The Dimono® shopping trolley is a versatile everyday companion. With a volume of 56 litres, it offers generous storage space for all kinds of shopping. An integrated cool bag keeps fresh produce cool and is ideal for transporting sensitive food. When folded, the trolley can be stowed away to save space – a plus for every household.
The ergonomic handle and smooth-running wheels are particularly comfortable, making it easier to pull and push and taking the strain off your back. Thanks to the water and dirt-repellent material, the contents remain well protected even in bad weather. Additional safety is provided by reflective strips that increase visibility in the dark.
The bag is detachable so that larger loads such as crates of drinks can also be transported. The trolley offers clear advantages in daily use thanks to its stability and flexibility.

Packaging and contents
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 shopping trolley was delivered in a product box that is well suited to the dimensions of the trolley. Inside the box, the shopping trolley was folded up in a large plastic bag. The two wheels were also packed in the plastic bag and still had to be fitted to the trolley using the nuts and bolts supplied. The appropriate tools for fitting were also supplied. Another component, the transport strap, was also included in the plastic bag. Unfortunately, the use of unnecessary plastic packaging is not a sustainable solution and should be replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives.
Instructions for use were not included in the scope of delivery as the product is self-explanatory.

Our practical test shows that the Dimono® shopping trolley fully fulfils the manufacturer’s specifications.
The wheels were easy to fit and, thanks to their large and robust design, provided a stable ride even on uneven surfaces. A thorough visual inspection of the wheels revealed no signs of wear or material weaknesses, which speaks in favour of the quality and workmanship of the shopping trolley.
The maximum load of 30 kg specified by the manufacturer can easily be utilised without any loss of stability.
We were also impressed by the storage space : it corresponds exactly to the manufacturer’s specifications and enables optimum utilisation, particularly thanks to the easily accessible and practical compartments and the cool bag.
Cleaning is easy and effortless thanks to the water and dirt-repellent material, and no residue was visible even after repeated use. The height-adjustable handle offers a high degree of adaptability and enables comfortable use for users of different heights. Furthermore, with its practical reflective stripes and detachable bag with carrying strap, the trolley offers additional safety and comfort features that make it ideal for use in changing weather conditions.
The Dimono® shopping trolley is a well thought-out, robust and versatile solution for everyday use that impresses in all tested aspects.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €59.80 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €37.90 . The Dimono® shopping trolley is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €39.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
