This Scotts crabgrass preventer is valued for early-season pre emergent control and lawn feeding in one bag, with roughly three months of prevention and coverage up to 5,000 square feet per bag. It is also described as useful on lawns and some landscaped areas, though timing matters because warm weather or soil above 60 degrees can make application too late. The main cautions are that it can kill new fall overseeding and that weed and feed formulas are viewed as less effective than separate products. The deal is seen as strong on price versus recent alternatives.
homeowners trying to prevent crabgrass on an established lawn because commenters say it "works great on grass/lawns for crabgrass" and primarily targets crabgrass (plus some grassy weeds).
lawn owners who can apply pre-emergent at the right soil temperature and season timing because commenters warn that if it's a heatwave it may be too late, but if soil temps are below 60°F you should apply ASAP.
homeowners who are specifically avoiding "weed and feed" because commenters say this type of product does not feed and that weed-in-feeds are "basically garbage," preferring separate products instead.
people who overseed in the fall but still want season-long prevention by using split applications and careful measuring because commenters recommend weighing the product, mixing in a bucket, and doing split applications (about 1/2 rate about a month apart) for longer coverage.
buyers who want a weed-control product for landscaped areas where they may need multiple applications because commenters say you can use it in those areas too, but you may need to apply a couple times (and they suggest spot-treating or blanket roundup for weeds).
lawn owners dealing with unusually warm spells right now because commenters say if you're experiencing a heatwave it's already too late to apply, and in North Carolina warm 80s days can trigger crabgrass early-making prevention harder to rely on.
people who want a true "weed and feed" that nourishes the lawn because commenters explicitly say it does not feed and criticize weed-and-feed products as inferior.
homeowners who overseeded in the fall because commenters say this will "kill any new growth" if you overseeded in the fall.
California lawn owners trying to apply later in the season because commenters say "already late for California," implying timing may be missed.
buyers who need the active ingredient clearly listed to judge effectiveness because commenters question why the active ingredients aren't explicitly listed, saying it's "literally the difference between grass live and death."

You need a liquid sprayer though. But the investment in that quickly pays you back since $79 gets you more and better coverage

Pro tip. Apply at 1/2 the rate about a month apart... that's called split apps for all season coverage
