I havent pod and have no use for a trolley but if i did....i think these look great for the money.
the only downside is no flow controller, but even if you add one it works out cheaper than a pure freedom trolley and a better design imo.

I do. It's OK but does, in my opinion, have a few problems.

The first is that the handle is a bit short.

The second is that it is somewhat cumbersome to push or pull when full and could do with a wheel on the front.

Also, if you are not careful, the hose reel handle can catch on the ground while it is being pulled along.

Having said all that it is not bad for the money and I am now used to it. It is better I think than the normal upright 35ltr jobbies that are available. (I own and use one of those as well - they are a bit top heavy and the outlet pipe underneath the thing is very easy to catch if not careful and they break very easily) The inbuilt hose on the gardiner  trolley is a great addition.

Hope that helps, Dave

I have extended the handles on both my trolleys with a drain rod. It has made a big difference to how easy they are to pull around.

ace have you added a flow controller?

[Ace Windows]

I have fitted a simple inline push fit tap to control the flow but usually leave it run at full speed 'cause I prefer a good flow of water.

The pump cuts out when the flow is stopped at the brush head although it does cycle(?) a bit sometimes.

Cheers guys ,good tip ace but sounds like u still glad u got one,it's beats most by far on price & looks the part.....the only think is the weight when full its a hard balance as 25ltr barrels r fairly heavy so that extra few must take getting use to....

I prefer my trolley, but i really like the ten metre hose reel on it

Not a better battery, or pump, charger, and no controller... So I'd go the British made pure freedom.

[dazmond]

spend the extra and get a pure freedom trolley.easily changeable barrels,flow controller and good pump and battery.IMO you shouldnt scrimp on batteries and controllers.very robust as well.

i have freedom trolley also and give thumbs up, not perfect, but very reliable.

The link above is a copy of the freedom trolley chasis, which is a clever design.

I think freedom trolley is £500 plus vat (so £600)

Tebuck trolley £206 finished price. Battery golf trolley 22ah/12volt £50, controller £100 and £80 pump= £436
If you fancy a bit of diy, which in a way might be good as you'll be a dab hand at repairing trolley.
