Five Star Reviews: | 69% PERFECT CHOICE August 31, 2017 Perfect choice for me, especially the price, for my short-time recovery use from total hip replacement surgery. My PT was pleased with my choice, as well (wheels on front only). It truly is lightweight, has lots of height adjustment; and the easy, secure, folding feature, was very much appreciated to get me to and from appointments. So surprised to see that the hospital is using this exact same walker. Had to add an ID tag to mine. Added on an Amazon "Health Mart Walker Basket" w/tray and cup holder, to help transfer items around the house. I mounted it on the INSIDE of the above mentioned Walker. Nice and secure with the included Velcro straps. Perfect size. April 19, 2017 Ordered this for my mother. It came quickly and was easy to assemble. I added the tennis ball yellow walker coasters. She is a tiny woman and this adjusted to fit her very well. It would adjust to fit a must taller person as well. Trim walker March 11, 2017 Trim walker. My therapist turned the wheels to be in the inside and it narrowed the walker's profile. Easy to use and fold up. Good product at a great price August 1, 2015 Spouse sprained her lower back. searched the local stores ..then Amazon..located it..received..adjusted it and she used it to get around for a couple of days, without much discomfort..it is now stored in the event it is need in the future. almost 35 dollars cheaper than the ones sold (drugstores & the big Wm..study material but light..Good product at a great price..thank you Second walker June 24, 2013 I have had one walker identical to this purchased through Amazon for over five years. It is like new! I have fitted it with a tray and a reacher from Amazon that work great. The problem is demounting everything to use it from the car.The answer for me is to buy a second one identical to the first. I use my cane to walk down specially built steps holding on to one rail and carrying my Saddlebag (Zippidy Walker Organizer from Amazon) and off to whereever (driven most of the time I'm afraid).It folds up easily by me loading it in and out of the car while holding on to the car with one hand. The old saying one hand for you and one for the ship applies here. It is very light and snaps open and shut easily. It can be done easily by others if you don't get the hang of it.The added covenience for both me and my family as well as the reduced imposition when I'd like to tag along made the second purchase well worth while.. Zinging Right Along December 5, 2010 Lightweight, highly recommended, sturdy, adjustable. I changed the rear leg tips to sliders asthe rubber tips that come with the walker doesn't glide very well over most surfaces and particularlydifficult over carpeted floors. I'm considered changing the front wheels from 5" wheels to 8" wheels.Believe the 8" will roll over small cracks and door jams much better than the 5". | 62% Great replacements at a great price. September 22, 2017 These are very heavy duty. This is the second time I have bought them and it appears they are sturdier than before. Word of advice, don't wait until your old ones are worn down so far that the ski portion is falling off. If you do this they are tough to remove. My skis on the old pair broke off when trying to remove them. I needed to use a drill to break up the round base then a screw driver and hammer to shove the broken base into the tube to make room for the new skis. Very durable September 15, 2017 Very durable nylon ski glides, easy on & off. Use mostly outside, last about six months with my use. Some walkers may require a wrap of electricians/Teflon tape around the shaft insert in order to secure a tight fit & prevent twisting of the skis. A great option for your walker in the house on carpet. September 4, 2017 I bought these little ski guides with my new walker. They work so nice when moving around on our carpet. A+++++++++++ Attaches very easily to the walker and as I use the walker ... June 10, 2017 Attaches very easily to the walker and as I use the walker only in the house it most likely will last a long time. Good product for a walker with wheels. April 9, 2017 These worked well on my U-shaped walker with wheels on the front. The glides move well over any surface, and the raised front keeps them from getting caught in cracks, etc. Smooth August 26, 2016 Lots better than those tennis balls. a little old lady cannot install these I had a pair of pliers and really had to run up the old part off but once I got them off they just hammered in there perfectly sometimes you have to turn them to one side or the other a little bit to keep them from vibrating but overall they're great | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 15% For indoor use May 4, 2017 Works fine . Would have given 5 star if it came with tennis balls on two of the legs Product Description Calls For 2 Wheels But Seller Make It Right November 24, 2016 Product seems well built. The folding mechanism works smoothly. Unfortunately the walker was delivered with rubber caps on all 4 legs. Both the picture and the description call for wheels on the front legs.I purchased white plastic skis for the rear legs from a different seller.Update: The seller shipped wheels to my address at no cost. I changed my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars. Like this walker July 2, 2016 This walker is really lightweight and a lot narrower than others I looked at, so works well in my small house. Folds easily for transporting and storing. Excellent Price April 22, 2014 I priced this particular item at healthcare stores in my area. The best price I could find was around $150+. I