Perfect for tall men
By lindajean
My husband is 6'4" tall and this is the third walker we have tried. With all the others he had to walked stooped over, or worse yet, loose his balance trying to walk with them.This one is the perfect height. It folds easily for storage and traveling, and it is light enough for me to lift and store in the trunk of the car. It is sturdy and strong enough for him to sit on to shave and I no longer worry about him falling.

Great product
By JAHause
Great the only draw back is it is to heavy for older people. I bought this for my Grandfather, who is 6.2 ft. it has been much better for him then the standard walkers, for his back. The only problem is it's a bit heavier.

N O T.....F O R......H A N D I C A P P E D .....O N L Y !!!!!!
By Patricia
NOTE; The model I am reporting on is exactly the same as the one pictured....except the wheels are 6" in diameter, and solid....and the walker is made, for people of average height....not six feet tall or more. But the model is otherwise exactly the same...........Sometimes, even the darkest cloud has a sliver lining. The silver lining in this case is the INVACARE ROLLITE ROLLATOR WALKER -- which I would never have known about, or acquired, had just one person in the hospital been more informed, or had he or she listened to me, a mere patient. An operation and recovery that should have taken at most five days, was stretched out into 2 months (!) due to ignorance/arrogance of a few critical members of the operating team. Oh well, I did get an INVACARE ROLLATOR out of this prolonged experience...........Let me explain. Three years ago, I went to the hospital (I will not say which one -- but it is reputed to be one of the best in the country...and MOST of the personnell are, in fact, knowledgeable, courteous and kind. MOST. But not, unfortunately, all of them....) After I got out of the hospital, I had to go to a rehab place -- not customary, but in my casereally necessary....because I had been in the hospital SO long (3weeks!) that my muscles were beginning to atrophy, and I needed physical therapy....quick! ( Why was I in the hospital for 3 weeks? Because I had an operation...just before which I begged the people performing it NOT to give me muscle relaxant, because I have Myasthenia Gravis, anda muscle relaxant would weaken muscles already prone to weakness. As the anesthesia began to take effect, I remember hearing someone say, "But we HAVE to give you muscle relaxant!" Then I was out cold. When I came to, it was 3 weeks later....because after the operation, they had to put me in a RESPIRATOR for 3 weeks, due to one person's orders at giving muscle-relaxant to someone with Myasthenia Gravis.But who listens to me? I'm only the patient, after all..... : (Anyway, the rehab place was quite nice -- as far as these places go. My physical therapist was a young girl, just completing her training, and we got along very well. I got to see a few movies, and a fashion show -- and also was able to work up a comedy routine, to amuse my fellow-patients and the staff. ("Good evening, Ladies and Germs! This is not to say the Gentlemen aren't welcome -- the gentlemen are VERY welcome. The Ladies are very welcome. The Germs...are not welcome. Bye-bye germs!They're not going. Well....you can't win them all....." Etc.)Anyway, after three weeks or so, my body recovered, and was, I guess, in far better shape than I was originally, or my comedy routine would be at any time. (This is not saying much, but anyway....) So, at the meeting my family and I had with the staff at my departure, it was decided that I was A-OK....but that I should have a walker to take with me, just in case.At first, I was to be given a regular, two-wheeled walker, like they have in the hospital, (and the rehab center)...but I suddenly said no, I wanted one with a SEAT. This was considered. and approved -- and after looking at three different models, the INVACARE ROLLEX was chosen by my physical therapist -- and myself -- as the best one for me.Through these three years, my INVACARE ROLLITE ROLLATOR has become chair, table, cart, and excercise buddy! Its lines are cleaner, and more streamlined, than the usual walker-with-basket. This is because with this walker, the basket is optional, and bought at a slight additional cost. If you use the rollator with the basket, (which fits under the seat), it does make using the seat somewhat difficult. I'm lucky in that, if I have to carry something in my INVACARE ROLLATOR, I just put it on the seat, and use the wheeler like a trolly. If I have larger or bulkier things to carry, I put them in a bag, then put the bag on the Rollator's seat. Depending on one's energy, this is a good transporting and walking device for short distances, but I wouldn't recommend it for longer ones, because -- if you have something to carry, and also want to sit down, you have to lift the package off the seat before you sit down to rest, then replace it after you rest, and want to continue your walk.The brakes on this walker are conveniently placed near the handle-bars. You place them down, to lock them, and raise them, to unlock. ("DOWN-right," and "FREE-up", is a good way to remember this.) I would recommend you practice using the brakes --it's easy to forget to "free-up", and if you don't raise the brakes when you want to go on, you could break (!) them, and they won't hold when you when you want to lock them(say on a diagonal slope), again. But the practice is easy...and almost fun...and becomes second-nature in no time at all.Folding up this little gem is easy too, IF you know the ht way to go about it. Instructions are included, of course....but it's easy to get the "folding locks", (located on each side of the frame, near the back), mixed up with the "hand-brakes", (located further front, near the top of either side), at first. Just remember where the "folding locks" are, lift the seat, mpush it back, push the folding-locks on either side DOWN, fold in the two sides....and presto!....the walker can easily be placedin the back of any car. @@@@@@@@@@I was reading recently that the use of two "walking sticks" is coming into vogue. Waling sticks are traditional gear for English gentlemen, and others of the Upper Classes, when taking a morning consitututional, etc. But the modern use of TWO walking sticks, aids anyone in walking faster, harder, longer! They also help burn more calories! I find that using my INVACARE ROLLATOR -- which I already have, anyway -- does the very same thing! Even when I don't "need" it, I find that I can use it to walk faster, harder, longer...and burn more calories! No -- one shouldn't "push" the little walker to it's limits....but using it to walk just a LITTLE faster, harder, and longer, really does help burn extra calories and keep one in better shape! Of course, not wanting to become dependant on my ROLLATOR, I don't use it all the time....but I'll admit to using it slightly more than absolutely necessary. It also makes a nice little TV tray and table, in a pinch.The metal "tubing" of this walker is not black....but a beautiful, deep, deep blue, which reflects light almost irridescently. It's also quite light, as these things go. Yet it is sturdy....and can hold up to 230 pounds!This is a neat-looking, totally cool little walker. I recommend it for anyone who needs a walker, (and can deal with the package-carrying limitations)....or anyone who just wants a totally neat, and compact, excercise-cum-table-cum-cart little vehicle!
