Have used this multiple times and works great. Opening adjustment must be monitored because screw can loosen over time. But very happy with performance otherwise.

We recently replaced our old soft sided spreader with this. My husband uses it more than I do and he is very happy with the quality and ease of use.

Works fine except for light seeds like oats. They bridge up and do not fall as I had hoped. Other heavier seeds and fertilizer work fine.

Works as it should. Sometimes it falls out of adjustment, so check the setting before use.

Why are spreaders so expensive? $200 seems like a lot of money for a small bucket with a spinning crank on the bottom. It's not just this one either. The bag spreaders are a lot for what they are in my opinion. That being said, I had to learn the lesson "you get what you pay for" for the 20th time in my life. I started out with the cheapest of the cheap bag spreaders. I really only use it for hunting food plots and spreading corn so I didn't want to spend more money than needed. That lasted a season before the strap broke. Made my own strap and kept it for another season where it just stopped working. Trash. Sucked it up and bought a good bag seeder. $60... Much better than the cheap unit. The handle turn was smooth and the output adjustment would stay put and was easy to operate. The major issue was filling it. It's hard to fill without spilling a lot of seed on the ground because its floppy. So I cut out the bottom of an appropriate sized plastic flower pot and put it in the bag for some stability while filling. It worked ok for the most part but the spreader didn't hold much and was still inconvenient.Well, that brought me to here, a ridiculously expensive hand held bucket spreader! As much as I hate to admit it, it's worth the money. It is a quality product that solves all of my issues from my previous experiences. I can set it on the ground, or on a table, or wear it while filling it with no spillage. You can really fine tune the output adjustment if you are into that sort of thing. It's smooth and does a great job with seed and corn. No issues or concerns whatsoever. I can also see how this would be much more pleasant than a push spreader on uneven, root stricken ground. It is also comfortable. I wore it for an entire day and had no issues. The capacity is roughly 25lbs of corn if that helps. Do yourself a favor and skip the life lesson. Get the good stuff up front and save money!

The best feature about this spreader is that it is made in America. The configuration of the straps makes it easy on my back. I use it on a commercial farm for granular herbicide primarily, so I appreciate the flexible lid that prevents any irritating dust from the hopper.

I needed a new spreader and this one is perfect. The price was pretty good as well as the warranty.

I'm 5'10" and about 180lbs. I could not get the straps to fit me at all. I tried adjusting them over and over, putting them on upsidedown, insideout... This just kept hanging too low for me. If I was 30lb heavier or had a giant beer gut, the bucket might actually sit at a comfortable location, but if you are small or have a more athletic build, the bucket hangs just at your belt and the crank is way too low. I'm going to cut the straps and re-sew them or maybe add some padded sleeves around them to take up some slack.Aside from the strap issue, the product is solid and spreads seeds as advertised. I want to keep it and make it work, but out of the box, it was awkward to use.
