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!

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:

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!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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!

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.

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!

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!

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:

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.

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:

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:

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!

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:

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:

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:

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.

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:

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.
