Whitmor Extra Large Utility Foldable Shopping Cart with Wheels, 100 Lb Capacity, Heavy Duty Grocery Cart with Steel Frame, Foam Handle, Rolling Collapsible Utility Trolley for Grocery, Laundry, Black

I'm old, living in a retirement community, and can no longer drive, so I walk to the nearby supermarket a couple times a week. (Which also gets me some exercise.) Trying to carry several bags and use a cane, too, just doesn't work, though. I researched carts of this sort extensively and finally decided n this one because of user reviews and several published "best of . . ." reviews online.It took e less than a minute to put together, it handles easily because of the large wheels, and it's not heavy. Some carts are considerably bigger, but this one is more than sufficient for my needs, pulling it behind me to and from the store. It folds up easily and tucks in the coat closet, with a plastic hook to hold it closed. I'm very happy with it.

Shopping cart is great. Relatives use it when going to the nearby supermarket and it works perfectly for them. Small and foldable so it doesn't take up too much space. Pretty sturdy but lightweight enough where it's not a problem for older folks.

First of all the unit is meticulously finished. The gloss black finish is very attractive. The cushioned full-width handlebar grip is very comfortable. It holds a lot. I loaded it to the top with groceries comprised mostly of canned goods, dairy products, frozen goods, veggie lunch meats, fruits/vegetables, and canned sparkling water. In other words, there was a great deal of liquid weight. There were only two lightweight objects: A bag of corn tortilla chips and a box of coffee filters. This was a HEAVY load.Rolling from my carport space to my stairway was very smooth and easy. I have 13 steps from the base of the stairs to my second-floor condo door. This would be the real test, getting up the steps. The cart was able to negotiate the steps by pulling it a bit upward and forward, step by step, while it was behind me. I did take my time as it could have easily toppled backward without a firm grip on the handlebar. I got all the items up in one pass which would easily have taken me around four-six trips without the cart.One word of caution. It is NOT 40.1" tall as indicated in the specs. It is 41" from the bottom of the wheel to the top of the handle [see pictures 1 and 2.] BUT when the cart is collapsed, the length increases to 45.5" [see pictures 3 and 4.] Collapsed it wouldn't fit into my car's trunk, it was simply too long placed lengthwise or sideways. So, I put the collapsed cart in my car's back seat. [If not collapsed it might fit provided there is adequate height in the trunk to accommodate it, but that could infringe on space to put groceries after shopping.]For some, the assembly may be a bit challenging. The wheels get anchored to the axles with cotter pins at the end. There are two different types of pins, one type for the front, another for the rear with different anchoring methods for each. The pins are there to prevent the wheels from spinning off the ends of the axles while moving. the pins themselves are not weight-bearing. Getting the pins inserted in the tiny axle anchoring holes was a bit tricky for both front and rear. Then, fully engaging the pins to lock by pressing in for the rear and bending the ends for the front was also a bit tricky.

This utility cart has saved my groceries shopping and laundry days! I live in an apartment, so it's hard to carry a lot of things uo to my floor. After I bought this cart it's been much easier! It's very easy to assemble and the material seems very durable!

For a lightweight cart, this is very sturdy. The wheels are extra big, even the front two, so the cart moves along smoothly even over irregular sidewalk bumps.Best thing I didn’t expect is there is a clip on it for fastening the cart in its folded up position. So when getting onto a city bus or for storage it will stay folded up.

This product irritated me enough to write a review. I was looking forward to getting this cart to help me schlep laundry and groceries around. I have another wagon but it is bigger and not always convenient to use and I wanted something smaller. The cart seems pretty sturdy and folds to be relatively compact. My main issue is with front wheel assembly. The back wheels were slightly fiddly but only took a few minutes to put on. The front wheels were fussier but I got everything done until the last step, where you put the pins in the axel that hold the wheels on. I tried for an embarrassing amount of time before giving up. You need the pins because the wheels are otherwise only held on by tension and they’ll pop out and send parts flying. I managed to get them in enough so that the wheels will stay on but the axels won’t rotate. I can still use the cart on its back wheels so it will still do the job. The cart would be much better if the front wheels assembly was similar to the back wheels. It’s too much of a hassle to return so I’ll make it work. Other people managed to figure it out so you may have better luck.

perfectly balanced but small , easy to handle for a senior

I bring groceries to my brother in a nursing home often and I always use this cart. It’s lightweight, very durable, and has plenty of room for the groceries. It fits perfectly in the back of my SUV. I have back problems and I can lift this in and out of my car with no strain or pain.
