Unboxing
The Z52 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 of high quality throughout, with no visible manufacturing defects, 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 Z52 rollator in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The product impresses with its powerful braking system, which makes it easy to lock the tyres and therefore offers a high level of safety . The manoeuvrability and manoeuvrability is excellent thanks to the 30 cm front wheels and 25 cm rear wheels, so that the rollator can be moved easily even on uneven terrain. The puncture-proof rubber tyres ensure a smooth ride. The Z52 can be quickly folded to a compact size and, at 9.4 kg, is ideal for transport and storage. The ergonomic handles are height-adjustable in 7 positions and thus adapt perfectly to the user’s height. Practical details such as a water cup holder, a stick holder and a removable storage bag make the rollator particularly suitable for everyday use and a reliable companion for outdoor activities. Customers can currently choose between the colours champagne, yellow, grey and black.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.7 stars. In individual cases, there is criticism that the rollator was delivered in a defective condition. On the other hand, the stability, high-quality workmanship, modern design and value for money are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive points. However, the criticism from consumers was not justified.
Prices of over €1,000 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €90 . The Z52 rollator from VOCIC is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €279.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
