Basic Rollator

It was easy to put together. I like the fact Medline has colors. My 1st rolling walker was green but the brakes after several repairs couldn't be repaired any more, so the walker would slip on me and I wanted a green walker to replace what I had to differentiate between my 2 rolling walkers. I keep a blue one in my car at all times to use for shopping when needed. So far the new green rolling walker's brakes seem to be doing just fine. The new green walker is already been the "work horse" of the 2 walkers. I use it to carry things around my house and I use it to sit when needed.

The handles where you put the brakes on. I've put things on the hook under the handle but things tend to fall off, until I get used to it. That hook area may need to be curved up more. The back rest doesn't fold up. It has to be removed after folding it up to put in car.

I bought a green Basic rolling walker to replace a previous green rolling walker of 9 yrs due to brakes not repairable. New one working great.

Relatively inexpensive, but rolls easily, has brakes, seat and small under-seat basket. Height adjustment is easy to use. Small so fits down halls, in bathrooms and along side the bed. Much better than the two wheeled one the insurance authorized.

The brakes are wonky, instructions are included to adjust, but they are not bad enough for us to try and adjust them. The under-seat basket is flimsy, we have to keep redoing the velcro straps that hold it in place (make sure not to put too much weight in it).

Good brakes. Easy to assemble and use.

I don't use the storage compartment because it is hard to get to.

Love my Rollator. So much better than the 2 wheel walker given at the hospital. Easy to use and steer. I highly recommend it anyone having trouble.

Light weight and ease of storing in the trunk.

It comes equipped with 6 inch wheels. I would prefer the larger wheels. You would not upset me if you added a cup holder.

george g. from lompoc, ca

I am a male, 86 in June, who purchased the rollator hoping to motivate me to walk more, since I have back problems and weak legs.

Light, easy maneuverability, doesnt take up a lot of room we have a big rollator for times that my husband needs to sit for periods of time however that one can be bulky inside our small house. We leave the big one in the car for outside or longer trips and use this one in the house for getting to bathroom etc.

None -works well for heavier people for times when space is a concern. Good additional rollator for us. Different equipment for different situations can be very handy.
