Trolley Dolly

It’s working out well. So far it has transported library books and groceries both with no problems. Very sturdy and easy to set up. There were some end caps that I still haven’t figured out where they go but everything else is fine. It rolls smoothly and can handle a few steps and the curb without any issues. It folds up nicely to store in a closet between uses and is not heavy or cumbersome when empty. I would like to make a suggestion for a future improvement, and that is to have some kind of grab handle on the front of the bag. This would make it easier for those occasions when you need to lift the trolley for whatever reason. I confess I don’t know how that could be accomplished so that it would hold up over time, but it would be a good addition. Although I haven’t yet made use of it, I also like that the trolley can be used independently of the bag.

Really nicely balanced and easy to pull (or turn it around and push). Large capacity. I use it almost every day. The big wheels go over gravel and bumpy fields with ease. Also easy for me to lift it and lay it in the back of my car fully loaded, nothing falls out. Many times I have slipped off the cloth bag and just used it as a small open dolly to take larger items that don't fit into the cloth bag. Even heavy packages or a filled propane tank. It's effortless to pull it along. The ONLY fault I've found after nearly 3 months of hard use is the velcro'd flap at the top-back of the cloth bag that attaches the bag to the frame started pulling apart at the stiches. Some of this is due to my hard use -- just plopping heavy things into the bag while it was semi-suspended by the flap, thereby constantly stressing the stitching. You could also consider that a design flaw as the bottom of the bag SHOULD sit completely on the bottom plate while still allowing the the flap to be velcro'd to the bar without pulling the bag up into the air. But it's a minor flaw. The solution... just undo the flap and don't use it. That's what I did and it works fine without using the flap, the bag still stays on the frame where it should be. Or, don't be rough... put your items into the bag gently!

This is a great product. It’s light enough to carry up and down stairs and Great to take to the market.

