The Snap Spreader is light weight and easily handled by this 73 year old female. I like not having to lift heavy bags of fertilizer into a spreader. I also like not having to decide what setting I should be using on my off-brand hopper spreader and I don't have to sweep sidewalks after use. I never knew how much product I needed but now when a bag is empty, I snap in another one knowing that the right amount is being put on my lawn. My only complaint is that not all the products are currently available for the Snap System. I trust that they will be soon.