really appreciated the low price of roughly $35. I felt pretty good at first, but I am a man weighing about 215 lbs and I sometimes put all my weight on the walker to move. I tends to break if I do that on uneven ground. When I say break, I mean it begins to wobble and one brace broke.That is the only thing I dont like about the walker, but all being said, it is the best deal I have come across. I would recommend it to anyone on a budget. Just will have to be careful about putting all your weight on it if you are on uneven surfaces. Very pleased! December 24, 2013 I was worried on how sturdy this walker would be and I'm very pleased and happy with the construction of the walker. I looked at other walkers and looking at their designs and this one seemed to have a better design. Yes, very pleased and works well. Good walker for the price May 25, 2011 Got this for my dad who needs a lot of support while walking. I did some research and found out that those rolling walkers with four wheels aren't ideal for someone who needs consistent, very sturdy walking support. I opted for the standard walker since he has the upper body strength but not lower body strength. This walker gives him just what he needs to get around his room and to/from the bathroom. Legs are adjustable, so you can customize it to your or your loved one's height. With its 2-wheels/2-non-wheeled feet, it works best on carpet. It is noticeably less smooth for use outdoors on uneven surfaces like asphalt.The walker is very lightweight and folds up very easily to fit either in the backseat or trunk of my compact car. There was some urgency to get this item right away for my dad, so I paid for one-day shipping, which ended up being almost as much as the walker itself. However, I got the package early the next morning as promised. It came well-packaged. The box was rather large but it was light because the contents are light. So far, so good with this walker. My dad's only been using it for about a 1 1/2 months and mainly indoors, so we'll see how it holds up over time. The rear slider caps are showing some wear but that's to be expected. Walker comes with 2 extra rubber slider caps.The only downside so far is that my dad had some difficulty navigating through the narrow doorways of his townhouse using this walker. Maybe we'll try out moving the front wheels to the inside like another reviewer suggested. | 16% Not as tight-adjustable as the two-piece offerings from Penco Medical, but SEEM adequate September 24, 2017 I haven't installed them yet, but I note that they depend on the plastic's fit after pushing them on.I purchased a set locally branded as "Penco Medical Universal Walker Glides"THEY have a wedge piece that fits in the glide and adjusts the tightness of fitby adjusting a phillips head screw to secure the walls of the glide tighter to the walker leg wall.I give it a 4 for price and suspected adequacy.I'll modify this review after more experience with them if warranted. Long last alternative to tennis balls. September 5, 2017 Found these harder to install than the black Drive product. Had to use rubber hammer to fully seat them. they are great for indoors July 31, 2017 they are great for indoors. They do not like sidewalks. I used it outside and came back in and it's all scratchy. These little skis are a hit wherever we go June 15, 2017 Second time I've ordered these. They last 10 times as long as a tennis ball and look great. Glide skis okay, but other walker accessories vary. April 2, 2015 No problem with the ski glides. However, I have a Drive walker and an Invacare walker. Invacare walker moves more easily and reliably than Drive.Bought trays for each and discovered the Drive tray is much superior to the Invacare tray, which has broken twice since I've had it. So now I plan to put the superior Drive tray on the superior Invacare walker. Nothing's perfect! | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 6% Three Stars November 14, 2016 It's a sturdy walker but I can't shorten it enough to be really comfortable for my 4ft 10in. height! Fairly easy to put together but when my mother uses it August 28, 2016 Fairly easy to put together but when my mother uses it, it pulls to one side or the other and we are having a little trouble with the wheels turning, they seem to be stuck and scratch our hardwood floors. Okay for Short-Term Use July 9, 2016 The walker is lightweight and easy to use but wheels and glider attachments seem flimsy | 8% Could not get the original pieces out without great effort. You need exactly the right tools & ... June 8, 2017 Very hard time installing. Could not get the original pieces out without great effort. You need exactly the right tools & good luck. ☹️ Gary Ski Slides October 4, 2016 These are nice in that they slide easily across the floor. One thing to be aware of is that if you have area rugs, these ski slides will slip under the rug and cause a mishap very quickly and could easily cause a person to fall. Adequate but prone to shattering when putting it on. August 24, 2016 It's better than the rubber ends that came with the walker, but it doesn't slide easily on our carpeting. It's fairly good in the bathrooms which is where I wanted it for my wife's use. One of the four glides shredded near the top and I'm still finding fragments of it in the carpeting. I'm disappointed but it's not worth the bother to send them back. Tripping the light fantastic November 28, 2013 Would have rated them higher but the backs of the ski's extend out so that while walking I tend to step on them causing my walker to stop unexpectedly. Now have found out that I could have replaced the original plastic skids with less problems and expense. