This has been replaced by the improved green spreader. The principals of operation are the same and they do the same job but this latest model has an improved warranty to 3 years and sturdier construction.MaintenanceFertiliser, being a salt, is highly corrosive so all spreaders should be thoroughly hosed out after use, air dried completely and all exposedmeal parts sprayed and/or wiped with a light oil such as WD40 or a  silicone spray. Corrosion is not covered by the warranty. Cleaning and maintenance videos here.Buying Guides

I love this - so easy to use especially grass seed which is difficult to spread with a drop spreader this really made light work of spreading grass and granular fertiliser

Takes a bit of getting use to and recommended setting was too high but after adjustments worked well

Would definitely recommend this. I have used a drop spreader which left me with lines.

Much easier to use/store than old push along spreader. My lawns are narrow so wasnt able to fully prevent seed spread to borders and paths but hopefully easily resolved by hoeing and raking a few times.

This product takes time and usage to gain maximum benefit. The operation of the spreader requires timely use of the handle and open close lever.Important to walk and turn handle before opening lever to distribute fertiliser.Likewise close lever and continue walking at end of run. If not accurate with this then a dump of fertiliser can occur which will need to be seen to.
