Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Perfect size for our small SUV, (Hyundai Tucson). I'm sure there's an MPG loss, but it's in the noise and less than running the air conditioner. It's reasonably sturdy, unnoticeably quiet and has a couple of spring loaded devices that hold it open. From the pictures, I expected something a little more "squat" but it's "right" for the car and easily sits far enough back to nominally fit the aerodynamic profile of the car, such as it is. Doesn't look as "dorky" as some of the others on the market. It's also light enough that I've been able to hang it on the wall in the garage.
The pleasant surprise is how roomy the carrier is, more than I imagined.
I'm not to crazy about the "universal" mounting system that hooks to the roof rack crossbars. It's solid, but has four knobs that stick up into the carrier. It's just a little crude, but effective and in most cases wouldn't be a purchase decision factor. I'll probably cut some bolts to the proper length and install self locking acorn nuts, but that's just personal preferance and would work since I leave the carrier mounted on the crossbars even when it's off the vehicle. If you're mounting to factory crossbars, the Thule system works well, though you'll probably want to install some thin padding on the metal hardware. Also a small handle on the top at the back would help to open it and I may add one. One person can place it on the vehicle, and though it's light it's a little awkward and much easier with two. When I install it myself, I put a packing blanket on the roof rack first to protect the surface of the car, then slide it out from under before tightening down the carrier.
Comes with a 5 year warranty too. I missed that in the product info.
