Title: Sturdy and worth the money
Review: This walker was easy to assemble and solidly built. Rolls great over most surfaces. Needs a little extra boost over threshold bumps but it is perfect for my 89 year old Mom in assisted living. Most residents have them. She walks fine but stands more upright with this and motors along faster with something to hang on to. Storage bin is helpful for mail, keys, etc. I sit on it when I visit her and it’s very sturdy. Brakes work great and lock it from rolling if needed.

Title: Nicely Made - Has Some Nice Features
Review: Haven't had this long but it looks pretty well designed and nicely made. The hand brakes and parking brakes work fine out of the box and have easy adjustment if needed. The Rollator has 7" Wheels which help go over most obstacles fairly easily. Wheels glide freely.I like that it's not real wide and that the wheels have a leading axle so it's easy to steer around things.Handles with palm rest work. nicely to spread the user's weight evenly throughout hand and wrist.The rollator is sturdy but not too heavy to lift and/ or maneuver.Fit and finish is good and both the adjustments they made before packing and the way it was carefully packaged show attention to detail.I actually purchased two, one for me and one for a friend of ours.I would recommend this handy devise to anyone.

Title: Good Quality Walker
Review: This 4 Wheel Rollator Walker is made of quality materials. This was easy to put together. The wheels roll freely without any issues. The walker can be folded for easy storage.The seat and the storage compartment are extremely handy. Brakes on both handles work well. The handle grips are contoured for easy finger placement and textured for non-slip. There's even a thumb rest on each handle. Get this. You won't regret it.Edit To Add: I mistakenly said in an Amazon Answer that the rollator does not lock. It Does in fact lock simply by pushing Down on the Loop Locks below the handle bars. I apologize for my error.

Title: Perfect!
Review: We chose to purchase this item as a return, unboxed only rather than new. The walker was in perfect condition, however there was no instruction/assembly booklet in box. Quick assembly even with no directions. Easy glide and turn with large wheels, ample space on seat. This will work well for hubby post knee replacement.

Title: Exceeds expectations
Review: Granted, my expectations were on the lower end. This model is one of the least expensive out there.Back story: I broke my fibula a week ago and using crutches has been an agony. I’ve fallen over a few times already, that a friend suggested I buy a scooter or rolling walker. Since I did not require surgery and would heal somewhat quickly, I felt that a walker would serve my purposes better for the long term. Having a seat is so critical because of how tiring it is going from point A to B. You don’t think about it when you’re healthy, but when you get to point B you often need to sit and rest. It’s also a useful surface to transport things on, like a plate of food. Btw, I am a 55-yr old 5’2” 130lb. female.Immediate reaction: It comes out of the box 90% pre-assembled, except for the handles. Pliers help hold the screw as you tighten the plastic knob. It felt well-made and looks high end. The seat flips up to reveal the storage pouch. The brakes work well and it maneuvers seamlessly. The folding mechanism will need assistance, is a bit tight, but could loosen over time.After 3 days use: I realize that I wasn’t quite well enough for a product of this nature. I’ve been using the seat to prop my knee (like with those scooters), and while it’s perfectly doable, I’m placing much undo pressure on the palms of my hands, as you would with crutches. I can see why some walkers are designed with handles to support the forearms. It’s maneuvering and braking well, and the width of it is slim enough to easily pass through standard doors with a little thought. It’s been a lifesaver to use in the middle of the night when your balance may be off. Transporting food and drinks on the seat is so useful!Recommendations to manufacturer: the wing at the side of the handle grip (thumb-side) is helpful, as it distributes the weight of pressure on the hands. For my height I would increase its width and lift the angle slightly. The handle poles have loosened ever so slightly in its fitting (this could be due to my husband’s fear of over-tightening), so I am not sure if this is or isn’t an issue. But maybe a click/spring loaded mechanism, rather than a tightening screw, isn’t more fool-proof. The padded bar that goes across the seat (when brought forward) I have been using as a kind of handle bar to maneuver when I want to give my hands a rest. I am sure this is not its purpose, but it could be if small design changes were implemented. All this would add to cost, so maybe it’s not worth it, as the number one draw to this product is, to be honest, it’s price.Last words: if you are ambulatory, but needing a device to help with stability in the short term, buy this product! The medical stores (DME) are rip-offs! No need to pay $150+. However, do not use this in place of crutches, because you are certainly better served with a kneeling-type scooter. This is an excellent product for the price.My thoughts two weeks later: would prefer the handle grips and seat have more cushion. I use this only indoors and it’s working fine.

Title: Very comfortable to use
Review: Before I had hip-replacement surgery, my doctor recommended that I buy a walker because, the first week after surgery, moving around is very difficult. Also, you'll want to take short walks around your neighborhood and this walker will glide on the sidewalk with you taking some of the stress off of your hips as you walk. This walker also has a storage bag where you can put a few things (towel, keys, cell phone etc) and it even doubles as a seat.It's also very comfortable to walk with because it has 4 wheels, instead of 2 or none, and it will roll along with you as you walk. So, you don't have to stop with every step to move the walker. It also has a brake on the back wheels which helps when you want to take a short breather. It keeps the walker still so you can brace yourself on it.Something to note:Your doctor will not like this walker. The problem with it, as they will explain, is that it is unstable when walking up/down stairs. And the doctor is right.The brake is on the rear wheels. Going up the stairs, you will be using the free-spinning wheels for support on the stair above you and the walker might move, causing you to fall. Or you might slip and try to support yourself with the walker and have it roll out from under you.However, I had no trouble with it at all. In fact, I found that getting around the house was much easier just using my cane. But this walker was EXTREMELY useful on my evening walks around the neighborhood or to the pool for hydro-therapy.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
