 Excellent product February 7, 2008
I have been using the rollator walker for two months now, and everything about it is excellent. I'm up for hip replacements and couldn't get around without this most days. It's very high quality, with many great features:
- wheels roll very smoothly over a variety of surfaces
- excellent stability
- basket handy for carrying items, though I find that I often use the seat itself as well for larger items or things that might spill if I didn't keep my eye on them
- brakes work great and lock (for sitting) and unlock fairly easily
- sitting is pretty comfortable (bar in back could be a bit higher, but does not adjust); seat is a decent height and easy to rise from, especially using support of handles
- I haven't tried folding it up, so cannot speak to that
- handles even have a wide flange that lets the pad of your thumb take some of the pressure for those times you need to lean on it a lot
On top of it all, it is actually pretty snazzy looking (I got the red), making one feel just a tad less inadequate for having to use it.
The only downside at all is that it is just a smidgeon too wide to get through bathroom doorways (why they are narrower than other doorways has always puzzled me).
All in all, it is a very fine product at a very good price. I highly recommend it.
Nifty Rollator December 7, 2007
I love the rollator...it makes my entire house accessible to me. Actually, I bought two of them..one for the second floor and one for the basement. I already had a third one that I use on the first floor and when I leave the house. It is sturdy, easy to fold up up, and allows me to walk without pain.
Without the rollator I would be nothing but a "couch potato" but with it I can go just about anywhere I want and live a fairly normal life....without the pain in my back that occurs if I try to walk without support. Is the rollator for you? Try this simple test....When you grocery shop, do you find it much easier to walk if you have the support of the grocery cart? If so, you will love the rollator, because it offers even more support, due to the fact that it has hand brakes and gives you more control. Also, having a seat where you can sit down and rest is an extra, added, bonus.
rollater November 24, 2007
This walker/rollater is an excellent aid for one of my elderly relatives who is homebound. Now she can go to the store, church and the movies, too, in comfort and in confidence that she will not fall.
 Rollator Walker review November 15, 2007

Overall I was pleased with the walker purchase with the improved backrest on the walker compared to the last time I purchased this walker and as shown in the pictue. I was however dissapointed that they changed the brakes on the walker. I was buying this walker because I did not destroy the brakes easily with this brand but the new brakes I will distroy rather quickly.
Outstanding - but check with your health care provider first November 12, 2007

This well-made product is great, but for my mom, because it moves so easily on wheels, and you have to be fairly alert to work the breaks, her therapist had me send it back, and get another type. But, I see many people using this type, and this one is well made. It does take a little more space when folded up, than other types, though.
