The Earthway 2150 is a prosumer product. The construction is very rugged and the fit and finish are excellent. I can see it lasting for many years. This is not the toys you see at the home improvement and hardware stores.
The only caution I offer is that it comes completely disassembled. The instructions are good, but if you're not comfortable putting things together, I wouldn't recommend buying this spreader. I consider myself very handy and it took me 1-1/2 hours to put this together. |

The Earthway 2150 appears to be well designed and well constructed. The screen in the top of the hopper prevents clumps of material from getting to the stirrer at the bottom. Multiple slots in the bottom further minimize clogging. The pneumatic wheels, despite their plastic hubs, are so much better than the molded plastic ones used on cheaper units. I'm on the tall side so the adjustable handle eliminates backaches caused by having to bend over to push the spreader. The hopper holds a 40 pound bag of Ironite easily so I believe the 50 pound capacity claim is reasonable.
ASSEMBLY: The instructions are fairly good -- I only found one area that was a bit confusing. The one ding I would give them is the absence of a required tools list. As other reviewers have pointed out, figuring out which of the multitude of similar length bolts to use in each step is a bit challenging -- having a 6" rule handy is helpful. I completed the assembly in about an hour, but admit having an engineering background was an advantage. The application adjustment uses a plastic/metal wing nut which had one of the ears broken off on arrival -- I need to call and request a replacement.
Earthway provides a very useful "cheat sheet" that provides the information you need to determine the spreader setting based on coverage information on the fertilizer bag. Do pay attention to the coverage width information especially if you are applying something with a larger grain size like Ironite -- I learned this the expensive way.
The Earthway 2150 is more expensive than some, but as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." And it is Made in America.
Highly recommended.

| great strong product! | 2010-07-06 | 5 / 5 |

| We have had spreaders in the past and they are weak and don't last. This one is strong and very easy to use. Even our friend who is a landscaper wanted to know where we purchased so he could order some. |
| Made in Indiana ... great quality ... buy American!!! | 2010-07-04 | 5 / 5 |

I read the many posts here before purchasing ... I ordered Friday afternoon, chose the 1-day ship for $3.99, and it was at my home in less than 24 hours, and I'm 50 miles from DFW airport ... wow!
I bought the product because of the great reviews and because it is made in America (Indiana, to be exact). I looked at Lesco - made in China - and Lesco costs an extra $65.
Set up takes about 90 minutes ... it goes by quickly ... just follow the steps and pay attention. One note: I am 5' 9" and went with the lowest setting for the handles and it's perfect. I tried medium but it was too tall for my comfort. Maybe if I were 6' it would be o.k.
I also recommend using Loctite on the threads and nuts, either red or blue, though I used red since I don't plan to take it apart anytime soon (ever).
I will look to buy more from EarthWay. Why? Because they are Made in USA (and at high quality) ... I'm done buying cheap Chinese products (i.e., Scotts, Lesco, all the other big-brand names that outsource American jobs.
Good luck ... |
| Well built but inconsistent | 2010-07-01 | 3 / 5 |

| This spreader is well built and the large drive wheels make it a breeze to push. The only disappointment I have is the inconsistent pattern of the spreading. I expected better. |
