At first we were unsure whether we pneumatic tires or standard tires (these are plastic wheels with Weichplastik- "tires") should take. The hotline of Andersen answered our request in this regard immediately and in detail, and we did, taking the standard wheels with ball bearings. Plus for good counseling hotline!
The material of the tires is not with the hard plastic of other manufacturers comparable, it is soft, absorbs very good (especially when loaded) and not bumps. Not even with rough pavement. A curb of 15 cm can be overcome loosely (carefully). This is also because the wheels size will bear the. We strongly recommend the large wheels of this model. Another advantage over pneumatic tires is that there can be no plates. The wheels run "like butter" and the shopper can be drawn with minimal effort, especially what my wife very much welcomed.

As we approach 53 years feel quite young and correspond most shopper type "Oma`s checkered Hack Porsche", the choice fell on called model.
We like to go shopping with the shopper and find that it fits in well with us.

The volume is absolutely sufficient for our purposes. Initially we shoppers seemed very big, but we now appreciate the great capacity and take advantage of the well off. One drawback with absolute full load is that the lid is not going to completely close (the cover-plates are then upwards) and during heavy rain water can penetrate. But one has to really grab shoppers brimming what is so often the case.

The chassis is beyond all doubt, stable and yet very light. You can also pick up the bag and then has a hand truck for transporting 3 drinks crates.
There is no rickety attachments and the grip is very ergonomically designed. Very good workmanship without sharp corners and edges with good tack for larger men's hands. The slope of the handle is not tiltable and non-adjustable. Since my wife with only 155 cm height is much smaller than I, an adjustable hand grip would be desirable. I am sure that the Andersen engineers would fix the in the usual quality without the shoppers too heavy would.
The frame width is pleasant, not too narrow (tilting tendency!) And not too wide (train doors, narrow aisles at the grocery store).
The bag is just great, cooler bag inside (we use very often), to 2 different large outside pockets with zipper. The bag material can maintain very good and is very robust. Even fierce bump or scratch the material withstands without damage.
We would wish reflectors sides and back (although the pocket strip in reflective color is the UMN but are not as effective).
Inside the bag auswischbar.
The bag can be easily removed and worn (2 nylon handles) by moving a bar.

The bag is generally well water protected ("Hydro" is the well-expressed). When fully loaded to the brim may possibly rain penetration (see 3.)
6 .:
The large wheels, a small centrifugal force, water and dirt results in not splash on the legs / clothing. The model with fenders is not required for pedestrians and is also wider.
to 7, 8 .:
Bags available. Side 2 small networks (eg umbrella).
Overall, a highly recommended, stable, thoughtful and modern shopper, we would buy us time and again.
