Updating my review. They emailed me back and they are going to ship me the parts I need for free. I am very grateful that they are going to help.I have had this walker 6 months and the cap on the bottom of the wheel broke off. I didn’t realize it and now all the ball bearings have fallen out. I emailed the company to help BUT they said the wheels only had a 60 day warranty. They sent me 8 websites and none of them have this part. One that was close was $50 for the wheel. I could buy a new one for that price. Apparently the wheels are only good for 60 days.This is the 3rd walker I have had and never had a problem with the other two. So this one was apparently defective. They should ship me the part for free.

Thos thing is sturdy, well built, and so much easier to use for my mother with limited mobility. After knee replacment surgery and then hernia surgery she could barely get around with a standard walker. This has improved her mobility 10 fold. Worth every penny.Standard medical walker through insurance $250This rollator walker on amazon 1000 times better and on $53.99!Would definitely repurchase if needed and will reccomend it to anyone suffering from limited mobility that already uses a standard walker.This will increase your mobility, you won’t regret it.Your onky regret will be you didn’t buy it sooner!

This ‘Drive’ rollator is so easy to maneuver and is sturdy. The seat is very comfortable and when you lift the seat up there is ample room to put necessities in ( like a cell phone, a bottle of water, a blanket or jacket and much more! The front wheels turn and it just glides as you move it. It has instructions for how to lock the brake before you use it as a seat. I couldn’t be happier to be able to use it!

I bought one for my adult daughter who used it for 4 years, and then passed away. I began using it for a week . I see why she loved it. I got tired of the one the hospital sent home with me that I used upstairs and bought a second one at Galenus Medical. It came the next morning and was $23 less than my daughter’s! I love it.

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 sely.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.
