This item is very versatile and can be stored easily to not take up space. I recommend this to anyone living in an apartment or living situation where it may be a long walk to your car. Haven't had an issue with to much weight

I got this dolly/hand truck for craft fairs, and for bringing groceries and other things from my truck to my apartment. It works really well, with a few minor problems that are not deal breakers as far as I'm concerned.
The positives: it's ridiculously easy to set up, and also simple to convert to a dolly. The wheels roll smoothly and freely over pavement; the construction feels solid and not cheap.
Flaws: The handle for the hand truck is too short for tall people, and that becomes annoying quickly. The rear wheels really CAN pinch you fingers badly if you are not careful during setup or takedown, and could especially hurt a child.
Overall,however, I'm glad I bought this product, and feel it works well for me.

I love the compact portability of it. I also love the fact that it changes from a cart to a full upright dolly. I, however, hate the wheels. They aren't that good. If in cart mode, pushing the cart (which is what I do) the wheels that would then be in front are only 1 direction and the back wheels are what turn. I understand why that is, because in the dolly mode, the wheels should be straight, however, I wish there was a release or a switch that made those wheels go either which direction. When trying to push the cart with a load of equipment, like drums, audio equipment, guitars, etc. It really isn't easy to maneuver. Granted, you figure out tricks to do it, but that shouldn't be the case. SO in most cases I pull the device, but that's more work. Hence the ok rating. I'll be looking at other carts.

This amazingly easy to switch from one position to another. Easy to control on light loads to med loads. Heavy ones, be aware going down hill of course. Rides smoothly, easy for me to carry anything now long distance without killing my back anymore than I have to with my major back pain I have. Don't forget to bend the knees. There are no locks for the wheels, be aware of that. Very light, feels little cheap but don't worry the plastic on this thing is very strong. Be aware of its weight limit.
I have used to pack a 15 foot truck to move a med size apartment of 900 sq foot, with a lot of stuff. No problem at all. FYI, try to make sure all the boxes are the same size, you can move the Cosco faster between point A to B without the Cosco shifting its weight. I am not a very strong woman at all, disabled, and this help me get the job done without breaking myself. Every one should have this, even great for taking the trash out.

The Hand truck came in a simple box and already put together. There was a lot of plastic that was all over it that you have to take off. I think that was so that it will not get scratched in delivery. When I opened it, it looks good but there were no instructions. Found out that they are printed on the hand truck itself. They are very easy to read so it was easy to change it to whatever I needed for the application. I moved a washer and a dryer with no issues. The tires were big enough to go through gravel. Over all, this is a great hand truck that folds away neatly and compactly so you can put it anywhere you want.

I used this to perform a one man moving operation and I was able to get by using it, but this is far from 'heavy duty'.
One thing to be careful of is watching out fo the collapsible wheels, if you're holding this thing the wrong way then trying to collapse it down for storage it's going to get you. This thing closed on my finger and it was purple and extremely sore for a day. Lesson learned I suppose.
The bottom tray piece is flimsy because it folds up, not their fault, it's just bound to be weaker because it's on a hinge, but if you're looking to stack something that is over 85lbs on this it may break. I was using it to move some relatively lightweight furniture and it was struggling even with the smaller items and by the end of it felt loose/limp.
Using this in cart form is odd because of the bend in the rails, it may be difficult to stack things on it. By the time I'd get something balanced on it I could have just carried it by hand.
TL;DR if you're looking to move a couple of small things, go for it. If you're going to use this for what a hand cart is normally used for, go get a real one and don't bother with this collapsible plastic one.

Gave this to my dad as a gift. He wanted to send it back but it was too expensive to do that. He did not think it was well made. I used one at work and thought it was ok. Not as compact as other companies though and a bit heavier. To each his own. Personally, I think this brand works best for carting sacks of seed or multiple small boxed items. Lots of uses but NOT fot moving appliances and large furniture....ok for file cabinets.

So far so good. Been using it for few days now. The directions on dolly not really helpful. Had to figure it out on my own. But once I did, it's a snap to open and take down. Very light weight also. Only down fall is handle kinda short when using loading dolly. I'm only 5.2, so for me to say short then that should tell u. When it's in up mode it better, but again, I'm happy so far. If anything changes I will update.

I don't know how I would have moved between apartments without this thing. Not only does it collapse into a small space, but it's about as sturdy as you would expect a dolly to be, while also capable of becoming a cart for wide loads. This thing is sturdy in any position and is well built, and transitions from each state easily and quickly. I wouldn't say this is something you'd want to buy if you plan on moving very heavy things on a regular basis, but anything under 300 pounds can be moved with this much more easily than by carrying, and because it also becomes a hand truck, it's also good for simply carrying a large number of smaller items.
The only thing I don't like about this is that in its hand truck state, there's not much in the way of flat surface so you'll need to be careful about placing small items onto it without it falling through the holes, but otherwise, this is a great dolly for regular, light to medium-weight loads.

This device is light-weight and reduces to a small size to stow it away. It handles more weight than the competitive devices I viewed when purchasing. The ability to use it as either a conventional Dolly (upright) or as a rolling cart is great! In the upright position, I used it to very easily move a 150lb+ SVS Subwoofer that was just shipped to me (it's one of the reasons I purchased this to begin with). In fact - I then used it to transport my existing Revel Sub (also well over 100+) to another room. Some items are too difficult or too risky to move without help or a device like this; and this unit solves that problem. It also helps to safeguard your item that you are moving (an expensive piece of audio equipment) or the 3 cases of wine that I moved from the front porch to my wine cellar. I was able to avoid nicking walls or corners in my home (or my knuckles negotiating heavy objects through narrow passages). I think it would be great to even take with me to transport larger items from the vehicle to a location or even to bring large items from check to car to home. In summary - the dual platform - Dolly/Cart - combined with class leading weight capacity and quality of build and value for the price purchased on Amazon have made this a fantastic purchase. No longer put off moving heavier objects around my home, driveway and to and from the vehicle.
