Spring not strong enough to keep barrel erect.
My old one had a nylon bottom like the sides which caused it to disintegrate over the years. This one has a plastic bottom which makes it easy to pull across surfaces without tearing. The one thing I miss is the longer handles so if I wanted I could swing it across my shoulder and back to carry.
This is a good product. I like the fact that I can fold it for storage. I use it to collect leaves and it holds more than the trash can that I was using.
