How is this walker different from the able life space saver walker?

They look very much the same to me. Maybe price and customer reviews might help with a decision.

I'm not familiar with the able space saver walker but we are happy to have found the metro walker since my mother was not able to get through several doorways with her old walker. It is not as stable as her old walker but seems to be stable enough around the house. I bought it while she was in rehab and the physical therapist gave it her approval.

As far as I can see it is less deluxe than the regular one. Save your money. The only differences I can see are that the straps are silicone for easy cleaning, the seat goes up and down a few notches and the tray has a silicone circle on it to keep plate from sliding. Oh and tray also has a removable smaller part for easier cleaning. Not worth it. Reclining also doesn't work as well as regular space saver seat.

Bought it for my mother last December. She basically uses it in the house along with a walker. I cannot compare her usage with yours. Sorry

Definitely. This walker is so much easier to maneuver and turn in tight spots. My mother loves hers!

This is made of steel. A light weight one would be made of aluminum. There is an advantage it's being of steel and heavier. It provides greater stability that a lighter weight aluminum one would, But can't think of ever seeing an aluminum one. Though they may exist. By the way, This is not a walker. They are quite different. Walkers do not have swiveling wheels nor brakes. And the never have more than two wheels. And they require lifting of the legs without the wheels over and over as you go.. This is a rollaway. And most rotators have four wheels, Their overall width make four wheel rotators impossible to use in most bathrooms. This unit is no problem. This is made of steel.

I am not sure, but I am 81 and lift it in and out of my car often. Find it much lighter than the other walker I have which is why I changed walkers!I think Amazon lists the weight in the description of it!

I don't know the difference, but I did send it back because I found it unstable. I chose the Knee Bug instead, more stable, better turning capacity, and it has a front basket for carrying things.

I don't remember, but I saw it somewhere either on Amazon or the internet on another site. It's light compared to most. That's one reason I got it. My mother likes it a lot over others she's used and the same goes for a friend of mine I gave him my late father's walker. My father preferred this model to other ones he had used also. It's easy to maneuver in small areas.

In my opinion, "hunching over" is more with the patient than the walker. I hunch over, but the walker is not really the cause. These walkers are the very best wheeled walkers. The large wheels are a real bonus on uneven surfaces. The walker is extra sturdy. And above all (for me), it folds flat so it is easy to transport. Get it! You'll love it!

I do not know what the difference is. The one I bought was a waste of money! I bought it to be used in our second home should we have more guests than beds, but it did not work, your body sinks down to the carpeted floor. I was very disappointed for I something similar at this home and it works wonderfully!

I'm not sure. But I will tell you this walker has changed my life. I absolutely love it. It just gives me that edge and confidence to move better.

This is just the basket and not the walker. Almost all walkers are adjustable in height.

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!

It is an excellent narrow walker that will allow you to get through small spaces. But sturdy and steady. Got it for mother and mother in law in 80s. I'd recommend

There isnt a difference. At the time I bought the luggable loo it was the cheapest. So if you found one thats cheaper I would jump on it.

The person we bought it for is 6'5" as well and was using a smaller standard walker with tiny wheels. He has not fallen since he began using the new Rollite. It adjusts for height and the 8-inch wheels make it much easier and smoother.
