The Z21 rollator is packed with great care to ensure that it is optimally protected during transport. The sturdy cardboard box provides a reliable layer of protection to ensure that the product arrives at its destination undamaged. Despite the avoidance of unnecessary packaging waste, the use of plastic film could be seen as critical for some consumers. The product packaging contains a rollator. A multilingual and illustrated instruction manual is also included.

The Z21 rollator makes a very positive impression at first glance. The appealing, modern design immediately catches the eye and combines elegance with functionality. The workmanship is consistently high quality, with no visible manufacturing faults, which speaks in favour of careful production. The high stability of the rollator should be emphasised, which also conveys a feeling of safety and reliability in daily use. Although no specific information is provided on sustainability , the use of robust materials and five years of product support indicate a durable design.

As part of our practical test, we tested the Z21 rollator in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The product impresses with its innovative braking system with three modes (drive, brake and park), which makes it easy to lock the tyres and ensures a high level of safety. The manoeuvrability of the rollator is excellent thanks to the 360° rotating front wheels, which enable effortless manoeuvring and overcoming obstacles. The puncture-proof wheels ensure a smooth ride. The Z21 can be quickly folded to a compact size and, at just 8.8 kg, is ideal for transport and storage. The ergonomically shaped handles are height-adjustable in five positions and therefore adapt perfectly to the user’s height. The ergonomic Bionic seat with thick, water-repellent padding and the wide, breathable backrest offer additional comfort. Practical details such as a removable storage bag make the rollator particularly suitable for everyday use and a reliable companion. Customers can currently choose between the colours dark red, orange, sapphire blue, star silver and black.

Points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. In individual cases, there are complaints that the rollator collapsed after a certain time. On the other hand, the stability, manoeuvrability, sophisticated design and value for money are positively emphasised. We were able to confirm the positive points in our practical test. Due to the short test period, we are unable to comment on this point of criticism.
Prices of over € 1,000.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €65.00 . The Z21 rollator from VOCIC is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €99.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
