Ok for people with small yards. If you have more than 8000 sq. ft. to cover, I would not recommend this spreader. Why? well first of all $23.00 a bag plus tax to cover 4000 sq. ft. is not a good deal if you need to cover 15,000 sq. ft. that would be 4 bags @ around $100.00 total with Michigan tax. I can buy the same product (Scotts) in a 15,000 sq. ft.bag for around $60.00. Also the Snap Spreader only throws about 5 feet wide, so a lot more walking to cover my 15,000 sq. ft. My broadcast spreader, (Yes I have to fill the bin) will cover over 10 foot wide swath, so less passes needed. Less passes, less walking, less time spent putting it down. Also last year the spreader cost me around $40.00, now they practically give them away at the stores, and I think I know why. I will be going back to my broadcast spreader and maybe another product other than Scotts. Again if you have a small lawn to take care of, this may be ok for you, but is still more costly then using a regular spreader.
