Broke
By Phillip on 09/28/2018
Bought this to use with Bifen L/P Insecticide Granules . I don't know if this is just not compatible with the Bifen granules or just poor quality overall but it jammed with first attempt. After trying again it jammed and handle stripped off.

Might be OK for grass seed or fairy dust but pelletized herbicide, fertilizer or god forbid, rock salt will laugh at this thing. The plastic crank spindle sheared out of the drive socket on the very first crank, spilling herbicide in a concentrated heap on a section of my lawn. Not pretty. Since it is not possible to give a zero star rating (I think) it gets a single star. Don't let that mislead you.

Didn't work for me
By Ken on 05/20/2019
I first tried it with Deer Scram but it clumped and clogged. So I next tried using it to spread dry pelletized Milorganite. It jammed. Also, when filled with product, you can't set it down without risk of tipping over. So I don't know what product would work with this spreader. The Domyown customer service was great when I told them about my experience.

Not for pest granules

Doesn't work with granulars
By Derek on 01/07/2022
I bought this spreader because I've had good luck with the chapin brand in general. Brand new It clogged when I used bifen granulars, I tried talstar granules next and same outcome. I then switched to intice granules and it poorly puts it out. Sorry chapin this one needs to go back to the drawing board. I'll use my Scott's spreader which hasn't failed me yet
worst product and company

I bought 2 and they both don't spread. clogs badly. I called DoMyOwn for complain about the product and they told me I had to call Chapin. days and days of being on hold, leaving my number and never getting a call back. I will never by anything from Chapin again. all I got was the run around.
