Detailed Review
The WORX WG869 20V Cordless Broadcast Spreader replaces manual hand-crank spreaders with a motorized, one-handed broadcasting system. Weighing just 3 lbs, it is built for homeowners who want to spread grass seed, fertilizer, weed control, ice-melt, or livestock feed across their property without manual effort or fatigue.
Material distribution is powered by a motor equipped with an anti-clog agitator designed to prevent jamming and maintain an even broadcast rate. You can customize the distribution using a six-speed dial that adjusts both the motor speed and the broadcast radius up to a maximum distance of 5 feet. Output volume is managed through an eight-setting baffle flow control, allowing precise delivery for various material sizes. Settings 1 through 2 accommodate fine grass seeds, settings 3 through 6 cover light to heavy fertilizers, and settings 7 through 8 handle larger materials like pearled fertilizer and pavement ice-melt.
To prevent stray granules from spilling where they do not belong, an integrated edge-control deflector keeps material contained within lawns and away from driveways, walkways, and garden beds. Operating the unit is comfortable thanks to its lightweight construction and an easy-squeeze trigger handle. Power is supplied by a 20V battery, which is interchangeable across more than 140 tools and outdoor equipment within the Worx Power Share line.
As a compact handheld device, it covers up to 4,600 square feet per load, meaning larger yards will require multiple hopper refills. The maximum broadcast width of 5 feet is also narrower than large push or tow-behind spreaders, requiring more passes across expansive spaces. Operation depends entirely on maintaining a charged 20V battery.
Verdict: The WORX WG869 offers an efficient, comfortable solution for managing lawn maintenance, weed treatment, and seasonal de-icing. Its combination of speed tuning, flow regulation, and edge shielding makes it a practical tool for medium-sized lawns and residential landscaping tasks.
