Medline Premium Empower Rollator Walker with Seat, Folding Rolling Walker with 8-inch Wheels, Silver

Phenomenal walker. I can't say enough about it as a family member caring for their parent. Large enough wheels for stability but not too large for it to be overkill. Great storage options. All features adjustable including wheel length, arm length and push pads. Seat is very comfortable. This walker is foldable and easy to transport. Seat pops up so you can use it to stand at counters easily. My mother has Parkinson's and we have been searching for solutions for her as her disease progresses. This is the solution. Very stable and customizable.

I recently purchased this walker for my 83-year-old mother, who is 5'2". After adjusting everything to the lowest setting, it works perfectly for her. However, if you are shorter than 5', this might not be the right walker for you. I've found it to be very sturdy, although the handles do rattle a bit, it doesn't compromise the walker's stability. One of the features I particularly appreciate, which isn't common in rollators, is the movable seat. This allows my mom to step into the walker when she's near a sink, reducing her risk of falling, which was a problem before when she had to move the entire walker. Additionally, because she is shorter, she can sit and rest briefly on our walks by using the backrest in reverse when she gets tired. While the doorways at her assisted living facility are ADA compliant, it's worth noting that the walker didn't fit through the bathroom door at my home. On a positive note, I found it easier to fit this walker into the trunk of my Honda Civic compared to her previous, smaller one. The arms of the walker fold in, creating a slimmer profile for trunk storage. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase for my mom.

I’ve been searching for a good walker/rolator for my 92 year old mom who has been in and out of the hospital. She needed to build up her exercise, stamina and balance. But she wanted something she could use that would have a seat for resting. This fits the bill perfectly. It has given her mobility, stamina, and confidence. Her balance and endurance has improved. She went from sitting in a chair all day and getting more and more stationary to walking about 0.25 miles a day, every few days. Doesn’t sound like much, but it’s regular, and builds her confidence and balance. One caveat: this is NOT a walker. It has wheels on all ground contact points. It’s not like a walker where the wheels are only on two legs. So this rolator can quickly get away from the user, risking a fall, if they don’t learn to use the brakes. Very important to practice with the user. But since there is slightly less control (meaning more freedom) the user builds stamina, balance, and confidence. It’s worked wonders for my mom and increased my independence since I don’t have to be home all the time to care for her… The build on this is strong, and sturdy, fully adjustable for big people down to little tiny people like my mom. The wheels are 8” which allows it to motivate over most bumps on a sidewalk or lawn. Some assembly is required. I would recommend that be done by someone with good reading ability and patience. It’s not hard to do, but some other reviews indicate that the unit was assembled incorrectly. The unit is not feather light, but that aids stability. That being said, I can lift and fold it with one hand, and put it into the car with ease (and I never go to the gym).

Many features for the price. It is adjustable, reversible seat, large under seat storage, and 8 inch wheels. I only gave it a 4 because of a few issues. Assembly was easy except for a brake handle assembly part that was loose in the box. the other one was fine. A call to the 800 Help Desk was helpful. The storage bag / seat bag access release lever does not properly set over half the time without a strong and deliberate push. Folding the Rollator is difficult due to the seat latching issue above. Also the cup holder needs to be about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wider so it can hold an average sized sport container.

I bought this for my 94-year-old father. He recently moved into assisted living. He'd been using one of those inexpensive front-wheel aluminum walkers with a pair of tennis balls on the back to act as skids. He's mentally sharp as a tack but has difficulty walking, especially with losing stamina. He can only walk a few dozen feet before he needs a break and is hunting for a chair. One morning at breakfast I saw this walker parked outside the dining room, and I was very impressed with how rugged and well made it looked. So, I snapped a photo of it and did a Google image search to find it. This walker has made a world of difference for him. He's out and zipping around the building a lot more. He uses the seat to take breaks when he's tired, and the seat doubles as a table if he needs to carry something. We reviewed the "correct" way to use a rollator-walker to ensure he was safe. I found a really good video on Youtube called "How to use a walker with a seat the RIGHT way". It's by "Your PT Guy". I highly recommend it. He's funny, and he goes over everything you need to know not to get hurt. I think the only negatives I have for this rollator are that it is heavy and awkward to lift when folded. To fold it, lift the handle on the underside of the seat, and the frame folds together with the front and rear wheels coming together. It's like a folding dining chair. The handles also fold inward. But it's still big and kind of awkward. This is more an issue for me or whoever he is traveling with, not so much for him, as he will never lift it into a trunk. I don't mind, but I could see an older, petite woman struggling with it. Another thing I like is that the wheels are solid rubber. That, combined with the weight of it, helps it hold position on the floor when the parking breaks are engaged. Again, this makes it feel safer and more stable.

I purchased this not because of my age, which is 65, but because of five open knee surgeries on my left knee, and the fact that my knee is now deformed. I’ve been walking with a limp for the past 10 years and finally gave up on walking with a cane. Believe me when I say, I have looked at dozens of these Rollators and finally settled on this one. This one is very lightweight. Not heavy and cumbersome like some of the others. Now maybe a heavier Rollator is what some people prefer, but not me. When you’re out walking with it, I don’t have to fight with it to get it to go up and down off sidewalks. The brakes work very easily and yes, the manual brakes are easy to apply. But I particularly like the big wide seat to this Rollator. It is entirely in one piece and not a split seat like some of them. It is fairly easy to collapse, and then place in the trunk of our SUV. And yes, there is some storage underneath the actual seat itself. All in all, I am very happy with it. I like the ease in which you can adjust the height to the strap at your back when you are seated. I like the rubber hand grips on it, which also have a thumb rest, that I appreciate very much. I like the rubber handle grips on it which also have a thumb rest, that I appreciate very much. Basically, I took a chance on this one, having not seen it prior to purchasing it, and I’m happy I bought it.

Excelente!! Muy recomendable, nos fue muy útil para mi mamá porque es de altura pequeña y operada de sus rodillas y gracias a que se ajusta a la altura cumplió las expectativas. Estéticamente muy bonito. Lo recomiendo al 100

Mejor de lo que nos imaginamos para mi papá

This is a good product, durable and well designed. An important feature is rubber wheels. Oddly this feature is not included in the product description. It should be as the breaks work properly and safely with rubber wheels. Also rubber wheels do not slide on wood flooring. Another good feature is the larger seat. First time I’ve had to buy a mobility device and needed spend more time comparing products.

For the price I am quite happy. Takes a bit to assemble but instructions are clear. I really like the large wheels (much bigger than they look in the photo). It is a bit heavier but is manageable. Water bottle holder is completely dumb! doesn’t hold any bottle. ** DO watch the video and see how to sit properly.
