Drive Medical 10210-1 2-Button Folding Walker with Wheels, Rolling Walker, Front Wheel Walker, Lightweight Walkers for Seniors and Adults Weighing Up To 350 Pounds, Adjustable Height, Silver

Here’s my personal experience setting up and using the Drive Medical deluxe two button folding walker that I just got from Amazon. And I’ve included my own pictures too, to show you what I’m talking about.First, I liked that this Drive Medical folding walker came in flat box that was only 4” deep, which made it really easy to lift, carry up steps and into the house.It was also easy to open the box and slide out the walker. The walker is folded flat, out of the box, and the front wheels and back leg extensions are separated into plastic bags.Putting the legs on this Drive Medical walker was much easier than I thought. And I really love that I put the whole walker together without any tools! You just slide on the front legs (with wheels), and back legs, onto the existing walker legs. And you can adjust this walkers height by aligning the holes in the leg extensions with the locking button on each of the existing walker legs.Really, it was very easy to attach all 4 legs and adjust it to my height. As you can see, I’m pretty short, so I set my walker legs to the #2 position.Now, I gotta say, I was worried about how this walker would fit through my doorways & hallways. A few of my hallways are narrow and I was worried that this walker would be just too wide. BUT, here’s a very helpful solution I really want to share because I think it can help a lot of people: when I was reading reviews of different walkers, I found a great tip on [...] that showed me how to reduce the width of my walker by just switching the wheels!It’s a really EASY fix: just take the front left & right legs, with wheels, and reverse them. And you’ll see that your wheels are now sitting inside the frame of the walker. Not on the outside. By switching the position of the front wheels, I cut down my walker width by almost 4”! And now my hallways are not a problem. I found this easy fix on [...]I tried out the push button release, at the top of the walker, to unfold the two sides. I was happy to see that the red release button was easy to press down. I have a little neuropathy (numbness) in my fingers, so I have to avoid buttons or levers that are hard to press down. But I didn’t have any problems using the red release button on this walker to fold & unfold it.This Drive Medical Walker is light, but it still feels very sturdy to me. The 5” wheels roll smoothly and I don’t see that the wheels have made any marks on my floors. (That’s important to me.)The hand grips on this walker are cushioned and I think anyone would like the way they feel. I’m going to try this walker for a while, and if the neuropathy in my fingers flares up, I can just get inexpensive, even more cushy walker handgrips covers to help.All in all, I really love this foldable walker and I would recommend it to any friend of mine. I guess, the only thing that I think could be improved would be to clearly mark the legs with wheels to show that they should be put on the front of the walker. When I first put on all the legs, I put the wheels on the back. Wrong. It was my mistake, I know, and I could easily fix it, but I think the directions/packaging could have been a little bit clearer.All in all, I think this walker is a winner. In my opinion, it’s a great mix of quality & price.

This is a really nice walker. It is made of aluminum so it’s lightweight (7.5 pounds) but it’s also very strong. It’s recommended for people up to 350 pounds.Each side folds independently of the other side. Just press a big comfortable button on one side, fold it and then repeat on the other side. You don’t need 3 hands to do it.One dimension on the spec sheet is a little misleading. It shows the distance between the bottom of the front legs to be 24 inches. That is actually the width of the outside of the front legs including the wheels. The distance between the front legs is about 17 inches. If you need to squeeze through a door that’s narrower than 24 inches, it’s easy to do because of the walker’s light weight makes it easy to maneuver through narrow spaces. The distance front to back at the bottom of the legs including the wheels is just under 20 inches.It is also a very good piece of exercise equipment. I use it to do all sorts of balance exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises. Many videos of exercises you can do with a walker can be found on Youtube and other websites.One thing to be aware of is that the bottom of the back legs have “new improved” sliders that slide easier than older ones do. You have to be careful that the walker doesn’t slide away from you. You can modify the sliders or buy different ones if this bothers you.All in all, it’s a very nice walker.

Got this for my brother in law since he has trouble walking. Was easy to assemble. Easy for him to open and close and nice and sturdy. Makes it possible for him to walk.

Excellent Product

The exact same product that you would get from the medical supply company at a quarter of the price. Medicare will only pay for one mobility item in 5 years. Self pay for this or the cane on the off chance you might need a wheelchair. Amazon makes it possible. You must assemble but it’s not difficult. Attach the wheeled legs so the wheels are on the outside of the frame unless the wheels in this position make accessing the bathroom or other necessary rooms that have narrow doors difficult. In that case switch the legs so the wheels are positioned on th inside of the walker legs. This will narrow the base so no taking corners at speed! Put the plastic caps on the back legs. You can also get “ski” attachments with upturned front edges making transition to different surface easier. Adjust the walker height so that when you are standing upright, your elbows are bent about 30 degrees. Stand upright and push the walker along like a shopping cart. Keep the walker close to you when walking so that each heel strike lands within the footprint on the walker.

Walker was easily assembled, and it easily fit through our hallway in our park model trailer.Very sturdy construction.

This walker has exceeded my expectations in every way! Assembly was incredibly simple—it took just a few minutes with clear instructions and no tools required. Once set up, I was immediately impressed by how quiet it is while in use. Unlike other walkers that can be clunky or squeaky, this one glides smoothly and silently, which is especially appreciated around the house.The maneuverability is fantastic—turns are easy to make, and it handles tight spaces well without feeling bulky or unstable. It’s also lightweight enough to lift into a car, yet sturdy enough to feel completely secure when walking.

It is lightweight, yet sturdy. I had an injury and needed walking support temporarily. It was easy to put the legs on to the desired height. The folding mechanism is not difficult and the weight makes it much easier for me to put it in the back seat of my car when I am solo, than the heavier ones with seats.
