Also looks like it would be totally be destroyed were I ever to use it for the things I usually require a dolly for.
Call me crazy, but investing in a heavy load dolly is a no brainer.
This is more of a move a box or two in your condo kinda thing.

Bought this for $77.99 two years ago and it's been perfect for condo use.

I need to move a woodstove from basement to throw it out. Can this dolly handle it? The thing is I'm not sure what's the weight of my woodstove, but it's quite heavy

Concept looks appealing, although I doubt I'd feel very confident moving a piece of furniture or an appliance with this. When I see all these various modes and hinges, I see more places stuff can break

Also have had this for 2 years and it's been great when needed. Easy to use, no issues.

Same here. I've had mine for a year and I use it all the time for stuff around the house, Costco shopping loads, moving myself and friends. It's been perfect.

I checked the store in Montreal for this in the past half a year or so. Went to 3 different costco and don't see this specific model on sale.
the one they have in store is only 2 wheel and the wheel folding mechanism is plastic

Would like to add my experience with this as well. Bought 3 as they were in clearance 5 years ago at HD for 30 each.

2 of them were used to move twice in/out if a condo. Heaviest load was probably 100lbs as a dolly. Slightly more as a hand truck. This was gifted to a friend who needed to cart tiles and other materials for a condo reno.

These have stood up to my use, which wasn't near the maximum load values. It's been an absolute time saver for me especially having 2 for moves. Handles most box sizes and Rubbermaid containers without issue. The only downside is probably the casters. They're not great on anything but smooth surfaces.

I'd say if you're doing light /medium duty work around the house these are great. It's nice to not have to have a separate dolly and hand truck around the house, and it folds up nice and compact on my wall.

That thing isn't as useful as the specs may imply. It won't move anything bulky. It was pretty useless for moving a 30" stove, even with the door, drawers, and racks removed. I tried. It was easier to just carry the stove by hand.
