Easy Wheels Shopping Cart Mini-A, Red

When this sweet, mini Easy Wheels cart arrived it was missing one of the axles. I truly think it was lost in transit, but I emailed the company expecting the usual run-around. Narita Trading Company immediately began a process to send the missing part requesting only proof that I had purchased it at Amazon. They were as good as their word, and they expedited the mailing of the needed part.It was well worth the wait for the cart! It is just the right size, folds to fit in my car, and is sturdy beyond imagination. Directions are clear, and I was able to assemble the cart myself. I plan to order another to keep in my office to I can transport heavy files and books from one place to another. I've had lots of "laundry" carts in the past, but the Easy Wheels brand is the absolute best! Buy one because you'll find all kinds of uses for it.

Having moved into an apt. for the first time ever, my mom (75) needed some form of package transport from the parking spot to her apt. At the suggestion of the apt. manager, I purchased the "Easy Wheels/Mini". It is perfect - with the exception of the smell, which others noted (also why I removed one star...It hit me as I opened the box, and still smells up the car when left in overnight; living in a warmer climate doesn't help with that, either. I thought I might have solved the problem by wiping the wheels and non-metal parts w/ alcohol at the "git-go", but didn't help for long.) NONETHELESS...the "mini" is plenty big for what my mom needs - the large size is just TOO big. The construction seems to be sturdy enough and we have hauled a cart full of groceries and rather heavy boxes on top w/ no problem; just tilt back and use the rear wheels and you're good to go. The cart pushes or pulls easily and folds/stores quite well - fits nicely behind a door or lays flat in her little SUV. Assembly was easy enough - didn't really need any tools; I do intend to keep an eye on the cotter pins and replace if necessary - they were quite malleable, so concerned re: wear/tear. [NOTE: if you order the liner for this cart, it is nice, inexpensive, and folds over to velcro shut - BUT it is a large one; this is an advantage, though if you have "stuff" piled high - you can just pull the liner over it all and it stays in place.] Overall - worth the $$$. [I confess, I ordered this one at a reduced price (a little over $20), probably because it had been returned - just to see if this was what would work. I might go for another brand if I were paying full price. READ THE REVIEWS!]

Makes shopping so much easier. I do not have to carry individual bags. So easy to lift into car trunk

Outer box and inner box had holes, plastic covering was ripped and one of the larger wheels was disfigured, as if it had been melted! Certainly would not have worked. Returned it immediately and received full credit. Have to say all the years with Amazon this is only the second item I had to return and there was no problem. Will continue to shop at Amazon, very satisfied with your service.

I purchased this cart for my mother. She needed something to use when she walked to the store to pick up groceries, dry cleaning, etc., but didn't want a huge cart. This on is perfect. The quality is excellent! Sturdy, durable, black color and serves the purpose. The two smaller wheels came affixed already. It literally took 30 seconds to attach the two larger wheels. When collapsed, it can easily be stored in a closet, under a bed, in a corner, or in your car trunk. And there's a little clip attached on the front of the cart so you can attach it to the back when closed so it remains closed.I would definitely recommend purchasing the Easy Wheels Mini Cart!

The instruction to assemble are not written for 80-year-old eyes to see. I'm still trying to hire someone to assemble it.

This broke on my very first shopping trip. I was waiting in line in the hell that is Whole Foods and I noticed my back wheel had fallen off. Luckily, I was able to find the hardware laying nearby and was somehow able to reattach it despite all the angry people tripping over me. After I few more steps in line, the whole front axel fell off! I threw it in my bag and decided to just roll the cart on its back wheels. I think the problem is that the pieces used to fasten the wheels are flimsy pins. Also, since there is a spring next to the wheel, the pin isn't strong enough to withstand the tension. My fiance is going to go to the hardware store and buy some parts that will hold the wheels in place a lot better. At this point, I can't send it back, so I am going to try to make it work.

I already owned a larger cart I'd bought years ago, but wanted something small I could easily take on the bus. This cart fit the bill.The only assembly was putting on the wheels. The instructions call for pliers and a hammer, but I didn't need the hammer and don't see where one would be needed.When I took it on its trial run to the health food store, it was easy to take onto the bus. In fact, folded up, I was able to carry the cart like a shoulder purse, as the handle fits right over my shoulder. Once in the store, at first I worried where I'd put it while I used store cart. It took up too much space to put it in store cart. But then I realized it perfectly fit in the rack beneath the store cart's basket. So with the Mini-A cart out of the way until I needed it, shopping was a breeze.One reviewer had said the cart is hard to turn. This is true of the majority of these kinds of carts, so I don't hold that against this Mini-A cart. As I'm used to my bigger cart, this one actually was easier to turn: I can "pop a wheelie" and let the back wheels steer, while front wheels are lifted off the ground.Two minor issues I do have (obviously because it's made in China) is the black handle grip is very light plastic and moves up and down on the handle while it's being steered. I think some black tape on each end of the grip would hold it in place. Also, the night I put this together, I noticed a very strong...I don't know...paint?? smell coming from it. I've had it awhile now, so the smell is diminishing. (As I live in a studio, it's not far from my sofa bed, so I can't help noticing it.)Other than that, it's a really good cart.
