Whitmor Heavy Duty Utility Cart with Front Access Door

frankiejane: Heavy duty and love that the front opens so I don’t have to lift the large cat litter over the top, just slide it in and out. Very handy and holds lots of “stuff.” Wish I had gotten this sooner but have it now so I’m happy.

Jessey Sylvester: I live in an apartment and take the bus to the grocery store. Over the years we have bought many carts for this purpose that have claimed to be sturdy and fell apart in several uses or when you load them the axel bows. This cart is both heavy duty and heavy, if you are looking for a light weight cart this may not be for you but we love it.

A J.: I have struggled for years with a cart that did not have swivel front wheels. Every time you have to turn it is brute strength to deal with it - especially with heavy loads. Now that so many people bring bottled water home - this is VERY important! If you are looking for a new cart -this is the one! The door can easily come open -that is true -but I just put a padlock on it & problem solved. Other than that it is WONDERFUL and not difficult to put together if you follow the directions (also bend the pin wire that holds the back wheels - so the pin can not come out from the wheel).

rachelleme: The media could not be loaded.  I bought this at the end of December 2020. I was so grateful to have it but there is a HUGE issue that Whitmor needs to address.

First of all, it's sturdy. It's strong. The sides aren't going to pop off or out like other bundle buggies, because this buggy is made differently from cheaper ones.

The metal mesh bottom is fabulous. Not only is it great for putting smaller items on, but the mesh bottom makes it stronger, meaning you can carry heavier things in it without the bottom bowing out or the axles bending. Plus, in these days of long lineups, when waiting and my legs get tired, I'm able to pull open the front door and sit in it. Not everyone could do this, but I'm small.

The front door is great, too. Sometimes I'm carrying heavy stuff in there, and having to lift it out would be too much for my back. I can pull open the door and slide it out, forwards. The door WILL pop open by itself if you don't find a way to secure it. At first I used one of the sturdy twist ties that came with the packaging. Then I got a bit of hook-and-loop faster (for holding computer cords) and used that instead. Quite satisfactory, I only need...

kirby: I have been using this cart for well over year now. I wanted something to help me because my parking was very far from my home. I was hesitant because I have to walk over grass and gravel, but anything to make it so I didn't have to take multiple trips to my car for groceries is worth it.

I am very impressed with this lil guy. I still remember pulling it out of the box and being a little worried.... It doesn't look that sturdy... It looked like just any other cart. I assumed the wheels wouldn't be able to handle the terrain and weight.

Well I was wrong, and I am very happy with just how wrong I was. This cart has no issues with the weight of groceries, packs of...drinks for social events included. This cart is incredibly sturdy. It has no issues with any terrain so far. This cart is smooth.... I don't feel any of the weight. I never have to fight this cart. It is effortless hauling things around with this cart.

It folds up nicely and fits in my car. I am overall just very impressed. I am very glad I got this cart; thank you for this product.

Helen: I love this cart.

I did my research and, finding that most carts are so poorly made that the wheels fall off mid-trip or they are just impossible to push, I decided to pay for one that sounded better. It was absolutely worth it. I can see this cart lasting a good part of a lifetime. A few people have actually stopped me to ask about the cart.

I load it up weekly with heavy groceries (we buy a lot of food!) and it has never struggled a bit. It's easy to maneuver because of the swivel wheels; it's also easy to push or pull because the wheels turn really smoothly. It travels through the snow without trouble, too. I have no worries about the metal bending or breaking, as it is quite strong.

I wouldn't call it light, but I can carry it to and from my basement without trouble. It also folds up pretty well flat so it's easy to transport even in a small car.

As in many cases, you get what you pay for. Yes, you pay more for this than for some carts, but I'd say it is well worth the money.

Kerry B Shorr: I can’t believe I’m writing this but I receive so many compliments from strangers on this cart! It’s large to accommodate my bulky and heavy groceries and the cart is very easy to navigate with having to jerk it in the direction I want, whether it’s around corners or up or down inclines. I have even had to monogram it with stickers spelling out my name because it’s been “taken” twice by people living in my building no one else has that problem but me so I’m taking it as a compliment.

Mitch: I bought this cart as I was looking for a strong, sturdy method of carrying/walking my groceries home. Having used it for several weeks, I am certainly pleased with the results. For anyone wondering, the cart arrives in a large, rectangular box. Inside is the frame, the axle, wheels, along with the screws and washers. The instructions claim assembly takes less than 30 minutes and it is indeed so. It took me about 15 min and I didn't need any additional tools.

Regarding the cart itself, the entire frame feels very sturdy. It folds easily enough and there's a little piece to lock it in "folded" mode. The handle bar is surrounded by foam which makes holding it for longer strolls easier. The front door on the cart doesn't really have a "lock" but rather it latches in place like a hook. This isn't really a big deal, so long as gravity keeps the front door in place.

Regarding durability, I personally haven't carried anything more than 60 lbs or so, and it was just groceries, so I can't make a comment on the maximum weight this thing can carry. But for what I carried, it did the job nicely. I don't see any wear and tear at all with regards to the frame. The wheels however,...

Ken: I've had a number of shopping carts over the years, all rather poorly made. This one is different, it's well made.
- Sturdy and oversized, it should last for many, many years.
- The front and back wheels use ball bearings, the lesser used front wheel swivels use sleeve bearings. This is great.
- The front wheels turn easily making navigation a breeze.
- The instructions are much better than for most consumer items except for not identifying that the large back wheels have an inside and outside orientation until AFTER you have installed them both. Be careful of that.
Overall, an overpriced but high-end cart that should please.

Janita SBZ: I have weekly deliveries and pick ups for my elderly parents: water, laundry, groceries, recycling, shopping, supplies, etc. And this was one of few carts with the right dimensions for my purpose. 4 wheels are great. Maneuverability is great. Quality is great. The front opening is really helpful; you don't have to take everything out to get at something.

The packaging was great, assembly easy and well explained. So far, it's everything it claimed to be and then some. It is saving me multiple trips from and to my car, up and down some stairs, to their suite and back. I have more time and energy for visiting them. That's really important to me. And it's easier on me which is a nice bonus.

It's a marvellous convenience I'm very grateful for. Thank you!!!
