Easy Transitioning From Cane To Medline Rollator
Eagerly awaited the delivery of this complimentary Medline Basic Steel Rollator to set-up, run through its paces, and review. Have been trying for months to convince my Significant Other that a wheeled walker would provide her much more stability and safety then using just the walking cane alone. Additionally, the cane frequently adds stress to her wrist, lower arm, elbow, and shoulder, which can expose her to dangerous falls. Important advantages of this Medline wheeled walker is that it allows her to use both hands, which distributes a significant amount of her body weight for greater balance and allows her to walk more smoothly and farther. It even has a padded seat, which enables her to stop and rest, along with a padded backrest. Both hand brakes lock easily in the downward position (they click when locked) for sitting, and, there is a washable, removable bag with Velcro ties for under-seat storage. The handlebars are fully adjustable. The frame is high strength steel, which will support a capacity of three hundred fifty pounds, and carries a lifetime warranty. Most other wheeled walkers are made of aluminum and have far less weight capacity. The Medline Rollator has four, six-inch, non-marking, polyurethane wheels. The walker can be utilized indoors or outdoors. It has a simple strap for folding adjacent to the right of the padded seat. However, it can be moved to the left-hand side, if preferred. Simply pull the strap and the unit folds for convenient storage in your car's back seat or trunk. According to the manufacturer this Medline Rollator only weighs seventeen pounds, making it very easy to fold and transport. To unfold, push down on the handlebars and lock the frame into position when ready for walking. Darlene will actually be using this Medline Rollator to transition from frequent walking cane use to 'as-needed'. Since a wheeled walker cannot be used to go up or down stairs, curbs, unlevel and, or, rough terrain, she will always need to have her cane along too. TIPS: For added safety at night time I added a battery operated, LED bicycle light fastened to the vertical handlebar frame. For added mobility I added self-adhesive, Velcro tie wraps to the other side of the frame for securing a walking cane in place. This unit does not come with a cane holder or light. However, these items are readily available at your local Walmart, where I purchased them. The Medline Basic Steel Rollator came securely packaged with the parts needed for assembly protected in bubble wrap. It took me ten minutes to thoroughly read the assembly and operating instructions. Then, another fifteen minutes to set up and correctly adjust the height of the handlebars. NO tools are necessary. Medline provides a booklet in the box, which explains the assembly and maintenance in detail along with ample pictures for even more clarity. I am very pleased with this Medline Basic Steel Rollator, and am confident that this unit in the long run will keep her safer and allow her to more mobile. Highly recommend this unit to anyone now utilizing a walking cane alone or in need of greater mobility.

Heavy duty, but...
(I have full mobility and occasionally need help walking because of back/ankle pain) This steel walker is very sturdy. Good for walking on rough terrain and people up to 350 lbs. It might be a little heavy if you need to pick it up for transport. It was OK to put together once I figured it out. It did take some arm strength. There is an unexplained strap I put to the back because you pull up on it to fold the walker. The handles are very comfortable and easy to grip. The brakes work well, but I still need to get help on setting the brakes so they lock. It's the same principal as bike brakes. The wheels seem very sturdy, and don't mark the floor, but I wish they weren't so smooth. I would love to see tires with a little 'tread' for use on slippery floors. The bar that serves as the backrest is easily removable and makes the walker smaller for in-house use. I wish that it was more back friendly, like a chair. It hurts to lean back and I use it as more of a safety bar. The lift up seat is well made and has good padding. However, it's only 11.5" wide. Not quite big enough for my bottom, and I weigh 160 lbs. with slim hips. It's a good, but not great, walker. I wish it had better features. It does not lock shut. There is no place to put oxygen. There is a lifetime warranty on the frame, but only 6 months on everything else.

    My red Walker
    I bought mine just before we went to Florida for my daughters wedding in November. I put my Walker together on my own, and I'm disabled just having had major back surgery. The directions were easy and I was able to put it together with no problems. I bought a drink holder, and this Walker has made my life easier. The seat is comfortable, it maneuvers well and I've had no problems with it. Thank you Jen from Troy, Missouri

    This is the rolling walker you need!
    So very pleased with this walker. It is sturdy, nice looking and easy to use. When putting it together, I wish things would have been labeled better to identify right/left on each item but that wasn't a big enough issue to deduct a point. My great aunt was very happy to use this walker. It is absolutely perfect!

    Arrived in good shape and speedy.
    I haven't put this together or tried it yet, but several people in my apartment complex have the same model and seem to like it. It's not for me. I have seen people in my complex that have the old school silver walkers with two wheels and tennis balls for feet. They struggle and fight with the old walkers just to get up a walkway, getting caught on grass, cracks and sometimes even little stones. I bought this because the Lord touched my heart and told me to get it so that I may bless someone's life with easier mobility. Can't wait to see who the Lord directs me to gift it to. It arrived speedily and in good condition. The outer box was damaged but the inner box was well padded and unscathed. It is heavy (which usually means it's made from sturdy materials). I'm sure it will be just fine for whoever gets it. My thanks to Walmart for making it available at such an affordable price, even on my limited income.