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 3% A little disappointed November 19, 2016 I got this for use after a knee replacement. I am 6ft 3in. The legs and frame feel a little wobbly when extended to the length I need for a correct height. I would look for one with a heavier frame or one built for taller people. It's light and it's pretty. I can manage it by myself and it ... October 14, 2016 It's light and it's pretty. I can manage it by myself and it folds up easily . It fits in the pew at church. It doesn't block the aisle in a restaurant. I wouldn't choose it for a walk around the block--it's for social things my wife isn't to happy with it July 30, 2016 my wife isn't to happy with it.... it pulls to the left to much when she uses it... should have got the more expensive one.....ya get what you pay for ,,,can't complain to much ,,,it does the job Do not recommend. July 14, 2016 Assembled incorrectly. Wheels put on rear legs. Very dangerous that way. Size adjustment given is incorrect. It is definitely not for someone 5'3". Wheels do not turn! June 21, 2016 If this is a deluxe model, I would hate to have purchased the standard. What a dog, the wheels don't turn, so why have wheels. This is a junker! I have not had this walker a year, but ... May 18, 2016 I have not had this walker a year, but the mechanism for collapsing the walker is very flimsy and already it is close to breaking off which means that the walker will have to be replaced. This item is subject to replacement every 5 years by Medicare, so this means they will not cover the cost of replacement. | 4% Did not work well. Ended up putting tennis balls ... August 14, 2017 Did not work well. Ended up putting tennis balls on back legs of walker. Doesn't add to smoothness of rolling walker May 29, 2017 Doesn't add to smoothness of rolling waker- catches on seams in pavement Walker Ski Wrestling April 8, 2017 If you get a month of use on these skis outdoors, you're lucky.And they are hard to remove Meh! February 20, 2017 These do not slide any better than the rubber feet that come on the walker. I am going to glue some felt on the bottom of the 'glides' to hopefully make them easier to go across the floor. not helpful July 12, 2016 I ordered these to make using my walker easier, but they made it more difficult. One of the glides did not fit the walker legs properly and would not stay connected to either leg. So I had to constantly stop, bend down and reattach it. I was already unsteady on my feet after surgery--this product did not aid in my recovery. Doesn't fit August 19, 2013 Broken ankle and learning to walk again. Got a Drive walker to take me along this journey and thought these might help a bit it the transition. Received these in the mail today. Husband went to put them on/in the legs and snapped them in and they fell right out. Unusable really as sent. To little in cost to send back so a waste of money for something that is not a sure thing.My handy husband wrapped tape around the plug part and forced it in the leg to hold it there. Will try but I have no confidence in product. Drive walker should fit Drive parts.******BUYER BEWARE******* | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 7% Not Satisfied! December 20, 2016 All though the item arrived on-time it was missing the wheel extensions and the leg extensions in the box. This item was unusable for my mom. No wheels arrived November 5, 2016 My order did not come with wheels or the ability to adjust. Had to return it. The walker was a huge disappointment. I need to send it back August 16, 2016 The walker was a huge disappointment. I need to send it back. The leg extensions and "sliders" did not stay in place and when the walker was lifted slightly off the ground they would just fall out. I don't know if there were parts missing as the minimal instruction sheet gave little info about parts or assembly. I would not recommend this walker from Duro-Med. It broke the second day, cheaply built, and ... March 24, 2016 It broke the second day, cheaply built, and the folding operation broke the second and had to (and was lucky someone whould take it in trade and give me $15.00 allowance. | 10% not so good October 21, 2015 Unfortunately, these did not work as well, or last as long, as the more expensive ones I usually buy in a medical store. Glides hit a bump in the road. October 20, 2014 I purchased a pair of these in January. They were excellent and I would have rated them 5 stars if I had written a review at that time. However, after six months I noted that the glides were wearing down. I felt that they had given excellent service so I ordered two more sets. The new glides, although labeled "TopGlides", looked different both in their form and the type of plastic. The first set appeared to be nylon; the second order looked like polyethylene. When I replaced the worn set, I found that the replacement glides fit very loosely (many others have commented on this). They would easily rotate out of position. I cured this by using a soldering iron to melt a few spots on the edge of the inserted section so that it bulged out a bit. I used a hammer to lightly tap them in. This worked fine - the glides did not rotate. However, after a couple weeks of use I noted that the plastic was wearing very fast. Finally the forward (upturned) part of the gide snapped off. I replaced it and soon this snapped off as well. Eventually all replacements snapped off. It is clear that the quality of this product has changed dramatically for the worse. I would not buy these again. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
