Tools and Hardware Reviews of Allsop 28162 Wheel Easy LE Folding Yard Cart
Customer Review: Very useful, but a few design and materials problems
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't have a lot of space, so from that perspective this is a fantastic product -- it can fit into a very small space, and the materials are so light that it can be easily hung on any convenient hook or rack.
So far it seems plenty capable as well. It handles rock and sod easily; I've probably hauled 100 pound loads, which is less than its stated capacity, but still seems pretty impressive for a canvas wheelbarrow. The lie-flat feature is really handy when hauling heavy things, since you don't have to lift them into the bed.
I have two major complaints, one with the design and one with the materials.
Design Issue: the metal rods that form the sides and handles are attached to the wheel assembly with pins. There are four slots and four pins, but only two are supposed to be engaged at any one time depending on whether it's in use or in storage. I'm sure that description makes no sense, and that's because neither does the procedure. Everyone I've lent the wheelbarrow to has arranged the pins incorrectly, in a configuration that the instructions warn in all caps CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT.
Related Materials Issue: the wheel assembly -- which gets a lot of use since pins are inserted and removed every time the wheelbarrow is used -- is plastic. The assembly includes brackets that hold the pins when they aren't in use -- one of these has already broken after just one weekend of use. I have little doubt that this will be the first piece to fail, and that it will fail long before any other part of the unit does. If they'd spent an extra five dollars to make this piece out of metal, the whole unit would be about three times as durable. Very shortsighted design.
Description of Allsop 28162 Wheel Easy LE Folding Yard Cart
Save your back from the strain of garden chores with Allsop?s innovative wheelbarrow. Say goodbye to heavy, unwieldy metal basins. The lightweight WheelEasy uses fabric canvas to transport waste, and folds for compact storage. Its ground-flush loading design further lessens lifting chores by raking leaves or uprooted weeds straight from the ground into the basin. Foam-rubber handles keep hands comfortable, while preventing them from slipping in damp conditions.The wheelbarrow?s fabric surface is made from sturdy, 1000-point, denier nylon coated with vinyl--easy-to-clean with a hose or wet rag. UV-resistant, industrial-strength seams support up to 150 pounds of bark or sod in the 3-cubic-foot basin. Heavy-duty steel and a protective powder-coating help handles endure harsh weather. Designed for even weight distribution, Allsop?s basin also provides better balance and comfort than its metal counterparts. The WheelEasy?s single, pneumatic rubber tire traverses gardens and sidewalks with ease.
Allsop offers replacements for defective products with receipt. When shipped, this wheelbarrow measures 52 by 5 by 11 inches and weighs 12 pounds.--Jessica Reuling
