The stability of the rollator is excellent on level ground, but it shows little suspension on cobblestones. With a load capacity of up to 130 kg , it offers solid support. The brakes work smoothly and have a reliable parking brake. The comfort of the rollator is enhanced by a comfortable seat and ergonomically shaped, height-adjustable handles . The folding mechanism is characterised by easy handling. The rollator is also designed to be space-saving and transportable and is ideal for travelling thanks to its low weight of 8 kg.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. Some criticise that the product seems unstable . On the other hand, the functional design, easy handling and lightweight construction are emphasised positively. We were able to confirm the positive points in our practical test. However, consumer criticism of the instability was not justified.
Prices of up to €500 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €90 . The Vital aluminium rollator from Juskys is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €119.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
