About this deal

Most lawn spreaders have adjustable settings so that you can easily dictate the rate at which it will distribute seed and fertiliser. Because of its small size, it can’t hold large quantities of fertiliser so even a full tank would only add about another 1.6 kilograms to the weight you need to carry, and even young kids could handle that easily.

Einhell GE-US Power X-Change Lawn Feed Spreader (best battery powered lawn feed spreader) [personally tested and proven] A leader in the lawn and garden world Scotts® is a brand trusted by many professional and amateur gardener. The fact that this product is a market leading drop spreader is also proof to this. Unlike our other Scotts product review, this one is a drop spreader and works in a slightly different way. Where a rotary spreader will use a turntable to throw the fertiliser, weed killer, etc. out in multiple directions, a drop spreader distributes the contents of the hopper straight down.

The handle on a drop spreader should be high enough for a person to easily push it in front of them .

As you can imagine, there’s a bit of a workout involved in pushing this fertiliser spreader around, especially when it’s full; the unit alone weighs 12.3 kg. However, it’s a great option for gardeners who don’t want to keep stopping and starting to top up the spreader.The construction is a mix of metal and plastic, with plastic wheels and tank fixed onto metal handles. The handles can be folded down for storage purposes but unfortunately, the height of them can’t be adjusted. Having said that, they come up about a metre tall, so it’s not like they are overly short to begin with. If you only have a small lawn, and don’t mind walking around a little to spread your fertiliser, you could do a lot worse than spending a few quid on this handheld Gardena lawn feed spreader. Another feature I thought was a good addition was the lower stand that made refilling the hopper so much easier, and I never felt like it was going to tip out under the weight of the feed.

In terms of price, this is a pretty expensive model. It certainly works well for spreading different lawn products, but it does have its flaws. Primarily: assembly is a real challenge. Putting the whole thing together can take upwards of an hour – a fact that is not helped, of course, by the inclusion of fairly ambiguous pictorial instructions. The most efficient way to feed the lawn because all of the fertiliser is delivered directly on to the lawnThe feeder hole in the bottom of the 18 litre capacity hopper is opened and closed using an ergonomically designed trigger found on the handlebars. I really liked the way this worked and felt very natural when you used it. However, it is still a very good lawn feeder spreader for the price and if used as intended, it does a great job.
