20 Best Wheelbarrow Under $100 (2022 Updated)

Assembly wasn’t difficult, all the holes lined up well enough for the bolts. The bolts, washers, and nuts are not galvanized so they’ll end up rusting. The dual wheel design does offer more stability than a single wheel but the axle design leaves a lot to be desired.

It sits somewhat lower than I’d like. The plastic “tub” was disappointing though. The plastic is quite thin so the wheelbarrow will need to be stored out of the elements when not in use or it will crack, as noted in other reviews.

If the manufacturer were to use a galvanized metal for the “tub” (if Walmart allowed it) then I’d Ifeel better about spending my $100 on this wheelbarrow. That to say it isn’t built to last but it would seem nothing is these days.

I don’t write reviews often, but I have a feeling that most of the time we are only prompted to write reviews when we have a problem, so I thought I might even the scales a bit. I use this for mucking my horse corrals and it gets used HARD.

I carry very heavy, overflowing loads in it, sometimes several times a day almost everyday for almost 3 months now, and it’s help up perfectly. It has been so much easier to use than my previous old one wheel style barrow.

At first I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t a bit bigger, but because it’s so much easier to manage with a heavy load, it’s my go-to barrow for sure. I also have a little (TINY) neighbor girl who comes over and uses it everyday and it’s the perfect size for her – easy to manage and low to the ground.

Also because of it’s low center of gravity and 2 wheel style, it’s harder for my horses to “accidentally” tip it over if I walk away for a minute (they’re so helpful!). I recently took it to a Mustang Taming Competition and it was a great size for lifting into the truck or fitting into the trailer tack room.

This seems a silly thing, but I also love the padded handle, it’s made out of really nice material, it just makes it nicer to push with a heavy load. My experience using it has been a 5 star experience, but I knocked off 1 star because the holes were misaligned and my hubby had to drill new ones in order to assemble it – which wasn’t a big deal for him, but might be for some people.

I price shopped similar carts and felt this one was the best value for the money – I would definitely buy it again, even if I had to buy a new one every year, it would be worth it.

My wife wanted a lightweight wheelbarrow. She liked this right off the bat. Not only is it much lighter than the standard steel wheelbarrows we own, it is also more stable with two wheels instead of one.

Assembly was a breeze, too. My wife has been using it almost everyday when she is gardening and loving it.

OK, I’ve owned the wheelbarrow for a couple of weeks now. Easiest to maneuver, most stable by far. I’ve used it to help with all my Covid Tasks. I replaced a fence, resoded a bare patch behind my garage, trimmed back the Asian jasmine, trimmed the front hedge and cleaned up the area after every task.

I pull it one-handed to & from the work location, something I haven’t been able to do ever with a 1-wheel wb. I can push it up the ramp into my p/u bed and take a pile of junk to the dump. Very happy with it so far.

This is my first 2-wheel wheelbarrow. It is very nice and is much easier to use that the one wheel variety. If I had one issue the plastic tub is a bit more flimsy that the tub on the old wheelbarrow.

The old one is at least 15 years old and I guess things change. I have already used this new one to carry tools, plants, mulch, rocks and Grandkids. It works great and doesn’t tip easily. I would buy it again.

Good quality for the money, but not sure how long it will last. I didn’t want to pay hundreds for a home garden wheelbarrow, and I wanted to wheels for stability and ease of use. So this for those criteria well.

I would definitely but this again, but I’m hoping it lasts long enough that it will be a while before I need to do that. It’s not bad quality, in fact it’s pretty good, just not 5 star. I recommend it for anyone in my same position, but I wouldn’t suggest it for heavy duty used.

See where it says “Move mounds of mulch or loads of leaves”? That’s as much as it can handle. Need to move sand or soil or debris, anything harder or heavier than already-dried grass clippings? Tough.

This product is too poorly made even for light household use. While the frame seems solid and the wheels are a good size, the tray is thin and brittle and vulnerable. It cracks easily and the cracks grow quickly.

The only way it “will provide years of service” is if you never use it.

Love this wheelbarrow so far. Haven’t used it that ,much but it seems built well enough for my needs. The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars is that it is difficult to completely empty when dumping.

Some material stays in and you actually have to lift the wheel barrow to get it completely empty. Just a bit of a design flaw on the front edge of the bucket. It hits the ground to quickly not allowing you to dump as you should.

Well, it looks heavy duty. The first time I used it was on a deck demo. I started tossing deck boards less than 2 feet long into the wheelbarrow. After loading, I wheeled it to my trailer to dump the debris in.

After doing so off I went with the wheelbarrow in tow. I looked down at the tub and noticed a 8″ long crack across the bottom. I thought no way could that have caused that. Then I’m investigating the creek closer I noticed how thin the bottom of the tub actually was.

It was maybe an eighth of an inch thick. Lo and behold I saw another crack up towards the front of the tub bottom. Now maybe this is my fault and I should’ve read more about the wheel barrel prior to purchasing it.

