Nitro Duet

I bought this product for my mother, who is 92 and has dementia. It has delivered on all my expectations. Mom is only 4"11" and the low handle setting is the perfect height for her (as is the seat). She was very unsteady walking on her own but walks quite confidently with the rollator. An added bonus is that she can now walk erect, with her head up, vs. slumped with her head down. Since Mom has dementia, she has no idea how to use the brakes. However, I can walk beside her with my hand on the wheelchair handle to provide any assistance she might need in slowing down on ramps. The rollator is sturdy and handles outdoor terrain (sidewalks and some grassy/gravel areas) very well. I chose not to keep the storage basket on the unit (to keep things simple and light) but the seat very handy to carry anything we need (as we are using the unit as a rollator 100% of the time). The unit also folds easily and is easy to pick up and store as it only weighs 22 pounds. I highly recommend this product for anyone who is a bit unsteady or does not have the stamina to walk far on their own.

This walker is awesome, my 84 y/o mom uses it outside and up and down hills with no issues. When we go long distances she sits in the wheelchair which she enjoys. It folds up easily. We had to replace a screw which came loose and the storage basket doesn’t always stay attached securely but otherwise we’ve been very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend.

My rollator/transport chair arrived today, and so far I’m over the moon. It arrived a day after ordering it, fully assembled. I was able to use FSA funds to purchase it, which is so amazing. And the rollator is awesome. I love the adjustable handles. I’m 5’8 and my partner is 6’3. Having taller handles is already so much more comfortable. I took it for a spin around the neighborhood. As a rollator, handles smoothly on pavement and grass. It stays straight even when I’m pushing it with one hand. It transforms into a transport chair in about 30 seconds. I haven’t gotten to test it out as a transport chair, but am excited to do so soon. It’s more comfortable than my standard rollator. It’s also easier to move around since it folds inward, I can push it while moving it in and out of the house, which reduces how much lifting I need to do. It feels a little heavier than my standard rollator but it’s still quite manageable. And it feels very sturdy and just well designed. 10/10. I only wish I could get it in another color, but that’s a small complaint in the grand scheme. I also got a few cupholders and clips to go with it, and they went on easily.

Dangerous Design Flaws — Serious Safety Risk! This model has a major design flaw: each front wheel is supported by only a single frame arm. Because of this weak structure, the wheels swivel and tip even over small cracks or uneven pavement. (See video). The only way to move it safely is to pull it backward — pushing forward makes the front wheels buckle and tilt dangerously. If we hadn’t noticed in time and continued walking briskly while pushing our dad in wheelchair mode, he could have been thrown from the seat — an extremely dangerous situation. I also have a video when my dad was jerked forward and I had to turn around to pull him instead; but Amazon limits to only 1 video . For reference, our dad weighs only 160 lbs, so his weight is not enough to damage or distort the wheels. This is clearly a design defect, not user misuse. I reported the issue to the manufacturer over a week ago. Their representative offered to replace the distorted wheels, but I told her — why would I continue using a product with such a dangerous flaw? Replacing the wheels doesn’t fix the unsafe design. The company has shown no real concern and taken no corrective action. I will insist Amazon to take back the item and refund me in full. I strongly discourage anyone from buying this model until it’s recalled and properly redesigned for safety.

My wife has a variant of Parkinson's, and had tried other walkers. This one works so well we now own two, one for the house, and one we keep in the back of the car so it is always with us when we go out. The fact that it folds to just 8 inches thick or so makes it easy to transport. The build quality is excellent, brakes work well, it is a great example of good engineering, as it is both sturdy and lightweight. This item is perfect for those with conditions that allow them to walk but who tire quickly, as this allows for a rapid conversion from walker to pushable wheelchair.
