Works great. I use it for grass seed and ice melt. No clumps! Everything comes out evenly.

Need Pace Instructions for REAL application rate.
3 out of 5 stars
NeedPaceData - 1 year ago

Works as advertised, but there is no information on what speed to walk or what speed to crank. If I walk slow and crank fast, I am putting down a lot of product. If I walk fast and crank slow, I am putting down a little product. That can be a 10x difference in application rate. So how do you know if you are putting down too much or too little? Please provide walking feet/minute and cranking rotations/minute, or at least a video of what pace to walk and pace to crank. Otherwise, it is a complete crapshoot on how much is actually getting applied.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 1 year ago
When using Scotts Whirl Hand-Powered Spreader you will need to walk at a normal pace (20 feet in 5 seconds), turning the crank fast enough to get an even distribution of material. Take care not to spread product onto unwanted areas, such as landscaping, vegetable garden, sidewalk, driveway, etc. For spreader settings check the label of the product being applied. We do not recommend applying granule pesticides with a hand-held spreader unless the spreader setting is listed on the bag. This is a health concern because of increased exposure to product compared to when applying with a push spreader). Please visit our video guide on using this spreader: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f92F63O8lro). For any additional information and assistance. Please reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714.

We have been using the hand crank Whirl for years and usually get an entire season out of it. However, this year we barely got a month out of the Whirl and the handle keeps coming off.

Contradiction re: herbicide usage

The spreader works well. However, your site says for weed, feed, etc. Then later on your site, there is a caution not to use it for herbicides. Contradiction!

I’ve bought several of these spreaders over the years. The construction has changed little but the one thing that I would like to see is an ambidextrous model, or a left handed model. The under arm stop was a good idea for hand fatigue but being able to switch hands would be a plus. Maybe it’s not profitable but I’d be willing to pay more to obtain something with a crank on both sides. G.
Nifty little spreader

Used the product today, worked well, but had to guess on what the setting would be for over-seeding my lawn. The Vigoro Bermuda Grass Seed I purchased did not indicate what the setting should be using a Scott’s Whirl hand held, rotary or any other spreader. Would be nice if your product listed the correct setting for over-seeding a lawn.
No chart on application rates

There is no instructions or charts to know how much product you’re spreading. It’s a guess! I’m putting down The Anderson’s .48% Barricade. Which setting do I use ? 1,2,3?
1 reply from Customer Care team - 1 year ago
Thanks for your inquiry. Settings will be listed on the product label not on the spreader. Do not use a hand-held spreader to apply a product containing a pesticide (herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, etc) UNLESS a hand-held spreader setting is provided on the label.
MISSING INSTRUCTIONS ON APPLICATION SETTINGS!!!

Annoyingly omission - 1 year ago
originally posted on Scotts
Looking for what the settings to use for application. Why dont you have them up here rather than the lame "set orange dial to the correct setting.... Your instructions here do not do justice to being useful by explaining Setting 1 = X lbs/unit, setting 2=X lbs/unit. Common sense in my opinion. Why would Scott not have the simple scale definition up here at the website?

I bought this a few days ago. Definitely makes spreading seeds and fertilizer easier however, many of the fertilizer pellets fall onto the ground while using and the width that the fertilizer shoots out is too wide for the area of my lawn that’s narrow. It would be great if there was a way to adjust this setting without having to purchase a separate attachment.

Much better product compared with similar one from Gardena. Unfortunately, I lost the small paddle inside. It is simply mounted on the axle. where can i get it?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotts® Whirl™ Hand-Powered Spreader features an adjustable forearm support. This support spreads the weight out which eases the pressure on your wrist. Using the Scotts® Whirl™ is so comfortable! It is a nice upgrade from my old Scotts spreader that I've used for years.

Perfectly easy to use and does a great job on a small yard. The spreader itself is light weight and the pull out arm rest really makes it easy to hold up with one hand for an extended period of time.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Got a second scotts whirl hand held Spreader given how light and dependable this mini Spreader works. Great for tight spots and holds a good amount of fertilizer in the bin.
