Product Description

Color: Green

The miniature transformation giant is what the manufacturer calls this. Most shopping trolleys take up a lot of space and storage, especially for city dwellers with small living spaces. However a trolley is practical and this one here is the perfect solution to a dilemma. The storage is built in. It can be folded three times on itself and stowed away in its own outside pocket. This is possible by means of the special design of the wheels which can be flattened thanks to a spring mechanism. So your large shopping assistant turns into a small package neatly stowable anywhere. Made in Germany.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, April 28, 2009

This is an excellent product. I recently purchased one for a trip abroad. I was surprised initially at how tall it was but it turned out ideal for using in London. It is well made and did not drag on the ground, as in a previous review. I am 5' 7" and the only time it did drag was when my son used it as he was not tall enough to keep it upright. It actually has sturdy plastic protection on the edge so the fabric does not damage. Fabric is very sturdy, I was expecting it to be lightweight like their fold-up shoppers. I chose the art deco print and it looked great and modern!
Would recommend using.
Excellent customer service as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk Broke on 2nd Use, January 18, 2010

I should have paid more attention to the bad reviews. I love the design, but the second time I took this shopping, one of the wheels fell off. I had to lug my groceries home as best I could... awkward, arrgh! On closer inspection, it seems that the rivets used to attach the wheel assemblies are totally inadequate. They simply pull out of the assembly. Then the corner of one of the plastic wheel assemblies broke, so not really repairable. I saw that, by only the SECOND use, most of the rivet fasteners had either pulled out, or were in the process of doing so. This could so easily have been designed properly, but it is not. Don't waste your money, please.

It's not really worth it to me to spend the time effort etc. to mail this piece of junk back to the vendor. But as poor reviews have been on her for quite a while, they are being VERY irresponsible selling this item.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bag that's only good for garbage, December 2, 2008

By 

PainMaestro "WinoFino" (Chicago, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reisenthel Collapsible Foldable wheeled trolley shopping cart Bag German design (Kitchen)

On first look, this product looks great- it folds into a compact briefcase-looking bag to carry to the store, and unfolds relatively easily into the trolley you see. It then proceeds to rip itself a new one with your first use, ripping itself newer and bigger ones the more you use it.

Basically, the design is flawed. They allowed the bag to extend forward (or rearward, depending on your view) over the wheelbase so that when it tips with being wheeled, the bag drags on the ground. This isn't Kevlar, so it rips easily as it drags on pavement. Basically, after 2 uses, it's in a bag itself, being hauled out to the garbage.

Combined with a handle that is great if you're 5' tall or shorter, this item, while in principle a good idea, has a design worthy of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Avoid at all costs.
