2.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I recently had an ankle surgery and I currently have a half leg cast with a non-weight bearing left leg. I bought this item thinking that it would provide me more flexibility than a pair of crutches. I was wrong.. This particular item is useless. It does not have a steering wheel, so it only goes in straight lines. Moreover, since it is bulky, it is quite difficult to maneuver. The foam pad was quite thick but it did not have soft cushion. The pressure it exerted on my cast was so much that it started hurting on my ankle. The brakes were not working well. Moreover, they were pre-installed for a right hand use. Since my cast was on left leg, i needed to reverse them. Although the instructions stated that it was quite easy, but I could not change the brakes them from right handed to left handed after repeated try.
The worst of all, even though I returned the item after trying the item for just one day at home, I was charged an 18% restocking fee. On top of that they charged me the shipping fee for the original shipment to me, even though it had been shipped free to me in the beginning. At the end I only got $169.33 back. Needless to say that I paid additional $20 for shipping it back to them. All in all a loss of $73 for me.
In summary, a complete waste of time and money. I would recommend going for a walker which has steering capability. Otherwise, it is just not worth it.
