Comments about PotLifter:
This is one of the most useful and best tools I own. We move plants in and out with the seasons, and it has made the job soooooooo much easier. I wish I had found this years ago. Can't recommend it enough.
Comments about PotLifter:
This is the best garden tool I've ever bought! I have a Meyer Lemon tree that has to be taken in for the winter and it has always been a struggle. With this clever pot lifter, two of us were able to carry this pot through the house, down the back steps and into the garden with no trouble at all. What a great back saver!
Comments about PotLifter:
easy to use
Comments about PotLifter:
This is a must have product for anyone who takes plants back and forth from inside during cooler months to the outdoors for the summer. I wish I had something like this years ago, my back would have appreciated it.
Comments about PotLifter:
As an older gardener, moving heavy things has become a little more taxing on me. This product was very helpful when I purchases a tree in a 20 gallon pot. We moved it with ease using the pot lifter.
Comments about PotLifter:
We've spent the last few weeks getting our yard ready for a party and the potlifter made the job of moving heavy planters a dream!
Comments about PotLifter:
With my Husband's help, I can now EASILY move the very heavy ceramic pots so typical on patios in the Southwest. For example, pots with evergreens which can take full sun exposure in the wintertime, can now easily be moved to an area with filtered light for the summertime when the full sun is too hot.
Comments about PotLifter:
I actually had an object that was not a pot to move. The pot lifter did just what I needed it to do,
Comments about PotLifter:
Haven't found any negatives. Probably won't use this product often, but when needed, it is great.
My wife & I, both having touchy backs, can move large pots in the garden very easily. Also, it makes moving large, sharp cactus (I have several)much less painful!
Overall, great product.
Comments about PotLifter:
This product makes moving my ornamental pots a breeze!
Comments about PotLifter:
I ordered the pot lifter as a gift for a friend, only to find out she had ordered it also. I have many big colorful pots that are heavy and difficult to move - this will make it a much easier task.
Comments about PotLifter:
I bought the Potlifter specifically to move my large jade plant from my bedroom (over winter) on to the patio. It worked like a charm. It was easy to assemble and made a very difficult job of moving that plant every easy. Money well spent.
Comments about PotLifter:
The PotLifter is a handy, strong device which really works very well when it's necessary to move very large pots containing, for instance, a large Ficus benjaminus. My 85-year-old husband and I moved the monster ficus without any trouble form one side of our patio to the other.
It's a strong, very useful device: easy to use and very practical.
Thank you!
Comments about PotLifter:
great for lifting large pots.
Comments about PotLifter:
I use the pot lifter to move several large and very heavy potted plants from the patio to the garden shed (and vice versa) throughout the winter. I live in the south where winters are mild so plants only have to be indoors during really cold snaps. This pot lifter makes it very easy to move all the pots and it really saves your back from bending over too much. The shed is quite a distance from the patio and moving the pots without this pot lifter was always a huge pain, but now it's a piece of cake!
Comments about PotLifter:
We have struggled every year to move our large sun loving plants to the patio for the summer. It had become a feat of strength and balance, the PotLifter made it manageable and stress free. Thank you.
Comments about PotLifter:
I have wrestled with my large clay pots for years, moving them in and out of storage, usually on plastic sleds - one of us pulling, the other bent at an awkward angle trying to steady the pot over uneven terrain. I store them full and they are heavy. No more - the pot lifter allowed us to stay vertical and move them safely.
Comments about PotLifter:
We have a bay tree growing in a pot since it is not hardy in our growing zone. In the past my wife and I have nearly killed (or at least seriously injured) ourselves moving it in and out of the house.
This fall, thanks to the Potlifter, we had absolutely no trouble moving indoors! It was exactly what we needed for this task. I highly recommend it!
Comments about PotLifter:
This is a back saver. It requires two people to use it, but that is a plus.
Comments about PotLifter:
The PotLifter makes it so easy to move heavy plants! It is easy to adjust to fit any size pot and is easier on the plant than using a wagon or dolly as there is no banging around; just lift and walk! We moved four ten gallon camelias to their permanent homes in our yard with no backaches or mishaps and in a record amount of time!
Comments about PotLifter:
Every Fall, we move the plants in the big pots in doors to survive the winter. The lime tree is especially heavy and this saves my husband's back. It was easy to use.
Comments about PotLifter:
we use it to move a 5' Cascading Lavender tree all around the patio and into the heated garage as it is a southern tree and cannot stand our cold IL winters. So thankful for it.
Comments about PotLifter:
We just moved a large potted plant indoors and it was a cinch with the PotLifter. Frankly, I'm not sure how we would have moved it without this
product. Absolutely, love it.
Comments about PotLifter:
This is great for moving large potted plants. The label states it is also useful for moving other large heavy objects, but it only works on objects that have a small base relative to the top. Had it worked for other items, I would have given it 5 stars; as it is, it'll only get used in the spring and fall when i transfer my plants in or out.
Comments about PotLifter:
We bought the pot lifter at the Seattle home show and highly recomend it!!
We have HUGE 40 year old jade plants we like to move out doors in the spring and bring back indoors in the fall.
With out the pot lifter we would have to hire them to be moved. My wife and I can do this moving ourselves, in-fact we just did!
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband and I have struggled for years to bring into the house our Hibicus that is in a huge container. This year I told him we were buying this product and it was the best thing ever. Not only carried this planter but several others without any struggle. Easy to use, built very sturdy.Would recommend it to everyone.
Comments about PotLifter:
We have a number of very large house plants (like a grapefruit tree we started from seed 30 years ago)that we like to put outside for the summer. It has been getting harder and harder to move them, until we got the potlifter, which makes it SO easy.
Comments about PotLifter:
Great for moving clumsy, heavy pots, etc.
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband thinks this is the best and he'll find many uses for it!

