Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this knee walker prior to surgery and the warning that I would be non-weight bearing for at least 6 weeks. I am a 5'3" woman in her 50's who weighs more than she should, and I had read reviews of other knee scooter/walkers that were "tippy" -- no thanks.
I'm more than half way through my 6 weeks, and the walker is working very well. It is substantial -- no tipping, but not the right choice if you need max portability, which I did not. My friends can easily carry it down my 2 flights of steps upon occasion, and it fits in the back of my mini-van without even folding up.
My PT and I did have a little trouble adjusting the knee pad height exactly perfectly for me -- gears are easy to adjust but a little too far apart(so, a little to high or a little too low for me). That is why I give a 4 rather than 5 star rating. However, it's working out okay. NOTE weight limit of 300 lbs. Comes with toolkit for adjusting brakes (which we have not needed to use).
Padding on knee rest is excellent (this is important!). Turning radius is wide so this would be hard to use in some homes with tight corners or too much furniture -- however, I'm very glad I did not choose an in-line, non-turning model. The front basket is very important too -- easy to put on and off if necessary.
I highly recommend that you purchase a knee walker before your surgery if possible and practice -- find out what needs to be moved in your house and start using those muscles before you have to! I'm very pleased with my choice and would pick this one again.
