How well would this cart perform in the snow? I need an all season grocery/shopping cart.

We never used it in the snow. The large back wheel would probably be "pullable" as the other commenter suggested.

As long as you "pull" behind you and not push in front it should be ok...same at the beach....this cart performs better pulling rather than pushing.

I live in Florida . I use my cart for laundry, shopping and any other things I need. I love my cart.

Don't worry about the wheels. This is a well built and very sturdy cart. I wheel it around everywhere in my kitchen with no problem. You won't regret this purchase!

I load the cart up with heavy books / magazines. It is sturdy. Probably would want a foam cushioned mat for the dog to lay on top of. I've very pleased with it.

I believe it would work fine. We have put a large box on ours and put groceries in it to carry some distance and it works great. We use bungee cords to hold things on to the cart.

I have the 16" wheels which are fairly wide. For my purposes they work well, but I'm on fairly flat, stable ground. I think I would know better after moving wood from the pile to the house, after I have to deal with some snow and ice under my wheels. I have a different brand of cart (unknown) that has the skinny 20" wheels and tho' narrower that works well anytime, but the load is only about a third of the smart cart volume.I think I would ask the Smart Cart manufacturer what he recommends. They are very willing to talk to you and very "up-front" about everything. I have the 16" wheels which are fairly wide. For my purposes they work well, but I'm on fairly flat, stable ground.

I think it would be a perfect cart to do the job. The one we have I use for hauling gardening things or anything that I want to get from one place to another. It is very well built. It pulls and maneuvers easily.

Well it doesn't snow a lot here but when it does, it holds up very well. I've had absolutely no problems with mine. No regrets making this purchase.

No problem at all. I was reluctant to buy this unit since it costs so much more than other ones on Amazon. This one is built really tough and I expect it to last awhile. Plus, our son can haul in all of the groceries at one time vs. making separate trips to the car. The bottom of it is is a rubbery non-skid surface so it doesn't slide around. Best of luck.

It's fine on ice, but is pretty difficult to push through snow. Kind of like trying to maneuver a shopping cart through slush.

I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far. They seem to be heavy duty enough to last a long time. The wheels are stamped steel and the tires are solid rubber. The only complaint I have is the odor from the rubber that several of the reviewers talked about. It is strong and last a long time. I think it is outgassing from the rubber compound that is used and probably is due to the process being used to make them not being the same as we are used to with normal tires. Not sure if it would bother a deer but I don't leave the cart near my stand location. I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far.

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

Its weight is not an issues. About 25 lbs or so. I am in far north east new York and use this to keep my drive way and sidewalks clear, has worked great. Handles both wet and dry snow well. Simple use, small wheels but again I have not had any issues (meant for hard surfaces)

The generator will run in the rain and snow but keep in mind electricity and water don't mix. I suggest you run it on a covered porch, build a small open air pole barn or run it in a shed but be sure to exhaust the engine fumes outside. As for moving the unit around its generally not a problem with the wheels and handle for an average size adult depending on the terrain you're pulling it over.

Yes. I have had it out all winter long. Lots and lots of snow and ice here no issue at all. It handled it beautifully. It's a wonderful item. No problems with it.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

The manual says it won't support heavy snows. Looking at the design, I think it would do OK with a light snow load. I doubt seriously it could take a heavy wet load. I've only had mine a few months, and I live near the ocean in VA which rarely has heavy snows, but, I would suggest a heavier duty model for northern tier states.

I use it for a double car drive and 60 feet of sidewalk. It is easy to move around and to shift and the wheels on the back assist with that. It does a good job in light snow but is not as good if the snow is wet and more than a couple of inches deep.
