I've had mine for about a year. I got it due to having dodgy knees.
It's brilliant. Powerful and will take a ton of gear. All the battery life that you need and very stable.
Be warned it is big and heavy. I wheel mine on to a trailer... or wheeling straight into a van would be great. If I had to break it down and put in to a car, along with all my gear, I might reconsider its suitability.

Theyre great.
I was going to get a new one with the 24v battery but landed on a 2nd hand one at a price i couldnt refuse.
I use a small ramp and load in and out of my van.
Mine is the 12v, and its fine, powerful enough and makes life a LOT easier.
Worth every penny.

Depends how big your water is.
I went about a mile on my water through mud and it was just on the red after being fully charged. I've got the new £1000 24v one.
Edited to add: I'd say I might be able to get two whole laps of my place which is around 2+ mile when it's bone dry.

Like Geoff said they are a big unit, I wheel mine up a ramp into a trailer, but I do take some heavier items off first to avoid bending the handles.
Got to be the most stable barrow I've used, massive improvement over my MK6 12v
But if you order one make sure you get the steel front extending arms, the aluminium ones bend.
Although steel might be standard now,.
Not had an issue with battery life but furthest I've been was half a mile, but it still had 12.5 volts in it.