This is not a professional use wheelbarrow. I would category eyes this as a homeowner light yard debris wheelbarrow. I would be concerned to use it for any kind of stone Gravol or a shovel with a sharp point especially in the winter time when it would be more susceptible to the temperatures and cracking up.

It was 85° out when I was using it so temperature should not of been a factor. And $149 temperature shouldn’t matter anyway. It should’ve been able to take the minor abuse I was putting it through abuse I was putting it through.

I’m a professional contractor and I’m very picky when it comes to taking care of my tools and the quality Inn which I buy. I learned a long time ago in my trade the biz not pay to use cheap quality tomatoes or abuse them at any level of quality.

I had no idea or even give it a second thought to what I was doing would cause this issue. Live and learn I’m just hoping I can find a replacement tub that’s heavier duty than this one and that it will fit this frame without drilling holes.

If you’re spending $149 on a wheel barrel and you’re probably looking for a quality wheelbarrow I would not recommend this for that amount of money. if you’re spending $149 on a wheel barrel and you’re probably looking for a quality wheel barrel I would not recommend this for that amount of money.

This was brand new box. NO MANUAL OR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. it is wheels so it’s not such huge issue since I assembled many over the years. For the 1st time assembler (like my 15 year old son) it was discouraging.

A few nuts and 1 bolt missing in the original sealed bag. Wood wedge spacer, holes didn’t line up, had to make a small work around. Once was put together, it’s a real nice wheelbarrow, easy ro move and stable.

The hardware kit that this wheelbarrow comes with looks and performs like it has been salvaged off a hundred year-old shipwreck. It’s rusted, corroded, and does not work. The nuts do not work with the carriage bolts because they are both so rusted.

I realized during the final step that the top holes in the bucket were drilled 1/8″ too far apart, making it impossible to attach the shims and handle. By this point, I was invested to the tune of one trip to the hardware store and money for decent bolts and nuts, so instead of sending this heap of regret and extremely imprecise manufacturing tolerances back, I drilled out one of the hole.

Worst product I can ever remember buying.

Our church purchased 24 of these m p deals for a special Good Friday service. We used the wheelbarrow to haul multiple trips filled with 300 pounds load of bricks. The wheelbarrow maneuvers easily is light and did not scratch, deform or dent from the bricks and rough handling.

Air pressure can be added or lowered as needed to accommodate load capacity. Dual capacity useful for yard or diy projects. So blessed to snag one of these after church finished using.

My husband ordered this wheelbarrow, and it was delivered promptly. He works hard on our property, and this is the 3rd wheelbarrow he has purchased in 12 years. He said the assembly was easy and directions clear.

He especially like the quality of the hardware, and overall materials. Highly recommended to all.

It came in green despite being advertised as blue. Assembly was more complicated than it should’ve been, and not all the fasteners fit the parts well. I have not used this yet, but just went to a horse show and left it behind because although smaller than my old wheelbarrow, it doesn’t fit in my tack area because of the handle and wheel dimensions when folded and is too light to be in the bed of the truck without being secured.

I use this for my job and despite the weight limit listed I actually use this for transporting concrete. My favorite part about this wheelbarrow is it is so light to carry. It folds nicely and has a velcro strap to hold it close.

I love it because it fits very easily in my car. Great product. Better than expected.

I bought it for horse camping and it works well for that. It is a little awkward for dumping and the back “kickstand” sometimes stumps against the ground if you don’t lift the handles high enough. Otherwise it is great for light duty cleanup.

I have wheeled 50lb sacks of grain around in it no problem. Hoses out and dries easily. Probably also great for horseshows or any travel situation.

This is a very good wheelbarrow is you are using it on reasonably smooth ground with good room to operate. Be advised – with two from wheels it is hard to operate in tight worksites and wider, two wheel set if often bumping into things and difficult to swing hard left or right in tight spaces.

Again good wheelbarrow but somewhat frustrating to use in tight working areas. I’ve moved 8 yards of class 5 road gravel and 2 yards of 1. 5″ wash and 2 yards of clay with it. It will stand up to hard use.

Oh. I thought this had the hard (airless) wheel like the single wheeled version so was a little disappointed that is had pneumatic tires but that was probably me not reading the product specs closely enough on the web site.

My first wheelbarrow was a cheapo 3 or 4 cu. ft. bought from a hardware store. My local contractor/building supplier was walking through my yard and noticed I was digging out my foundation of clay and hauling it back to a field for dumping.

He went to his business (couple hundred yards away) and returned with his commercial wheelbarrow. After I returned it after my project was done, I purchased a more heavy duty wheelbarrow with wood handles and a pneumatic tire.

Two years later, one of the handles broke and I screwed metal braces to it and it has been in service for thirty-five years. The last ten years it has been constantly in need of tire air (flat). Looked online for a replacement and finally found The Marathon at Walmart.

