Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

To be quite honest, I purchase a lot of products from Amazon, but rarely take out the time to write a review. However, for this product I must say a few words. No I am not throwing around that 4-star rating effortlessly, however the amount of effort I save by using the Flatform 4 should be recognized. I replaced a set of hand-carts with this hand "truck" and I could not be happier. The construction is superb, it folds down and expands in under 10 seconds and holds a great deal of stuff in place while transporting. It is extremely sturdy (it holds more than 300lbs), although I would not make a habit of it. I would presume that you are interested in purchasing this hand truck because of its unique ability to fold down into such a compact size, and you would be right. Even though it can handle such a great deal of weight, the wheels move freely, it never locks up and then folds down into a compact size which is perfect for travel. I personally liked it so much, I bought a second unit which I keep in the trunk of my car at all times. It takes up such little space that I don't even mind or notice it being there. It has come in handy on many occasions. I purchased some office furniture recently and while I had help getting the furniture in the car, my only help getting it out was the Flatform Truck - but boy was it convenient and saved me a great deal of time and stress on my back. Due to it's compact size, it is easily able to carry a hefty load while navigating through tight spaces. Not only that, but it is fairly easy to take over a step-up (not stairs) or a curb for example. This is a very valuable feature that I don't think is really advertised much. If there is a small curb about 6"-8" or so, you can pop it right up over the curb rather than having to look for a ramp. This is very very convenient. I really don't have anything bad to say about the product, and I wish I could have given it 4.5 stars on Amazon. The reason I am not giving it a full 5-star review is because I feel there are a couple of things that could possibly make it better, although these are not a deal-breaker in any way because when compared to the competition this product is still far ahead. However, just to be fair, I will point out that I wish the truck had some sort of a "brake" so if it was placed on a slight incline it might not roll away. Sometimes when I am unloading things from my car, I notice it has the tendency to roll even on a slight hill. The other improvement I think that could be made (while it's not as big of a deal) is when you fold it up, the wheels contract within the base of the truck, however if you are say putting it in your trunk with the portion holding the wheels facing downward, gravity will cause the wheels to flip open on the bottom. This is really not so much of a problem rather than a nuisance since you can easily turn the wheel to tuck it properly in the base. Although when I am storing it in my trunk, I just flip it over so I don't have that issue. Other than these two points, everything else about the truck is perfect and I would definitely buy more products from this company in the future!
