Do you need to squeeze the handles in order to roll?

No need to squeeze the handles in order to roll. You only need to squeeze the handles when you want to brake.
1777895
No. In fact rolls rather smoothly. But when coming to any kind of incline, good to break a little.
1777896
No, you dont need to press them to walk. You need to squeeze the handles to break
1777897
No. It is just the opposite if I understand your question. You squeeze the handles and break levers located under the handles to stop (breaks) the rollater.
1777898
No. One sets the brakes with gentle downward pressure on the brake handles. Then, one releases the brakes by gentle upward pressure on the brake handle. The release is a little like a squeeze, but only when releasing the brake.

No, you do not need to squeeze the handles to roll, just roll. You only need to squeeze the handle brakes to slow, hold or lock the brakes.

Not at all!!! I detach the metal rod from one side and slide the roll on and then reattach It. Simple and quick.

No it is not to the best of my knowledge. However it will be heavy when filled up so you will need the handle to roll it around. I find it very useful.

Not really. I mean you can but if you do it repeatedly they will fall out. And you can't roll them down all the way at all.

It can be. It all depends on what you do with the machine. When you let go of the handles, you can swing your arms as if you are walking or jogging. Your legs can be straight or slightly bent. I have a variety of different exercizes that I do. I just keep moving; and before I know it, I've gone 30 minutes plus.

Yes. You will have to have to move it around until you get it positioned where you feel it is doing what you need. This may turn out to be a bit of an awkward position but you can brace it in place with a pillow or wrap it with towel or blanket. These rollers come together kinda' like a big pinch and really do a good job for the $.

No. But the Dorco handles are cheap enough that you probably can afford to just try them out.

Not really. I just stuff something in between to increase the friction. It kind of works but still moves once in a while.

I agree with other response. The rollers make it easier to push onto the arms, but it doesn't roll freely.

Yes. There is a knob you need to pull and you can use the knob to swing the handle into other position.

When you psh down on the bar for folding the handle it also releases the handle to slide back in. It is a little stiff at first and you will probably have to wiggle it from side to side while applying downward pressure but it wil work itself out in time so you won't need to wiggle it.

Yes. You slip the roll over the top and then gently release the tension arm. Easy to load and easy to tear off a towel one-handed. I recommend it.

When using them, the handles will stay together, so it is not a problem. I suppose you could use some sort of clip if you're worried about it.

absolutely - the ball casters mount to the adapters so you still have the ability to "roll". The ball casters have a "lock" latch on them if you do not want to roll. The adapters themselves are not meant to be used without castersHope this helps :)

You manually roll it over. Don't waste your money, I threw it away after a few months ... just plain old scooping is much faster!!

Mine have remained flat, they do not need to be rolled up at all. Nor do they automatically roll up.

Yes, the handles are on pretty strong and are comfortable. As long as you dont plan on swinging it around with full force, you should be good.
