Effective and good value.
I bought this to help with recovery from a knee replacement. It is sturdy, easy to operate, a manageable size and weight, and a reasonable price.

Great Walker
I liked this walker so much! It really helped me get around in my house during my recovery with lots of ease. It seems to be slightly a little more compact and easier to manage than bigger ones. Love the bright orange color too! Very sturdy!

My little red house corvette
I unfortunately am having a hard time walking due to a condition ( I am young). It was much better than using my cane because it even out the way I walk without favoring my good leg which was starting to hurt using my cane.I only had to put the handles on myself which wasn’t a big deal, everything came put together already which was helpful because I needed it asap and didn’t have anyone to put it together if it didn’t. I wish it was lighter but its not too bad, because its just to get around my home. Easy to work, adjustable, breaks are good, no oil change needed (Just kidding). I like that there is storage under the seat, it helpful to carry things to other rooms. Having to need this at my age is not fun but happy I got it because its a life saver for me to get around during this tough time. Maybe I will put a bicycle horn on it for fun. Gotta find the humor in having to use this walker. Price was reasonable and quality seems really good.

Great product!
I recently had foot surgery and needed something to get around my house as I could not apply any pressure to the foot for 6 wks. At 70 years of age, I knew this was going to be a struggle.The wheels on this unit roll very well. The front wheel are multidirectional; the back wheels are stationary and move back and forth. There is a note on the unit that state “Do not move rollator while seated.” I assume this is for safety. If the back wheels had been multidirectional, I would have been able to sit and move myself from room to room. I don’t know if this is the way other units work, but buyers should be aware of this.The unit only requires some assembly and was done within minutes. It’s quite substantial and I’ve had no need to worry about its sustainability. The seat could use a bit more padding. The pouch underneath the seat has been a great asset as I could throw water bottles, pens and stylus in it and move room to room. Some units had wire baskets so small items would fall out.Grab the bar under the basket and the unit can be folded down somewhat.Highly recommend and will be using again in a few weeks with another foot surgery.

It’s stable and sturdy. I’ll share some facts and tips for those …
It’s stable and sturdy. I’ll share some facts and tips for those who are considering this unit.The outside dimension from side to side, including all pieces, is about 22.5 inches. At my house, that’s narrow enough to roll into a bedroom but not a bathroom. It would just roll through the bathroom doorway if there was no door, but a standard hinged door gets in the way.The seat itself is about 12 inches square. The space between the uprights is 16.5 inches, so if you’re any wider than that, it’ll be a squeeze.Hand tightening the handles at the desired height worked okay for me, but a frail person would probably need some help.The usual guidance I’ve seen for walking aids is that the handles should rise to about the crease in your wrist. I’m 5’9″, and I had to raise the handles to their highest stable position to reach my wrist. I’ve got the handles standing 36 inches off the floor. The product specs say they can go to 37″, but I was leery of putting them any higher. If you’re a six-footer, 37 inches might not be high enough anyway.The seat is 21″ above the floor – not adjustable.The handles stand 14.5 inches above the seat, at the handle height I’m using. That might be good news for you if you’d need the support to stand up. It might be bad news if you don’t like having high “armrests” when you’re seated.The 7.5-inch wheels are pretty good at rolling over minor obstacles, but sooner or later you’ll have to lift the unit. The product specs say it’s 20 pounds. Think of it as something like a couple of gallons of a beverage, or a case of 24-ounce cans. If those are too heavy for you, the rollator is too heavy for you.The brakes work fine. Someone with weak grip strength might have trouble. You squeeze them bike-style to brake temporarily (without letting go). You push them down with your palms to lock the brakes so you can let go.The basket isn’t described in the instructions, so it took me a few moments to puzzle it out. My instructions: Insert from the front (“front” meaning the direction you’d walk in), with the two hooks facing the rear. Rest the hooks on the crossbar where the seat hinges. There’s a ridge in the bottom of the basket. Rest that on the forward lower crossbar. When it’s in position, the seat partially blocks it from above when the seat is down. The raised seat reaches down into the rear portion of the basket.You’ll need to remove the basket to fold up the rollator.There are a few other things to note about folding it up. First, the strap anchored to the crossbar is handy for starting the folding process.There’s nothing to lock the rollator into a folded position. I find it’s very eager to open back up again. I use an 18″ bungee cord to hold the folded frame together.There’s also nothing to hold the seat or backrest upright while the rollator is folded. For me, this is less of a concern than the frame opening up, but it’d still be nice if the whole thing folded up securely.It doesn’t stand upright on its own in a folded position, even with a bungee cord on the frame. That’s fine it it’ll lie flat in a car trunk, but you’d need to prop it up against something otherwise.Another thing about folding is that you’re pretty much stuck with lifting it when it’s folded. Suppose you need to squeeze through a tight spot. You can’t just roll it through opened up, so you fold it up with the intent of pushing it through sideways. Not gonna happen. The rear wheels don’t turn left or right, so you’re not going to be able to roll the unit sideways. Or suppose you want to push or pull the rollator forward while it’s folded. That’s not going to work either, because the front and rear wheels are going to rub against each other. You’d drag it more than roll it, so you’re probably stuck with lifting it.

Great Walker – But Very Petite In Size
I am 6′ tall, and weight about 130 lbs. Because I am very thin, this walker works well for me. The weight limit is not a factor (300 lbs), but distance between handlebars is very narrow. I BARELY fit between the handlebars, but I do fit. I have a Lumex walker that is WAY larger in size (made for a grown man – not petite), but also costs a lot more. This was an affordable replacement, and works well for me.Just keep in mind that this is a petite size, and you shouldn’t have any issues.

My daily walker is the best but it is large and heavy. Very well made. I was looking for something with 4 wheels and a seat that I could throw in the trunk when going to the mall, for example. This is light and so easy to use. Has a seat and a bag too. Took me a while to get the brakes to clamp on but that was simply that I wasn’t pressing hard enough.

I received the Rollator walker two days back( earlier than the expected date).The Rollator is exactly what I expected. I had some walking difficulty and I wanted to walk. The Drive rollator made it possible for me to take up a long walk. There were some concerns shown about its stability. After receiving the walker they too have disappeared. I have started using it and I am very happy.
