Customers say
Customers find the cup holder works well with wheelchairs and handicapped people, and appreciate its capacity for longer walks. The installation process receives mixed feedback – while some find it easy to attach to walkers, others report difficulties. The fit and size also get mixed reviews, with some saying it’s perfect while others find it doesn’t work with their walker or is too big for the cane holder. Moreover, the product lacks instructions, and customers report issues with sturdiness as the cup holder keeps falling off.

For wheelchair usage, lots of patience might be required.
I got this interesting set of pieces for my Drive Poly-Fly Wheelchair. And I am adding them to my arm-rests, with them being forwards and their sides still on, because they are my first and most trusted “carriers”. ;)The Good stuff, that cup-holder makes a fine, flexible “bumper”, it is very durable work. And it just “barely” fits my favorite mug and it seems to “cling” a bit, to the bottom, and that could be an interesting “hidden benefit”? 😉 (BTW, what size is that cup-holder nut? I’d like to try something to improve rotating it, more freely around an arm-rest’s bar.) Here’s an obvious “benefit”, those two big and smooth openings provide a pretty decent large “hook shape” that holds the handles of a plastic bag to carry some of my stuff or a small but hot TV dinner. ;)*** AND has anyone ever thought of making special mugs for this work? Something with a safety-top for incline problems, possible spills and HOT STUFF protection might be EXCELLENT!!! ***The upper “clamp” cane-piece snaps onto my fold-able cane, nice and solid. But it takes a bit of force to clamp it onto the larger upper-section of my offset cane. (I hope, I don’t break it. 🙁 But thanks for those rubber pieces. One of those does help to lock your clamp onto a slightly curved section, fairly nicely. )((( So, for now, I have the cane-clamp above my side-plate and the cane Velcro-strap above that as a needed “safety piece” for more needed street-security? (btw I used 2 of those large sizing-pieces fastened tightly within the clamp, so I can swivel it away from my seat. The strap swivels naturally enough.)*** To Medline, the strap could use about four or more inches of Velcro to increase safety.And adding a snap to it, that snaps onto a special double-sided female-coupling, replacing the current one of course, might be some of the BEST SECURITY that I can think of? 😉 ***And the cane’s base piece is under the metal foot-rest piece and since it is offset to the inside, from the rest, I left it to free-spin, so i can still use it, for adjustments and hide it.)))BTW, those two cane-pieces, the lower “base” and that upper “clamp”, will rotate 90-degees on their axis, when you pull them out, a little. And another missing detail in Amazon’s pictures, is a 12-point star pattern for the cup-holder’s bolt to rotate and lock into, when it is all tighten.

Works great just like the Medline walkers.
The Medline cup and cane holders have been great on my dad’s Medline walkers. He just got a second Medline walker and the nice thing is that these accessories are apparently universal to fit on any model of the Medline walker. The first walker came with both of these accessories and the second only had the cup holder, so I wanted the cane holder as well. My dad loves the cup holder and uses it a lot. He always has his cane strapped in so that he can use it when he parks his walker somewhere, like in a restaurant , etc. and just wants to use his cane for shorter distances. Medline is a great company. When I called to make sure these would fit his new walker, I got an answer on the first ring. I trust the safety of the Medline line of products, which is my number one concern when it’s come to medical devices. It makes me happy that Medline products are also reasonably priced.

No more spilling drinks on my rollator platform!
The cup holder works great! I got tired of spilling coffee and soft drinks on the platform of my rollator, when moving it from place to place with a meal on a plate, on the platform. With two cutouts, the cup holder works great with coffee mugs, as well as drink cans or water bottles.The cane holder has three pieces – though I find myself using only two at a time. There is a small “foot” platform that will support the bottom of most canes; my son installed it as low as was possible on the rollator folding frame without interfering with the front rotating wheels. There is a rather firm, snap in clip that we mounted up higher on the rollator frame; getting your cane actually in the clip can take a bit of hand strength, which might be a problem for some folks. The third piece is a plain strap that has a snap, and a wraparound piece of velcro. More often than not, I find myself using just the “foot” platform and the velcro strap, to hold my cane onto my rollator.I have to remind my husband to be careful with these attachments when he folds and unfolds my rollator for car transport. So far, nothing has been bumped – to be broken or chipped off.The one downside of these items is there’s no written instructions, or step-by-step photos to guide one through the installation process. On the box, there’s a photo of the installed cup holder, but nothing to copy for the cane holder parts. Thankfully, my son likes to tinker with gadgets, and figured out how to install the various parts with a little trial and error. There are shims that can be used to help adjust the tightness of the attachments, but we only figured out what they were for and how they worked, by playing with the pieces for a bit.

Poor customer support and limited cane size
I liked the perceived quality of the item, but one of the star screws to attach the cane holder to the walker was missing. I called customer support and was told they had no replacement screws available, that I should go to a hardware store to get a screw. Of course I could not have been able to find a screw with the plastic handle to install it. On looking again at the cane holder I realized that the top part of it is not adjustable. I have a wooden cane,(which i like) and it would not fit into the top part of the holder. I also have a walking stick which also would not fit. I guess it’s designed for only on size cane.It seems that the product is well made but lacks something in design, packaging and support.I resent having to go through the trouble of calling Amazon to make arrangements for returning the product, packaging it up and sending it off. It’s a shame because with a little extra effort it could have been a nice product.

Cane holder doesn’t easily attached to the rolls or keg
The cup holder was fine. Unfortunately, the hardware provided for the cane holder did not fit the rollator leg. The bottom had to be secured with a zip tie.

Good products, but only 4 stars for the fact that there was no clear detailed instructions in the box. Just two photos on the outside of the box with the word “Instructions” beside them, odd.So took bit of time to understand what all the tiny parts were for.But besides all that, works great. Gonna order another for my wheelchair.

Je peux maintenant me déplacer avec mon déambulateur et avoir ma canne bien à porté de main.

Well constructed overall except the upper cane holder diameter too small for most canes. Cane Will snap in but requires more than acceptable force to secure!