Comments about PotLifter:
Haven't tried this yet but I hope it helps me to get a huge rock out of my drainage ditch. I'm waiting for a second able-bodied person to be around to help me.
Comments about PotLifter:
As we age, we try to simplify our lives and depend on products that make our tasks easier. This product is just that! It helped us move our larger indoor and outdoor planters with ease to locations suitable for the next season at no risk to our backs!
Comments about PotLifter:
What a cool design. It's easy to use and makes light work of heavy plants.
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband and I have wrestled with many objects that are hard to get a handle on when they need to be moved. This makes those jobs a matter of team work rather than a stressful situation.

Comments about PotLifter:
Looking to transfer some larger rocks in our landscape, which we lifted 12 years ago with ease. As we age, it is hard to lift heavy things. [...]we have not used it yet as the area for the rock(s) are not ready Appears to be what we were looking for.
Comments about PotLifter:
My son and I used it last week to move a large potted plant. It's simple to use and made a task that's usually difficult much easier.
Comments about PotLifter:
Made it easy to lift a heavy pot with two people.
Comments about PotLifter:
I have a huge potted plant that I fight each fall to get into the garage, saw this product and thought, okay, this might work. In the meantime my Mom needed a crock (well over 130 lbs) moved
from the basement to an upstairs location. Last year two men were not able to handle the crock but this year with the pot lifter......up the stairs the crock went!!! Wonderful.
Comments about PotLifter:
This product is the best back saver, so long as there are two of you!
Comments about PotLifter:
At the advise of a friend I ordered the pot lifter and found it easier and more convenient to use than our ball cart/hand truck. Perfect for moving pots under 100 lbs, especially if steps are involved.
Comments about PotLifter:
I grow many plants in pots and realized that my upcoming apartment move was going to be a challenge in the plant moving department. Fortunately, I found the Potlifter which made the job of relocating my pepper and tomato plants as well as pine and citrus trees, a breeze. My buddy and I marveled at how much easier this made the job. If you have to move large or medium sized potted plants around, I highly recommend this product. I expect I will get years of use from it.

