Q:I bought this in 2021, just used it few times. Recently I installed new batteries and when I use it, sometimes it works, somtimes it stops working. The quality is concerned. How could I get it repaired?

Answer This Question

A:  IF your Scotts Wizz Spreader is not working correctly this may be due to the edgeguard not being in the OFF position. It must be completely turned to one or the other. If it is set in between, there will be some binding. Please contact us at 877-220-3089 if further assistance is needed.

    Q:Can Gopher/Mole repellant be used on the Wizz Spreader?
    by|Dec 11, 2022
    4 Answers
    Answer This Question

    A:  Scotts Wizz Spreader can be used to spread granular products. To determine a setting for a non-Scotts product follow these steps: Place enough material in the hopper to cover 1,000 sq. ft. (Usually indicated on the bag of product, if not indicated, take pounds in bag and divide by the number of thousand square feet bag covers. Example: 23lb bag covers 5,000 sq ft, divide 23 by 5 to get 4.6lbs per 1,000 sq ft). Place the spreader setting on a low setting (Usually one-fourth of the spreader setting range or less). Spread the material over a 50 x 20 ft. area (This is 1,000 sq. ft.). If material is left over, you need to increase the setting. If you come up short, you need to decrease the setting. While this is not a scientific method for getting the spreader setting, it will get you in the ballpark for their product or spreader.

      A:  I have no idea! If the repellent is granular (like fertilizer) it should work. I do not know if it will work with pellets. You need to compare the openings in the spreader with the size of the repellent.

      by|Dec 17, 2022

        A:  Yes, you should be able use the Wizz Spreader depending on the size of the gradules. I found it very useful in spreading ice melt in the wintertime.

        by|May 13, 2023

          A:  Not sure but it seems to handle any type of granular product that you need to spread

              A:  If it got damp or wet, let it dry out. Ensure that it isn’t jammed up with product that may have become dampened. This occurred with mine. I cleared it out, let it dry out, and it worked fine.

                Q:On first attempt of use, It would appear the edge gaurd in the off position is keeping the product from spinning. Is there way to fix this or should I figure I got a broken one?

                    I have had my for over 1 year now. Bought mine after I watched my son use his. Very simple and effective. I start in the far corner of my yard and walk backwards. Than do each row walking backwards, with slight overlap. That way I don't get any on my shoes!!! Simple!

                      AA Batteries too weak
                      I have had 2 of these given to me as gifts. Think about it. How in the world are AA batteries going to work in a lawn care product. Both had the same issue of running ok for about 5 minutes then slowly died. It takes 3 sets of batteries to fertilize my small city lot. And that's only the front and side yard. There are now other brands of this concept that use standard rechargeable 18V lithium tool batteries. These are going to be heavier, but it beats taking out a tiny screw and replacing batteries 6 or 7 times a year. Had to go back to using this old antique. Going to get a broadcast spreader with wheels if I can find one without bad reviews. These hand held ones don't like a windy day. You end up with fertilized shoes and socks.

                        Control fell off
                        I bought this product today and used it for the first time. I tried to adjust the width of the spray and the control fell off. I am not returning it because the spray width works for what I need it for

                              Perfect for Blended yard with two types of grasses
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in NC and the road bakes in the summer which always killed the fescue. I planted Zoysia grass along the road back around 10 feet. The rest of the lawn is fescue grass. The Zoysia gets different fertilizer and being able to use this Wizz spreader keeps me from getting my large spread out. I love the motor! I had a hand crank one and it was tiring on the hand.

                                Easy to fill, spreads 5 feet and the liner worked fine. The negative is it clumps and you have to shake it so it keeps spreading which causes you to spread unevenly. The reason is the shape doesn't keep funneling the sead properly as it takes and motors from the front so by half, you constantly have to tilt it forward to spread.

                                We went to start it up and it does not work. Sadly, getting an operational whizz has proven difficult. I can not recommend spending ANY amount of money on this, it will be wasteful.

                                  Bought this for the 2019 season. Worked great. I liked the EdgeGuard. Small yard and used it 3 times. For fertilizer. Unfortunately, the system rotated only a few time this season. Replaced the batteries (4 AA) and still there is an issue with the wheel rotating. Hand rotation can start the system but rotates only a few times. There is NO manual handle. No backup. The motor does not have sufficient torque. Put in two different sets of batteries and still will not rotate longer than a few turns. I wish I had purchased something different.