I'm a bit late in reviewing but the benefit about my tardiness is this review speaks to how this product has held up through months of regular use, nearly a year after purchase. The Cart: Initially, upon receiving the Trolley Dolly, I was impressed with the cart itself - easy to assemble, sturdy, and lightweight. Those last two positives are greatly important to me. I live in urban New England where many older sidewalks are like rollercoasters due to tree roots and frost heaves lifting them up and down for decades. I needed a frame that wouldn't bend or snap at the sight of a gnarly old oak root strangling the sidewalk. I also needed hefty wheels that could handle these menacing sidewalks and roll over the occasional escaping tree root. This cart wonderfully does all of that! As for the lightweight part - I take this cart on public transportation often and with the frame itself being as light as it is, I'm able to easily lift it up onto busses; on the commuter rail, it's easy to hop across the gaps between elevated platforms and the train cars; and it's manageable getting it up and down stairs. (Though when packed full, it can be a pain but lugging anything up stairs can be a pain, with or without a cart.) Also, bonus -- we had a nor'easter blow through last week and I can now testify to this cart being able to roll wonderfully through up to 4 inches of snow. Bit more than that and you have to give it a little assist. No problem! Frankly, if I needed to transport items through snow deeper than that, I'd be using a sled. The Bag: The bag...the bag had a few minor issues upon arrival. The fabric itself is as the lising says - heavy duty, weatherproof. Can't argue with that. However, there were issues with the stitching along some of the seams - in several places, it was loose and poorly sewn. On the bottom,l of the bag, two of the box corner seams weren't sewn completely, leaving 1/4" gaps right on the corners. Seeing this, I just shrugged and figured that I can put my sewing skills to use and fix those seams right up. Issues that could be improved but are navigable as is...or issues caused by user, not poor design: -- The Flap -- Being weatherproof and heavy duty, the material is stiff and as such, the top flap doesn't always stay stuck via the Velcro, especially if the bag isn't fully packed and one is using the drawstring to cinch it at the top. (Cinching it also causes the connecting piece of Velcro to disappear into stiff folds that make it impossible to secure the top flap fully.) I just simply let the top flap sit on top (if packed full) or hang over the bag (if not full and/or cinching it). I've used the cart when it's been windy with 50mph+ gusts and haven't had any issues with the flap. It has no effect on how I personally use the cart or on any of my adventures I bring it along on. -- The Other Flap -- There's a small flap of material sewn to the top of the bag, just behind the larger closure flap. This flap has Velcro and is intended to be secured over the thin horizontal aluminum bar near the curve of the cart's foam handle. This flap, when secured, aids the bag in remaining upright and from leaning forward. Pretty good idea, for the most part it works wonderfully. However, if you happen to be toting a bit of a heavier load or the bag is packed to the top, this flap tends to come undone. Forcing it to remain in place, the flap almost seems to threaten to rip off the bag itself. I'm probably going to alter this and add stronger Velcro to this piece as well as possibly lengthen the flap so there's an option to loosen it when the bag is packed heavier or more fully. -- The Frame -- Before I tested this cart through snow last week, it's only ever been used in dry conditions. I do not use the cart when it's raining as I do not want to risk my things being ruined. But I noticed there's already some rust occurring along the bottom of the bar that rests on the ground when the cart is not being rolled. That was a little surprising given how I haven't had the cart even a year yet and it's only been used in wet conditions once. So, bummer to the quick oxidation of the frame...but this is something I can mitigate with a can of Rust-oleum,or even duct tape applied in a classy style. Also, one design weakness is how close to the wheels the rear of the bag sits. Sometimes, the back corners of the bag rest directly on top of the wheels. As you can guess, turning wheels plus fabric in constant contact leads to friction wear on the bag. One of the corners of my bag already has a hole worn through it due to the wheel rubbing against it while wheeling the cart. Currently looking into adding some sort of fenders for the wheels to avoid contact with the bag or a utility cloth cover for the bottom half so the bag itself isn't ruined more by the wheels. -- The Physics -- Yes, once in awhile the cart will twist a bit and if you don't catch it, it will fall over. But! Honestly, every time it's done this to me, it's because I was in a hurry, zooming along while pulling it behind me, and the angle of pulling it behind me plus speed caused the cart to twist and go off kilter. Or if I take a 90⁰ turn too rapidly. Not the cart's issue or the manufacturer - just me apparently trying to defy the most basic laws of physics. Some reviews say weight distribution affects this - I personally haven't noticed with my cart whether how I've packed it contributed to it twisting while in transit. The way the bag is designed with a stiff and squared off bottom as well as only about a 144" or so surface area to pack items horizontally, it's a bit difficult to pack it in a manner where weight distribution would be so far off as to cause the cart to twist. The only instance of uneven weight distribution that can exist when using the cart within it's operational capabilities is the difference in weight between the frame and the bag when it's loaded. Sitting a loaded bag that weighs significantly more than the lightweight dolly is going to create an oddly placed center of gravity that's higher off the ground and therefore more susceptible to silly things happening. Don't be a speedster like me, roll the cart responsibly, pack it responsibly, and for the most part, it'll serve you well with minimal (or no) shenanigans. -- The End (finally!) -- Overall, I absolutely love this cart! I love the lightweight frame, the beefy wheels, the fact that it can fold up and stow away easily... I love that by design it has a bag - things I put in it aren't escaping through gaps like those that are in standard wire frame shopping carts. I love the available color options - my cart is purple and it cheers me up. Makes long treks on the MBTA less depressing. Does it have some issues? Yes. (But who or what doesn't?) What's perfect for one isn't going to be perfect for all, so you just gotta find the next best thing and make it your own. This cart is the closest to perfect for my needs, my abilities, and my habits. If not for the poor stitching on the bag, the frame already beginning to rust, and the design flaw causing the wheels to rub holes in the bag, I'd have given 5 stars. I only deducted one star for those issues because with some fixing and modifications to mitigate these issues, the cart is still 5 star usable for me.

