I bought this spreader because of its compact size. We recently moved in to a smaller residence than the farm we had in VA. I have a small lawn and limited garage space. This spreader folds and stores easily and has a very small footprint. The SNAP bags attach easily and they are the perfect size for the area I need to cover. The one drawback is that the bag doesn't completely empty and I found myself making a slit in the bottom to dump the remainder.