This wheelbarrow had metal handles and a flat-free tire and is built like a tank. Today, I hauled seven very full loads of apples for dumping 75 yards away. Very happy with my purchase. I am 66 and not a big guy and I didn’t feel that it was too heavy as a previous reviewer stated.

very strong. Should last a long time. Really like the no flat tire. The only problem is putting the thing together. A degree in mechanical engineering is a plus. Make sure you have a 14mm socket/wrench and a grease gun.

The previous guy said it was too heavy, not really. If it wasnt, it wouldnt last. It is almost all steel. Once it is put together you will like it.

I am sure someone can assemble one of these in minutes, but it is not me. Complete assembly is required without instructions. It was not easy for me. I strongly suggest anyone looking for a wheelbarrow to buy one already assembled.

Quality is not all that great either.

A wheelbarrow should not start falling apart within days. The metal cross bar that keeps it stable bent with a fairly light load (I’m almost 70 and do not overload a wheelbarrow – my last one lasted 20 years).

I have spent the last 18 months babying it and trying to adjust for its weakness. Now the tire is leaking through a seam in the steel wheel, so I will have to replace the entire wheel or junk the entire wheelbarrow.

Rather surprised that a generally reputable company like Ace would sell such a low quality item.

This wheelbarrow was exactly what I needed and performs precisely as advertised. I am on a hillside property with steps and doing a landscaping project in my back yard. I needed a way to haul heavy materials (gravel and sand) down these steps and save me from back strain.

The large pneumatic front wheel glides down steps and can even manouvre over 4″ curbs. I thought this would be better option than a standard wheelbarrow and I was right. This was my first time ordering through Houzz and I could not be happier.

The price was significantly lower than anywhere else and was delivered earlier than anticipated. Unlike other reviewers, I found this very easy to assemble (Less than 20 minutes). I am very happy with the product and my purchasing experience.

This is great for collecting brush, downed branches, weeds, vines, etc. on a steep hillside. Regular wheelbarrows and bushels just roll away. I haven’t had it very long, so I don’t know how long it will last, but it seems very sturdy.

This should have been a 15-minute assembly, but took closer to 45. All of the bolts are a half-inch too long preventing the use of a normal socket set. I thought maybe I was given the wrong handle set since I received metal instead of wood, but was told this is the new standard handle for this wheelbarrow.

I suspect this could be an issue due to a size difference in the new handles. The instructions were easy to follow, but left out some critical details, like seating the front bucket support when attaching the axle mount.

Front bracket for the wheel fork didn’t line up correctly either. Ended up leaving it off.

This wheelbarrow is light and very practical. For small garden jobs it is ideal. If like me you are tired of breaking your back carrying sandbags or soil it is an essential purchase that simplifies your life.

It is easy to assemble, easy to unfold and easy to store. It does not take up space. I highly recommend.

Had been looking for a wheelbarrow for some time but they have always been too heavy; lets face it if you have a wheelbarrow you are going to fill it with things you can’t carry! Having had a bad back for many years I was at a loss as to how I could move things in the garden.

Found the folding barrow. Great for what I need and easy storage, even has a place on the back of the barrow where I can keep things to save me having to bend. Common sense tells you not to over fill but this suits my needed.

Sturdy. Delivered on time. Solid wheel which is ideal for the allotment. Handles are wide apart making it bit difficult to get through allotment gate. Hence 4 star rating.

I bought this because my 28 year old metal/wood one went bad with leaks (replaced wheel once). bought this one on sale with really good price. it’s a all metal and poly , and probably won’t rust or rot like my old one.

really sturdy and it took me half an hour to assemble. make sure only tighten it after fully assembled as one would make mistakes in putting it together. it carries a lot and feel really balanced. the wheel is heavy duty.

I highly recommend it. get one before the season ends.

This wheelbarrow is great. It’s thick plastic tub Mack it lighter than the metal ones but super durable and lite. The wheel is wide so it doesn’t tip over easily. I can’t believe how much it holds. This was a really great buy.

Would be a great tool but we had to take it apart once we got home and add spacers to wheels and reconnect the entire bed, handles, supports and anything else to make it work. We couldnt get assistance on the spacers and had to purchase the washers at another store.

Poorly assembled and this was the second one purchased. The first one was returned for many of the same issues! Sad case of i dont know at local store.

This item was impossible to put together. Tried with two people for 2 hours. Parts are not made straight and would not align with the bolts that are welded onto the base. Returned. Also, very hard to even find the RETURN INSTRUCTIONS ON LINE.

WILL NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

I ordered this wheelbarrow last fall and it has finally arrived. I was so excited to put it together, until I realized that the brackets didn’t line-up on the right handle/foot support. Luckily I was able to cut off enough of the metal tube to the wheel support so the brackets would line-up.

This wheelbarrow is so cute. I plan to include it in my seasonal yard decorations.

Just received today. It should have been very easy to assemble, but that was not the case. First, this will take two people. Second, have a mallet ready, as well as a metric ratchet set. In the end, I am very pleased.

I have already decorated it with faux Easter flowers. Come Fall, straw and pumpkins.
