Had my carp porter mk2 around 10 years not used much these days. But a great piece of kit. Balance it up correctly and its so easy to use. Cant see how it could be improved on.

Good thread this as I'm looking to upgrade my MkII CP. Bought a van recently so now I want a power barrow, although it's inconclusive as to which is best given all of the varied comments. Great to hear all the opinions so thanks to all who have contributed. As I had a CP barrow I'm leaning that way. One unappealing thing that stood out in the Nash Trax review from The Average Angler is all the wires for the batteries. Seems like someone needs to come up with a smart battery version, similar to when Carplounge made the step up to smart batteries in their V4 product.

Youll see my review below and the differences Ive found between porter and Nash so you know Im genuine - Ive just won a raffle and won another Nash Power barrow brand new in box £600 may be a price point that should tempt anyone pm me - its just gone on classifieds

Wires on Nash can be easy to damage as the clips are tight on the terminals - if you push your thumb and slide them off then its easy! Other than occasional battery recharges I leave mine wired up and only remove the handles to load the car - tippex on the controller / handle connection makes this easier to do and less likely to bend pins. I did a review on here when I bought mine almost 3yrs ago - its a great product IMO and I'd never go back to pushing anything ever again!

I bought a prestige mk8 power porter in 2022. The frames are pretty flimsy.
The rear axel snapped on both sides due to poor welding.. i had it welded but it then pulled to the side so ended up buying a new rear axle.
This week the front struts that house the front extension collapsed. I sit my main bag on the extension. The metal just split on both sides. Its such thin metal. I was taking it across a rutted farmers field and it didnt like it.
I expected to get it welded but found you can actually buy the frame for £75 plus postage.
Im hoping that the frames a little stronger under korda but not sure it will be.
When your paying a grand (more now) the quality really should be better. Compare to a fox explorer frame which is solid.
On the plus side you can buy every part that fails on the barrow !!
