Don't waste your money, energy, or space
Purchased this product as a Christmas gift for the two of us. I am an avid gardener and yard person. I was looking for a new wheelbarrow when I came across this multifunctional cart. It seemed to have a lot of features that we would use in the garden. I particularly liked the fact that it could be used as a dolly and had flat-free tires. Overall , it is Not worth the money or aggravation. It has a great deal of features and applications. So far I have used the cart for a couple of projects. 1) Haul garden debris in the basin. 2) Bag feature to haul pine straw 3) Bag feature for leaves Pros: Multifunctional Ability to add pieces to increase functionality Bag holder feature. The elastic band holds the trash bag in place securely around the metal hoop while filling. Extra room below/behind the bag within the basin allows the user to stash and haul more debris while the full bag secures that load. Flat-free tires Dolly Easy to assemble Sturdy Cons: Heavy. Pushing the cart without a load is heavy. Pushing the cart with a load is heavier--for obvious reasons. Pulling the cart seems to reduce workload when going uphill or over rough terrain. By rough terrain, I mean an uneven grassy area of yard. [Ridiculous, that I even have to describe my yard as rough terrain.] Often times when we use a dolly, we transport it with us to pick up an item from a neighbor's house, etc. There is no way I can lift this thing into the truck to use it at a different location. I need a lift just to lift this thing! Flat-free tires. The tires have no "give" to them. There is no "bounce", which makes maneuvering the cart more energy demanding. When pushing the cart over an uneven walkway, the cart immediately stops if encountering a bump or lip of walkway greater than 2". The user must alternate a slight lifting action of the handles in order to overcome the bump. Forget about maneuvering over a rock or brick and any interference greater than 2" in height from ground surface. Back up and go around, or move the interference. Aggravation. Plant transporter. I'll probably never this feature. We have an established landscape, and it's just to heavy to haul the neighbor's house to assist with tree planting projects. Rock transporter. I might use this feature to haul bricks or pavers, but seeing how I can't get it to roll over rough terrain without expending a lot of excessive energy defeats the purpose. Right now I have a crappy red wheelbarrow that does one thing: hauls stuff. But the crappy wheelbarrow seems to outperform the WORX cart by far. Even with a replacement tire and a metal bar that occasionally drags on the wheel, I have a better workhorse for my garden projects. I'll continue to use the WORX cart because it cost $118.00 (on-sale) and it would cost $31 to return it plus the aggravation of having to "package it in its original packaging". I did read a lot more of the reviews after the fact...big mistake. So hopefully, you are reading this BEFORE you bought the product. Do yourself a favor and just buy a wheelbarrow, unless you like to waste money, energy, and space in your garage.
