Eezy Roller Front Controller with Joystick

The brake on the handlebar is a game changer for me, my old frame had no brakes at all and I was always frightened on the slope outside the shop. Seat is a nice bonus when my legs start to go.

Was going to buy a plain rollator but glad I spent the extra. Going uphill back from the shops used to wipe me out, now it gives me a gentle push and I'm home in ten minutes.

Folds flat against the wall in the hallway. Wheels are big enough that pavement cracks don't throw it. Only minor gripe is that the bag underneath could be a bit bigger.

After my hip op I was scared to go out on my own. The Roller has me walking to the corner shop again. That sounds small but it isn't.

Bought for my 84-year-old mother. She picked it up faster than I expected. The seat means she can rest mid-walk without having to find a bench.

I'm 17 stone and it doesn't flex or creak. Some of the supermarket trolley-style ones felt flimsy by comparison. Brakes are firm.

They clubbed together. I cried. First proper walk to the cathedral on my own in ages. Thank you Eezychair.

Old knees couldn't take the half mile to the high street. With the assist switched on it's nothing. Daily routine restored.

Folded it goes in the back of the Fiesta no trouble. Daughter is delighted she doesn't have to manhandle the old one.

Coming down our drive used to terrify me. The progressive brake on the handle is a proper engineered thing, not a bicycle squeeze.

Physio noticed the difference at my last appointment. The handle height is just right, I'm not hunching anymore.

Otherwise faultless. I can fit a small shop but a full week's groceries it isn't. Star off for that.

Bognor seafront in all weathers. Salt air hasn't done it any harm. Battery does the round trip easily.

Out of the box, unfolded, charge it overnight, off you go. Instructions made sense. Pleasant surprise.

We do the garden centre every Saturday morning. The seat means I can stop for a sit any time. Game changer.

Heavier than the cheap ones in Argos but you can feel why. Doesn't wobble when you lean on it. Worth the difference.

He read all the reviews and picked the Roller. He was right. I should listen to him more often.

Used to plan my walks bench to bench. Now I just take my seat with me. Genuinely liberating.

Three miles a day with the assist on the gentle setting. Never been fitter at 79.

Caught in proper Mackem rain and the brakes still bite well. Slight rattle in the basket frame but I shoved a bit of foam in - sorted.

On the level paths around Bowness it's perfect. Hills with the assist on are completely manageable. Pleasantly surprised.

Folded it lifts onto a SWR carriage with one hand on the rail. Independence restored.

Came out of hospital terrified to walk. The OT recommended a rollator, I went one better and got this. Back on my feet within a fortnight.

We can do a proper morning out now. Coffee, library, butcher's. Wife says it's like getting a bit of our old life back.

Cumbrian pavements are not the best. The bigger front wheels make a real difference compared to my old frame.

Walking to the local is a quarter mile each way. With the assist on I do it twice a week again. Landlord was pleased to see me.

Doesn't look like medical equipment. Anthracite finish, clean lines. I'm vain enough that this matters.

Pottering about, charging Sunday night, never run out yet. Battery indicator is honest, not optimistic.

She said the Eezychair Roller was the best built rollator she'd seen for under a grand. Took her advice and she was right.

Padded seat is more comfortable than I expected. Could perhaps be a touch wider for a larger frame but I'm being picky.

Did Birmingham's German Market without giving up halfway. First year in five I've made it round.

Bit of arthritis in the left hand so single-handed operation matters. The fold mechanism is properly thought through.

Springer spaniel, two miles a day. Roller and lead in the other hand, no problem. He's a happier dog for it.

Compared three competitors. The Eezychair was the only one that didn't feel like it would fold up under me.

Cheltenham's pavements suit it perfectly. Daily walk to the pump room, sit and rest, walk back. Civilised again.

Winter mornings are dark - I've stuck a clip-on light to the basket. Otherwise no complaints.

Did the full pier on opening weekend. Boards were no problem for the wheels. Couldn't have done it last year.

Tucks neatly under the seat. No more remembering to bring a separate carry case.

Got it just before Christmas. By new year I'd been further on foot than the whole of last year. Sounds dramatic but it's true.

Whitby's cobbles are notorious. The Roller takes them in its stride. Did the abbey approach last week.

From the West Shore to the pier and back. Two and a bit miles. The assist on the low setting is just enough push.

Gravel paths, no problem. Could do with slightly chunkier handgrips for an arthritic grip but I'll add some bar tape.

Three loops of the gardens most afternoons. Seat means I rest when I want, not when I have to.

Had a budget rollator that wobbled. The Eezychair feels half the age of the old one despite being newer. Lesson learned.

Wednesday market is back in the diary. The basket fits a chicken and a loaf nicely.

A wheel arrived loose. One call, replacement part in 48 hours, video of how to fit it. Faultless after-sales.

Wiltshire lanes are mostly fine. The slightly knobbly tyres deal with the loose chippings well.

You barely hear it. Goes well at the library where the slightest squeak gets you a glare.

Took a couple of outings to get used to the assist sensitivity. Once dialled in, it's perfect.

I'd slowed her down for years. Now I keep pace easily. Married 51 years and properly walking out together for the first time in a decade.
