"Although this unit, a Drive Medical Steel Rollator is a bit heavier than its aluminum counterparts--the benefits of increased strength and more importantly--stability--in my opinion, more than make up for the weight factor."
"While not exceptionally easy to transport, it does fold up easily without the basket, and I can lift it into the back of our car with minimal effort."
"half of the spokes on one of the tires were broken."
"I was SO ecstatic at how marvelous it was in helping me move around that I immediately ordered a second one just like it to keep in the car (since it IS a bit tiresome to take up and down stairs whenever we go anywhere in the car--at LEAST a couple times a day, often more). But in my situation, living one flight above street level with the garage at street level and 2 half flights of stairs and doors to negotiate through to get from living quarters to car and again from car to living space, this model's weight and its wire basket beneath its seat became burdensome. AND the rectangular wire basket under the seat, roughly the size of a shoe box, is almost always a minor problem to take out &/or put back in place. We keep the aluminum model in a car trunk and the non-aluminum model upstairs in the living area."
"just what was needed for balance & for sitting; the seat folds up for walking & down for sitting, brakes are easy to use for slowing down on a bit of a slope & they lock & hold well if you want to sit; small basket holds purse easily; patient weight is 150 lbs."
"This is the most wonderful assist when one has sciatica pain on both right & left sides & back pain-it's too hard to walk w just a cane so being able to rest both sides while walking is divine!!"
"Very good quality and easy to assemble."
Built-in padded seat with backrest and adjustable handle heights ensure customized comfort.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased the KneeRover because my doctor informed me that I could be using a scooter for many more months, and the cost of a new knee scooter is about the same price as a 2 month rental in my area. Put this all together with how hard it is to turn around, and small jobs moving things from one place to another like setting a table can be very challenging. Height – I purchased the KneeRover because the knee pad goes to 1” higher than in the DV8. In fact, if the person using the scooter is not relatively healthy, the lack of effective brakes could be a major problem. !, smaller turning radius, knee pad not as comfortable, handle folding mechanism hard to engage. But even with this, if I needed to turn around, I found I was just as likely to put my healthy foot down and lift the front of the scooter to turn and pivot. Width of handles and depth of pad and handles – The handles on the DV8 are more widely spaced and there is an inch or two of more room between the handles and the knee pad, which felt more comfortable to me. Hopefully someone will manufacture a scooter in the future with KneeRover’s height, disc brakes, and basket and DV8’s wider wheel base, knee pad, folding mechanism, and wider and deeper handles."
"I ordered this and the first day's experience with it was as diametrically opposite of the crutching situation as I could imagine possible. With small flicks of my good foot, I was moving QUICKLY over long distances. My coworkers took to calling me Speed Racer, in reference to that cartoon with the Mach 5 race car. It felt like the little kid inside was breathing highly oxygenated air. The optics of a dude in a suit racing around the cube farm, mischievously grinning ear-to-ear, probably would have left the security guards hysterical with laughter. Picking up a few items for lunch and bringing them back to the desk was returned to being brain-dead easy. If you are going to ride over uneven surfaces (such as city sidewalks), you need to move your knee to the back of the pad and you need to lean back as well, so that you are unloading weight from the front wheels. If you are putting too much weight on the front wheels, and you hit a bump, things can get really ugly. The first couple of days will be a little slow because you are not used to bearing weight on the knee. I set my seat slightly lower than standing height, so that my weight would naturally transfer from one leg to the other, almost like walking."
"I ended up using it for a few weeks and then got tired of it because the turn radius is quite big and maneuvering in tight aisles was difficult during the crazy holiday shopping season."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Needless to say I was really concerned how I would continue to work and maintain some kind of active lifestyle using crutches or a traditional walker. I asked my doctor, prior to surgery about the knee walker and he had limited knowledge of it , but said for me to try local medical appliance places. I ended up purchasing the Drive walker from Amazon after finding prices locally of $700-+$1000!. I can go shopping, out to eat and even still go to the Y to roll on the indoor track and do upper body weight lifting. I also purchased a LED flashlight that attaches to the handle bars for late night trips in my house and also the Sunlite mesh bottom removable bicycle basket ( from amazon). This basket is a lifesaver, it carries about everything for me ( purse, water bottle, small amounts of groceries, laundry, paperwork, mail, etc). After 4 weeks of use I would like to offer the following tips/safety information: 1) The knee walker is close to perfect for rolling effortlessly on a smooth flat surface. Uneven pavement, gravel, rocks, cracks, thresholds(such as entering buildings), even raised painted places in parking lots will violently throw the front wheels. Hold on tight to both sides of the handlebars and keep your good foot on the ground 100% of the time in all situations. I ran the back wheel of mine into a pallet in a grocery store that I thought I had cleared and it almost threw me off. Handicap entrances to sidewalks tend to have hard knobby surfaces, I guess to prevent slippage, these can be tough to navigate on a knee walker. I have family members clean it before I use it in the house after returning home, They wipe the wheels with a wet cloth. 8) Be super careful on any downhill, even handicap small ramps going up to sidewalks."
