So many great features!
I love this rollator!! I chose this one after comparing so many different brands & styles. The one that I first decided I wanted wasn't available for shipping until December, and -- since I was ordering in September, and needed a walker asap -- that was too long a wait.My main criteria for choosing a walker was lightweight, 8" wheels, a seat that would accommodate 300 lbs. (I weigh less, but just in case), easy to fold, easy to assemble, and some sort of storage bag. This rollator not only fit the bill, but also has a cane holder, which helps because I have to walk to get into the car after loading it into the trunk. I've added a drink holder (sold separately by a different company). It also has little pedals behind the back wheels to help lift & push it over curbs.I watched both videos -- assembly & a man using the rollator. The assembly was even easier than shown, because the handles were already attached. It took me about 20 minutes to fully unpack and put it together. It's pretty foolproof. One tip -- if you are trying to raise the handles higher, don't use brute strength (which I don't have). Just push in the little button and then lift the handle & rollator, and let the weight of the rollator pull the handle up to the next level. I wasted a lot of time and strength trying to do it by muscle instead of the easy way.One of the main reasons I chose this, after my first choice wasn't available, was because it folds like an accordion, not like a folding chair. If you watch the video of the man using it, you'll see that you can vary the width of the rollator, while still using it for support, by closing it just a little. This has already come in handy, as I'll mention below.I did have to practice with the rollator, going back and forth on my porch, to build up stamina. I had been using two canes to walk, and this has me moving differently, and more fluidly now that I'm used to it. I was surprised, though, that it used different arm muscles, and my arms got very tired at first.Recently, due to family health problems, I've had to do a lot of walking at a very large hospital. The first few times there I used my canes and it was so exhausting. Yesterday, for the first time, I used the rollator and it was a completely different experience. Not nearly as exhausting, even though I must have walked about a mile during the course of the day. The storage bag holds a LOT, and comes off so I was able to fill it the night before, after putting the rollator into the car trunk ready for a 4 a.m. departure to the hospital. My husband just carried the bag out to the car, BUT once we got there and re-attached the bag, he didn't have to carry anything.During check-in, my husband was able to take the single seat and answer questions, while I was able to sit next to him on the rollator seat. I also was able to use the seat to hold his bagged clothes and transport them, once he got undressed for his surgery. With the canes, I couldn't carry anything in my hands; I used a backpack in the past, but it was very awkward putting it on and off. This was so effortless. I actually took a little walk voluntarily around the hospital floor, because it wasn't tiring. Also, the seat is wider than it sounds like it is, and there's extra room between the seat and the handles. I'm rather wide, and can sit comfortably. It's not padded, though. If I knew I would be sitting on it for a long time, I would pack a towel or small throw in the bag, to add padding to the seat. The brakes have a "parking" mode (push down to lock), which holds the rollator completely steady for sitting and standing back up.About the flexibility. When I had to use the bathroom at the hospital, I already knew that it was an older bathroom, down a narrow corridor. But when I went in, it turned out that the handicapped stall was out of order. I was able to slightly fold the rollator, so that it wasn't as wide, and then back into a regular (narrow) stall. It was crowded in there, but I could use the toilet and get back up without a problem (the door of the stall did open outward, so that helped). For anyone with wide enough halls, but narrow doorways, this might be a useful feature.Also, I haven't had to use it outside in the dark yet, but the bag has reflective tape around the front and side seams, and there are reflectors built into the back frame legs. For anyone needing to cross a road after dark, or who walks for exercise early or late, these are very nice safety features.If I think of anything else, I'll try to post more, but I am in love with this rollator more than I thought I'd be. Also, I'm not that strong or steady on my feet but can lift this easily enough to load it into the trunk of my sedan. It's clutzy, but definitely do-able.Hope this helps someone!Edit: I've been using this rollator for three years now, every day, and it still works well and looks brand new. I'm only adding this update for one small thing that bothers me, but might not be a problem for anyone else. The rollator has little bars that come out by the back wheels, and are there to help tilt the rollator up onto curbs. I've never gotten coordinated enough to use them, but they might work. But what they also do is "roll" over my toes. This is probably because I am on the heavy side and also walk with a wide stance. After I've "run over" my toes a couple of times, I remember to keep my legs closer together. But if I could take the ends off (which could possibly be done) I would do it, as for me they serve no purpose and they're irritating. But I do want to stress that that's my ONLY complaint, and I've gotten more than my money's worth and am very happy.

Sturdy, nimble, light - peace of mind for elderly parent
Bought this for my 78yr old mom when she came to visit from across the country. Osteoporosis has her hunched over, and always concerned about falling and breaking a bone. We wanted to take her to a botanical garden with a nature walk (sometimes dirt path, uneven trail) and this was the right tool for the job. She was independent, without needing someone's arm to hang onto the whole time. She liked the ability to rest on the integrated seat. She used the cupholder for a cup of hot cocoa... even with the travel lid, you can imagine it sloshed while she moved about the uneven trail. Probably should have a sealed lid, or screw- top beverage container. It did allow her to use both hands on the handles when on the move, so even with the sloshing, the cupholder is helpful. Easy brake use. Wheels navigated the uneven dir walking trail just fine. Not amazing in deep soft gravel, but there wasn't much of that. definitely recommend. Would buy again.

Awesome product
I bought this for my mother. It is very durable easy to fold up. It’s slightly heavy for an elderly person to put it in their vehicle on their own, but still worth the purchase. My mother used it every day.

Practical and sturdy, but a little tippy
At age 87 I was heading for a fairgrounds with my son, and needed some wheels to give me better balance while walking around. This Rollator was the right price, made of lightweight aluminum, and came with a carrying bag for the front of the seat. The 8-inch wheels are large enough to get through bumpy grass, and it collapses reasonably flat to carry in the back of my SUV. I covered an amazing area of the fairgrounds, and continue to store the rollator in the SUV for spontaneous walking adventures. Structurally speaking, the oval shaped frame tubing provides greater rigidity without increasing overal width. I found the seat-mounted storage bag helpful for my fairgrounds experience, but it's easily removable just by slippng the bag sleeves off the posts. it's helped me get around, it's stylish and sturdy for my 220 lbs, and the price was very acceotable.I did have a tipover, when I attempted to sit down to talk with some folks. I just turned around and plopped onto the seat, and suddenly I was staring at the sky. I survived without harm, and I suspect it's one of the hazards of using a rollator on uneven ground. I should have sat back a bit more cautiously, or found something to lean back against.I could also use a rollator for my wife's occasional use, and it would be handy to have a convertible model that could be used as either a walker or a transport chair. So, if I were buying today I'd get a similar version but with a convertible seat back that mounts facing either forward or backward, and some sort of foot support. A rollator can't replace a wheelchair for solo use, but this is sure a handy walker for those of us whose legs kinda work.

fast buggy. well built. no complaints at all.
We love it. Well built. Not hard to put together. Speedy. It didn't fit through a 24" bathroom door easily so i reversed the rear wheels so the wheels were on the inside of the frame. problem solved. this reversed the brakes but that isn't an issue. having the built in seat is wonderful. very handy. The bag had a tendency to come off when folding so i poked a small hole through and zip tied it on. good to go. folds up easily too.
