Drive Medical 10257RD-1 4 Wheel Rollator Walker With Seat, Steel Rolling Walker, Height Adjustable, 7.5" Wheels, Removable Back Support, 300 Pound Weight Capacity, Red

I have high praise for this walker. My close relative had surgery and needed the walker while recuperating. It is rare to find a product that is so execllently engineered. They really thought it through -with intuitive ease of use. It also very responsive with turning ratio. The seat is comfortable. Fabulous value for money.

Everything I have ordered from this company has been spot on, and this rollater is no exception! I appreciate the speedy delivery when ordering much needed medical equipment! It arrived exactly when promised and the packaging was excellent. The rollater is very well built and easy to put together, basically it is together except for the handles and back bar. I ordered this for my husband and as a senior female it only took me about 10 minutes to unbox and setup. The price is outstanding for what you are getting! Very pleased with all of our DRIVE purchases!

Granted, my expectations were on the lower end. This model is one of the least expensive out there.Back story: I broke my fibula a week ago and using crutches has been an agony. I’ve fallen over a few times already, that a friend suggested I buy a scooter or rolling walker. Since I did not require surgery and would heal somewhat quickly, I felt that a walker would serve my purposes better for the long term. Having a seat is so critical because of how tiring it is going from point A to B. You don’t think about it when you’re healthy, but when you get to point B you often need to sit and rest. It’s also a useful surface to transport things on, like a plate of food. Btw, I am a 55-yr old 5’2” 130lb. female.Immediate reaction: It comes out of the box 90% pre-assembled, except for the handles. Pliers help hold the screw as you tighten the plastic knob. It felt well-made and looks high end. The seat flips up to reveal the storage pouch. The brakes work well and it maneuvers seamlessly. The folding mechanism will need assistance, is a bit tight, but could loosen over time.After 3 days use: I realize that I wasn’t quite well enough for a product of this nature. I’ve been using the seat to prop my knee (like with those scooters), and while it’s perfectly doable, I’m placing much undo pressure on the palms of my hands, as you would with crutches. I can see why some walkers are designed with handles to support the forearms. It’s maneuvering and braking well, and the width of it is slim enough to easily pass through standard doors with a little thought. It’s been a lifesaver to use in the middle of the night when your balance may be off. Transporting food and drinks on the seat is so useful!Recommendations to manufacturer: the wing at the side of the handle grip (thumb-side) is helpful, as it distributes the weight of pressure on the hands. For my height I would increase its width and lift the angle slightly. The handle poles have loosened ever so slightly in its fitting (this could be due to my husband’s fear of over-tightening), so I am not sure if this is or isn’t an issue. But maybe a click/spring loaded mechanism, rather than a tightening screw, isn’t more fool-proof. The padded bar that goes across the seat (when brought forward) I have been using as a kind of handle bar to maneuver when I want to give my hands a rest. I am sure this is not its purpose, but it could be if small design changes were implemented. All this would add to cost, so maybe it’s not worth it, as the number one draw to this product is, to be honest, it’s price.Last words: if you are ambulatory, but needing a device to help with stability in the short term, buy this product! The medical stores (DME) are rip-offs! No need to pay $150+. However, do not use this in place of crutches, because you are certainly better served with a kneeling-type scooter. This is an excellent product for the price.My thoughts two weeks later: would prefer the handle grips and seat have more cushion. I use this only indoors and it’s working fine.

Very sturdy with high wheels! I'm about 222 lbs. and I sit on it in my mom's room. Very secure feeling. Easy to fold down and put into a very very small car! Easy to maneuver and pretty lightweight compared to other brands.

I got this for my sister. It looks to be well made. It requires a bit of assembly which I got a friend to help her with. She thinks it is a bit heavy, but likes it a lot. It helps her get from her apartment to her mail box and works better than her previous walker. The wheels make it easier to go across a bit of grass. Its a good vslue for the price.

This is a great scooter..! Has been very reliable, easy to maneuver and folds easily to place in car. Came complete out of the box. The storage compartment is very handy and holds a lot ! Would purchase this again and recommend..!

I wanted to share my experience with the walker we recently purchased for my dad following his knee replacement surgery. He's been using it for about 10 days now, and it's significantly aided his mobility around the house. He's approximately 150 pounds, 5’2 and the walker is sturdy enough to support him comfortably without any creaking. The height adjustment on the handles is a fantastic feature; it was incredibly easy to set up to his perfect height – taking me only about 15 minutes.However, there are a couple of areas where improvements could be made. The seat, while functional, lacks sufficient cushioning for extended periods. The leather already shows wrinkles after just 10 days of use, suggesting it might not be the most durable material. Additionally, the braking mechanism requires a fair amount of hand strength to engage effectively. If you don't apply enough pressure, you risk scratching the tires. We'd prefer a braking system that requires less force and perhaps incorporates a more forgiving design to prevent damage.Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall functionality of the walker is excellent, and we're very happy with how it's supported my dad's recovery. We highly recommend it, with the caveat that users should be aware of the limitations of the seat cushioning and the braking system.
