I weigh 230 lbs. Is this walker strong enough to secure this weight for extended periods of time?

Yes! My father weighed 265 lbs when he came home from surgery and started using his walker the following week. It took two months for him to drop an additional 30 lbs. This walker was a great support to him while he carried the extra weight. Hope that helps!

Yes! My mother has used this same walker for 2-3 years now and ways over 250 lbs.

The material used is very durable, so just as long as its secure, it should hold up your weight

The DMI is not heavy & was great when I only needed light support, but it would go over sideways if I put weight on it. I went 2 a walker then 2 avoid a fall.

It is fairly strong, I had loaded closed to 200 lbs on the cart and no problem, but it felt heavy when I push the cart.

It depends on where you plan to use it. My husband weighs only 160 pounds, but loves to use this walker because its weight and broad base give him stability. I think it would be fine for a 280 pound person. I disagree with the user who says it is light weight and fits easily through doorways. It doesn't fit through our interior doorways (unless it is partially folded) and there is no way either of us could ever lift it into any car. We keep a smaller lighter walker for indoor use and for taking in the car.

I would say yes since I weigh 205 lbs and it seemed to hold up well; but I was relatively careful with it since it didn't seem to be heavy-duty construction. If you're extremely heavy, say over 225 lbs., then I wouldn't think it would hold up for long.

Well, I bought this hemi-walker for my mother. She weighs 120 pounds. My guess would be that this walker, being made of aluminum, would support no more than 150 lbs. It is light weight, easy to lift and put forward, but to put full weight on it.... the walker legs could bend. The legs are adjustable with spring pins on the sides -- it is those pins that I think would not stand for more pressure. That is my opinion :-)

I am 180lb and its holding ok.. I doubt if its good for 250, legs looks not that much solid..

Yes, it supports my 200 pounds, but be careful. Actually, just tried it. It held me, but as others said it isn't really a step. I wouldn't do it again withot being able to hold on to something.

Well, I'm 210 lbs and when I got it, I steped up on it and jumped up and down a few times.It held up to that with no problems.

The Breeze assists in balance. It is not designed to be weight-bearing, like a traditional walker. My guess is that the dimensions are sufficient for a 300 lb. person. However, I do not know if it is "strong" enough for such a weight. You would have to consult the manufacturer.

My husband is about 230 lbs and we don't have any concerns with the ladder holding his weight. But the bottom has to be solidly placed or it may slip.

I'm 230 lbs and have no issue with it. Not sure of an actual limit, however.

Well I weigh 238lbs and have walked on the floor with no problems. You could add some extra support to the floor.

Yes, very sturdy! I am 230lb and 6'5" and I have stood on it. Very structurally sound.

It is very sturdy. My son is 6'2" and weighs 230 and has had no problem. He's used it for well over a year.