"I purchased this knee scooter about 3 months ago, in anticipation of foot surgery. This review will also compare this type of knee scooter to those that do not have adjustable steering. The other one I used had a knee pad that could not be adjusted, and it was a bit too low to the ground. And if there is only one brake, then if that particular wheel is riding high even a little bit because your floors are uneven, then it will roll. But you can see in the photos that there are two cut outs in the knee pad running both ways. The reason is that you have to use a lot of arm strength to keep the front end straight. If a rock or a crack stops one of the front wheels, then the other has a tendency to turn because your forward momentum is still pushing the scooter. What would be ideal is if there was a locking mechanism so a knee scooter could have steering when you wanted it and not have it when you don't. The nonsteering one I had (sorry, borrowed it and don't know the brand) could be folded up like one of those simple child's strollers. The steering column breaks so it can fit sort of under the knee pad, but that's as far as it goes. When putting mine into the car the nature of the way it breaks down resulted in a broken brake handle. If you live where you need to use it on gravel a lot or outside on uneven surfaces, then I'd consider a less expensive one without steering. When you are supposed to not put weight on your foot or ankle, it's a lot easier to do this with the knee scooter than with the crutches."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The HurryCane is my favorite, all-purpose cane because it is comfortable to grip, lightweight, pivots to make walking more natural, and will stand on its own, with careful placement on select flooring. With careful placement, it will stand on level surfaces, such as wood floors and flat tile, but sometimes it still falls over in this setting. However, the ability to have the HurryCane stand alone allows you to use both hands for something else (like finding that item at the bottom of your purse). My husband calls it my "Ninja cane," because of the way it folds and unfolds, so it has added a little humor to life as well. Basic cane (shown on left in picture): this was issued by the hospital a few years ago as I was getting out of a wheelchair after pelvic fractures. Overall, unless you need an added feature like the light, storage, or sit-to-stand assistance, I recommend that you spend your money on the HurryCane. Unlike the HurryCane, the quad cane will stand alone on gravel and in the grass, although it occasionally falls over if I place it on an incline."
"I really like it so much more than my regular quad cane BUT there are some thing you need to be aware of before you buy the advantages of the cane outweighed the disadvantages for me but judge for yourself. Here you go: 1: The base of the cane is a bit smaller than the regular quad cane and for me it has a harder time sanding on its own, it falls frequently. No more struggling to get the cane in the car or walking without the cane to the backseat to get the cane you just get in fold it up and put it in you floorboard or even in the handy carry case it came with."
"I had to use that because my balance was poor and I needed the support from this type of cane. If a cane were set on a large acorn or a pine cone it would roll & you may lose your balance. I also recommended they have a clamping device on the cane to hold it in the folded position. The Freedom Edition HurryCane has feet attached more securely and they implemented my clamping device idea. It is lighter, and it folds easier When I send their customer support a message they usually get back to me the same day! Another example of how committed to customer satisfaction they are is they asked me if I knew of anyone who would benefit from having a HurryCane. I told them I have a friend named Floyd who I felt would greatly benefit from a HurryCane. I know this has been a long review but I wanted to make sure I tell you about the fantastic features this All-Terrain Cane has. The other mechanical problem I had with it was the pin that is used to set the height was sheered off on day. When I checked my email Monday morning two associates with HurryCane had apologized profusely for what happened & they told me that they had already addressed the issue with that pin. I'm only telling you that if you want one that is guaranteed to work exactly like it is described you should buy it directly from the HurryCane company."
