Gator GPA720 Rolling Powered Mixer Case
Constructed from 1/2 in. plywood covered with 600-denier ballistic material.
"Good Case, Bad Handle"
Overall:
I have owned the case for almost a year now. I like the design and the sturdiness of the case but would agree that the handle is a real problem. Gator tells you not to lift the case with the pull out handle but when you are rolling the case up a ramp with it fully loaded or pulling it up stairs and the handle pulls off, that’s a problem. I would think that Gator has figured this out by now and redesigned it. The only other complaint would be that its a bit heavy, the plywood I suppose. Maybe a poly type plastic would be a better way to go. Overall I would rate it 7 out of 10.

"Case is good, handle is bad."
Quality:
The case is great, the wheels are great, the handle sucks. The one major disappointment with this case is that the pull out handle is NOT sturdy enough to hold the weight of a mixer. I have owned this product for three years and have replaced the handle twice. Last year I gave up and now carry the mixer in the case or put it on a cart. I'm presently looking for my own handle to customize and make it better, or another manufacturer with a more heavy duty handle.
Value:
The price isn't bad but I wouldn't mind paying a little more for a more reliable handle.
Ease of Use:
As long as it works, which seems to be just inside the warranty period.
Support:
They replaced the first handle free of charge, I had to replace the second one on my own due to cost of sending and returning the product for repair.
Overall:
Enough from me.
