Unboxing
The Z51 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 given on sustainability , the use of robust materials and 5 years of product support suggest a durable design.

As part of our practical test, we tested the Z51 rollator in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The product impresses with its flexible 2-in-1 design, which can be used both as a walking aid and as a wheelchair . All you need to do is fold down the backrest. The high-quality workmanship made of sturdy aluminium and the sensitive, smooth-running braking system offer safety, especially for people with weaker muscles. Thanks to the shock-absorbing outdoor rubber tyres, the product is easy to manoeuvre on various surfaces and remains stable even on uneven terrain. The smooth-running tyres make pushing comfortable and easy. The ergonomic handles are height-adjustable in 7 positions and therefore adapt perfectly to the user’s height. The Z51 can be quickly folded to a compact size, making it ideal for transport and storage. Additional features such as the walking stick holder, reflectors and a practical storage bag round off the range. Customers can currently choose between the colours blue, red and obsidian black.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. In some cases, the tyres are criticised for being too unstable. On the other hand, the assembly, seating comfort, quality and value for money are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive points. However, the criticism from consumers was not justified.
Prices of over €750 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €144 . The Z51 rollator from VOCIC is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €299.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
