Does the handle lose suction while transporting due to sand/grit from the board?

I really haven't used the wheels much because they don't work we'll for my situation where I have to pull my board/boards through a trail filled with high grass and weeds and they pull the wheels off. My experience with the suction handle is that it doesn't stay attached for more than a few minutes at a time. It could just be the surface of my SUP boards, but that's been my experience.

I ended up returning this item - I have an 11' stand up paddle board and needed a cart to take it from my house to the River beach which was a couple blocks from my house over rough sidewalk, across a asphalt street and then along a short strip of boardwalk. Two things happened - one, when I hit a bump on the sidewalk the board slipped off the wheels even though I thought I did a good job strapping it but the handle worked fine but two, once the board was wet after using it I could not get the handle to stick for the transport back it kept slipping. I returned it and went with a Wheeleez SUP cart instead which works like a charm I ended up returning this item - I have an 11' stand up paddle board and needed a cart to take it from my house to the River beach which was a couple blocks from my house over rough sidewalk, across a asphalt street and then along a short strip of boardwalk.

That has never happened to me. The handle makes a huge difference for me as a 5 foot tall person trying to carry a 10'6" board. When I leave the handle attached to the board inside, it does fall off overnight, but it has never even loosened while carrying.

I have just wiped the outside down and have yet the need to take it apart to clean, so I dont know the answer to your question Melissa. It doesnt have the traditional wide flat paddles that would collect dust.

Sorry... 'don't know why your unit lost suction cause mine still works fine. Per all the other previous feedback left about this product concerning suction issues, perhaps it has to do with the little rubber band on the hand unit. I would check that first. Good luck!

No, I have never had a problem with the handle. The only problem I have is the container itself becomes somewhat discolored after using it for a while. I use it daily to make protein fruit shakes, so I anticipate that the acid in the fruit may have an affect. Only use a soft sponge or cloth on the container...never use anything that can scratch it.

Yes it is. It is sturdier than most of the suction handles out there...I believe this particular handle was actually intended originally for heavier duty stuff since I saw it for a different application--don't recall what it was.

I just split up about 20-30 logs, and smacked the handle at full force a bunch of times with nothing occurring but a marred finish. The hollowness actually helps to dissipate the force and it just bounces off.

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

Not a problem for me, as I cut my grass at the shortest height. Wasn't a problem at the beginning when I was trying various cutting heights. My handle is stiff and hard to move, so I can't see it jumping out of its notch. Is your handle installed correctly?

I've never used mine in sand.But have taken it on a farm with lots of dirt. it still does fine. I can't really answer your question

No the handle can stay just the tier rails and legs need to be in there travel positions but the handle can stay where it is.

Is the vacuum fully upright? When the handle is tilted back, it diverts the suction to the floor.

It would indeed stop the movement but the bags will still bounce more than desired when hitting the board --- it's just too flimsy of a design. Poor design = poor experience. Save your money and buy something sturdier that doesn't need to be fixed with sandbags at the bottom.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

Depends. On zero clearance jobs, the fence suction still comes in handy. Otherwise, the fence dust port didn't see much use, (at least for me and I own both the incra fence and cleansweep).

I have not experienced that problem. The sweeper has been performing above expectations. The suction is amazing, it doesn't miss much.

I used the tool yesterday on a ride and did not have any problems. Sounds as if something is bent or is there any dirt in the tool.

yes it does but you have to move slowly over the sand so you don't mix it up before the sand reaches the suction part..