Comments about PotLifter:
Something tropical plant lovers in New England deal with (painfully) is seasonal movement of many heavy and sometimes, large pots...that typically require begging the reluctant spouse to help or move for you. This is one gimic that works! Even my husband said, "Wow!" ...after moving my large potted Key Lime tree with no effort at all, when he used to labor over that and dread it. I bought it because other gardeners rated it well, and they were right. Great price too. Sturdy material and a cinch to quickly get it around the item to move and off. I love the little storage bag too which keeps it tidy to keep in my sunroom for immediate use. This IS a 2-person item. This item makes the spouse more apt to help. Excellent! A must-have basic tool.
Comments about PotLifter:
Weight training has taught us to lift smarter! The PotLifter has made it possible for my husband and I (in our late 50's/early 60's) to move huge and heavy pots on and off our deck. Even moving the pot up and down the deck steps was easily done. During transplanting, we use the PotLifter to carry the larger plants to their new home. We'll be giving The PotLifter to our gardening friends and family.
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband and I are older and this is just what we need to help move my heavy potted plants. You should advertise this product on the front cover of your catalog.
Comments about PotLifter:
We have several big plants (palm trees, hibiscus trees, alvocado tree) and previously used a hand truck to move them in and out for season changes. We also have some large pots in our koi pond. This pot lifter is so easy to use and we can actually lower things into the pond (rather than break our backs trying to hold the pot over the edge). Great invention!
Comments about PotLifter:
this is a great idea and great product. It took three of us to get it out of the packaging, but that accomplished... I'm happy to have it.
Comments about PotLifter:
great
Comments about PotLifter:
Simple concept that gives great results. Our backs thank the inventer of this wonderful product.
Comments about PotLifter:
I don't often buy useful items mostly decorative items. This one is a real keeper. My husband & I are able to move around large pots with ease. Good investment on my part. Great item!
Comments about PotLifter:
We used the pot lifter this spring when we were transfering our large plants outside. It was easy to apply to the pots and made moving the heavy palms a breeze. A great idea.
Comments about PotLifter:
makes moving potted plants so easy
Comments about PotLifter:
This is a great product. I second the positive comments made by others. In addition, it comes with a prominently labeled storage bag so it's easy to find in the shed after months of storage.
Comments about PotLifter:
Definite back saver as well as time and temper!!
Comments about PotLifter:
Easy to use and makes moving large pots much easier on the back.
Comments about PotLifter:
One of those products that sits in on the shelf until needed. But when you need it - it works Great!! Saved our backs on moving plants. Then we tried it on a few other things and it worked just as well.
Comments about PotLifter:
I fill an average of 20 pots - most of them too big to carry once potted - each spring and overwinter many of them in my 10'x10' portable greenhouse, in my garage, or in the house each winter. It isn't possible to move most of these pots by myself and my family members dread pot-moving time twice a year. I've even hired the local nursery to come and move some of the bigger ones. The POT LIFTER was obviously designed by someone who understood the need for it to be adjustable to fit many sizes of pots and for it to be sturdy to stand the test of time. This gardening tool has been the best addition to my supplies since self-watering pots! It was given to me for Mother's Day and we moved all my pots in 20 minutes without any strained backs or smashed toes, and without disturbing the plants. It is amazing!
Comments about PotLifter:
We have 2 huge plants in pots that I bring in each winter. My husband and I struggle lifting and getting through the door. The potlifter works great!
Comments about PotLifter:
We bought the PotLifter to move a heavy, 35-year-old Jade plant from inside the house to outside and vice versa. We found that it also works for a large bear carved out of a tree trunk that we needed to move. No more sore backs from moving them.
Comments about PotLifter:
As an aging gardener (indoor and outdoor), I have found moving large potted plants to be a challenge! With the PotLifter my husband and I were able to move my large, heavy indoor plants out to the patio for the summer without any back strain at all! The plants were not damaged either! The PotLifter was EASY to secure safely around the pot. No assembly was required! I love the red storage bag that's so EASY to spot among my gardening equipment! It take 2 people to move the heavy pot with the PotLifter, but now that the job is so EASY, I don't mind asking for help! I can't believe that I have never seen this product in any retail store!
Comments about PotLifter:
Love this. I have several large ceramic pots that are really hard to move. This makes moving them easy for two people.

Comments about PotLifter:
Moving empty pots with the pot lifter is easy. Getting the pot lifter over a pot filled with plants is very difficult and inevitably leads to plant damage.
Comments about PotLifter:
great for lifting heavy pots when you have a helper.
Comments about PotLifter:
Holds the planters steady while you move them
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband and I both have significant back problems and this took a dreaded job and made it child's play.
Comments about PotLifter:
I have some large heavy pots that have to be moved seasonally and this worked great! My husband and I had no difficuties figuring out how to use it. Made moving the pots a piece of cake!
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband and I (in our late 60's and 70's) used this product for the first time and saved our backs and arguments. Over the winter, we place our potted palms and Hibiscus' in our basement(which is equipped with timed growing lights). They are quite heavey and bulky to transport upstairs during the spring. However, the pot mover enabled us to carry these large, heavey, plants upstairs and out to the yard with very little strain on our backs and relationship. It does have a learning curve, e.g., the tension on the pulling straps and the placement of the plastic grippers around the pots -- but we got the hang of it by the second pot. We highly recommend this product.
Comments about PotLifter:
Made lifting my large potted plants a breeze. My husband & I carried them to the upper deck no problems at all. No back pain or strain.
Comments about PotLifter:
It made moving the big concrete and ceramic pots from the garage to the deck much easier. The two of us didn't have to bend over or worry about our grip.
Comments about PotLifter:
This product is easy to use and saves your back.

