Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the lightest metal cart I could find that is not a kiddie wagon or a very light wheelbarrow, yet my wife still prefers to use a broken plastic one that is lighter. She would rather buy a new plastic cart yearly (every one of those cracks and breaks, about yearly, because it must be stored outside). I find it lightweight, but she thinks it is heavy. A lighter steel one would be totally useless imo, it is excellent for those folks who are not big bruisers, for those have difficulty balancing a hundred pounds in a wheelbarrow, and for lady gardeners who want something sturdier than plastic. I find the cheap steel wheelbarrows and wagons to be hard to use due and even dangerous, in comparison to commercial ones, because of cheap wheels, tires and bearings, poor design, etc. In response to the reviewers who lament that you cannot carry 600 pounds of rocks or 8 bags of dirt in this--this is for the lady, elderly, disabled, small and so forth, who find it a challenge to handle more than a bag or two of mulch/dirt at a time. If you work with hundreds of pounds at a time, get a commercial wheelbarrow!!! (A good one starts at about $350 & up, don't even think of getting one of the cheapies). It is narrow for a reason--some need to move things through doors and through the house, and over stairs. You cannot do that with wheelbarrows and other carts. It's good to use when a small person is trying to fill up a yard waste bag alone or has to move a 30 pound pot around, when there isn't a big burly guy around. We are retired, have a detached condo with fenced yard,and do light yard and outside house maintenance. We don't have a lot of space to store a cart and a dolly in our garage. We have averaged a plastic cart every year or two, no matter how expensive, because the plastic in them breaks/cracks, so I want steel. I did not want a wagon (these always have pneumatic tires-- which have always failed us in the past). We want large wheels that don't go flat; two of them for stability. She needs something close to the ground. We can't spend $200+ on this. We cannot handle a wheelbarrow with 4 bags in it anymore. I flip the handles upside down to make it easier for me, a 6' guy, to handle (takes less than 10 seconds), and I flip them back to the normal position for my wife is small and short. The main utility portion of this unit is rated at 300 pounds. Looking at the sturdy individual parts, I'd say that is very conservative. The accessories are light duty, but as I said, big strapping guys don't need those. If you have the room and your lady gardens, get her one of these (or buy plastic carts yearly), and get a real commercial wheelbarrow for yourself. We just started using it this spring, so I am only giving it 4 stars. If it lasts as long as I suspect, I'll update the review in a year or two up to 5 stars.
