Title: Replaced a Steel Rollator
Review: Had a very nice steel (HEAVY) rollator and passed it on to someone in need. Was shopping for one for a petite elderly aunt (92) and came across this LIGHT WEIGHT rollator and decided to give it a shot. Arrived yesterday and was just as advertised - light weight. Easy to assemble and attractive to look at. Since we were not particular about the color (a smokey blue) it was under $70. Supports weight up to 250 lbs and has a nice little carry pouch under the seat. Couldn't be more please with this purchase!Update 10/29/24: Just bought a 2nd rollator for a friend with Parkinson's Disease who is having some balance issues. She LOVES it, LOVES it, LOVES it because it is so light and has a small footprint for "tooling" around her house. She also loves the under seat storage. I made her a tote bag to tie onto the front too.

Title: Perfect!
Review: I absolutely love this walker! It was super easy to assemble but also feels extremely sturdy (I’ve been using it for a few weeks now). I’m not a small person but this walker still supports me well. My favorite thing about it is how lightweight is. Out of the 4 rollators I own this is the only one I can get in and out of my car without assistance (and I have 9 fractures in my pelvis and spine on top of other issues). It weighs just a touch more than my regular walker (simple metal frame with no back wheels that was given to me in the hospital). This rollator is also narrow enough to fit through doorframes that my other rollators can’t. I 100% recommend!

Title: Light weight
Review: I just started using it so I'm no expert.PROS:I like the fact that it is light and relatively easy to lift into my SUV.Easy to manuever and the brakes work well.Cons: The instruction manuel is poorly written. I wish it would fold up smaller and stay folded up.

Title: Safety at its finest
Review: Best purchase I have made in quite some time. This was easy to put together and lightweight enough for me to put into and take out of the car. It makes me feel safe and independent again.

Title: Chair Walker
Review: I ordered this for my aged mother. It was very easy to put together and adjust to the perfect height. She is small at 4'11" . The tray is a plus and the tires work well indoors and outside. It is sturdy, easy to walk with and provides her the security of having a place to rest when she needs it.

Title: Should Have Left Well Enough Alone
Review: I first purchased this 11 lb. walker in 2015 to take it traveling to Europe and it worked great. I was able to get a lot of use out of it but I did wear it out and wanted to purchase another one for an upcoming trip. Unfortunately, the company made changes to the design that I think have made it less user friendly.l. The bar with the foam rubber that acts as a back brace when seated, used to be movable which allowed it to be also be used to carry it over one's shoulder to go up and down stairs, etc. The bar is no longer movable. The immovable bar now makes it very hard to use it to carry the walker. Perhaps the bar was not made movable for this purpose but it was an added benefit of it moving. The bar being unmovable also makes the seat get stuck behind it. The seat is a little too big to not get stuck behind the bar.2. The immovable bar also makes the walker unable to fold up as tightly as before, for transportation.3. The way the older model folded up is you had to lift the seat up and grab hold of a handle inside of the seat to fold it up. The newer model has a new under seat bag that can be zipped up to help keep the contents in so that if it is zipped up you cannot use the handle inside. There is now a strap that is attached that is unclear what the use is for. The only use I can imagine it has is to fold up the walker instead of using the handle inside of the seat, but it does not work effectively for that. However, whether using the strap or the handle within the seat, the walker is not able to fold up very tightly.To summarize, the older model of this walker worked great for me and now that I have purchased the newer version, I am disappointed in the changes that have been made to it. Perhaps there are some reasons I am unaware of for changing the design that have some logic. For me, the whole point of purchasing an extra light walker is to make is easy for transport. Not only should it be lightweight, it should also be easy to carry, easy to fold up, and also fold up tightly for transport, like on a plane. The changes that have been made do not address these factors very well especially, compared to the older model I first purchased.If the manufacturer happens to read this review I want to say I was very happy with the older model and would give that model five stars. The only thing I would change with the older model is to add some kind of Velcro straps that can be used to help keep the walker folded up. Even though the older model folded up more tightly, it did not stay folded up on its own. I resorted to using a bungee cord to keep it folded up. Thank you.I would give the older model a five star rating, If these changes that I state here do not matter to a person, I would highly recommend this walker. It is really lightweight and the price is right! Buyers, make sure to take note of the price differences depending on the color chosen.

Title: Love this walker
Review: Things I like: it weighs 11 lbs; it fits into my Encore; it maneuvers easily; easily adjustable for height to walk and sit; the brakes work well;Issues: the basket that comes with it is flexible so it collapses when the walker is folded. Not very flexible for other items. There is a strap that hangs underneath the seat that seems to have no purpose. I’m considering cutting it off. When folded, the legs don’t collapse well, but I’ve learned to deal with it.All in all, I highly recommend it. I am small stature and particularly weak with poor balance. This walker has bought me more time of independence and I can take it to the next level of care, if needed.
