Solid cart, just one complaint
I will skip the majority of the review, as the other reviews are covering the features well enough. It is pretty well designed, easy to assemble, sturdy, etc.
There is one complaint I have though, with this cart. The mount for the propane tank is behind the large gray plastic piece you can see in the picture. This is fine, except that this places about 1/3 to 1/4 the propane tank off the actual cart. I assume they did this to make installation/removal of the tank easier, although it seems unnecessary. It makes the tank less stable than it should be, and it increases the overall footprint of the entire unit.
Where this really gets frustrating is if you purchase the Weber 6553 Premium Cover. Because the tank sticks out the back, every time you put the cover on you have to wrestle it around the tank. There is plenty of room on the cart; they could have easily moved the mount forward so this was a non issue.
This may seem nitpicky, but I have had mine about two...
Excellent cart for a great little grill
I really like the Weber Q series of grills and now that I am on my second one, a Q200 (my Q100 was stolen) I decided to get a cart for my new, larger grill. Weber makes two carts for it, the 6507 Rolling Cart and this item, the 6508 Stationary Cart. The reason one is called "stationary" and the other "rolling" is because the 6507 folds up and includes a strap so that one can use it as a caddy for transport. Since it folds you can put it in the trunk of your car. If the folding feature is not important to you, they both function the same as far as moving them around when the 6507 is fully upright. The 6508 Stationary Cart includes a hose adapter for the 20 lb. LP tank and the other does not. It also seems better built and includes a screen that blocks the tank from view.
The cart was fairly easy to assemble, even though I hate to put things together. It took me about 30 minutes and I only used one or two bad words. I would have spent more money for a cart that had...
Go With The Stationary Cart
I was checking out the Weber Q-200 in a local department store and I was lucky enough to see it displayed on the portable Weber Q-cart. The grill moved back and forth a little too much for my liking when I checked the stability of the portable cart. So, even though I wasn't crazy about spending the extra money, I went with the stationary cart.
I am very pleased with this cart. It was easy to put together and was significantly more sturdy than the portable cart. The stationary cart is well designed and looks great with the Q-200. If your Weber Q-200 or Q-220 grill is pretty much staying put at home, bite the bullet and spend the extra cash for the stationary cart.
