Drive Medical Duet Dual Function Transport Wheelchair Walker Rollator, Blue

I bought this walker due to it being a transport walker in addition to a regular walker with larger wheels. I have to use it daily as a regular walker and am very happy using it that way. It is heavier than a regular walker which can be a good and bad thing! The bearings in one of the front wheels has already failed and I have only had it for 4 months. I had to look on line for parts and was fortunate to find what I need. I’m so lucky that I have someone that has the knowledge to fix it. I’m waiting for the part that I just ordered and hope everything will turn out right.

Much better than standard rolator.

Just bought this Rollator/Transport chair. It is a great idea when using it as a simple rollator to walk on your own. And if the walk is to far, sit down on the opposite side, put your feet on the foot rest and let someone else do the pushing. It is like part walker....part wheel chair. However, it is a TIPPING HAZARD on the side where the foot rest is. Lean over to far, over you go!! Happened to me in a store. Reached down to pick up something I dropped....over on the floor I went! BE CAREFUL...IT WILL TIP OVER. Need to redesign the legs on the transporter side. Legs need to come out as far on the transporter side as it does on the rollator side.

I've asked this question about extending handles a couple different times and keep getting the same response - You aren't listening. Love to give you a good review unfortunately until you answer my question, I can't

I bought walker for it's strength and larger wheels. I do not use the transport feature but it is nice to have it if you need it. I use daily and put it in and out of car. The handle that is attached to the cargo bag ripped loose. Walker is heavier then your average walker and handle not up to the job. The bearings in one of the wheels has failed now. The walker is 7 months old. I am looking for repairs now and came across the review. Great walker but they need to upgrade some parts.

Bought for wife and it's excellent! Versatile, convenient, easy to use and maneuver. Previously had Drive rollator but wanted foot rest. Your arm rests aid getting on and off the unit. Nice design and construction.

Given to me for my birthday and have been very well pleased with it. The only thing I wish was better is the backrest. I find if you lay against it very much it will cause a sore spot on your spine.

I can't believe that these are still being sold. We purchased one for my mom, to take on vacation with us. When being used as a transport chair, if the wheels encounter even the slightest resistance, such as a threshold, a crack in the sidewalk, etc., the chair will pitch forward and toss the rider to the ground. We ended up pulling rather than pushing the chair. It is dangerous to use otherwise.

I really like this dual action walker/wheelchair. Sometimes I can’t make to my destination by walking, so my husband can push me.

It was definitely money well spent. My ordered arrived in two days and everything was intact. The blue color is gorgeous. I purchased this item for my husband who has difficulty with walking for extended periods of time. It got to the point where I noticed him withdrawing and not wanting to go anywhere because he couldn't keep up with the walking pace of the grandchildren and I when out and about. This dual function transport wheelchair walker is a life-saver, especially for walking around in stores and large malls. When he got tired of pushing it as a walker we just took turns pushing him after easily converting it to a transport wheelchair with the drop down foot rest. It was easy to push and easy to maneuver the wheels down tight store aisles. I must admit that It did take me a few minutes at first to learn how to break it down to fit in the trunk of my Toyota Corolla, but practice makes perfect. I just needed to shift some things around that were already inside my trunk to make it fit. It's similar to breaking down a baby stroller and it weighs about twenty pounds. When you or your love one's lifestyle starts becoming compromised because of difficulty with walking I would highly recommend that you purchase one because it's cost efficient because you're getting both a dual walker & transport wheelchair in one item. They will be happier and you will be happier too.

I purchased this duet looking for something I can push my 87 year old dad in and also let him walk. The wheelchair I had was too heavy. I really like the duet it problem us wheels and seat. Wheels need to be made of rubber and a bit sturdier. Seat needs to be changed to a softer one and made with a belt of some kind so the elderly don't feel they will fall. I'm trying to change wheels hopefully I'll be happier..