    Very nice walker
    Very easy to put together, sturdy for my weight, (165) seat is smaller than the one on my Dads 450 weight walker but a nice size. Like the basket much better than my Dads wire basket because you do not have to remove this bag to fold up and put in car. Is a very nice walker and used it during my back injury. Very nice walker

    Excellent!
    This Steel Rolling Walker by Medline is a MUST for anyone that needs a walker. First, it comes in a box with very little assembly required. I had no trouble following the directions that come with it and yet it took me only approximately 10 minutes to put together. I received a burgundy walker to review and I love the color. The frame itself has a lifetime warranty. This walker supports up to 350 pounds. It also has easy grip brakes for added safety. It has a curved padded backrest for added comfort and it folds for hassle free storage. The front wheels are swivel front which for someone using a walker is priceless. This walker is extremely easy to maneuver and when you need to rest you can take a seat, which is also padded, and rest your back on the backrest. This awesome Walker also has a bag underneath the seat so if you must go out to get your medication you have a place to carry it. The handgrips also make this the perfect most comfortable Walker to use. If someone you know needs a Walker, please get them this Walker. I had the standard walker they give you in the hospital but once I got home, it wasn't easy to push on the carpet. I had to take my medication but couldn't carry them back to my recliner and by the time I made it to the kitchen, I had to sit down and there was nowhere to sit. This Walker is a MUST for anyone that needs a Walker! There are not any cons to owning this Walker.

    Sturdy Walker
    I am a retired aircraft mechanic so I thought assembling this Rollator would be easy. Not quite! There is a 10 page illustrated User Instruction book for reference. It is a good one but missing one important step. The end of the tubes where the wheels go look like they have plastic bushings. The wheel tubes are too big to go into the bushings! I went over the directions several times before I realized those were not bushings but shipping plugs. When removed, the wheels went into the frame. But nothing in the directions said so. The rest of the assembly went well. The construction of the Rollator is good. Steel tubes of good thickness to be very stable. The bicycle type brakes are two position - when squeezed closed and released, the brakes are on or off. When handles are pushed down and locked, the wheels are locked. The front wheels swivel and the rear wheels are fixed making for more stability. The backrest is fixed height but removable. The seat height is fixed. The packaging was very well done. All parts were well wrapped and protected. There is a lifetime warranty on the frame and a six month warranty on most of the other parts A very nice Rollator Rolling Walker that should give you many years of good service.

    Medline Steel Rolling Walker
    I received this Medline Steel Rolling Walker in Burgundy. I really like the color. I have been using crutches for years now as my knee is in need of replacement. I was a little scared to use a walker because I thought it could go ahead of me as I was pushing and my knee wouldn't walk as fast as I was pushing. Well needless to say I was wrong. The breaks are really great so I can control when I need to stop. It is very light weight for pushing around being that it is made of steel I thought it might be a bit heavy, again I was wrong. I love that it has a seat because nothing is worse that walking around in stores etc and your body needs to sit and rest so having the seat gives me that luxury. Also it has a pouch under the seat so you can store your wallet or whatever you want in it. It is the length of the seat which makes it a nice size storage. It has nice soft grips on the handles for easy pushing. It glides really easy across carpet as well and it holds up to 350 lbs. It wasn't that hard to put together. I would definitely recommend this walker.

    Sturdy and comfortable
    After receiving my Medline Steel Rolling Walker, [model # MDS8685OESKD], I proceeded to assemble it. Assembly was fairly easy and no tools were needed to do so. The weight of the walker itself is approximately 19 lbs. Depending of the need to actually lift the walker or load it, 19 lbs. was slightly heavy but manageable to me. The seat on the walker is right at 11 1/2"x 11 1/2" inches, and the walker itself folds up for easy storage. According to the instruction manual, the maximum weight limit should not exceed 350 lbs. One thing to note is that the Medline Rolling Walker is completely latex free, so those with a latex allergy need not be concerned. The basket under the padded seat also measures at about 11 1/2"x 11 1/2" inches, but the recommended allowed weight limit for the pouch is 10 lbs. or less. The basket is also removable. The rolling walker should never be used as a wheel chair as injury may occur. The height of the walker is fully adjustable. Always make sure your walker is fully opened before each use. The brakes lock by pulling down on the brake handles and making sure they click into the locked position. Always lock the brakes before attempting to be seated. Never use the walker to pull or lift yourself up as it may roll even when in the locked position. I find that the 6" inch wheels allow the walker to roll very easily on tile, and concrete. When on carpet or grass I was also able to roll forward and backwards very easily, but I recommend being more cautious on rugs and in the yard. I found the Medline Rolling Walker to be very durable, comfortable, and very easy and helpful to use. Great product, but to avoid injury make sure to fully read "All" instructions and cautions provided to you in your manual. .

