My good dyson DIB friend:

What you have provided is a still picture with the young lady holding the barrow up off the ground with a half load.  Add several more timbers to it and let's see her navigate the terrain, especially the wet sinky one she on.  Note the GERMAN company's modifications and new name.

Quite frankly DIB my dyson friend, I prefer this one and guess what it's only $124 at LOWES and  much cheaper than the Nubarro.  The only advantage that NuBarro can claim over the 2 wheeled barrow is that for the extra $50 the NuBarro won't go flat.   I have a hand truck with tires.  Once a year I pump some air into the tires using a $10 bicycle tire pump [which BTW I can use on all my granddaughters' inflatable toys.  Now isn't that innovative!!]

Carmine,

The problem with the wheelbarrow you prefer is it cannot be dumped and turned simultaneously.  Nor can it turn easily or navigate thru a minefield of debris which is all to common at construction sites.  I’ve never seen this style on a construction site...  ever.

You’re preference of products has no relevancy when there are plenty of others who do prefer Dyson inventions.

Relax, the Ballbarrow looks/reads like it works great and has a center of gravity not unlike popular wheelbarrows used on many U.S. construction sites.  When you post you do sound like you know your topics (the Ballbarrow topic), only you don’t.  Good effort though.

The German company used the ball only after Sir James proved it worked and proved a market for it.  His (this) invention lives on in others products.  ...So much for your failing out the Ballbarrow as failure.

Well DIB, where you stand depends on where you sit and we know you are a dyson pawn here.  BTW that picture you posted is B&W.  I understand a dyson ballbarrow hasn't been manufactured since the 70's.  Can't buy one now new. 

The two wheel barrow is a staple here in Nevada and the USA.  All hardware stores sell them.  In fact if you look at the Lowes site it's their most popular seller.  Giving better traction and manuverabilty in the sand and gravel.   Easy to dump and turn if you have the wherewithal.  Note the yoke on the front between the tires for those purposes.  Most men working construction do know how and that's how they get the jobs.  They don't give those heavy construction jobs to women who may prefer the NuBarro around their home gardens but then again only if half full.  Unlike your dyson ball barrow, the Nubarro and two wheel barrows are both currently available right now and have been for quite awhile.   

Are you sure you know your dyson products well enough to pass judgement on me?  Maybe you need a little remedial dyson teaching.  Does dyson offer refresher courses on its extinct products: Called ancient product history?

Carmine D.

Here's a self-help course for you DIB on nubarro wheel barrows.  On me.  I understand Sir James doen't get any royalties for these sales and NuBarro hasn't paid him a cent in copyright infringement.  Why would a smart innovator like James with an in-house cadre of hot shot lawyers and hired guns on call in 3 piece suits and 3 names let this company get away with this.  Even uses dyson's name.

The NuBarro: The Ballbarrow Reincarnated?

Why not fill them with nitrogen?

Excellent thought.  There's still hope for you HS.  If you jump off the dyson ship in time.  TOM did!

Note too DIB and HS that the 2 wheel barrow from LOWE's for $124 has an 8 cubic foot hopper capacity not 4 like the $165 nubarro.  So dyson product experts tell me which one is made for the heavy duty man hand hauls?

I would opt for the 2 wheel as I believe it would be better balanced.  However, anyone who has to use a light weight vacuum should consider the Ball since they likely could not handle the added load weight in the 2 wheel.

OTH, cu capacity is not necessarily indicative of max weight that either can carry.  The 2 wheeler may be less sturdy and can only haul u 8 cu ft of feathers whereas the ball may support 4 cu ft of bricks.

More dyson sugar coated bull shine.  8 cu feet of the same material is more than 4 cu feet.  So beg to differ.  Cubic foot capacity is indicative of weight load.
