It works well without all the bells & whistles of the more expensive ones--a bargain that works as well for a lot less money.

The product is very good for the price. However, when I wanted to use it with my Dodge Grand Caravan, The pieces were not able to match. I did use it anyway, but I have to drive slower than normal to avoid loosing the bikes.

I purchase the rack because it looked similar to one I had several years ago. Overall, it is simple to attach to the car and appears quite stable. It folds up relatively small and fits in the trunk when not in use. One minor problem is the it does not accomodate women's bicycles very well. Also the placeholders for the bicycles seem to be designed for racing bikes and do not accomodate cruisers very well. It would have been better to leave the bar smooth to provide more flexibility in terms of placing the bicycles on the rack. The most substantial complaint is that the descriptions indicated that it fit on virtually any trunk. However, the box and the instructions indicated it was only designed to fit over the spare tire of SUVs. Putting it on the trunk does not appear to be a problem, but the sellers should be clearer about this. Overall, though it is a good rack for the price.

The rack works fine. Everything was pre-assembled,which is good because I'm not mechanically inclined.It took about 10-15 minutes to adjust the 2 upper straps to my Crown Vic (2001) so the rack wouldn't slip or move while in use.

The product was new and it arrived the very next (even though I did pay for next day air!). Excellent customer service.
