You get what you pay for (you can also do stupid)

For the spreading of fertilizer LQ 400 I needed a spreader. Gritter are relatively expensive, take the scales off place and function, according to reviews here even more bad than good. In this respect, I came across this hand spreader.
The previous reviews give a mixed picture. Many are extremely enthusiastic in mostly very tight reviews, some even bring but always the same criticisms. In this respect, here is my opinion on, especially the repeatedly discussed points.

General processing:
Yes, the device acts processed relatively cheap. A few nested plastic parts such as in a typical China product.

The battery compartment:
Yes, the battery clamps, alone with my fingernail, I could not open it. But prying with a small screwdriver was no problem (by now several times). If the thing breaks when first opened, it was either a Monday device, or "where brute force rules mindlessly ...".

The dials:
Yes, the label consists of small engraved numerals, corresponding to yellow to yellow. Could we better highlight, but is not a problem. I can see the numbers in any case read, and you also do not rotate continuously during use turn around.

The Instruction:
Yes, which is concise, but what should be in there too? The device is already configured, you have to insert batteries, set two adjusting wheels, pour seeds, pushing a lever back, push a button and start running.
That there can be no accurate data on the values ​​to be selected the setting wheels, is actually entirely logical. In order to distribute such as 30g of seed per m², for I have a few variables:
-The Setting of adjusting wheels
-The Mass of seeds
-The Own pace!
Line through the last point should fully appreciate that only helps to try. If a pack of fertilizer should be enough for 400m², and I consume either much more or much less fertilizers for this area, then I just have to either change the setting wheels or my walking pace!

Constantly, the device must be shaken:
Nonsense. The seed comes out without any problems even at medium opening. That the last remnant may have to be "shaken out", is completely understandable for me, that's what happens in a funnel. This is also a maximum at the very end before, because before you can indeed just refill when the seed to an end.

The battery consumption:
No idea where should be the problem here. For the fertilization of 400m² garden, the device runs an estimated 10 minutes. My batteries (who uses ordinary batteries, and are not removed after use from the device itself must not complain) were then not logically empty. I do not know whether a battery now lasts for 30 or 300 minutes, but de facto it is sufficient for the fertilization of the garden.

Conclusion: I can logically after one use to say anything to the longevity of the products, possible that it does not last forever. Certainly it could be processed high-quality, but for 20 you can definitely expect miracles. It served its purpose entirely satisfactory, nothing more, nothing less.
