" ... You can carry it with one hand. ... "
" ... After a few loads I feel the strain on my back. ... "
" ... Be careful of your fingers when changing it to the folded position. ... "
" ... I love that it is a feminine-looking hand truck. ... "
" ... One word of caution, watch them fingers when you fold/unfold . ... "
" ... this is easy to fold , according to the other review, I was worried about someone get their finger cut and break because of poor design while folding up, I noticed those reviewer have no common sense, you are not suppose to put your hand where all the moving part is, and you not suppose to fold it while its was standing while holding it with your other hand, all you have to do is simply lay it on the ground and step on the dolly's handle, and pull the plastic handle for it to fold easy as 1,2 , ... "
" ... This is a great hand truck. ... "
" ... It works great, I do see where some individuals could hurt themselves like in the other reviews. ... "
