Well I expect you would want to hear both sides of the coin, not just from those that are pleased with the units. I bought an Earthway planter for my elderly parents to use, and once they were gone it came back to me. In the meantime I bought a Lambert planter. The Lambert took less seed to "prime" the seed hopper and was otherwise much like the Earthway. The biggest problem I always found was that you had to buy several times the amount of seed you wanted to plant just to keep enough in the hopper to feed into the plate correctly. Seed is expensive. Since the hole sizes of the plates are for an average size of seed, they tend to slobber too many seed in some instances and not enough in other. In other words, you still need to figure on lots of hand thinning. For most of the years I've owned the Earthway it has been stored and I've planted by hand instead.
If my back bothered me like some people suffer, then yes, I'd probably use it. There you have another side of the coin.