Comments about PotLifter:
Had to wait to comment until we got around to moving our garden pots outside. Wow, was this ever a help. No more struggles, losing grip, or aching backs. Thanks to the designer.
Comments about PotLifter:
My husband moved a medium sized pot by himself.
Comments about PotLifter:
We had to really wrestle with some large pots that contain seasonal trees last year when it was time to bring them inside to protect them from the New England winter (hibiscus, lemon, tropical house plants). This worked beautifully when we brought them back out for the spring/summer. You still have to be strong, but the adjustabiity of the girth and the ease of lifting with it allowed us to move everything back out without any ibuprofen at all!
Comments about PotLifter:
Lifting heavy pots and containers and moving them from place to place. Very clever tool , but needs 2 people to do the job.
Comments about PotLifter:
The pot lifter replaces our old cumbersome hand-truck for moving plants in and out of the green house. My husband's back is most relieved!!!!
Comments about PotLifter:
This is a handy thing to have.
I can use it by myself on some plants.
It's well made.
Comments about PotLifter:
I can now move heavy plants indoors or out and not killing my back
Comments about PotLifter:
Love it!
Comments about PotLifter:
If you have any pots to lift this is just what you need!
Comments about PotLifter:
Pot Lifter has helped us move large potted patio trees. It makes that much easier. Only a tad difficult to connect the strap, but overall it's a great product.
Comments about PotLifter:
The pot lifter made it much easier for my husband and I to move all of our pots around our patio--even the pots with water reservoirs. We both have aging backs and it is more important than ever that we use our back with care. The pot lifter distributed the weight nicely.
Comments about PotLifter:
My ficus tree has grown so large that my husband refused to move it outside in the spring. Thanks to the pot lifter the ficus is happily living outside during the spring and summer months.
Comments about PotLifter:
moved huge pots planted with trees & wet with rain. Did the job well.

I have several large potted pants on my deck of various sizes and shapes. This tool makes them a snap to move. I also use it to move large rocks in my rock garden.

Comments about PotLifter:
It kept the pot level while moving it inside the house. Did not have to remove any of the sea shell from around the base. When using a two wheel cart dirt was always spilled. No dirt hit the floor using the lifter.

Easily moved very heavy plants. Worked great to two people that have very bad backs and very large plants that needed to be moved into doors for the winter

Comments about PotLifter:
I have a jade plant, more like a jade tree, that we move outside for the summer. Now weighing about 70 lbs., it was destined to be left outside this year as my husband just cannot lift it anymore to bring it back into the house. I ordered the pot lifter and VOILA, the jade is back inside for another year. It was so easy for the two of us to maneuver.
I also have a friend who enjoys building rock walls and I plan to get him one for Christmas.

My husband had his doubts about it but once we used it to bring the oversized flowerpots he was glad I purchased it.

Comments about PotLifter:
The pot lifter is the greatest invention since sliced bread! Easy to use, and a great back saver. We move many plants and empty pots indoors in the fall, and back again in the spring, and my husband usually had to find someone to help him, but not any longer! Even with major back surgery, I can help him. Thanks for a great product!

Comments about PotLifter:
My husband and I are getting older and it's harder to lift heavy pot. I do alot of container gardening and have to move pot in and out of the house spring and fall and the Pot Lifter is really helpful. I'm really glad I bought it.

Comments about PotLifter:
We use this device to move large potted plants, but I'm sure I'll find more uses for it. In a household run by two humans with bad backs (and cats who don't seem inclined to help with lifting), the Pot Lifter is a useful tool.

Comments about PotLifter:
I got this potlifter to mover my tender plants and tropical indoor during the fall. I love how easy it is to use. There is a 13 inch discrepancy in height between my husband and I and yet we were able to use the product to lift large pots. We also noticed that we could use it to lift heavy rocks too. What a great bonus!
The biggest drawback is that you cannot operate it by yourself.

Comments about PotLifter:
I am an avid container gardener living at Lake of the Ozarks where each fall I move over 30 containers of tropical plants into my greenhouse. I finally ordered the pot lifter after forgetting to order it last spring. It was exactly what we needed to lift the large containers onto my tree dolly and into the greenhouse. It is easy to use and makes easy work of a difficult task...lifting containers of large plants. I am giving this to my gardening friends for Christmas this year.

Comments about PotLifter:
It makes mooving potted plantes around easier and safer than just manhandling them.
