   Just got this today & have only walked a bit, but so far I’m living this. Came 2 days earier than expected,packed very well, easy to assemble. Very sturdy & love the design. Arms tilt forward slightly, rather than level or back. Though that confused me it’s amazingly comfortable. Heoght adjustments are perfect for me – other brands were always slightly too high or too short. The arms are also slightly closer together than others I’ve had, & this is much better this way. Plenty of seat for a wide man like me. Came away from walking with no pain compared to others I used before. Very nice.

   Bought this for a Mom who “Doesn’t need help”, and who can criticize anything under the sun that you buy. Well, she fell in love with this walker after only a few minutes. Getting the right height and angle of the handles is critical! Though one setting might feel good, make sure you try multiple adjustments and you will find one that’s perfect.It’s a little tight going thru a bed/bathroom doorway, but makes it just fine with a little practice. The key selling points (for Mom)are the upright position vs the hunched over traditional walker, and the maneuverability. It turns 180 degrees as naturally as turning your body.I wish it came with a basket to carry items around the house with. You can be the judge of how useful the included bag is, depending on your routine.The build quality is quite good. Materials are strong, and edges are rounded. Assembly (yes, there’s a small amount) was very easy, and parts fit flawlessly with no modifications. The unit folds with just a pull on the seat. Opening it and locking/latching the seat however is harder. But, I consider it a good thing. It locks tight and secure with no play in the mechanism.Key selling point for ME? Less than half the price of the upright seen on TV, with equal or better quality/value.And the safety factor vs the old unstable walker, you cannot put a price on. Just seeing the confidence in her face frees me from worrying about her falling forward as with the old one.All in all a great product, and an even greater value. If you can’t decide among all the uprights as I did, make this one your choice.

   Today was the first day I used my new Elenker. My son put it together (mounting the wheels,etc). It went together fairly quickly. The Elenker folds up easily, fits in the back of a Dodge Caliber (with the seat folded down). I started out using a cane (1989), then to 2 canes (2015) due to a serious blood clot(secondary artery in my left leg that was blocked from my pelvis to my ankle. I lost stability as a result). 2 Canes became a better alternative over 1. Unsteady on my feet, etc. I’m almost 63, lots of health issues, 6 autoimmune diseases, Rheumatoid Arthritis, degenerative joint disease, connective tissue disease. (Rt hip replaced, and need a knee replacement now). I’ve been in pain since I was 6y/o (spent 4 1/2 yrs on crutches due to avascular necrosis). So I know a bit about canes, crutches, and wheel chairs.The past year has been a hard year and my canes were no longer providing stability. Using 2 canes to walk, a rolling type walker looked to be a better alternative.I could unfold it and fold it myself with 98% ease. My son loaded it and unloaded it with little effort. To me, it seemed to have an operational curve. I had some trouble getting through doorways that had a raised threshold. I thought, with big wheels I would have no trouble. Going over them, I had to lift it just a bit.I liked the ability to rest my arms, no stooping.I had only one issue: The arm rails were a bit wobbly side to side. We checked all the screws to assure that wasn’t the problem.There was a bit of a learning curve. I recommend you don’t put too much trust in the arm rests until you’ve had time to get your brain used to the feel of things.For the fiirst day’s use, I believe it went well, The Elenker gave me better support than my canes did. I don’t regret buying one. A good pair of supportive shoes helps too. I got a pair of shoes that have these air pockets in the soles. All adds to the effectiveness of the Elenker walker.
