Green Thumb 70008 2 Wheel Poly Wheelbarrow

I LOVE this product. Pro's EASY to handle. The weight is right over the axles so you can pile the dirt high and it is still easy to move! Con's 1) Dirt is a little hard to dump versus a standard Wheelbarrow. 2) Assembly was TERRIBLE! The bolts in the pan do not line up! The trick is to assemble the frame without the bolts in place. Get the bolts into the pan first BUT DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM. Get all the rest of the bolts in their holes before you tighten ANY bolts. You will still have to flex some stuff around to get the holes lined up but it will do it with a little muscle. "Never tighten anything until everything is started" is always a very good general rule of thumb-- It will make every assembly project easier. However, it is required for this project. :) This was so hard to assemble I was going to leave a trash review but it has been hands down the best dirt-moving tool I have ever owned.

This wheelbarrow is very easy to maneuver, easy to assemble (assuming one has some assembling background and knows the basics of how things fit together), and is sturdy enough for my purposes which are basic gardening tasks. I love the fact that it is a very nice weight for a smaller sized person and can handle a large load of whatever--mulch, dirt, plants, etc. It pushes or pulls very easily and the large hard tires roll well on less than ideal surfaces (like rutted dirt). The area inside the cart is just the right capacity for my purposes. Any larger and it would be difficult for me to maneuver. I highly recommend it. That being said, it probably isn't as well suited to hauling concrete block or other rough heavy items.

The holes for the bolts tying the ‘barrow’ bowl to the frame were not aligned correctly. I had to drill new holes to make it fit. But I am very happys with this wheel barrow. I can load quite a bit and two tires my Ake it easier to move and stable for repotting plants which is mainly what I use it for. Great price. The ones at my local hardware store cost twice what this one cost. Good value if you have a drill to make your holes align.

For years I made do with the standard one-wheel wheelbarrow, a Rubbermaid. It was tippy, so if you had a full load in there, you really needed some muscle to ensure it didn't go sideways, and if you used it on a slope, there were times it would tip over with whatever you had in there. Not good. This wheelbarrow is noticeably smaller than the Rubbermaid, and the plastic is not as sturdy, BUT it has 2 wheels, which makes a huge difference in stability. To me the tradeoff is worth it. (A man might not care.) Not crazy about having to assemble it, but seems like everything is like that now and I managed to do it without too much trouble.

Update: I reached out to this company. They indicated the delivery company damaged the shipment on the first order, the second was lost. They apologized and gave me a discount on the third order. While it was late for my son’s birthday, it wasn’t their fault. They made it right. PS my son loves the cart. I ordered this while on promotion, so I was happy. Two days later my order was cancelled for no reason, so I had to reorder because it was for a birthday present for my son. As you may have guessed, it was now $149, costing $18 MORE! Today it’s on sale again for $122. Upsetting. That said, it is a strong and durable product.

So happy with this product. Love the fact that it had a wide base of support so that my heavy loads are not falling over. Also it is so easy to manuver that it doesn't hurt my back, it's light weights yet study. I highly recommend

The top comes up only to my mid knee...Im 5'5". My small Golden for comparison. This is for a kids size. Very cheap material; the axel, pins and some of the bolts were rusty. Had 14 pieces of hardware missing and wouldnt respond to Amazons email. So Amazon gave me slightly over 20.00 back. I wanted parts, not money. I can hold as much as this will carry, in my arms. Will be giving it away and buying a decent one. Buyer beware. A toy.

I liked this wheelbarrow quite well. It was not hard to assemble and it seemed well made and it was light weight so I could pick it up and dump it somewhere elevated if necessary. I bought it 4 years ago and it has worked for me, but I've had a lot of problems with the tires. They come off frequently and I keep having to replace the coiter pins or whatever they are that hold them on. That's not that big of a deal, but recently I had to haul a lot of dirt across my large yard and I realized that one tire was flat. I inflated it and it went flat again right away. There is no reason for that to happen...previous to this I'd only used the wheelbarrow about 3 times and I don't have any rocks or sharp objects in my yard...just grass! I ordered a new tube online for the wheel, but I needed to use the wheelbarrow for a project before the tube was going to come so I did and now the tire is shredded and I have to get a new tire. I don't know if that was an issue with the tire to begin with or if using it for my dirt hauling did that, but I've had a lot of trouble with these tires and I'm not happy about that. Overall I'd give this wheelbarrow 3.5 stars. Functionality is good, but tires and tire connections are not good.
