Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I did not purchase from Amazon as I so often do - but with an inexplicable price differential of a hundred bucks, I wound up getting mine from the infomercial website. (Since the time that I wrote this review I see that Amazon has adjusted their price downward so there is now no difference between the infomercial price and the Amazon price). It comes with all the accessories shown in the commercial - bag holder, bottle holder and lifting net. It does not come with a ball hitch, but you can buy them anywhere and attach them easily. Although the included instruction sheet shows a seat accessory, it does not come with this model. There are also a few other accessories available for it from the Worx website (wagon attachment, snow plow attachment and water hauler), but they are not included here. The two black triangular pieces that are in the box are packing material - they are not part of the wheelbarrow. It arrived very well packed. Assembly was about as easy as it gets. I should note that if you're looking for a commercial grade wheelbarrow this is not for you. But if you're a backyard gardener/home handyman - this puppy is outstanding. It is sturdy steel construction, but it is not intended for heavyweight use. While this has caused it to be downgraded by some reviewers, after a little thought I realized that for the intended user it is actually a plus. By designing it with a maximum lift weight of 300 lbs. (80 lbs. for some of the accessory usages) it automatically reminds me not to overdo it. Working around my yard I shouldn't be trying to move more than 300 lbs. anyway. My wife and I are both retired and this also means she can use it too - and I really don't have to worry much about her trying to lift or move too much at a time. Also, by limiting the capacity they were able to make this thing small enough that it serves its purpose as a dolly extremely well - try pushing any other wheelbarrow through your front door and you'll see what I mean - it's most likely too wide to fit easily through the door. But this will roll easily through a doorway so you can use it to move things in or out of your house. There is a very similar product called the Muletto available on Amazon and also from the Worx website. My guess is that Worx bought the rights to the Muletto, tweaked it a bit and - voila! - the Aerocart! I can't swear to it, but from the specs I see that the Aerocart is heavier than the Muletto which probably means it's a bit sturdier construction. And in reading the Muletto reviews you can see that a number of people have had problems with the Muletto's tires going flat. The Aerocart's tires are not inflatable and thus will not go flat. These are the reasons we opted for the Aerocart. This is my second Worx product, the first being the leaf blower/vacuum, which I love. They seem to produce innovative designs that are very well thought out and often quite ingenious. I love the way the whole geometry of the thing changes when you shift it from wheelbarrow to dolly, moving the center of gravity to just the right place to maximize performance - and doing it so easily and cleverly. The dolly platform automatically folds up at the end of the wheelbarrow - and when you want to use it you just stick your finger in a hole, slide about an inch and pull down and the platform locks in place. Slide back and it folds right back up again. Even the handle locks are cleverly designed. The Worx leaf blower/vac and a B&D cordless mower (which I also love!) are stored in our backyard shed, which I usually don't bother locking. When I put this together and my wife saw it, the first thing she said was, "This is going to grow legs and walk off if you don't keep it in the shed...and lock it!" Extremely well designed, good looking and wonderfully versatile (the wheelbarrow, not my wife. Well, come to think of it, my wife, too!), she's absolutely right. Guess I'm going to have to start locking the shed.
