A good, solid and safe machine.
I have had several rollators. I like this one because it is stable and it has relatively large wheels. The front wheel is 10". This makes it easier to roll over rough surfaces. Because of the large front wheel and the thick tires, it is less likely to get caught in a rut and cause the rollator to tip over. This is a serious problem with 3-wheeled rollators. Also, the unit rolls very smoothly, evidence that they used good-quality bearings. The machine is very sturdy. I have flown this as checked baggage and it comes through unscathed.The downside of this device is its weight, about 18 pounds. If you are old and have problems with stability, loading this into a car can be challenging. (I am 91 years old and I have serious stability issues.) Nonetheless, I can load it into the trunk or the rear seat of my car, albeit with difficulty. I am careful to brace myself against the car before trying to lift it into place. I recently purchased a carbon fibre 4-wheel unit that I use for longer treks. Although this unit is easier to lift (it weighs 11 pounds), it is larger and presents other problems when trying to lift it into a car.Another problem has to do with the brake mechanism. When you release the brake, the forward edge of the handle can severely pinch the flesh on your index finger. Over the past several days on a trip, I developed two blood blisters on my index fingers. The brakes are very effective.

It has no seat, but we knew that before we purchased.
My wife loves it. It seems very sturdy and easy to maneuver. It fits nicely between door ways and very easy and lite for her lift in and out of her car.

My grandmother's first walker; now she uses it 24/7.
My grandmother has been the pinnacle of health for as long as I can remember. At 86, she's better off than many 60 year olds. Unfortunately, earlier this year she tripped and had a small fracture in her hip.She demanded I not purchase anything like this, but while she was healing she could not get around at all - I had to put office chairs in every room, help her to them, and push her around. They wouldn't fit through doorways, so to change rooms she'd have to go from one chair to another which was very painful. I ended up ignoring her and buying this.It took some convincing, but eventually she caved. Now, almost a year later, she's completely healed but still uses this all day around the house. The build quality isn't the absolute best in the world, but it's quality and I have no worries about it not supporting her or falling apart. The bag is low quality but is good enough to toss stuff in - the cupholder is a joke and I'll probably 3D print a replacement.I would highly suggest showing whoever relies on this the three main "screw" points on the unit. The one for the front wheel is most important, and there are two or three others. These are large and hand tightened, but can slowly loosen bit by bit over time - you really want to ensure they make a habit of checking them once a week or so and just hand tightening them if needed - it doesn't have to be crazy, just enough to be snug.My (well, my grandma's) only complaint is there is no way to set the brakes. They are mountain bike style lever brakes, one on each handle for each rear wheel, but the brake is only active as you're squeezing; it would have been nice to have some sort of lever to hold the brakes in place when you aren't squeezing them, because if you aren't on level ground the entire thing *will* roll away from you when not in use. I will most likely 3D print a small mechanism to lock one of the brake levers in place, as well.At the end of the day this absolutely did the job required of it and I expect it to last many years. It's of acceptable quality and sturdiness. Buying one of these for a family member is a big deal - they rely on it and can be seriously hurt if it malfunctions, so you need to make sure it's solid; I don't worry about it at all with this unit.

Love it
Bought this for mom to use in the house, it's perfect. Fits in doorways, and it's super easy for her to maneuver.

Difficult to See the Instruction Pictures - Otherwise Easy Assemble for this 3 Wheeler
This could be better size wise. My pictures show it open to the size I wish it was, so the hinge is not shown completely locked. Otherwise fairly stable & durable looking. There is a key hinge (shown in the pictures) that determines the wheel width on this walker and some others made in similar ways.. After talking to several people, & trying a couple of walkers, most are too wide for easy maneauverablility in homes. About 22.5" ensures the best for getting everywhere as well as being sturdy enough for a large part of the population. There are perople a little too wide for 22.5 in., & they do need 24-26" wide wheels. I wish some company would put out an adjustable hinge 3 wheeler. If it had a little shorter hinge to open 2 in. less it would be ideal. 1 small part change. Elenker, are you reading your reviews???

Good, but improvements recommended...
It's functional, but improvements are possible. The 3 wheel design allows maneuverability with good steering. It's heavy duty, but too heavy. A wider wheel span allows more stability, but it's too wide for petite patients. The distance between the handles & brakes is too far for petite patients & requires strength.

Great product for seniors and safety positive!

A little taller than most rollators.
I inherited a rollator from my mother that sat in my garage for a few decades. When I developed leg problems I adjusted it to his highest handlebar level but it wasn't enough. This one gets taller than most I saw on Amazon. Also, because it's a three-wheeler it folds easily and it fits nicely in my trunk. The wheels are large for better mobility also. No seat, but I love it.
