Ive tried Rosco and drive medical.......Rosco seat is more comfortable....Rosco fits in tight places better....the only fault i see with Rosco is the frame is shorter and may tip sideways more easly

We liked this one because we rented the exact one previously from a medical suppy store and really like how it steered around the house, and its not too bulky, it fits in the trunk of our car. Our son broke his ankle and it was very handy for him around the house..

It looked more sturdy to me and the seat looked better. It is sturdy and was easy to put together. Can't recall now all the things I was looking at that made me decide on this one, but did quite a bit research before I made my decision. This one is easy to ride on and height adjustment was easy.

Hi, the price was important to me however this was purchased for my husband who weighs 260 and has balance issues. I also needed to make this purchase quickly. I just thought it would be more stable for him. The basket is important as you can't hold anything in your hands. We are very happy with this purchase. Good luck.

This knee roller seem to look more durable in the pictures. I thought the description was better than the other one that you are looking at. The knee rest part looked softer on this model. This model is made in the USA and not imported. The basket is so handy. I recommend this knee roller so much. I have used it for the last 6 weeks and its so much better than crutches. more freedom then crutches.

I had rented one without a basket, and I decided to purchase one with a basket. The basket has made life so much easier.

I am not familiar with the 790 model. But I can tell you, the one I bought, had a limited turning radius.

We thought this one looked very sturdy compared to others we were looking at. We were super pleased with this one and it was easy to put together and adjust for the height we needed and it came in about three days which really surprised us. The seat is a nice padded one but we bought the cover to go over the seat which made it even more comfortable for the knee.

Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here. I just bought the large, and I am 5'10, but I have a 30" inseam and it fits ok and I have even had to adjust the seat up quite a bit more than I was expecting. I added a diamondback pillowtop saddle, since I am new to biking also and the saddle that it comes with was killing me. If you are mechanically adept, you can assemble the bike easily but it is good to have a REAL bike shop look it over, the box store assembled mine and it ended up scratched, with under inflated tires, the brakes squeaked, handle bars were not aligned properly, and the deraillers needed adjustment Check again, they are all 3 now available at another place... most frequent GOOGLE result and for 200 less than here.

The knee pad is deep and comfortable. I would not say that it is easy for me to fold and lift, but I am not very strong. It would be difficult if you were the one needing it. When i am perfectly healthy, I could probably get it folded and put in and out of a car, but not when I was the patient. I'm 5'7" and weigh 115 pounds and in good physical shape. The knee walker is sturdy and to be sturdy, it has to have some weight to it. I have used it for 3 foot surgeries and lent it out to others several times and am about to again.

I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect. I does take some maneuvering inside but passes over rugs and thresholds easily compared to stand up walker. It truly is all terrain as I've been in grass, gravel, streets without problem. However, watch and tighten the bottom screw between the front wheel cables as it loosens & could easily be lost. We also had to adjust brakes substantially. Brake shouldn't be counted on to stop you! I covered black pad with lambswool (the real stuff from Ocean State Job Lots as a floor buffer mat @$5) as knee can get sore and sun absorbs blistering heat. Love that this size is substantially cheaper than next size up, too I, too, am 5'5" & find this model perfect.

I believe the quality is better, and though I don't know exactly which model you're referring to at Amazon, this model has wheels, and can be moved around easily. My husband is a large man, and I wouldn't have felt he was safe using a lesser quality model long term. Hope this helps.

Just bought a pair at a local sporting goods store. They're supposed to have bigger ball bearings (thus smoother rotation) and appear bigger than the original Perfect Pushups. Also they're manufactured by a different company, although both endorsed by the same creator, Alden Mills. Also they're about double the price. I would say they're worth it if you don't mind the price tag.

It is very stable. I did not take it on rocky roads because I could not walk on uneven ground, I would take it very slow. It has a wide wheel base and I never felt like it might tip. It was a life saver for me when I grocery shopped or went to the hospital for physical therapy. I have since recovered enough that I do not need it anymore. BUt I think it is the best walker on the market.

