Do you know the turning radius? Will it go around a corner in a hallway in a house? Also, do you have any issues with it tipping over? Thanks

Yes. It will turn sharp. We have turned in a public bus and it will 3 point turn just fine if needed. Yes it will tip over on a hold or uneven surfaces, we sure have. Not great on grass but can manage if watch for holes, or a hill. We love it, and would get another.

I do not know the turning radius but believe it could turn sharp if making a turn going down a hallway, it has never tipped over

Our four year old grandson does some tight turns. That has not been an issue. The battery is heavy and we secured a cinder block in the back "load" area for added weight. No problems with tipping at all.... unless the child drives into a ditch, etc.

Yes, you'll need to flip it around--which is a surprisingly easy motion with a quick twist of the handle. I think if it were on the same side it might easily get in the way.

I had no problem with it tipping over. The battery creates weight in the bottom of the boat to keep it upright. However, getting it to run consistently was difficult--when it was good, it was very very good; when it was bad it was horrid. The battery life was very short. I bought two. It took a lot of time to keep it working from an adult--I bought it to keep my grandchildren entertained. Overall, I think you will be a little disappointed.

I love it, but I do not have to worry about tipping over. It is stable for me, but truth be told, I could tip it very easily. It is not very wide. And it is not very heavy. For someone elderly, you might want to get a bigger heavier model. Or, if you could attach this to a heavy base with 4 U bolts.

I was not even aware that it had to be kept in a corner. We keep ours on a tile floor (not in a corner) and are careful not to set it so that its feet are not on a grout line. We move it to clean under it, but every time we move it, we "zero" it again before using it. To do this, you simply tap your foot on it and then wait for it to register "0" before stepping on it to weigh yourself. It seems accurate to us.

No. I have not mounted this in a corner, the device is flat in the back. I don't think this will work well in a corner.

The brake does not lock which I didn't find to be an issue. After reading a few reviews regarding the single or double back wheels, I went with the single because it doesn't get in the way of your pushing foot. Also, these all-terrain wheels roll over carpets and thresholds, no problem, as well as, sidewalks/pavement and asphalt. Turning radius is not great but if you have room in your home, its perfect. Not having to always use crutches was a plus.

It does turn, but not quickly. It needs a lot of space to make a complete turn, there isn't enough inside of a house for it to turn but outside in a driveway or street it should be fine.

it will make a perfect circle the with of the chair I'D SAY ABOUT 4 FOOT. I turn mine around in my hallway. hope this helps, good luck

Have not taken it outside yet. I use it mainly in the house which has rough terrain just as irregular. However any thing designed like any knee walker tipping is always possible. I would suggest to practice with it to see how it handles for you. Quoted Over all it works well for me.

I have it on what would otherwise be a small 36" circular kitchen table. The table has a drop-leaf which makes it easy to back up against a wall. Tipping is not gonna happen, that would take deliberate effort. My first shipment was broken but got it re-sent no problem and there is no comparable option. Good value.

I haven't had any trouble with it tipping over, but I tried it myself and it did continue to run. That's obviously a safety concern that should be addressed.

Angles aren't a problem at all because the Roomba can follow walls and the edges of furniture. While it does have some degree of logic, it pretty much just bounces off every surface in every direction until it gets the job done. I have a small apartment with too much furniture and it rarely has issues. Once in a while, I'll find it stranded and out of charge at the far end of the apartment but that's most likely because I don't have a lighthouse for it to find its way home reliably. Aside from that, I'd say it works well in any space as long as there aren't things on the floor that can get wrapped around the rollers. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made and I will absolutely buy another one when Roombie croaks.

It really won't tip over. The only concern I would have is that it is narrow inside, and for larger people it may pose a problem getting in and out.

All four casters swivel. I have 80 lb. on them, and they manuever pretty easily. Carpet is a little tougher, but especially on smooth floors you should have no problem cornering.

I highly recommend you use the wall anchor provided. It is taller than most cabinets and narrow, so there is a risk of tipping over.
