dbest productsTrolley Dolly Stair Climber, Red Grocery Foldable Cart Condo Apartment

At first this had a strong smell, but I left it in the basement for a week and the smell went away. Works really great! Can pack a lot of items (e.g., groceries, computer, purse, bottled water jugs, etc) into the cart and then pull it up the stairwell with more ease than I thought. The cart material is very sturdy. The wheel system works well with the carpeted steps, which are in different shapes and sizes due to the "U" shape stairwell. I use it mostly for transporting items up the steps vs down. Is harder for me physically to use for going down the steps if it has heavy items. The padded handle is a very nice touch. It has several nice features. It also rolls easily across the floor and stands easily full or empty. It has never tipped over or leaned in any direction. On its own, it is surprisingly light weight. It handles easily. I use it inside of the house only, so I cannot speak to outside use. I would recommend this product to someone who is mobile and has the strength to pull the cart up the steps when it is full. The wheel design keeps it from pulling away from you as you are going up the steps so that is not a problem, but it does take some effort to pull the cart up from step to step.If there was ONE improvement I would recommend, that would be for the handles to be longer. The handles are almost too short, requiring more bending forward when pulling it up the steps. If the handles were adjustable to allow a couple more length, it would provide greater ease of use.

I'm moving MYSELF, and from a massive house, to a tiny one I'm sharing. Most of my stuff will be in the basement, or my bedroom, which is up a straight, narrow flight of stairs. Standard stair risers (height) are 8", and these are probably 9", with carpet and padding. This trolly does fine on them.I have numerous issues that make stairs difficult, so lifting items up, or down, is a real challenge. I have osteoarthritis, need knee surgery, have collapsed lower lumbar, and I've had rotator cuff surgery on one shoulder, with the other being beyond repair, to name a few. So, the carrying of books, clothes, sewing studio stuff up, and paints, tools and such down, is daunting, to say the least.I have friends who will help, but being able to move smaller things is helping me not use up my help list, for big items, like furniture! Also, for groceries, this will be fantastic.Putting it together was a bit of a challenge, probably due to the late hour I tried! I pulled a pin out, when putting the wheels on, but it snapped back. Pro tip: Put the longer smooth side of the wheels pin in first...you'll see what I mean when you open up the package.I did assemble it incorrectly, the first time, but it was easy enough to reassemble. I got a "used" one, which may be why there were no instructions, but I think your average bear can do it, eventually!The bar is far too low for the stairs, I found. But, the bag has a long, adjustable strap, which I used to haul a pretty heavy load up, and used my other hand on the rail. If I feel there are no other things to fix in the world, I might drill holes and bolt in a longer handle...but I doubt it.As I paid $20 less, because it was used, I absolutely think it was worth any penny. If I'd paid full price, I'd still say to buy it!

In the infomercial these things look like they have a little motor on theM, but in reality they need one. It's actually a really cool dolly! Works great! Inside stairs or curb? YaSs! Outside stairs for apartments? Not so much. If the steps have a back on them it works. If there's no back like most apartments then it doesn't work as good but still helps a bunch. It's just heavier. They almost get stuck in the gaps of the steps. If they had a little electric scooter motor or something that would take most of the weight out and be so awesome. They're smooth and roll quietly on flat surfaces too.

Pros: Durable frame and wheels, convenient, easy to use, great for people (like me) with health issues who can't carry much and can't use a backpack, no need for grocery bags, holds a lot.Cons: Can be loud when going up steps in a stairwell, confuses some grocery baggers, the drawstring area of the bag breaks down after about a year.I bought a Trolley Dolly Stair Climber, Black Grocery Foldable Cart on Amazon in September 2017. Today is February 5, 2019. My family has used the trolley at least three times a week, every week, in that time. We live near a grocery store and use it to carry groceries home and up the stairs to our second-floor apartment. It's worked wonderfully well for that purpose, and I've had many people stop and ask where I got the Trolley Dolly, as they wanted one, too.I've used the Trolley Dolly to carry large boxes of cat food and cat litter, as well as heavy loads of canned foods, bottled juices and cartons of milk, in all weather - rain, snow, summer heat, day and night. It travels well over pavement, curbs, and up stairs. I had surgery last summer and am not in good physical condition, so sometimes I use the elevator when the load is heavy, but my teenage daughters have no problem taking a full Trolley Dolly up the stairs.I am 5' 9" and the Trolley Dolly handle is high and comfortable for me. My husband is 6' 1" and he feels the handle is a bit low, but it's still comfortable for him to use, even with his back problems.The Trolley Dolly will hold several grocery bags worth of items, if packed well, though of course I don't actually use grocery bags any longer, the cashiers and baggers just put everything directly into the trolley. But I think it's worth mentioning that the trolley confuses a lot of grocery store employees. I've had baggers try to fill it and then put it into my grocery cart, and I have to explain that I have health issues and can't lift the full Trolley Dolly out of a grocery cart, so please don't put it in there. I've also had to ask could they please put the heavy things in the bottom and the light things on top, not the milk on top of the potato chips (this should be a no-brainer but...!). Of course if you're packing it yourself it's not a problem but my local stores have baggers who insist on doing it for me. I think the cashiers get timed or something, so they want to rush you out asap.While shopping, I slide the top of the Trolley Dolly in between the handle you'd hold to push the grocery cart and the seat where you'd put a small child. Then I rest the wheels of the Trolley Dolly on the underneath shelf of the grocery cart (that area below the main basket, where you'd put the big bag of dog food or giant pack of TP, right?). The Trolley Dolly fits there perfectly, without taking up any grocery cart space at all, so it's not in my way while shopping. I suppose you could even fold it up and lay it in that underneath area, but I'm not able to bend down and put it there or pull it back out, so I don't do that.All of the photos were taken today, so this is the condition of my Trolley Dolly after about 70 weeks / 16 months of regular use. The frame, handle and wheels are all still in great shape, and the exterior of the bag looks good. It's the interior of the bag, particularly around the drawstring, where it breaks down. I couldn't find any on Amazon, but there are replacement bags available on the company's website.
