5.0 out of 5 stars Back Saver for moving, October 5, 2010

Whenever I've moved an apartment or house, I always rented an appliance dollly from U-Haul. What the heck, it only adds $10 to the bill and they really DO make life a lot easier.

I've been able to move fridges, washers, dryers, etc. by myself. Just stick the hand truck under one side, run the strap around, cinch it up and wheel away. I even managed to move a very large and VERY heavy entertainment center single-handed. It is all a matter of balance. The trick is the strap as a normal hand truck won't work.

Now, I'd have to move more than ten more times for this to pay for itself. But by having my own, I save driving twice to U-Haul just to get it. That's because I've found that I use my regular hand truck a lot more than I'd figured, just around the house. Yet there are times I've need an appliance dolly instead. I could drive to U-Haul or call my son to come over and then struggle with it. Now, I just head out to the shop, grab this appliance dolly and move whatever it is. Done.

This Harper unit seems to be just as sturdy as the one I've been renting from U-Haul and came in very handy in helping a family clear out the house of a close friend who recently passed.

Even better, my son uses it as needed and will probably be using it long after I'm gone. At 30 years of age, I figure he as at least one or two moves left in his life. ;-)

As an end note, it was rather funny watching the UPS guy pushing this down the hall when he delivered it. I teased him about not using his hand truck to deliver my hand truck. It is wrapped in white plastic when shipped. Pretty obvious what the package contained.

The dolly comes in a white plastic wrapper. On the inside it was covered with bubble wrap which at times was hard to remove. The unit had a few places with missing paint to the point that the metal showed. However, it works great. The stair climber feature saved me a lot of effort and made my job so much easier. It maneuvered up two flights of stairs with a landing in between.

Although it only has a 4" lip (toe plate) it handled a 40" deep item with ease. Once the included belt was on it I had complete control and did not need anyone to shove it towards me to tilt it. The belt (strap) is adjustable up or down by about 15". From about 24" to 39" above the toe plate. You can move it into the different groves on the rod it is attached to in the back of the unit for taller or smaller items then take out almost all the slack in the belt and turn the crank half a turn and you are ready to go. One problem is that although it will stand by itself on a hardwood floor, on a medium pile carpet it tips over and will not stand by itself. So keep that in mind after you release any item from the belt, if you are on a carpeted floor.