I do NOT have lane assist so I cannot really tell you if it is worth the extra bucks, but I do have a garmin with the spoken street names, and I love it. I had one before that did not have it and for me it was a huge difference between the two. Since the spoken street names will tell you the next exit you need, my thinking was that I really would not need the lane assist, I'm not sure how much more helpful the little arrows would be, but certainly not worth the extra money FOR ME if I can READ the signs on the expressway prior to Garmin telling me which exit that I need to take. Again, I do NOT have lane assist, that was my justification for NOT getting it. Should you pick a newer Garmin that will have the ability to interact with your computer, do not be detered by some of the garmins if they that do not have the usb cable that you desire inside of the box. The cable that they require, is the same one that comes with most digital cameras and the are really cheap. You should be able to find one for less than five bucks (w/shipping included) here on Amazon. I recently purchased a pair of them for five bucks at the 'bullseye' store. They were branded for the ps3's wireless controllers and they work perfectly for the Garmin. My Garmin does not have the traffic feature, so I don't know much about that either. IF you go to the garmin website, they have a side by side comparision feature that allows you to choose two or more models and compare them side by side in an effort to help you narrow down the model that you desire with the features that you want. I do think that you will be pleased with whatever you model number that you choose. Most appear to get you from point A to point B with very little problems. Also, be on the look out for the after thanksgiving sales when they are usually very deeply discounted for a few hours in brick and mortar and here on Ammy. Best of luck to ya

Hi David, since my husband has severe back issues. I did a lot of research online and was worried about him having to reach so low to lock in the ankle adjustment. I chose the 960 for the ease and comfort for him. the 960 model also has longer handles on each side as well as other handles to grip or push for more of a stretch. which I seem to like more than he does. If you'd like more info I looked up on You Tube a side by side comparison. I'm including the link for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a21CTqahr4o. He is a little slow to get started if you start the video about 1:43. he will get into more of the description and will show the differences on each one. I hope this helps.

Have not taken it outside yet. I use it mainly in the house which has rough terrain just as irregular. However any thing designed like any knee walker tipping is always possible. I would suggest to practice with it to see how it handles for you. Quoted Over all it works well for me.

Jay, I am 6'4" with a large frame and had knee replacement surgery in Oct 2013. I was having trouble finding a bike that was reasonable priced and could handle the leg length. I read some reviews and decided to take a chance on the bike. I extend the seat all the way out and it is fine. It would be nice to have another slot to move back but is adequate for my rehab/ exercise. Positives are it is easy to put together and is very quiet. I can ride it in the exercise room and you can not hear it in operation outside the room. Some comments have been made about the display being difficult to see but I find it adequate for my needs. It is a dated design but if you want things in color you will have to pay a couple hundred bucks for a upgrade. Good luck and hope this helps.

This is a knee walker. You place your leg and knee on the seat. It is very comfortable. I had foot surgery so my foot never rested on the seat. Wheels are approximately 10 inches in diameter. I thought it was the best of what is available, and all in all, I was delighted. Much easier to handle and turn than other knee walkers.

It looks to me like the only difference is the handle. I have the LU, but didn't pay $80 for it. I got mine because the handle arm part was very long, good for pushing then pulling it back to me stepping to the side and doing it again (less walking). Good luck on your decision. I still love mine 3 - 4 winter later working great!

I would be hesitant to answer a question as to whether this walker would be appropriate for an 80 lb 4'10" frail woman, as I am not a nurse or doctor. It would depend..not because I don't think it's a strong and good quality walker, but because I don't know the person using it. Is she able to use the brakes? Does she lean forward when she walks? Etc. etc. For many frail people, healthcare providers suggest a regular walker..with wheels in the front but not in the back..because they feel it provides more stability. With wheeled walkers, if someone is not strong enough or aware enough, a wheeled walker can propel them forward and have them lose their balance. I would talk to her doctor before you purchase.

I am sorry I can not answer your question. I just used the walker for a month. I had knee surgery and I used the walker just as I got it.

there's a black knob in the front just tighten it, but actually better not increasing it a lot, as it will get hot and start whistling. I had the problem of it making noise until I used my head and figured it was because i had it too tight. It now works beautifully and I use every day for 30 minutes. Had had knee surgery and and I went thru therapy afterwards and one of the other people in there said she had one and loved it, so I asked the therapist and she said by all means when you finish your therapy here, just continue using the Stamina. I love it. Been using about 1 month now and not only does my knee feel better but both legs love the exercise, as i'm not an outside walker, great little machine and great price. Good luck !
