Great walker and I loved the pop of color on it!
Although I already have a four-wheel walker, I was going to have total knee replacement and doctor wanted me to have a walker with 2 wheels, not four. I really like this one as it was easy to use, simple to fold away and it has a pop of blue on it which makes it look a little more “fun” than the old aluminum ones. I especially liked that I could adjust the height of it, so I could stand upright and not be “hunched over”. I had many compliments on it at the hospital, at physical therapy, and when I am shopping. It may not sound like much, but when you are already having some trouble getting around and you’re feeling “old and out of it” it’s nice to have something that looks a little classy!

This is the one you are looking for. Order it!
I have dealt with two aging parents and several surgeries of my own, including joint replacements. The ease of use for this walker make it the best on the market. After using 7 different walkers in our home over the past 6 years, I can assure you that this particular model is better than all the others. It is large enough for a big guy like me (6’2” 300 lbs) and small enough for 5’3” 140 lb mother. It is about 3 inches wider than the cheap ones that home health agencies provide. The lever closure is so much better than those nasty pinch tabs that will hurt your hands and are famous for drawing blood. I’m not kidding when I tell you to buy this walker above all others. The price is right and the product is sturdy but light for the elderly. Being able to open and close it with one hand is such a great feature.

If you or a loved one need a 2-wheeled walker, strongly consider this one!
I needed a 2nd walker and settled on this one because of the 2-triggers that fold up the walker so one doesn’t have to push and press in both sides. Walker chassis is sturdy, legs click in easily, nice sturdy well-made wheels and holds up to 300 lbs of weight! Good value for the money and I like the blue color! Thanks DRIVE and Amazon! 🙂

Not a good Walker for outdoor use, Great for indoors.
I have had this walker for a year. I like the light weight, easy open/close, it is sturdy and nice looking. I have received many compliments on the look of this walker. My complaint (reason for the four stars) is that the wheels are too small. The wheels get stuck on every little rock/pebble on the sidewalks and parking lots. I am constantly having to pick up the walker to lift over the tiny (and I do mean TINY) rocks and cracks. If you plan on using it for outdoor strolls or to run errands, do not buy. Get another one with bigger wheels. If you plan on using this walker inside only, it is a great choice.

Sturdy, Stable, Solid, Secure, Safe
The abstract artistic design of the front crossbar is very attractive, with metallic green highlights, but it is otherwise just cosmetic. The walker itself does contribute to the safety of the person with limited mobility (and in comparison with my previous walker of a different brand). I like the folding design with release handles that operate like bicycle brakes. The only design difference I made was by mounting the front wheels inside the frame rather than having the pointy hubs and wheels on the outside. It’s merely a matter of choosing how to insert the adjustable legs with wheels…either according to the illustration or opposite. The reason I placed the wheels inside the walker frame was to reduce the overall width of the walker. With the wheels mounted outward, I continually scraped the pointed “hub caps” against door jambs. Since my feet do not get placed against the front wheels anyway, mounting the wheels pointing inward reduced the overall width without reducing function. Overall, the walker despite its lower price than other brands, though it’s not the cheapest, is highly satisfactory, especially since it’s much lower in price than my previous walker of a different brand, which became so unwieldy and unstable for its loose joints that this walker lent me immediate security.

Very useful during Gout attacks
I’m almost 42 and have been getting gout in my foot since I was 29. As I’ve gotten older, the more frequently I get attacks. Over the years, people have donated crutches to me and at one point I was handed a scooter to where you could rest your knee on. The scooter is probably the best to use, but this walker beats using crutches if you get an unexpected gout attack in the middle of the night and need to use the bathroom, but can’t walk on your foot because there’s so much pain when you put any kind of pressure on it. It’s lightweight, easy to assemble and foldable. On the days I can walk on my own, it helps this is lightweight and foldable that way it’s not in the way and easily stowable/accessible next to my bed. This thing can take my body weight, on average 200 lbs while I can only use one foot. It beats trying to hop around on 1 foot around the house any day.

Sturdy and fancier than the hospital version. Easy to use out of the box – no assembly. Only complaint is I wish the back legs had a protector on it so it doesn’t scratch the floors. I ended up using furniture leg stickers and it worked fine. Otherwise a very good product – recommend for sure.
