IMLEX
Foldable handcart

The IMLEX handcart is a versatile, foldable trolley, ideal for family outings and outdoor activities. Thanks to its spacious loading space, comfortable sun canopy and robust frame, it offers a reliable solution for numerous areas of use. We were particularly impressed by the high load capacity and easy handling. The ergonomic design, including a length-adjustable pull handle and a height-adjustable push handle, makes it comfortable to use. The handcart is also very safe thanks to its reinforced floor insert and 3-point harness system. However, we are critical of the quality of the tyres, which could show weaknesses with intensive use. Overall, the handcart offers excellent functionality as well as a high level of comfort. Nevertheless, an improvement in tyre quality would have been desirable. Despite minor flaws, the IMLEX handcart impresses with its well thought-out design and user-friendliness.

  • Versatile in use
  • easy to manoeuvre
  • Folds up to save space
  • Ergonomic design
  • No information on sustainability
  • Tyre quality could be better

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The first impression of the IMLEX handcart was extremely positive. The product was securely packaged and arrived without any scratches or soiling. This shows that the product is absolutely protected. The sustainable packaging is particularly praiseworthy. The manufacturer has dispensed with unnecessary packaging waste, which emphasises an environmentally conscious approach. The package contains all the individual parts of the trolley, a practical carrying bag and detailed operating instructions. The operating instructions are available in several languages and are very well written. It contains clear and informative pictures that make it easy to assemble and use the handcart.

On first contact, the IMLEX handcart impresses with its appealing and simple design, which is both visually attractive and functional. The workmanship of the product is of remarkably high quality. The precise manufacturing details and the solid construction speak for careful production. This quality is also reflected in the high stability of the handcart. It offers a robust and reliable structure that can withstand full loads and intensive use. Despite these positive aspects, however, there is a lack of information on the sustainability of the product. In times of increasing environmental awareness, a more transparent presentation of the ecological aspects and the materials used would be desirable. Overall, the IMLEX handcart leaves a strong first impression due to its aesthetics, workmanship and stability, although clearer communication about the sustainability of the product could contribute to further improvement.

In the practical test, the IMLEX handcart proved to be a consistently positive product. Assembly was simple and straightforward, which reinforced the positive first impression. The trolley is easy to pull and push, while the sun canopy is simple to assemble and disassemble. The seating comfort deserves special mention. Our little test passenger really liked the seat, which guarantees the necessary safety thanks to a seat belt. In terms of load capacity, however, the handcart had one limitation: with a maximum load capacity of 80 kilograms, it offers space for around four crates of beer, which is somewhat less than other handcarts. Nevertheless, the IMLEX handcart carries the weight reliably and without any problems. The handling of the trolley is excellent. It is very manoeuvrable and has three parking brakes, which ensure safety, especially on bumpy surfaces. A long-term test is still pending, but the results so far largely confirm the manufacturer’s advertising promises. Overall, the IMLEX handcart delivers a convincing performance in terms of structure, design, comfort and handling, although the maximum payload remains a minor point of criticism.

The maxVitalis guest mattress is a foldable folding mattress that can be used in a variety of ways.

Whether as a single bed or travel bed for camping, there are many different options. The product is also designed in such a way that when folded it can also be used as a flat stool or disc cube .

The product is a single mattress with a total height of 8 cm.

The product consists of a 100% polyethuran foam core, the cover is made of 100% polyester. The latter can be detached from the foam core using a zip and the mattress cover is machine washable up to 30 degrees.

After use, the mattress can be easily folded up again, making it very space-saving and easy to take with you when travelling. The mattress can be fixed together with Velcro after folding.

The guest mattress impressed with its comfortable sleeping surface in the practical test. The flexibility of the mattress, which can be opened and closed to provide a single or double sleeping option as required, can also be emphasised positively.

Overall, it is a high-quality and well thought-out product that is also OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified.

The product was delivered in a large brown cardboard box, which is relatively well adapted to the size of the guest mattress.

The mattress inside is not additionally packed.

The product was folded into a cube to save as much space as possible in the packaging.

Instructions for use were not included, but this is not absolutely necessary as the product is self-explanatory. However, an enclosed small flyer, for example with brief information on the product and care, would have been a good addition.

The light weight of the maxVitalis guest mattress is immediately noticeable. This makes it easy to take the product with you wherever you go.

The design is very appealing – the cover is completely in dark anthracite. This gives the mattress a modern yet high-quality look.

The workmanship of the product components is good – the Velcro fasteners hold well and the zip for closing the cover is also stable.

When you touch the product for the first time when it is folded into a cube, you quickly notice its high stability.

In terms of sustainability, the seller does not provide any more detailed information, merely stating that the product was manufactured using “chemicals that are safer for human health and the environment” (OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100).

The mattress cover is made of 100% polyester – a more natural and sustainable option, such as cotton, would be preferable.

This product was subjected to a practical test in the form of an overnight stay in the living room.

As soon as you sit down on the mattress, you notice that the foam core does not give way too much and is also pleasantly soft and therefore very comfortable to lie on. Even after lying on the mattress for a long time, there is no back pain.

With dimensions of 120 x 95 cm and a thickness of 8 cm, the guest mattress is ideal for one person.

When you turn or move on the mattress, there is practically no noise, which makes lying down and resting more comfortable.

The product is also impressive in terms of practicality: after use, the mattress can be folded and stowed away in a matter of seconds, making it very easy to handle.

The versatility of the product should also be emphasised, which is partly due to its well thought-out dimensions. The mattress can be used both as a guest mattress in the home and as a camping companion, as it fits very well in vans or camper vans, for example.

Overall, it is a very practical product for everyday use that fulfils its purpose perfectly.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. In some cases, the filling of the mattress is criticised for being too soft. On the other hand, the pleasantly comfortable lying surface, which also makes the product suitable for two people, is emphasised positively. In our practical test , we were able to confirm that the guest mattress is very practical and comfortable enough to temporarily accommodate guests on due to its foldability. Consumer criticism could not be substantiated in the practical test.

Prices of up to €79 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €42.99 . The maxVitalis guest mattress is therefore currently in the higher price segment with a price of €69. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
