4 Wheels

the left back wheel sticks and the handles are not tall enough . So what do we do

I work at a church, and over the past couple of years we've had several members undergo surgery and ask if we know anyone who could loan them a rollator for their rehab and/or recovery - especially those rehabbing at home. We decided to get one for the church to keep on hand for such cases. We're mostly happy with this one. It's on the less expensive end of the spectrum and is somewhat of a no-frills unit though overall it's solid. It arrived mostly assembled, requiring only the attachment of the hand brakes using a big easy star knob and the attachment of a backrest bar using a simple push button mechanism. Very easy assembly. The rollator handles my 220lb body just fine with a fair amount of my weight applied to it. The claimed weight capacity of 300lbs seems a tad high to me, especially if the user will need to put a significant amount of their weight on the handlebars. As long as the user has some reasonably stability, though, it seems fine. The brakes work well and the wheels move smoothly. The seat is convenient and feels completely sturdy holding me. It also lifts easily for access to the storage pouch underneath. Ultimately this unit isn't the best of the best, but it isn't priced to be either. As an occasional loaner, however, it fits our needs perfectly.

I donated this to our church for the senior's ministry. I watch it being used frequently at church. It has taken a licking and still ticking as well as holding up well. I haven't heard anyone complaining about anything. I've seen individuals sitting on it being rolled and pushed. I love that the seat doubles as a storage compartment and the seat is also firm and steady. It's a nice an heavy piece of equipment which makes me think it's really safe for the precious cargo. Everything works as it should meaning the wheels roll effortlessly as well as the brakes including the handles for breaking.

I was looking forward to a rollator that has an actual seat versus the fabric versions. Unfortunately, the Pepe walker is quite uncomfortable. The frame is narrow and digs into my hips. To be fair though, I do have big hips. The handles adjust through a bolt and star wheel, but mine was missing a bolt so I’ll have to replace it. The brake wires poke out way too far and snag on things, but some cable ties should fix that. I do not like the brakes. The mechanism seems like it’s going to snap any second and the plastic levers are cheap. Since the wheels don’t have much traction, when the brakes are applied for sitting or slowing down, the rollator still moves. If you’re into outdoor activities and like taking rougher paths, this might not be for you. These small wheels are better suited for indoor strolling and did not fair well on grass, gravel, woodchips, pebbles, etc. I could feel every single vibration and stumbled several times. The frame is very lightweight and I can lift it with ease, but trying to get it into my vehicle was a hassle. The joints are almost stiff enough that it holds its folded position if you’re leaning it against a wall. However, it becomes a bit floppy if you want to lift it/lay it down. The seat also folds all the way back and has a loose fit as well. My plan was to leave this in my vehicle full time and use it for grocery shopping, etc. Unfortunately, the included bag doesn’t have much depth and not all the snaps are secured well enough, so the straps pop open.

We are having guests over, and this makes it easier for one of them to get around. This is light, and while it is a bit big to use on stairs, it is easy to help our guest while i carry this to the other end.

But it works. It was easy to figure out how to operate the unit. It can hold up to 300 pounds, which is important information. For the price, it is more than acceptable. When you or a relative or friend need one of these, you will be more than happy to have it available for use.

This walker is perfect! There were so many priced a lot higher, but I'm so happy I choose this one! Its easy to use and is easy to put in the car. Very happy with this purchase!!!
