Customer Reviews for ECHO 60 lbs. Heavy-Duty Spreader

The Echo 60 lb spreader work very well. Much more stable than my Scotts Spreader. The larger wheels rolled easier over the lawn and roots from trees. The Echo Spreader is built well and easy to use. Overall, I am very pleased with it.

Works great replaced a smaller one now spreads twice as fast.

Another great product from Echo!! Very stable platform with large easy to roll wheels. I love the lowtech side guard to keep from distributing material into the beds. Works well and it just folds out of the way. Spreader has a large agitator in bottom of hopper that works great. Very well made and heavy duty. Very easy to put together as well!! Well thought out product for a change!

Excellent performance!

This spreader is much more robust than other home products for spreading fertilizer and seed.

Easy to assemble and it works great.

Quality component materials used and the design is good except for the hopper design that does not empty completely while spreading and the handle to open/shut the feed to the spreader does not have a lock. But still better than most.

Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the spreader. Very heavy duty and definitely a great spreader for the money. Period. The only thing I did not like is the lever that you pull and hold to release, the seed has a strong spring and your hand gets tired after a few minutes of holding that while you’re pushing the spreader.

Great spreader, Best available in this price range. Sturdy and large capacity.

It worked well for part of the yard. The discharge gate will no longer open with the pull lever. It's stuck in the closed position. I will be returning this spreader. I expected more from Echo.

Works well but a bit pricey for plastic wheels, if I get 20+ years out of it I will edit this review to more stars

The spreader arrived in a timely manner and assembly was a breeze. It performed as you would expect it to perform. The inflatable wheels made pushing it easier than the hard plastic wheels on others. The setting’s are clearly visible and include other popular designs. The echo settings mirror those you find on Scott’s spreaders. The settings selector is conveniently located. I would recommend this for all users.

Only used it one time. But seems like a quality product and it spreads fertilizer nicely. It was mostly assembled and only took a couple minutes to put together.

Well built will last a long time , spread will cut my time in half

This spreader was definitely worth it . Quality

Worth the extra money. This could easily be a $300 spreader based on other spreader options. The only negative is that when you get near the end of the seed or fertilizer, then you have to shake the spreader to get it to go down the hopper. This doesn't really bother me too much. I would buy it again. I originally bought the Scott's Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX. It was okay, but the edge guard broke within 5 minutes of the first time of using it. Home Depot was great about accepting the return.

Solid build, worked like it supposed to!

I must have put together wrong ,I just used it first time,I had dial set on the lowest number,I was putting down Potassium.it came out to fast,I need advice

Spreader worked great. Trying to register it was not straightforward. Echo's website directed that the serial number was on the orange hopper, but it was on the black gear case and not easy to see. The two plastic inserts for the leg ends fell off within 15 minutes of use. Luckily, I found them in the yard. It is a great hopper and easy to set the opening and use.

Sturdy unit. The lowest Setting (#2) for dispursing material (Fertilizer, pesticide etc.) is still too fast. Should have a lower setting. I may block one of the 2 ports in the hopper to allow less material flow.
