Heavy Duty Rollator

I am a 5'5" 67-yr-old woman who weighs nearly 400 lbs. For the past 7 years, I have used Nova's Mighty Mack. A lot of miles on it and it's still very sturdy. Need new tires and brakes, however. So I decided to look into something else that would fulfill my needs based on the use of a rollator over seven years. I needed a new rollator that would support up to 500 lbs, get through a 30-inch wide doorway better than the Mighty Mack (which is 29" wide), and allow me to adjust the seat height so my feet could fully touch the floor. This OasisSpace Rollator meets all these requirements PLUS provides a deeper and more comfortable seat and backrest than the Mighty Mack. It was quite easy to assemble and adjusting to my body height and handle height. The seat itself is not adjustable, but the legs of the rollator are adjustable which allows the seat to rise or lower. The price of this rollator is far less expensive than the Mighty Mack ($300+). The appearance of this rollator looks like a comfortable chair rather than a walker for the handicapped. It is a pound or two lighter than the Mighty Mack, so getting it in and out of my car won't present a problem. I'm keeping my Mighty Mack for outdoor use (for the time being) so I can keep it in my car, and use my new rollator for indoors. And yes, for my weight, I sit quite comfortably on the seat. I don't feel "squished" and the depth of the seat is wonderful for my ample bottom. It's quite sturdy and I have no fear of the rollator collapsing. The brakes work wonderfully and keep the rollator quite secure so there is no fear of it "rolling away" from me when I sit down. Can't comment on how the breaks work walking up and down steep terrain, but I imagine it will function well if used according to instructions in the manual. So pleased and satisfied with my purchase. On to the next seven years! ;-) UPDATE 3/1/20: I used my new rollator to go out to dinner. I was able to sit in the rollator at the table for the entire meal rather than sitting in the chair and someone temporarily storing my rollator where it wasn't in the way of the servers. I was comfortable for the entire meal. The arm rests were slightly above the height of the table, so I could sit as closely to the table as I needed.

In the summer of 2021 my family wanted to go to the zoo, but my back hurt a lot all the time. I knew I wouldn’t make it around the zoo. I had been forced to start using the electric carts to drive around Sam’s club. I don’t shop in Walmart because I can’t walk around the store. I use the app to order my stuff online and pick up curbside. I decided the only way I could go was to get a walker. I needed to be able to sit down when I needed to. I went onto Amazon and found this walker. It was able to handle my weight. It is a great walker! It adjusted to my height and holds my weight. It has been over a full year and still works wonderfully. I made the trip to the zoo. I enjoyed the freedom it gave me to be able to walk farther distances and not worry about the constant battle to find a chair. It had other uses, like being able to spend a day shopping with my mom and sister. I did not need to spend half of it sitting in the car or on any chair I could find. But there was a down side. At first was hard to let everyone know hey, I need a walker to get around. Every day me and Precious, my cat, go for a walk. She catches a ride on the walker. When I need to sit she goes down and explores. She wear a harness and leash. At first, I was only able to go a small distance and sit down. I did almost more sitting than walking. But now I am at the point where I can walk up to 5 minutes strait with no sitting. But I keep going and repeating the process I am getting stronger all the time and able to walk farther every time we go outside. I want you to know that if you are debating about getting a walker or not. Her is my recommendation. Get it, get this one. Make a plan to use it and walk with it. Go for longer walks. I have the confidence to know you won't go a long way from home and be worried about find a place to rest your back from pain. Build up your strength. This is a great walker. Thank you so much that things like this exist to help me build up my strength get stronger every day by going farther and longer. FYI, if you do get it please don't lean on it for all your weight, try as much as you can to stand up tall. The straighter your back as your walk, the stronger you will become. Build up those muscles and you will be able to go even farther each day. I love this walker.

I am short and fat, and was not going to buy a walker online, but after shopping locally and not finding anything that fit me, I gave this one a shot. I am very happy with it - the seat is wide enough for my substantial assets, I was able to adjust it so it was comfortable for my short stature, and was considerably lighter than any of the walkers I looked at locally. One of the features I am happiest with is that the brake handles flare out, so when rising from a seated position the brakes stay locked - something no other walker I looked at accomplished.
