Well just joined a 40 acre pit, my old prestige evo got me round but I was sweating like an Iraqi bus driver after reaching the furthest point.
Saw a big chap with the mk7 Power porter and he made it look so easy.
He said it was best kit he owns and he's mate owns the Nash and wants to trade it now for the
Prestige.

The bloke in that video is full of crap to put it bluntly. I have the smaller Nash Evo Power Barrow & loaded up + my wife (who is not the biggest of people at 5'2" & 9 stone) sat on top of it, go up a steeper hill than he was demonstrating without any issues whatsoever. Tried the same with a friends Power Porter & it still done the job but was not as easy as the Nash one. The Power Porter with the triporter legs on it was not as well balanced as the Nash one with the rear wheels on. Most probably because of the lower centre of gravity on the Nash barrow. I actually managed to tip over the Power Porter a couple of times with the same load on it.
Most of the time you are not going to be using the barrow with the rear wheels on the floor unless you are walking it along a tarmaced road/pathway. With the height of the Carp Porter being higher, that means more lifting is required to get the wheels off the ground to go round corners etc. Much easier to do with the slightly lower handles on the Nash.
Horses for courses & I know people that have changed from Power Porters to the Nash barrows & also those that have bought the Prestige barrows purely because that is what they have had in the past.
EDIT: After posting this, I went out to the garden & set up the Metro Power Barrow with the rear wheels set to highest setting. I am 6 foot tall exactly with a 32" inside leg measurement & normal length arms (most off the shelf rods will fit perfectly butt end to armpit when holding reel seat). The handles on the Metro Power Barrow were literally touching my finger tips with my arms straight. Took a very slight knee bend to take hold of the handles & straighten to lift the rear wheels. That to me is the perfect height as pushing the barrow with straight arms taking any "weight".
I also took a look at the thumb control & to push that off with a "slide right" is going to take a lot more force than any body with a sane mind and not looking to out & out break it, to have it "spring off".
At the end of the day the only people that can be disappointed with an item is the person that has paid for it or has to use it. What is good for one person may not be for the next. I absolute hate Delkim alarms with a passion due to too many issues with them, but if others like them and want to use them, I am not going to stand there & tell them not to use them.

Prestige customers service is shocking at best and they are far cry from the quality they used to be 20 years ago!
I have a mate that has the prestige power port that broke on the welds the same happened to Greg Ellis and left him stranded around the North Met... Not what expect from a £700 barrow...
I have used Nash custom services a couple of times and they always went out of their way to help even when I was at fault.

Phoned them all times I contacted them spoke directly with Kevin and others on customer services really helpful on all occasions. I also had issues with their Salt products at one point and spoke to Gary and he made time to resolve the problem as well.

Every company I have spoken to about a problem with one of their products have been fantastic other than Delkim & Deeper. Both companies fob you off telling you that it is because you are not using it right (I have been doing IT & electrical engineering for many years before the people behind the phone lines were even thought about being conceived!). Almost every person I speak to regarding the products faults have had the exact same issues, which either nobody knows how to use something or there is an issue.
Most of the time, results depend on how you speak to the person at the company. If you speak to them like they are one of your mates down the pub with a curse word ever other breath then you are not going to get far with anybody in life! If you over exaggerate the issue or add things in to the problem 9/10 times you will be caught out & then remembered by the company for trying to pull a fast one. If there is a genuine issue with a product, every manufacturer should be more than welcoming to resolve the issue (Delkim seem to think that water ingress through a battery cover on a £120+ alarm means that you should spend another £15 per head on a screw on back plate or use electrical tape - which is what they told me to do!).
Have to admit although I use only a small number of Nash products (barrow included) nowadays, if I have had any issues, they have been first class in resolving them with no or minimal fuss.

I must admit the same......every time I've contacted Nash they have been extremely helpful (tension bar for TC Pro , elastic repair kit, replacement clear window etc...) if a little slow answering emails (3-4 days) but to be honest if its urgent email is NOT the thing to use

How refreshing something actually useful about the product for once, thanks for posting.

I have found with the Power Porter, when using the back wheels you have to load it the opposite way you would a normal barrow otherwise it will tip i.e. concentrate the weight at the rear rather than the front, it is then very stable. I use the wheels when 'off-road' and find you just sort of shuffle the back end a bit to get it to go where you want, no need to lift unless you are doing a sharp turn. As far as build quality goes the bloody thing is built like a tank and only comes out when totally necessary.
