Title: Works fine, although hand grips smell like sunblock lotion :-\
Review: This walker is a real life saver. I was given crutches after a leg injury, hated them. The walker works much better.It's easy to live with, folds instantly for stowing in the car back seat or trunk. Perfectly solid and stable when opened/locked.My only slight beefs are 1) it's a bit crreaky in use, and 2) the hand grips impart a smell similar to sunblock lotion to my hands. Neither issue is close to being a problem. The price is good, I highly recommend this if you need a walker.

Title: A Second Life
Review: I bought this for my dad. He has an artificial hip, and at 64 y/o, he fell and wasn't able to walk at all. I bought a used walker and it works perfectly fine. My dad's update since I purchased this 3 months ago: He's perfected using it to go up and down 4 steps from our house. I've even seen him walking unaided in his bedroom. My dad says "Man, this walker is a life saver".

Title: Nicer than our old one
Review: Needed another upstairs. This is nice and seems sturdier than the one we got originally from doc's ofc. Hubby has balance issues so a wheeled version wouldn't work for him. As others have commented, it's a little stuff when closing it up, but certainly not very hard to do.

Title: Just what I need!
Review: I ordered this to use to help me walk into the water at the lake to go swimming. I have mobility issues and I don't want to take my rolling walker into the water where it can rust. This will assist me into the water at waist deep to allow me to swim from there.I found it sturdy and easy to adjust and easy to fold up . It's very lightweight but it says it withstands up to 350 pounds. It actually helped me to stand straighter than my rolling walker does.

Review: I had a hard time finding a place around here that sold walkers for heavier set people. Reasonable price and Amazon was the cheapest by far and they delivered to our door to boot.Basically this walker is helping me learn how to walk again and a sturdy support for me when I'm out and about..

Review: I'm 6'4", 240lbs. At first it felt and sounded solid. It easily supports my weight and it's wider;nice for big people. Now, a month in, it creaks! Metal on metal. I can feel it , too. Like it's going to crack. I checked it over and there's nothing wrong with it. I just get looks from people at times because it sounds like it's moaning in protest!The rubber feet or "tips" wear right through! I only noticed after the walker slid out from under me when I was on a tile floor. I also noticed my wood floor had all these dents and gouges afterwards. Now I know why!I contacted Amazon, on hold right now, to see if they can send me replacement feet. I bought 4 feet for $15cad. Through Amazon, then I did the math; I will spend $15/month to replace the feet. My leg requires at least another surgery so I plan on using this walker for a total of 2 years. That's about $300 in replacement feet!!!So far, 21 minutes on hold.Fingers crossed people.*Partial refund of $23. because they don't supply parts! Their 90 day warranty is not really a warranty, I suppose.

Review: Bought this after the term expired on the Invacare bariatric walker we had on loan from the Red Cross. It is noticeably lighter and flimsier than the Invacare. The snaps that are used to fold it seem kind of weak. I had to buy the wheels separately. which added greatly to the cost. It was delivered very quickly, which was the only reason I bought this one. Some of the others on Amazon.ca were taking 2 to 5 months to arrive, which is just not acceptable. It has a 500 lb capacity posted on the machine. Hopefully it will perform as needed. I also bought the Medline Walker skiis for it initially, which fit perfectly and were a lot cheaper than the Drive Medical ones. The Nova Medical cane holder fits on it as well.
