The instructions left a lot to be desired, and some adjustments had to be made to the metal parts in order for them to fit. I've since gone to the company website and looked at their customer reviews to discover that others have had the same experience. The ad for this cart says it can carry large rocks, but anyone using this item must bear in mind they will be deadlifting from near their feet, and that is rough on the elbows and back. I can haul several hundred pounds in a regular wheelbarrow, but couldn't balance this with 165 pounds in it. The next test was to put an automotive tire in it, but it wouldn't balance in the sling because of the narrow lower end. Next I put a large rock in the sling and decided it would either rip the fabric or my back before I got across the yard. If you want to rest the load while in transit, you cannot, the handles have to be lowered to the ground and to start up again, another deadlift. I laid it flat, filled it with dirt, and proceeded to lift, only to have the dirt slide to the lower end with some spilling out. I wanted this to work in a narrow space, but the handles were too wide, something I could not find information on when ordering. The only advantage I can see to this WheelEasy is that it can be hung on the wall. My husband says keep it, we may find a use for it yet. I give this a 1 because I think it is a good idea, but needs better engineering.

Sturdy, works well. Folds a little bigger than expected. The kicker: this product needs a longer nose in front of the wheel. There is no leverage to dump the contents out!

This looked like a great idea, however the first shipment was truly a "bucket of bolts". All of the components were thrown in the box without any shipping material. The box was mangled, the parts were all scratched, and one of the straight posts had fallen out in shipping. Plus, the plastic bag used to hold all of the hardware is so thin, all of the parts had fallen all over the place. I called Allsop and they blamed the internet distributor. I contacted SnapDragon and he fumed. It was drop shipped from Allsop, they sent it that way! SnapDragon was unbelievably responsive. He had a full replacement sent PLUS the parts to make a second Wheel Easy. WhooHoo! Not so fast. The second one arrived battered again. One of the straight posts was sticking out of the box! It was 2 UPS stops from being lost again. The hardware had fallen out all over their bag and parts were missing again. Not so fast on building 2 Wheel Easy's. I have one and two-thirds. Also, the holes used for the detent pins don't line up. These should pop in and out with your hands, Instead, it's a hammer and vise grip affair when you need both pins to transition the collapse. The post holes are about 1/8" offset, so out came the drill bits and reamer to bore these out to make them usable. I don't want to complain about products manufactured in China like this unit, but this is bad QC on part of the importer (Allsop).

This "folding wheelbarrow" is super convenient. It doesn't take up much room in my shed and can easily be thrown in the back of the SUV to take to grandma's house to help in her yard. BUT you do sacrifice some of the features of a regular wheelbarrow. It doesn't retain it's shape so it's harder to load with things. And it is actually a lot harder to push than a regular wheelbarrow. I think the best would be to buy this AND a regular wheelbarrow. But if you are tight on space, this is definitely the way to go!

I have used this to haul rocks and other heavy items in my yard. I am glad I heeded the advice of other reviews and got this size rather than the smaller model. It is not just more convenient to store than traditional wheelbarrows, it is more functional. Being able to lay the carrying surface flat on the floor is a real bonus.

Lawn, garden & yard work can be back breaking and strenuous. The Wheeleasy makes many tasks more efficient because you don't have to lift to load it, like a wheelbarrow. Once it is loaded, if you squat and lift with your legs (good industrial hygiene every blue collar worker knows), you can take this thing downtown with little effort.

I used it to drag hogtied tarps full of live oak leaves onto, and then wheeled it considerable distance into the woods. Before the Wheeleasy, I dragged the tarps the whole distance or "cleaned and jerked" the tarp onto my back and walked it. It is much less effort to wheel it. I know I will find many other uses for it.

It won't replace the wheelbarrow, but it sure is sweet when you need it. imo the design and quality are very good. Easy to assemble (for me anyway).

This is a great little helper! Good leverage for carrying heavy items, easy to assemble and tough components.

We bought this to suppliment a large garden cart. It turned out to be too big to maneuver into tight spots so we exchanged it for the smaller version which is also quite a bit lighter and more maneuverable. Folding is easy, but not instantaneous. Ground level loading is a great feature.

This gadget is light weight. It carries alot. It lays flat against my wall for storage and flat for rolling items onto. It's very useful!!~

Great item, takes up little room in the garage, but is there when you need it.
