I have this one, and the single wheel in the front gets really annoying. The smallest debris will stop it from rolling. Unless you have an extremely clean workspace, stay away from this type.

I got a low profile one from Harbor Freight, and it works much better. $89.

Mine is like that one

I'll take the twising lifting/lowering lock mechanism over the front wheel freaking out. It does stop spinning, but it's rather easy to pick up when trans porting to where you store it because of the handle. I live in an apt building, so it's better.

I got it as a gift :hs:. It's been used about 50 times with no problems thus far.
