My wife wanted a lightweight garden cart to use instead of the wheelbarrow. This was one of the less expensive ones I saw online. She likes it, it fills the lightweight bill and rolls nicely. Molded into the back part are holders for hand tools and a 5 gal bucket. On assembly the handle has to be pushed into the holes evenly. The handle is a tight fit so I put a bit of dish soap on the ends for lubrication which made it easier.

My wife really loves this cart. Pulling the cart is effortless and the long handle prevents the cart from hitting the ankles. It holds a lot and the big wheels and handle provide very good balance when it is parked or being pulled about the yard.

Amazon provides a very good price on this cart. However, our cart was delivered merely wrapped with a strong shipping plastic - not in a box. Subsequently the first cart that was delivered was damaged and had to be returned. The replacement cart also arrived in heavy plastic wrap - but it was undamaged. Obviously Amazon gets these carts in bulk and has no container in which to deliver them. However, Amazon handled the reshipment and return very well - as usual.

This cart is basically a 15 gallon paint bucket with wheels.

The Good.

It is lightweight.

The ledge by the handles is molded plastic, as is everything, and has a indentation to fit a 5 gallon paint bucket. That's nice. On each side of that is uncovered compartments that include a molded indentation for a water bottle or can of soda.

The Bad.

Because of the design if you put in a 40lb bag of topsoil it tips forward and you have to press down hard on the handles to maneuver it. I wouldn't put much more than that in it either.

The handles are flimsy feeling for good reason. They are.

The wheels are good if you stay on mowed dry grass or a walk way. Otherwise you are going to have problems.

Assembly was the usual. The holes for the handle were not drilled correctly.

Summary

If you have a small yard or garden and want something to carry a potted plant in it is good. Also, if you're weeding or doing light trimming it is fine.

What a wonderful garden cart but of course anything made by Fiskars is a quality product. I can carry everything I need to my backyard including the thrash bag to collect trimmings or a bag of planting soil. As I have other Fiskars products I did not hesitate to order this cart.

I love this cart. It is easy for me to take around the yard, it holds things that I need to use while I am working outside. I have filled it with dirt, broken limbs, potted plants to put in the ground. All work just fine. I like that elastic that holds a shovel or rake, too.
Fiskars makes nice things and this is certainly one of them.

This item was very easy to assemble and has proven to be a great cart for gardening. I didn't bolt down the handle because I wanted the flexibility to remove it and lift the basin without the handle getting in the way.

Excellent purchase. I cut the picture of this out of one of my Better Homes and Garden magazine, and knew we had to have it. I purchased this for my husband because BHG raved about it so. It was easy as pie to assemble, and is extremely capable of doing a variety of tasks. The cup holders are great for those hours of working and in need of iced tea, and the bungee cords are fabulous and are a surprise multi-tool! I would recommended this to anyone who needs a garden cart for everyday uses around the home and garden.

This Fiskars 6221 4-Cubic-Foot Garden Cart is a wonderful addition to better organize my garden work. I'm very happy to have it. It helps carry all the tools and my water bottle :-) It is very big, bigger than I expected, but it's OK with me. I'm only a little afraid to use it for a heavier items like large flower pots (it's made from plastic). But I love the fact that it's extremely light.
In the nutshell; it was a great buy! Thank you!

I received this cart missing the wheel axle. Fiskars sent it to me but it was a bit of a hassle. The cart itself is handy.

I like everything about this little cart, especially the stability as opposed to a true wheelbarrow as it doesn't tip over to the side. however, if full of dirt/loam it is very difficult to push, and a standard wheelbarrow would be better. also, if you leave something heavy on the top shelf and nothing in the bottom, it will flip. Aside from that its a nice little unit.
