Cordless Spreader 18V Power X-Change, Adjustable Scatter Width, Variable Flow Rate, for Fertilizer, Grass Seed, Salt and Grit, Without Battery GE-US 18 Li Solo

I've previously used a basic manual spreader from a local DIY shop and the Scotts Wizz Hand-held spreader, which is battery-powered but inconveniently requires 4 AAA batteries. The most significant improvement with the Einhell spreader is that it doesn't suffer from material buildup in the chamber. A major flaw with many handheld spreaders is that the material being dispersed tends to accumulate behind the rotating mechanism. If you tilt the spreader even slightly, this collected material can suddenly dump in one spot. This was a persistent and frustrating issue for me, particularly when applying fertilizer. Thankfully, the Einhell spreader completely avoids this problem, distributing all the material evenly without any annoying buildup in the chamber. I love it, and this feature alone would have convinced me to purchase it. The ability to adjust the spreading speed, aperture size, and even the spreading angle simultaneously is fantastic. At its highest setting, this spreader can cast materials significantly further than any of my previous spreaders, including the Scotts Wizz. I often found the Scotts Wizz would jam or struggle to spread when the container was full, and sometimes its trigger would get stuck in the open position. Thanks to its powerful 18V battery, the Einhell doesn't experience these issues, delivering incredibly good spreading performance. I use an Einhell PXC Plus 4Ah battery, which has a slimmer profile than the previous generation (making a 4Ah battery the same size as an older 2.5Ah one), and it seems to last an eternity with this spreader. While the spreader is a bit on the heavier side with the battery attached, this becomes negligible once you've loaded it with 3kg of material. The size is very suitable with a maximum material weight probably around 3-3.5 kg. Another plus is that the spreader requires no assembly; it's ready to use straight out of the box. Just attach a battery, and you're good to go. Priced around £30-£35, this spreader offers incredible value for money, especially if you already own Einhell batteries.

Good solution for spreading salt during the colder days of winter, having been using this einhell spreader for a couple of years now for a quicker way of de-icing the driveway, less time outside during those colder days the better. Find using dishwasher salt granuals works best and even on the lower settings get good directional coverage without using too much salt, when done I then use the einhell battery leaf blower to clear any salt dust within the spreader, if you find it does clog then a little tap and a larger setting soon clears any salt blocking the spreader area and it is back working fine, for a 30 meter driveway it only takes a few minutes to spread salt and a very small amount of battery use, certainly a worthwhile investment for the shorter colder days of the year.

Good coverage and value for money

Works well

Very impressed with this. I already have other Einhell tools so I have the batteries. I used it to spread granular fertiliser and it's so much easier than a push along feeder. It's not too heavy and has a good sized bucket. The adjustment options are excellent.

Purchased for spreading road salt and grass seed, I have just tested this with 10 kg worth of salt. I'm impressed with the spread and rate manual adjustment controls, and coverage is actually really good indeed. I found on footpaths to slow the spinner right down and to narrow the spread of the salt; even then I found it useful to give bursts on the trigger. For larger/wider areas, whacking the speed up all the way and widening the spread angle provided excellent coverage up and down our street. What is probably equally important is that the distribution is even and you get good distrubtion and spread for the quantity of salt. No more lugging a bucket full of salt and a shovel to spread it! The Einhell spreader gets the job done in a fraction of the time. Just remember to clean the spreader after using salt.

Works well and spreads great.

!doesn't take Makita batteries!