I have used my duet quite a lot as both a walker and transport chair. It's been a life saver on 2 cruises with excursions, airplanes 8 times, of course left at the door of the plane to be placed below during the flights, weddings, a funeral and in and out of our cars about a million times. When I am feeling well enough to drive, I am able to slide it in and out of my trunk alone, as long as I can sit on my bumper! Very easy fold/unfold and secure lock in both positions. Like other reviewers, i would love to see a cushioned seat and larger, shock absorbing wheels as being a rider over bumpy terrain, like brick walkways, can be jarring. Going through doorways with any sort of threshold or the many seams in a ships construction, must be navigated backward for ease and safety. And the first time we used it as a chair and, of course were late for a doctor appointment and going over cracked asphalt, I found myself (the passenger) sprawled out on the ground because a front wheel got caught in a crack. But I still love it! We just know it's limitations. So, are there things that could be improved? Yes. But there isn't anything else on the market that gives me the freedom of walking when I can and the security of being able to sit or ride when I need to, with this durability for the price!!

My wife is disabled and has been using a rollator for several years. She recently tripped and fell and broke her left foot. this required surgery to fix and she is now confined to a wheelchair as she can't walk. The wheelchair will fit our hallway but will not go through the bedroom or bathroom doors. She has to sit in the rollator and be pushed into the bedroom and bathroom. This,of course, is not what the rollatore is designed for. I saw the Duet at the DMG store and immediately knew this was what we needed. Now I did not buy ours from a store. I bought ours in a private sale from an individual who's wife had used it one time for 20 min,s. This is the best thing that we could have ever purchased. We now don't have to transfer her from the wheelchair to the Duet as she uses it instead of the wheelchair both at home and away. I highly recommend the Duet to anyone using both a rollator and wheelchair or even just a rollator. It will change your life.

Bought this about a year ago for a cruise. Front wheels caved in the first time it was used as a transport chair. Ship's maintenance man made it useable as a walker. Weight listed as 300 pounds, but husband only weighs 225. Great disappointment.

As a walker this is fine. I use it all the time. As a transport chair I every time I have tried to use it I have ended up on the ground. Thank God no serious injury but getting up is a struggle. My husband who is well-versed in mechanics says it's because it it is not long enough to be turned around. I searched long and hard to find something that would double as a wheelchair… This is not it. I paid extra money to get that benefit which I cannot use. Save your dollars and buy a different Rollator

It's good as a walker. In fact I cannot fault it one bit as a walker. The adjustable handles makes it easy for anyone regardless of height to use this. The problems with it being a wheelchair is that it doesn't feel sturdy enough to handle being outdoors. Someone of a small frame and not weighing much would be suited for this, but anyone tall and over 200lbs would most likely find this uncomfortable. I stand around 5'10 and wear a size 11.5 shoe. My feet didn't fit on the rest bar comfortably, too narrow and in order to even put my feet on it and be comfortable I had to adjust the bar to move it further away from the seat. not a problem, except in order to fold it back into the walker for transport or storage, you have to adjust it back to the factory setting. Alright if your indoors and maybe have someone to do it for you, but if your caught outside in the rain,etc.. you'd be scrambling to get it done and getting drenched in the process, as it's not something you can do easily in just 30 seconds. For these reasons and a scratched up paint job obviously done before leaving the factory I returned this and just bought a proper wheelchair. Which by the way, Out of three orders from Drive Medical only one has arrived undamaged. They do not pack there products very good. Don't expect any good instructions on how to assemble anything either. You get a slick fold out like what you would see in a store display and that's it. Your pretty much left to figure it out on your own.

Bought this for my Mom.It is dangerous to use as a transport chair. That is why we chose it. She was happy otherwise, but a wheel has broken in less than a year of use.

Used it once as soon as I got it. Sorry to say it does not go over the slightest uneven surface such as driveway, doorway. It stops abruptly and jerks the patient forward. It is also hard to maneuver.

I regret purchase of this product, especially for use as a transporter. Unless you are transporting someone on a perfectly smooth surface, the transporter is highly prone to coming to an abrupt stop and tipping forward whenever the front wheels encounter a change in surface height even as small as 1/4 inch. Serious risk transporting in parking lots, sidewalks or for example, between rooms with different surfaces such as from carpeting to tile. Even pebbles can stop one of the front wheels and tip the transporter forward dumping your cargo on the ground. OK as a walker, but unsafe at any speed for use to transport your loved ones.

I brought this rollator/transport chair on a family trip abroad. It cannot travel safely over uneven pavement. While being pushed by a responsible adult I was ejected from the chair three times. I was badly bruised. It needs larger wheels and, perhaps, a seat belt.
