Drive Medical RTL10266CF Nitro Elite CF Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat, Black

This is the very best walker. I have purchased10 walkers in the past 15 years. It is so easy to put in my car. It is light weight. I am 84-year-old woman. It folds easy and stays folded. You can put it right by you because it does not take much room. I also put stickers on my walker, so it does not look scary to children and others.

I am mobile again!!! My hip pain was “crippling”; my “walking sticks” no longer could keep me moving when I left my house. I didn’t have the strength to even go a short distance of 25 feet, my world was shrinking and I was so very depressed... I decided to try a rollator. The first one I purchased gave me mobility - it gave me confidence and I realized I wasn’t going to be bedridden anytime soon... but this rollator was too heavy and bulky for me to easily go up and downstairs. It was difficult for me to load into my car. Was around 30ilbs....and very sturdy... and was built for a heavier person than me. Was rated for a 300lb person; I have a friend that has been using a rollator and she is on the heavy side. She told me that I should add at least 50lbs to my weight and that’s what I should use that weight in making my decision. I had lost my appetite as my pain at times was very intense, started eating fruits , etc. I had been studying the various rollator options on Amazon. I have come to depend on Amazon for most of my shopping as I can shop in the comfort of my home and can’t beat shipping with Amazon Prime! I saw this Drive Tall Rollator, and I loved the red color!!! It weighed 14 lbs, I knew I could easily handle loading this Drive Nitro into my car & going up and downstairs would be so much easier. When I decided to order my RED DRIVE TALL NITRO; I knew the price was high- the “too heavy rollator” I bought here locally was about $230 as well. As a widowed senior, I try to watch my spending. But I figured my life will be so much easier...when I was on the Drive Nitro site, I noticed there was an option for buying an unused Drive Nitro-box was opened: it was a return & unused. PLUS The price was about $40 less!! It arrived a few days later, left at my front door. The box looked like it had been a very rough trip- torn and dented- I wondered if I should have paid the regular price. With the box damaged- it was very easy to rip open!! And there was my beautiful, RED DRIVE NITRO TALL, without a scratch, dent, tear... in perfect condition!!!! The lighter frame really makes my various outings so much easier. I’m able to do things I’ve always enjoyed - before all the hip pain. Since I’m walking more, my hip pain is no-where near what is was. Oh, I will get stabbing pains that remind me of why I need this rollator. BTW: my perfectly good but heavy rollator...my neighbor had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, the family was devastated. Her husband, 2 teenage boys, and little girl, were big help for Mom, I noticed she walked with so much pain. I immediately gave her my “gently used” rollator. She had many hands to help her lift this rollator in and out of their car. Stairs-no problem. I get stopped at least once a day by men and women asking what brand, how light is this, easy use... it may be for their use but others have loved ones struggling to be mobile. I let them take mine for a spin- the easy turning, lightweight... when we part, I can see the excitement in their faces...

I wanted to leave a review in case anyone else was in doubt about spending a couple of hundred dollars on a rolling walker - especially if your health situation may be temporary, so you feel this may not be something worth investing in. I also waffled on this. But I just couldn't bear the thought of hunching over one of those cheap metal frame walkers. My health issues are such that I needed something I could use in the house as well as outside, so I bit the bullet and went for this. I can only say, this walker has made my life, and dealing with my health issues, SOOOO much easier. The handlebars are adjustable, so they can be raised high enough that even a 6' 4' person like my husband feels comfortable using it. The seat is sturdy and higher than a standard chair seat, so I use it all the time at my computer desk (brakes on, of course!) rather than strain my back and knees in a regular height chair. It rolls beautifully, is easy to negotiate through rooms and doorways, and folds quickly for storage or putting in the car. It comes with a handy little removeable mesh tote bag with zipper, too. Another reviewer complained that the bag was see-through, but you'd have to really TRY to see through this bag - not sure why that even matters, but please don't consider that one thing a deal breaker. The only issue I have, and others with low arm strength will want to know is, at 17 lbs, it isn't exactly lightweight and easy to move in and out of the car, but many of us with long-term disabilities are not hoisting our own stuff in and out of cars anyway. This is a great product and very well made. I'm glad I bought it.

I picked this out for my mom, 86 years old, who is starting to have a lot of trouble with back pain, weak legs and difficulty getting out of standard height chairs. She is a tall lady (5’8 with long legs), and this tall model is perfect for her. The first walker she had was a basic Drive rollator (much less expensive) but much lower to the ground and narrower, and she only used it once because she couldn’t easily get out of it without two people assisting her. She especially likes this Nitro tall model because the higher than normal seat makes it is easy for her to get out of. It steers very easily, and turns on a dime. She can drive it across grass and rocky paths with no difficulties, thanks to the large front tires. The color and hidden brake cables make it much more fashionable and youthful looking than traditional walkers too. It has allowed her to go places that she normally would’ve turned down going such as an apple picking place due to there being nowhere to sit down (or seats that are too low for her to get out of) . I would say that it has helped her regain mobility and independence. Worth every penny! We call it her Ferrari due to the beautiful cherry red color!! As the daughter of the user, I love how easy it is to fold and lift into the car. Not mentioned in the features listed on Amazon is a metal clip that locks the unit together for very easy storage. We went to a restaurant the other day, and it easily fit into a small area near our table in the folded position. It unfolds with great ease as well. I would highly recommend this model to persons who need it or to adult children who are worried about their parents falling/mobility.

Words cannot describe the difference this has made in my beloved wife's life. It is so very light and it ride is amazing, the ride is smooth no matter what the condition of the ground is. Her ability to move and lift the walker has given her a new confidence in her life and attitude. The design is truly well thought out and they have kept in mind who they were designing this item for, handicap people. Yes, I know the price is up there but my wife's happiness and her ability are very important to her and of course to me, her husband. To know that she can go shopping or to friends for visits without the struggle she had before is beyond words. We are not well off, but with the Amazon payment plan we were able to purchase this walker for my beautiful wife and now that we have had it over 3 months, we are most appreciative for this opportunity by Amazon to be able to buy it and above all to GOD for providing the wisdom to the persons responsible for this walkers creation, thank you LORD for Your blessings to us through this company and through Amazon.

Awesome, large wheels which are a must, when one’s health is compromised, you need the proper equipment, this is it! It helped to overcome a health issue, where I was perfectly healthy, and within 6 days I was unable to walk. This unit was one of many things that brought me back to full health. It’s very easy to steer, go over curbs etc.

Ottimo prodotto

Muy buena, salvo que hay que tener cuidado que se desliza rapido y hay que ponerle freno. No puedes sentarte en ella y ser empujado.

This walker turns on a dime ! It’s so smooth. Easily adjustable to height. Sleek looking and so simple to collapse and put in the trunk. Light weight but very sturdy. I highly recommend this product.