I was surprised how lightweight the unit is and It folds up compactly. The Trolley holds my laundry baskets so I don’t have to worry about carrying them. I don’t often use the nice bag that comes with it. I have bigger loads to move. The bag is great for smaller things and comes off for other uses as well. The Trolley Dolly is easy to maneuver. I used it to move boxes when I moved into a new apartment. Because I sat wider based boxes on it I use a piece of wood to enlarge the base. There’s less slippage this way. I highly recommend the company think about enlarging the base plate that your stuff sits on. The price was a good value to me. I’m curious about how long the wheels will last since I use the cart often to lug heavy laundry and other stuff. Im wondering if the company sells replacement wheels when needed. This product has made my life easier especially since I’m not as young as I once was. I highly recommend. 😊

There are many knock-offs now, but after 3 purchases from this company, we can't see how anything could be better than DeBest. I would really love to see them add a thin sheet of Plexiglas or other solid and suitable mterial, cut-to-size with rounded corners for the bottom. I plan to do that. The first one I bought for my daughter lasted 8 years of pulling it out of her car jam-packed with office items, heavy purse, a coffee tumbler, lunch and many et ceteras, then hauling it back to her car. All of the features listed durable are there - storage capacity, wheels, condition, sturdiness, versatility and ease of use. I discarded the bag although it was still in good condition except for the torn bottom. I am adding heavy canvas across the back to recycle it as an open dolly for moving potted plants, books or small boxes, or what have you, because the frame and wheels are still fine! I do wish they still had purple!

This is a very practical and versatile cart that has been useful in a lot of different situations. I keep it in my car so I always have it when I need it, and it has been especially helpful for grocery shopping, trips to places like the farmer’s market or nursery, and for carrying items into the house. It is easy to fold down for storage, and the design makes it simple to set up and use when needed. The removable bag adds flexibility depending on what you are carrying, whether it is larger items or smaller loose items. It rolls smoothly and helps reduce the need to carry heavy loads or multiple trips, which has been a big benefit. What I like: Very versatile for different uses Folds down compact for easy storage Helpful for reducing heavy lifting Rolls smoothly and is easy to maneuver Convenient to keep in the car Removable bag adds flexibility Things to be aware of: Works best on smooth surfaces for easiest rolling Overall: This is a very useful and convenient cart that makes everyday tasks easier. It helps reduce the need for lifting and carrying, and the foldable design makes it easy to keep on hand without taking up much space.

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.

I like how robust this trolley is - making me no longer have to restrict my fruit and veg purchases on the basis of weight. Also allows me to easily bring back multi packs. The modern design makes me delighted to take it out for an outing and I can now but things I used to get delivered such as planting compost. I love this so much that I am tempted to buy a spare as it is now an essential item for me.

Es bastante practico y resistente, los materiales se ven de buena calidad. Si aguanta el garrafón sin problemas. Las ruedas son de buen tamaño y calidad para aguantar sin problema las banquetas rusticas. La bolsa es de buen tamaño para guardar bastantes cosas, tiene múltiples bolsillos para guardar lo que quieras, también se puede usar colgada mientras usas el carrito para otras cosas más pesadas. Al doblarse queda bastante compacto para guardarlo donde quieras, el unico detalle es que al doblarlo debes sujetarlo con alguna cuerda para evitar que se abra, ya que no cuenta con un seguro que lo mantenga doblado. Otros detalles que he notado es que la barra donde se sujeta la bolsa hace algo de ruido cuando el carrito va rodando con poco peso, tambien he notado que el carrito vibra un poco al rodar (No se si sea algo del mío en particular) como si las ruedas no estuvieran parejas, puede que con el tiempo de uso este detalle mejore. A pesar de algunos detalles, sin duda es el mejor carrito de compras y diablo de carga para el hogar u oficina que puedes comprar.

Cabat très utile pour les courses et très pratique à ranger dans un placard. Un peu juste pour les courses d’une semaine pour une famille de 4 personnes. On l’utilise en mode diable aussi. Supporte des charges assez lourde (ex. 50kg)

Received it with one broken black plastic rod and one of the wheels doesn’t snap right in its place! Returned it.

Wife loves going shopping with this. No noisy wheels. Well balanced. Plenty of room inside. Bag stays where it's supposed to be. Take off the bag and you have a small sack barrow. Excellent idea. Well pleased with this purchase.
