Test result preview
In our practical test, the maxVitalis stair climber shopping trolley proved to be an extremely practical and useful aid for shopping or transporting items, especially in situations without an elevator. With a generous storage space of 43 liters and a multifunctional design, it offers sufficient space for shopping. The extra thermo-insulated front compartment with cooling function is ideal for transporting groceries. The option of attaching the trolley to a shopping cart makes shopping easier. The frame can also be used without a bag and can be folded up to save space. One point of criticism is the sometimes unnecessary plastic packaging, which could possibly displease environmentally conscious consumers.
Advantages
- Multifunctional design
- Including transport strap and hooks for shopping carts
- Thermo-insulated front compartment
- Very large storage space
- Water-repellent material
Disadvantages
- Too much plastic packaging

The first impression
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?

For our product test, the maxVitalis stair climber shopping trolley was delivered in the company’s own cardboard box, which was labeled with the product name and the company logo. The box was in perfect condition and could be opened easily without additional tools. Inside the box, the shopping trolley was folded up in a large plastic bag. The two 3×3 wheels were individually packed and still had to be fitted to the trolley. Another component, the transport strap, was also packed separately. Unfortunately, the use of unnecessary plastic packaging is not a sustainable solution and should be replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives.
The enclosed step-by-step instructions with pictures proved to be very helpful and easy to understand. This made assembling the wheels and using the trolley extremely straightforward.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In some cases, the fact that it is perceived as unstable is criticized. On the other hand, the practical and functional design as well as the high load capacity are positively emphasized. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the practical and functional design of the stair climber shopping trolley is well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the product’s instability was not justified.
Prices of up to €69.70 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €34.99 . The door stopper from GRAUBERG® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €54.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
