Review on 🔭 Leeyoung Portable Telescoping Aluminum Capacity by Jim Bethea

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made little trolley - perfect for use around the house!

NOTE: Free Vine item. A cart is one of those things you don't need around the house...until you do it yourself. I have had the experience a number of times over the years that I wish I had a car but got by without it. When I saw that this car was available from Vine, I immediately ordered it. This is an amazing device: solid, well made, easy to use and takes up little space in my garage. Much higher quality than I expected! THE GOOD: - Everything about this cart feels well constructed. It's a little heavy, but the aluminum frame certainly makes it lighter, albeit less heavy, than other carts I've used in the past. Key "hold points" are encased in a nice thick foam that feels firmly attached to the aluminum frame and is comfortable to grip. The wheels feel solid and roll well. The actual base of the cart is quite large - big enough to fit fairly large boxes on the floor without making things too unstable. The height adjustment is easy, but does not have a large adjustment range. Overall this thing is solidly built - I'm not worried about its ability to last quite a while or perform well for anything I might use it for around the home. - There are multiple customization options. The height is adjustable, although there only seem to be two settings (all the way up or all the way down). I don't really care - the "Full On" setting is comfortable to use - although it would be nice if there was more room for adjustment here, especially if you have a long day with heavy traffic ahead of you. There are two handles on the top of the truck that can be folded out to a different grip point if needed. All of these adjustments—and folding the entire cart for storage—are easy to make. When unfolded, it feels sturdy and solid.- If aesthetics are important to you, I think this trolley looks quite elegant. I don't particularly like lime green accents, but whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Otherwise she looks pretty nice. In general, the trolley is easy and convenient to use. It's a little big, but it's also quite agile. I wish there was a stronger 'footrest' at the very bottom of the cart to make it easier to tip back, but it works well enough as designed. It would also be nice if the little "lip" at the base had some sort of protective coating in case you use it barefoot. I don't know why you would want that, but the lip is a bit sharp anyway and I definitely wouldn't want to put a lot of weight on it. Apart from these small problems everything works great. BAD: Nothing! This thing is amazing - I'm more than happy with it. For less than $100, it's surprisingly well built and I expect it to last a while. It's probably not heavy enough for people who need it for professional work, but it's fine for me for home use. Highly recommended - buy without reservation!
