United General WH89679 Poly Tray Wheelbarrow, 4 Cubic-Feet

Why buy a Homeowner Wheelbarrow when Metal Pan wheelbarrows are available at Home Depot or Wallyword???My old AMES Throughbred Plastic Pan Wheelbarrow lasted 20 years.Ames does not make a plastic wheelbarrow any more.My wheelbarrow lives outside. A Steel Pan was not an option.The first United General wheelbarrow arrived with cracked handles (At the end)This was where my Ames failed, so I tried to get replacement handlesAmazon insisted on returning the whole wheelbarrow.Once I got the new one, I applied Spar Varnish to the handles and sprayed pickup truck bed liner paint on the lower portion.I expect to get another 20 years.Warning just basic assembly takes 2 hours. Taking a photo of a random assembled wheelbarrow at a box store speeds up process.You will need a drill and bits since some of the holes are off a bit (Hee Hee)Chinese hardware shipped in box is kinda cheap-You may end up making a run to HD or Lowes anyway.

I bought the wheelbarrow in mid August but due to Hurricane Isaac, I didn't get a chance to assemble it for a couple of weeks. Because I was doing the assembly by myself, I wished for a third hand several time. Very difficult with just two. No instructions but was able to figure it out OK with trial and error.Until today, the tire does not hold air for more then 2-3 days. I can't find the leak by spraying soapy water on it so I plan to take the tire off and submerge the tire in a tub of water and see what I can find. Unfortunately, I'll be out of town for a couple of weeks so it will have to wait. Hope that I can fix it and not go through the trouble of returning the darn thing. No other problems besides this. Delivery was timely and all pieces arrived in good order.

I hate to ding the product for Amazon's short comings, but I am going to in this case. My "Prime" guaranteed delivery of two days took almost two weeks. Granted, this doesn't happen often. But when it does there is very little recourse or after action on Amazon's part.It would have been nice if the product came with instructions, but I had absolutely no trouble putting it together from a picture.

The positives: Lightweight/good front tire/inexpensive.The negatives: No instructions/poorly manufactured (I had to redrill two holes in the handles that were drilled incorrectly)/assembly bolts use a screwdriver slot to allow you to tighten, but the slot is so shallow that it is almost impossible to tighten fully. (I replaced the bolts and put on lockwashers). After assembly it seemed awfully flimsy. I did place 2 X 3 bracing boards between the handles directly under the tub and it is much sturdier. In short, it is potentially good for the price, but--unless you're willing to spend an hour or so on assembly and add some braces across the bottom I would not recommend.

When I purchased this product, I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a wheel barrow and I don't use one that often. I read a prior review where a comment was made about the number of pieces that arrived in their order. I didn't have a problem with that. The wooden poles came together, the tub and a box with all the hardware. I was pleased that the tire came already inflated. One less issue to deal with. It does take a little time to understand which screws to use when assembling. The instructions are simple but vague. For moving dirt, this is more than adequate. I wouldn't recommend moving heavier materials like brick or stone becasue the tub is of flexible plastic construction. For the price, it was well worth it. I can't complain about the delayed delivery because of the weather. Many things were affected by that included UPS and USPS. I would recommend this product.

Wheelbarrow parts appear to be well-made...but there were NO instructions at all on how to assemble it. I have had a bunch of parts in a pile on my table for 3 weeks now. No idea where to start, or even how to tell if all the pieces are here!Seriously disappointed. How hard would it be to include instructions with this?! As it is, this thing is utterly useless. I still need a wheelbarrow.And my living room smells like plastic and rubber from the wheel and basket. Ugh.

Good for haulling rabbit waste trays to the compost pile. Seems a little shortf or me but went together easily. Prop the poly on its side and run pins though all lower pieces to start putting it together. Gave it a 3 because it came without the handles at first

Mediocre, but priced accordingly. You won't be hauling bricks in this (it would snap in half), but it's decent for basic small yard work. This is not built for heavy loads. Also, pretty easy to assemble.
