Apologies if it's been done to death before but what's currently the best power barrow on the market ?

I sent my prestige mk8 power Porter back to angling direct . On its first and only outing it constantly pulled to the left which was a proper pain having to straighten it up .
Then to make me hate it even more the wheel fell off on the journey back to the car . Apparently that can happen due to vibration . Anyway I thought if wasnt worth the money at £950 and got a refund. I've now bought an mk4 evo s barrow and am waiting for a global angling energise kit to turn up. Very easy to retro fit and more powerful and lighter than the prestige . Due to using lithium battery . Which can have 7km charge or if you get the heavier battery 14km charge. My evo barrow cost me £260 new . The retro fit wheel £475 with heavier battery. So you get a better more powerful barrow for around £200 less than the complete prestige . Even the prestige retro fit kits cost around £750ish

If you already have a barrow check out global angling products for a conversion kit

Any chance of putting a link up for what you had to buy, I'm interested in doing my carp porter?

See if you can find a 2nd hand (or even new) Mk6 Evo, absolutely solid bit of kit. Not sure what they effed up on the subsequent versions but seems to be a case of 'if it ain't bust....", trouble is they are difficult to find 2nd hand as no one sells them
