Verified purchase

I paid almost $12,000 for a Cater Pro and the cart has not been operational for 1 day since I purchased it over 1 month ago. Dealing with Bens's Carts was a HUGE mistake. Dont, mistake all their internet marketing and down-home southern schtick as anything but an attempt to separate you from your money. Cheap, cheap construction. Panels falling off on the drive home! 1 or 2 screws in the sheet metal where there should be 4. On day one there was an explosion and the cart caught on fire because the griddle connection was counter-threaded. Once Ben sells you the cart he is non-existent. He will not return calls or emails. The wheel was not designed for the weight of the cart and kept going flat so I had to rock the cart to get it rolling on a square wheel. The hot water heater has never functioned and the battery died after using it for a couple of minutes. Their one-year warranty consists of them giving you instructions on how to disassemble the cart and put in new parts to replace the brand-new parts that are defective, They canceled my membership in the Facebook group Vendors United because I tried to warn new people not to purchase their carts from Bens Carts. If anyone else has gotten ripped off like me please let me know-I would like to participate in a lawsuit so that this rip-off does not happen to them. They refer to themselves as "The Hot Dog Mafia" I should have known better, run away from this company. If I could have left no stars I would.

Tip for consumers:
They are a complete rip-off and I would never purchase from them. If you are looking for a food cart, buy local so that if there are any issues you can bring it back to get fixed. RUN from this product because it is such shoddy construction, You will be trying to fix a lemon and it's not worth it. Don't be fooled by all their marketing. They are not members of the BBB. There are no reviews on Google, they make it impossible to leave a review on their website. Looking for out-of-town suckers.

Products used:
Nothing works, cant use it yet.
