Handle broke a couple weeks after I got it. Hard to push when loaded and now bottom has cracked. DON'T BUY!

Just thought I would mention I just bought an identical cart from Orchard Supply for 41 dollars today. This price is WAY too high!

Bought to replace the old Step2 cart which we cannot find anymore, this one looks like it is going to be a winner. It has already hauled leaves, limbs, hay bales and about 150 pounds of rock at a time and it is doing just fine. Poor little thing got lucky and ended up the only working cart on the place besides my toddler's John Deere wagon.

Now I'll just have to see how it goes in the long term, the old Step2 is 10 years old now and the tires are split apart, the bottom is cracked and I've had a couple of the bolts rust out, so the poor thing has been relegated to leaves hauling only, but it took a beating in its time. The only thing worrying me is the little legs on the back, the Step2 was more flush to the ground which meant you could use it as a sledge for bigger loads.

And like one of the previous commenters, I wish someone sold the accessory rack. I can probably rig one, but it would be nice to have one that just dropped in and out as you needed it.

We bought this when it first came out. Because the handle does not extend very far out, when you are trying to move this cart around with a load, the back legs hit your feet. It holds a lot, but on a sloping lot this cart makes it very hard because it keeps hitting you in the shins if you take a full stride. As a result, we've stopped using it - it's just too awkward to take mincing steps to avoid getting bruised.

This was replacement for Rubbermade yard cart that gave up the ghost. I wanted something more "substantial", and I ordered the Flowtron. It is indeed more substantial-heavier plastic. Also, it has a different design, while lower in profile, seems to have more capacity. Wheels seem heavier than the Rubbermade cart, too. I'm pleased. One caveat. It ships in a very large cardboard box. Lots to recycle!

I bought this cart after reading many positive reviews. I am very pleased with my purchase. The cart is very study and easy to handle. It is well balanced and holds a lot of gardening supplies and/or clippings. With my bad back the cart is a life saver for this old gardener.

PS-it comes completely assembled and ready for immediate use.

I've been considering a garden cart for years but didn't know if it would be useful enough to justify the price. This inexpensive version is just right as a starter, it carried all my garden gear around easily AND I found it today at my local OSH for only $52.

I use this wheelbarrow EVERY day to take hay to feed my horses to and from the hay shed. I also use it to clean stalls! Try finding a two wheel, balanced, light weight wheelbarrow for under $200.... that you don't have to worry about flat tires. yes, it will be three times bigger, but this works for the price. I'd love a large $300 rubbermaid... but I'm afraid it will get stolen from where I board my horse. So this is awesome! I wanted a light weight barrow (you can pick up with one hand) to throw in my trailer or back of my truck easily. I've been using it for over a year now, hose it off and it looks new. The only complaint is in the sand/dirt when the tires get damp, the dirt really sticks to them.

This is the 2nd one I own. Much better than a normal wheel barrow. Highly recommend.

Bought this for my son in law for Xmas, he had borrowed the neighbors and commented how much he liked it, so I kept it in mind for Xmas and ordered him one. He was so happy and it is very well made and sturdy.
