10 Best Wheelbarrows (Review) In 2022

The Gorilla Carts Poly Wheelbarrow is great for heavy loads up to 600 pounds and the heaped capacity is a larger-than-average 4 cu ft, making it our best choice for volume and ease of use. The four wheels make it sturdy enough for pulling along when it’s full, and Gorilla has included the patented quick-release dump feature which means you don’t need to empty it with a spade yourself. The wheelbarrow literally takes work off your hands and unlike a one two wheel wheelbarrow, this one is easy to maneuver without needing to lift it at all. When you need to empty contents, it’s a dump cart so you won’t need extra strength needed for a basic wheelbarrow.

The Marathon Yard Rover Wheelbarrow & Garden Cart is the second cheapest on our review list and at just 25 pounds, it’s much lighter than some of its counterparts. The two air-filled wheels measure 14.5 inches and because they’re inflated they will absorb any ‘bounce’ or vibration that you would feel with stiffer tires. You might like that the handle is placed at average waist height and it is balanced so moving this wheelbarrow around is easy. So if you have heavy muck to shift or garden toys to put away, at this price the Marathon Yard Rover might just be the perfect tool.

We enjoyed reviewing this 8-in-1 wheelbarrow and we have made it our premium pick of the bunch. It does a variety of jobs at the price. It’s the WORX Aerocart 8-in-1 Steel Wheelbarrow, Yard Cart & Dolly. The design makes it easy to transport not only garden materials but boxes and much more. It has a dolly option that works as a personal forklift – fantastic for moving your heavy boxes from the car trunk to the house. There are plenty of extras – a bag option for collecting garden weeds/leaves neatly (instead of laying a flat bag on the floor); a hook for moving awkward items like a filled flower or plant pots; and it can even attach to an ATV trailer! It’s sturdy and does make moving heavy items much easier than lifting or dragging them to where you need them. You can even shift cylinders with a special attachment – all extra fittings are supplied. Simply tilt and transport or use as a small wheelbarrow.

The 15-inch large rubber tires, of which there are two, makes it easy to tip contents out of the Polar Trailer Poly Hauling Cart & Wheelbarrow. It’s easy to maneuver over tougher terrains as the wheels are wide and will absorb any ‘bounce’ from harder surfaces. The one thing we weren’t too keen on was the spoke-style wheel design which, instead of being smooth, means they can collect mud easily so if you like a clean garden tool you might find washing this down with a pressure washer after every use a bit of a chore. As far as wheelbarrows go, this has a brilliant deep bed and 7 cu ft of space so that you don’t chance to tip out the contents easily when moving it – although, because of the two-wheel design it is easy to remove the contents when you need to.

The Best Choice Products Dual-Wheel Wheelbarrow is our best value pick for a smaller and lighter wheelbarrow that is ideal for use in and around the garden or yard. It will help with home improvement projects and can be cleaned and stored easily. For its size, the 13-inch wheels are good and offer sturdiness when you want to transport its contents. It is of typical design with a plastic tub, steel frame, and rubber wheels. When not being pushed/pulled it is stable while being filled or emptied, and it can be tipped forward to empty muck, gravel, or anything else you are shifting. You might note that we would say light-use only – the rubber grip handle will wear or get brittle over time.

The Marathon Industries Dual-Wheel Yard Rover Wheelbarrow is a fairly tidy and small looking wheelbarrow that is ideal for residential use. It has a standard weight capacity of 300 pounds and is quite light to use as a wheelbarrow. It is one of two Marathon wheelbarrows in our review list and works well as a yard cart. Despite its 5 cu ft capacity, it does not work well for heavy-duty use. We think it looks a bit like a toy with the plastic design in a bright color. You might like that the two 13-inch wheel flat-free design doesn’t give you the need to spend time inflating the tires. It balances nicely although as a dump cart you will need to be able to lift it forward to empty contents.

One of two Gorilla Carts wheelbarrows on our review list, out of the two this is the more heavy-duty dump cart and it shows – it is 22 pounds heavier than the Gorilla Carts GOR4PS (number 1. on our review list) but this one, the Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Poly 2-in-1 Convertible Handle Wheelbarrow, is a bigger model and designed to be a heavy-duty wheelbarrow. The bed is much larger too, and while it doesn’t have the largest cubic foot capability on our list, the weight it can carry far exceeds most. The handle makes it easy to pull. Four wheels ensure that it is steady when in use. And, this heavy-duty wheelbarrow has a quick/easy dump feature for emptying out the contents when you’re ready. We think, at its price, this is the best 6 cubic feet wheelbarrow available.

Our budget pick on the Unclutterer review list for best wheelbarrow is the Creative Co-op Decorative Metal Wheel Barrow. It is one of the best garden carts – if you like vintage and rustic design – but don’t be confused, this is a GIFT for the gardener in your life. We were concerned about people wanting to buy this that might think it’s a full size, trendy barrow for the small garden – we did before realizing the dimensions! So we reviewed it anyway and it’s our budget pick regardless. Just because it’s cute! Could probably pop some mini alpine plants or hyacinth bulbs in before you present it as a gift.

This Goplus Dual Wheel Steel Wheelbarrow is designed in a hard-wearing poly plastic and claims to be able to carry out heavy-duty tasks including those for residential, farming, and warehousing. We did think it was the best wheelbarrows that might be more suited to gardens and lawns. You may like that it has pneumatic tires that can be inflated to the correct PSI when needed and this is a sturdy, good-sized yard cart with a good 5 cubic foot capacity.

The 10-inch wheels keep the dump cart sturdy and can handle heavy loads to 550 pounds to make sure that the wheelbarrow is easy to pull. The LUCKYERMORE Garden Dump, Utility Wagon & Wheelbarrow is a low budget wheelbarrow that will help make lighter work of garden and yard work. Like the Marathon Yard Rover and many of our others featured on the Unclutterer review list, it’s a green-colored garden cart, is pretty lightweight, and cleans up well after use.
