Test result preview
The premium shopping trolley from the maxVitalis brand is a very versatile product for transporting shopping. The 3in1 shopping trolley can be used as a shoulder bag, as a conventional trolley or as a trolley . The product’s low weight of just 2.3 kg is a positive feature. If the product is used as a sack trolley, up to 25 kg can be transported. With a capacity of 43 litres, there is plenty of storage space. Various items such as an umbrella or valuables can be stored in additional pockets. The reflective strips attached to the product ensure good visibility in road traffic. According to the seller, this is a durable product: a robust aluminium frame ensures stability and it can be assumed that the trolley can be used for a long time. Large and stable smooth-running wheels ensure comfortable transport over potential obstacles such as steps or higher kerbs. The product also has a splash guard. A particularly positive feature is the refrigerated compartment in the front pocket , which ensures that the cold chain of frozen products is not inter rupted. The premium shopping trolley from the maxVitalis brand was particularly impressive in our practical test thanks to its multifunctionality and large storage space. The packaging was slightly off-putting: the strap for attaching the bag was wrapped in plastic, which could be improved.
Advantages
- Multifunctionality, can be used in 3 different ways
- Low weight of only 2.3 kg
- Large storage space

The premium shopping trolley was delivered in a product box that is well matched to the dimensions of the trolley. The smooth-running wheels were attached to the product with cable ties. The shoulder strap of the product was wrapped in a small plastic film, so that there were slight deductions in terms of sustainability. Otherwise, only environmentally friendly materials were used to package the product.
The product includes instructions for use in DIN-A6 format. The instructions for use are written in German and other languages such as English, French and Dutch. One positive aspect to emphasise is the seller’s proximity to the customer: contact details in case of queries are provided on the front of the instructions for use.

The multifunctionality of the product is also a positive feature: it can be used as a shopping trolley, a sack trolley or even as a shoulder bag , depending on individual requirements.

The generous capacity of 43 litres in total ensures that even larger purchases can be carried with ease.
In terms of comfort, it should be noted that the shoulder strap ensures a reasonable level of comfort.
