Would this work well taking laundry up and down stairs? Washer/dryer in basement. Just started using cane; need help w/loads.

Maybe. I thought I would use it to pull groceries into my apartment building, but I use a walker and found it awkward to push the walker with one hand while pulling the cart. Suggest borrowing a cart first and experimenting with the cane and cart. Putting the laundry in a dufflle might be less awkward.

I live in an apartment, too where the washers don't have an automatic dispenser for detergent or bleach or softener. I have successfully used the Downy ball in our old machines and have found it to be a Godsend. I don't have to run down four flights of stairs every fifteen minutes any more. It was well worth the money.

Yes, it does but you have to provide the power. If it's too heavy you may have problems pulling it up the stairs.

Yes, I use it to transport groceries from my car to my condo which is quite a distance. It can be pulled up stairs if done gently as long as it is not filled to the top meaning exceeding weight it can hold.

My experience is that it does fine on carpeted stairs. The brushes rotate consistently, and it picks up a lot, especially dust. First time I used it, I had to empty the canister frequently, as it picked up so much!

I purchased this cart for use while our street is being torn up and replaced. Since the work hasn't started yet, so the cart is sitting my my trunk in the meantime. However, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work for laundry.

I have mine supporting my compact dryer in the back room and it has thick carpet as well... The wheels roll very well. I think that it can even handle thick padded shag carpet.

I use it inside as a laundry basket when I have a big load. It works great. It is a little deep tho and you can't pick it up like you would a laundry basket .

I can get a laundry basket through. We've had this at the top of our staircase for over 6 months. It hasn't budged and is super easy to maneuver the gate. Keeps our small dogs contained.

It's wonderful for stairs. In fact that's why I got it. Here are the reasons it's so good on stairs: NO CORD to drag around or trip on LIGHT WEIGHT BOTH BRUSH AND SUCTION GETS CLOSE WALL AND RISER ADJUSTS ANGLE from 90 to 180 degrees

Mine works well on stairs. I use mine to bring groceries from the car into the house. When I pull the cart to the car (which is in the driveway), I have to make sure I turn the cart around so that when it is full, I can grab the handle to PULL it back to the house. I am not able to steer it in a circle to reposition it. Because of the 3 wheels on each side, they do not swivel. Other than that, I am very happy with my cart. It works well for my purpose.

Hi, yes it works great. I live on the second floor but I use the elevator. I put kitty litter and pilled to the top. I cannot say about stairs but its pretty sturdy.

This is the best for the stairs! It has 2 rotating brush extensions for either wide or shallow stairs, or your preference. Easily detaches, easily connects.. It is light enough in weight, that it will be fairly effortless to go up or done the stairs, doing carpet or hard flooring material. Lastly, it gets good and close on the edges next to the wall or the next step, however your stairs are arranged. I think you will be pleased, I have been! Have fun, Mark

Yes....I just used it on our stairs over the weekend. I was able to leave the canister on the stair landing and use the handheld on each stair easily as the hose was long enough. You can also use the brush attachment easily at the base of the long handle for each stair as well. The rectangular attachment easily detaches to attach the brush attachment. It was great not to have to hold our old upright on each stair.

Yes, it doesn't take much strength at all to put this up and down. As far as the heavy rugs....haven't tried that yet, but, it does hold lots and lots of laundry with no problem whatsoever. I would contact the manufacturer regarding the rugs and the amount of weight.

I assembled it up stairs, only to bring it down after two days.. It folds and wasn't terrible to bring back down.. My help was very strong.. The reason for bringing it back down.. Unless your upstairs is solid and sturdy the entire room and room below were taking a beating.. Downstairs is a finished basement, cement under carpet.. Was a much better fit. Good luck.

You can pull the unit around by the hose, and I have lifted it a few times that way, but I wouldn't yank it up the stairs and leave it hanging.
