But now the big question\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did It Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I found the cart to be a lot&nbsp;<strong>easier<\/strong>&nbsp;to set up and take down compared to some of its competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It worked pretty well for the first few months, but after that, we started to notice some issues with it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the&nbsp;<strong>wheels<\/strong>&nbsp;seemed to turn slower than the other and it actually made the cart&nbsp;<strong>veer left all the time<\/strong>&nbsp;(others seemed to have this problem as well).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That along with the battery issue kind of made the thing hard to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about some pros and cons\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It\u2019s a cheaper cart.<\/li><li>The frame was solid and seemed to be durable.<\/li><li>It was easy to set up and takedown.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The wheels didn\u2019t have as much traction as I\u2019d like.<\/li><li>The battery didn\u2019t hold a charge after a few months (not for long anyway).<\/li><li>The straps broke.<\/li><li>It veered left.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Performance Score: 6<\/li><li>Price Score: 9<\/li><li>Durability Score: 8<\/li><li><strong>My Personal Score: 7.5<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. How long does it take to charge?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. About 4-5 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. What\u2019s the weight of the cart?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. The cart weighs about 25 lbs and the battery weighs about 25 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Can you push it like a normal pushcart?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Yes, but it\u2019s not as smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Worth It?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it wasn\u2019t the worst electric trolley on the market but there were definitely things I didn\u2019t really like about it. It\u2019s fairly cheap (compared to other electric carts) and probably better than nothing, but it&nbsp;<strong>wasn\u2019t reliable enough<\/strong>&nbsp;for me to feel comfortable recommending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which ones did I like better?
