I did not see myself ever spending this much on a cart, but I’m glad I did! I walk to everything in my neighborhood (including the laundromat) and groceries and laundry can get heavy. I never liked those metal carts because they’re so rattly and loud and don’t seem to hold all that much. This is a huge upgrade. No rattles, smooth gliding wheels, large capacity, and thoughtful details like the rain cover and the handles to help you carry the cart up and down stairs. Folds and unfolds easily and handles uneven city sidewalks fairly well (you will still have to tip up your wheels a bit to get over bigger bumps). My one complaint would be that it would be nice if the handles could be extended since they are a little bit short. I’m 5’7 and the height is OK… but I’d probably want them a tiny bit higher if I had the option. I’m really happy with my fancy cart and would recommend it to anyone willing to spend a little bit more for a big upgrade.
