Great walker!
I’ve used this for nearly 2 years. It’s held up very well. It enables me to go over uneven surfaces. It’s heavy and not easy to load in the car so it’s not easy to transport. It is very stable and I can stand right either way it. Other rolling walkers seem to make people stoop.

The pneumatic tires do help significantly when navigating grassy or rougher terrain.
I purchased this walker for my handicapped son. He had an earlier model of the Oasis Space upright walker which he wore out completely (it had a long and useful life) and we shopped for a better model/brand allowing that we would need to pay much more. After all my research we ended up back with Oasis Space. He loves his new walker. For us, it requires more attention to his turns in the house because our home was built in the 60's so the doors and hallway are narrower than current standards. I did prepare myself for the fact that it is a few pounds heavier than his previous model and the larger wheels require more attention to placement when loading into the trunk of my car. However, the stability and maneuverability are worth the additional effort on my part. We had one front wheel that failed in less than 6 months, but Oasis Space promptly and professionally shipped the replacement wheel to us, and my husband was able to change the wheel with very little trouble. Thank you, Oasis Space, for the ease of assembly and the reasonable pricing that allows families to remain as active as possible in spite of physical handicaps!

Well built, some caveats, I suggest someone should accompany, assist and monitor usage
Product arrived well packaged, undamaged. Quality of materials, construction & design - surprisingly good. Even taking my time, I had it assembled in 30 - 40 minutes. Instructions are kind of spartan, have small example pictures. You'll "get there" but the manual could be improved.The Good:* If you are short, like 5 foot 2, or under, then you won't be hunched over much as you walk.* The Oasis Space walker unit looks good and the fit and finish on the wheels and main assembly seem well made.* The cupholder and front storage pouches are nice ideas.* The user of this device always has a place to stop and sit - in case they suddenly get winded or tired.* The wheels are large enough to actually be useful. You'll be ok if you are going over minor 1/2" diameter twigs etc.The bad:* The hand brakes are a "nice idea" BUT in the heat of battle (i.e. actual usage where a surprise comes up) the average elderly person is not going to have the wrist flexibility or reaction time to make use of them. The main legitimate use is for anchoring the Oasispace when one has to sit and recharge.* Height click level 3 is just sufficient height for my wife who a 5ft 1in tall grandmother and most definitely a senior citizen. We may eventually adjust the vertical support to the highest setting of "4".BOTTOM LINE: It does not appear this product is designed with midsized to taller adults (i.e. above 5ft 2 inches) in mind.While it is not impossible for someone above 5ft 2 to use this product, I think this rollerator will be more likely to snag or trip.TIRES: You want to be careful if you are using a powerful electric inflator like my Milwaukie or a DeWalt, etc. The difference between fully inflating and going to far and blowing the tire is small.Locking the expanded unit fully into place is something you'll need to learn how to do. Undoing the lock "latch arms" (that mate with 2 tangs in the assembly) is a little bit of a learning curve.IMPORTANT: 1. Watch for inclines, especially downward slopes. Don't let this "get away from you". This is a real safety concern I have.2. Watch for pits, potholes, disjointed sidewalk ridges and twigs larger than 1/2 " diameter.ANECDOTE: My wife, nearly tipped forward and over when the wheel swerved into a little pit/ indentation next to a concrete driveway incline. This happened in a flash, I had turned my back for a minute thinking she was self managing well, and MOST OF THE TIME, she is able to.OK, look, buy this, it's a good product BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE USED ALONE if the user is elderly or impaired. Always go out with an assistant. That's MY opinion. YMMV.UPDATE 4-21-2024: A week ago, we raised the height adjustment of this walker to level marker "4" and things (ergonomics, comfort) got a lot better for my 5ft tall wife.UPDATE: 5-04-2024 I bought a roll of this Yellow Reflective Tape --> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MQ1WP68/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and cut a bunch of 4 or 5 inch strips and "doctored" the outside of the walker. At one point on our daily walk, we have to use a marked crosswalk with no light on a minor, but busy arterial and we find that drivers either "play dumb" or are simply ruthless and have no mercy as far as acknowledging our need to cross that street. This is added visibilty - we still look out for ourselves. It's especially helpful at twilight. God Bless the people with enough class and awareness to stop for impaired pedestrians. We also have a couple of USB charged yellow reflective wrist bracelets.

Takes the strain off of your lower back and keeps you from hunching over!
Let's face it -- nobody ever said "Oh goodie -- I need a walker!" These things are, at best, an acknowledgement of our aging bodies and their limitations. That said, if you need one, it might as well be a good one! And there's none better.The lower rolling walkers encourage you to bend over and put weight on your hands and wrists. This fella makes you stand up straight and gives you support in doing so. This particular model has larger wheels and is better suited to outdoor use than the others. It's true that you still have to pay attention -- pavement potholes can do nasty things to your stability. Also it's a bit heavier and bulkier than the others. Getting it into a car trunk can be problematic on occasion. You may have the reset the uprights to a lower setting and rearrange the junk in your trunk. But aside from that, it's a darned good walking machine!How good is this? Well, as we use this on our daily walks or at the botanic gardens it seems that we keep selling them to the folks who see us! Now if only we could get a commission for the referrals...
