Close. Had the Easy Base and the soft bag version, not the hard box. Only used it a couple of times, as we ended up getting a bigger car, but yes, it worked for us. Main bug bear was that, as we had it on an Astravan, the bag had to be emptied and flattened to get the tailgate open, so I guess the box will need to be removed to get most boots open?
After we changed car, we put the bag in storage, and continued to use the base with 2 x cycle carriers on. Again it was good enough, but as we only had need for a cycle carrier by then, we upgraded to a tilting one, which is now ideal for us, as we don't have to remove bikes to get our tailgate open (on Kia Sedona).
The Easy Base is also a little on the heavy side, or at least when compared to our tilting bike carrier... but it can be carried/loaded/affixed etc by one person, of course.
I suppose for a bike carrier, there are better out there than the Easy Base version, but of course, if the main reason is for extra storage, then from what I was looking for at the time, the Easy Base with hard box would be hard to beat, with the bag offering a more affordable option. It does what it says on the tin, and certainly if you have a boot rather than a tailgate, then I reckon you'd be on to a winner!
