I'm super happy with this cart. It was so easy to unfold it, remove the little plastic protectors on the wheel area, insert the wheels, and pop on the bag. I didn't even hurt myself or struggle.
It is so easy to drag around or maneuver. There's no resistance at all. It's also a nice height, although I am on the short side so if you're over 6' you might feel a little awkward with it.
Here in NYC I use the subway and bus to get around and I've just been toughing it out with a backpack and eco bag for the past five years. It ends up being multiple trips a week to the supermarket as I can't bear too much weight. I finally decided enough was enough and I'm really glad I didn't buy the cheapest cart at the local bodega or 99 cent store. The metal is so thin on those? Their handles are not nice, they don't fold up small, they're heavier but rickety, there's no bag usually (if there is it's thin af) and their wheels are so slim and wobbly. For $30+!
I was also eyeing the triple wheeled 'stair climber' but I don't regret choosing this model. It climbs steps just fine. :>
It has sturdy feeling parts and doesn't wobble or rattle. It also doesn't slide once it has been set down. It's MUCH lighter than I was expecting and it's foldable. It'd probably fit in a bigger backpack. Doesn't take up too much space even when standing upright. The handle is so nice and it's easy to wipe the cart down. I also like that, if I bought bungee cords to keep stuff in place, I can also use it as a dolly. The wheels are nice and round so they won't get stuck on grates or sand and they're removable so I can clean them anytime! And I can even hang stuff from the metal bar below the handle if I wanted to.
Plus it wasn't even the priciest option but I think it'd easily accommodate a couple of one gallon jugs and a layer of cans with room to spare for boxes and bread.
To put it into perspective: a paper bag, from Whole Foods/Trader Joe's/Hmart, fits perfectly inside with about 5 inches of space until the top of the bag (not including handles of the paper bag) so if you're looking for more than that I'd size up. I don't need a bigger one so I'm quite content with it. I just put everything heavy in it and the light stuff I can put into my backpack/hand carry.
Apart from the main compartment there are four zippered pockets that I rarely use but appreciate, a net pocket on the left, and a taller pocket on the right that is perfect for my umbrella.
There were a couple of straps that seemed useless (there's a velcro strap at the very top of the bag but it doesn't reach anything so I'm not sure what it's for? I simply left it as it was. There's also an adjustable strap if you want to carry the bag by itself and I just tucked that into the back, it rests just above the back pocket so no its no bother.) Just wanted to mention it.
I only took off a star as my bag has minor defects. A small hole in the side. The lining has creased, maybe from storage or maybe a quality defect, and it is torn on the inside on the upper sides of my bag. Sideways velcro on one strap. Nothing too big to send it back but still annoying that my bag isn't perfect. :p
All in all, I'd HIGHLY recommend this cart.

THE CONS:1) The fabric bag hangs over the edge of the platform and the wheels rubbed on it, causing it to wear a hole in it, so I had to duct tape it. I have to keep changing out the duct tape. I was unaware of this for a while. Also, it was always only on one side, even if I put the heaviest items on the opposite side. A better design for this would be if the platform extended out over the wheels.2) The little black things you see on the front stand area (where no wheels are present) kept coming off. They're just snapped into a very shallow hole in the metal. I reattached them a few times and then I lost first one, and then the other. I didn't notice when either of them came off, so I had to rig it. I duct-taped a piece of foam that's much like the type used in pool noodles onto the pole.3) It looks like my last pic may not have come out well. I can't look at it full-sized until I'm done posting this. As I type this, though, it looks like the area I'm trying to show has wavy lines. Anyway, it came unstitched & I had to stitch it again. I used heavy-duty, waxed thread, so it's held up. This is the flap that loops over the first crossbar, holding it down on top with velcro at the back...so it's very important. I'm hoping the velcro holds up!4) This didn't bother me much: Several of the metal grommets that cover the holes which the drawstring-type cord loops through have just simply ripped loose. They're still on the cord, of course. They just move around freely on it, if you understand. This doesn't affect its use right now, but the holes may eventually rip open more.5) It IS NOT weatherproof as they say. Everything in the main compartment gets wet, as does anything in the top & bottom flap pockets.6) I don't know why they say there are 7 compartments. Even if they count the large main bag as a "compartment", there are 6.7) The inside of it is coated with something that flakes off all over what's inside. On a sunny day, while looking down inside the bag, I noticed that there was light shining through in areas where a lot of it flaked off.THE PROS:1) I bought this in January 2020 for about $42.00 (which includes taxes), and I'm still using it, so I guess I got my money's worth. (although the hole under the bag from the wheel started pretty early on)2) I mostly use this to get some groceries home from the store on the bus. It's narrow enough to stay out of the aisle where people need to get past me when I'm sitting at the front of the bus on the sideways-facing seats. It can also fit behind a forward-facing seat if it's not stuffed too much. So, that's a plus...since I don't like to be in the way of people and also because the front sideways seats are to be offered to the elderly and the disabled. I honor that. in addition, at the front is where the sideways seats and the first forward-facing seat next to it, are put up to make room for a wheelchair to be strapped in. So, it's nice that this can fit behind the other seats.3) When lighter items are loaded inside on the top, the drawstring can hold them in.4) I like the higher side pocket for carrying a compact umbrella. (I rarely use the net pocket on the opposite side as I think it's too short and the top is rather loose. It won't snap tight to the bag for keeping anything secure)5) I like carrying my house key, bus pass, and cell phone in the pocket located on the top flap. Very convenient.6) The pocket on the back is only used for thin things like paper because it's extremely tight to the bag. This "compartment" is more like a slit with a zipper.Well, that's about it. I hope this helped someone. I also hope the manufacturer sees this review and fixes the things that need to be addressed.