    Burgundy Medline steel rolling walker
    I ordered the burgundy steel rolling walker. It took only 10 minutes to assemble it with my son helping. It doesn't require tools, which makes assembly easy. I've been using around my house because I have arthritis; this has been very useful for those tough days. It rolls around very easily on my hardwood and carpeted floors. The swivel front wheels which are made of rubber makes transitioning easy around the house. The back wheels do not swivel but it makes the walker more stable There is a storage bin under the seat if I ever need to use the steel walker outside of the house. However, its a little cumbersome to lift. The frame of this walker can support the weight of a person up to 350 pounds according to manual included. Additionally, the Medline walker has brakes, a curved padded back rest for sitting and folds for travel and storage. I like the features that this walker has because it makes the walker convenient to use. This walker is great for providing instant mobility, support and safety. There is a manual included which elaborates more of the individual functions of the Medline walker. This instructions gives information for maintenance or upkeep of the walker. One example is periodically checking to making sure nuts and bolts are secure. I would recommend because it's very functional for me.

    A Nice walker to own
    There was a bit of a surprised that this item needed assembly. It was a bit of a chore. The instructions were clear and concise, tho. The overall walker is a very nice sturdy steel construction, not aluminum. This does add to its weight, but well worth it for those who are themselves heavy. It still is easy to move and maneuver. The rotating wheels help with this. I do imagine that for the very weak ppl using it, liftng it could be an issue. The combination handle bars and brakes are made for easy gripping. Very good for keeping control of the walker. They are also made so you can rest your palm on the handle and grip backstop for the brake to minimize slipping. Nice touch. However, it should be noted the brake handles are made of plastic not steel. This could possibly lead to a breakdown of the brakes, altho the remainder of the walker still would be fully functional. The walker wheels are large for smooth motion. There is a seat for those times when you need to sit and there is no place to sit. The seat also has a small canvas bag attached under the seat, which opens up to hold items. Nifty little bonus. I can see using for any of those shopping, walks, or just visiting friends times where seating could be an issue. It feels very comfortable with plenty of seating room. We tried several different people with various sized bums. All were satisfied with the comfort and feel of safe seating. I really like that the walker fold ups for easy transport. Pull the attached strap and it is closed. It also is height adjustable. I am 4'10" and using the lowest height setting. It is about right for my height. Adjusting is also easy. It has big knobs several holes to use for the adjustments. There is a neoprene grip on the forward cross bar instead of plastic. Nice touch Mine is a nice burgundy color. Overall very neat looking.

    A great light and sturdy Steel Rolling Walker
    As I age (60), I find myself being very focused on the weight of any items I purchase, as I’m the one who moves heavier items around the home. The same goes for medical support equipment my wife or I need as we age, finding ourselves more and more in need of these items. We also consider ease of use, durability, stability, storability, and that we both are able to use the same item (adjustable). With all these prerequisites to consider, we found that the Medline Basic Steel Rollator with 6” wheels met all our criteria. The weight is only 17.6 pounds and seems very sturdy. It was very easy to assembly by using click in metal buttons and spin knob bolts, taking only 15 minutes, requiring no tools; great manual, too! It has a nice padded vinyl seat (21”h x 12x12pad), with a removable back support bar; note the max hip width is 17-3/4”. Under the lift top seat, is a nice nylon carry bag, for carrying small items: 12”w x 7.5d x 5” deep (down). The handbrakes work in two directions: 1) Squeeze and it slows and stops the turning rear wheels, 2) push down on them and they lock the rear wheels; pull up to release the locks. The wheels are made of a hard ballistic plastic, which work well in the house on hardwood floors, tile, and low to medium pile carpet and rugs; too include outdoor smooth pavement. The front two wheels will turn completely around, while the rear wheels are fixed in a straight line. The max weight for the user is 350 pounds, so if you are close to this weight, I would recommend a higher weight rated rollator. When the handle is fully extend, it is 34.5”, which just fits me, and ‘m 6’ tall. I would suggest you drop your arms to your side and have someone measure height from the floor to the crook of your hand between your thumb and index finger; your max should be 30.5”, as you need 4” to have a slight bend in your elbow. The handle bars will adjust down another five inches, for those a bit shorter. I do think they need to make it to be a bit taller for those over 6-foot tall. It folds up very easily for storage or transportation. Without removing any parts, you can fold it to a thickness of 21”, or if you remove the back bar and handle bars, you can get it down to be only 7.5” thick. Overall, for our use, it works exactly as we need it to, and I’ve been using it for a week now, due to my recent knee replacement. I really like the padded seat, as I can transport my coffee, water, food, etc. on it! It maneuvers very well throughout the house. A very good buy!
