Looks lovely unfortunately most of us will never be able to afford one, we shouldn’t have to pay so much to be able to live

I know I really want one but they are ridiculously priced 😢

I just used my rollator for the first time in public a few days ago! At first I was like “I don’t need it right now so it’s good I’m getting used to it!” Then a few blocks later let’s just say I was so thankful for it! I had to sit down 4 times and break. I’m so thankful to have it finally because it felt so nice to be able to go on a walk again!!

Can I just say, I felt compelled to leave a comment. I hope it makes sense because I have brain fog and writing is hard. I have had M.E for 4 years now and your channel has been such a godsend. I've been really down in the dumps- no friends, no supportive family members and am going through a bit of a grieving phase you could say. Your bright and cheery attitude really picks me up and helps get me out of a dark place. You've said you struggle to stay positive too, I know what that's like. I admire your proactiveness and how you have such great ideas for making a difficult situation that much less difficult. Brain fog, overwhelm, sensory overload and digestive issues make it almost impossible for me to do anything apart from sew beads onto dolls clothes- a vestige of the artistic passion I used to have, makes me feel like I can do SOMETHING and not go mad from boredom. I try to be thankful every time I wake up and am able to put my feet on the floor and get out of bed, because I know that is luxury compared to what others have to deal with. You refuse to let this illness defeat you and for that you need to be commended. You are so brave, I don't think anyone tells us that nearly enough. To be ill at 23 is such a tragedy. I don't think I'd have coped as well as you have. I'm 38 now and I wasn't ready for this ❤

An honest and heartfelt comment. I also have mobility issues so I am also house bound for the most part now but I'm thankful that I was able bodied enough to look after my Mother till she passed away 6yrs ago. My darling Mother was my best friend. She was the last of my immediate family, Lost my brother, then my wonderful Dad, and then Mum. Grief is a terrible thing to go through when you're alone. I understand and I will remember your comment and I will think of you. Stay strong. 😘

Know that there is a caring supportive community online. I don’t have any friends either, and hardly leave my house. We are all in this together no matter what level of severity or illness.❤ You are doing amazing, I know that getting out of bed each day even though it’s a blessing can be a big step mentally and physically, it can be hard to want to keep going and trying.Stay strong, you aren’t alone in your symptoms,illness, and mental darkness.❤

@@ruby3200 Thank you ❤️

Please put the brake's on when sat in it as a rollator. Then when u get up its more stable (not going to move) when u push to get up and it could move under you and you end up falling over. It is very cool to see something multiple functional and in a nice colour.

I’m glad companies are working on multifunctional aids that also look ‘good’. I personally am out on the look for things that will make shopping less of a hell. I can’t carry anything heavier than 5kg’s. Going to the supermarket is often the only social interaction I have, so I’ll go every day when I can. I bought a dog buggy (don’t have a dog! But the carrier bag for my cats fits into it) to help me push the groceries. The grandma trolley thing is still too heavy for me so pushing makes more sense.

I just recently purchased the Rollz motion in white last month. Definitely more than I wanted to spend, but so far I absolutely LOVE mine. I agree with everything you mentioned in your review. What I love about this is it is lifetime warranty on the frame itself and if other parts go out, they can be ordered and replaced versus purchasing a whole new device. Love all the attachment options too. Definitely pricy but for me personally so far it has been worth it.

I'm loving the pink - it definitely suits you!

I'm about to get the electric rollz so I'm hoping that will me good for me bc I agree with your points

It's really good with the additional attachments that put the wheelchair attachment higher up, out of the way of your shins.

Absolutely the aid I want! But yes the price is sooooo high!

Looks lovely but sadly at almost £800 it’s definitely too expensive 😢 xxx

$1,600 in the USA.

It's cute. I got one of these, but they hurt my shoulders if I walked more than a few mins. So my physio suggested crutches x

This aid really suits your look. That pink!! Can’t wait to see it in a vlog. 💜💜

this looks like a really nice product for someone who needs both a rollator and wheelchair the only problem i see is that to use it as a wheelchair you have to have someone with you which takes away from kinda the whole point of these types of products independence if you are only using it as a rollator you can be independent but if you need the wheelchair you have to have someone to push you

Just discovered your channel, and I'm so glad I did! As a young person with ME/CFS I've always been self conscious about using my mobility aids (refused to use any for years!) But seeing you talk so openly and comfortably about using different aids makes me feel much braver about doing it myself. I love the way that your aids also match your personal style- this is something I am just starting to do, I think in makes a big difference to confidence!

This is gorgeous. Lovely to see a rollator that’s so modern 😍 great addition

I just received a regular rollator in purple. I purchased it from amazon. It was easy to assemble but like the woman in this video I had to keep stopping to take breaks in between putting it together, being that little exertion tires me out easily. But I got it done, but maybe in the future, I would want this type of rollator that transforms into a wheelchair too.

I love this multi function rollator.. there are many people that can benefit from using this but, it’s all about the pricing.

I understand wanting to have a colour other than black for a walking aid. My wheelchair is pink, it doesn’t look so medical as you said. Have had M.E over 30 years, I enjoy watching your videos. 😊

Hi - love the color :) Dont put the 'bag' in front of your legs!! You can have it on the other side of the seat, but higher. You just ned two small plastic parts and hook the 'bag' on to it. You need to walk as freely as possible, and you cant do that with the 'bag' in the way. If you want to turn it to a wheelchair, you simply move the 'bag' back again 🎉😊 You'll find videos of it here on KZread! Good luck ❤ I love my Rollz ❤ I have an ice blue. When I first tried it with the 'bag' right in front of my legs, I was really disappointed, as I couldn't walk properly... Try to move it - - It makes a huge difference🎉

Just ordered one

lush!

It’s gorgeous and I absolutely LOVE the colour, but £900??! That’s scandalous! I recently bought a similar one that also converts into a transit wheelchair and it was £200! Mine also includes a nice big bag that hangs in front of you when walking in rollator mode. I’m like you in the way I use it. (Idk what condition you have but I’ve rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia so I get tired very quickly. I like to be as independent as possible so I’ll use it as a walking aid & when I’m exhausted one of my kids will push me in wheelchair mode for a few minutes). I really *really* have a problem with companies who take the absolute pi$$ with their pricing for mobility products. I fully appreciate that they have to make a decent profit but dear me, I can’t get my head around £800 for something so similar to mine that was £200. Great review though love, with it being pink it’s something I’d usually snap up immediately as pink is my favourite colour but, at that price?!? There’s no way I’d pay that much for something so basic even if I had the money spare. My electric scooter was only £100 more!

I loooove 😍 to see you in pumps and higheels with mobility aids, even it's not my personal style (walking and rolling 🤣). This needs more representation!!!

in rollator mode w the attachment it kinda looks like a fancy pram like u have a really tiny baby or a dog in there i think its v cool

i *need* to know where you got that sheep cardigan, it's absolutely adorable!! 💕🐑

This is definitely the rollator I’m wanting, it’s just so expensive!

i think rollz is extremely overrated especially considering the price. i am horrified to hear of people putting all their life savings into one. even without the wheelchair package it is very very heavy to use as a rollator, it is 11.6kg which is insane when you can get a £100 8kg rollator. weight matters a lot here, it is exhausting to have just that bit of extra weight and difficulty maneuvering. the wheelchair package adds 3.4kg and much worse is theres no good place to put it. youre either walking into it constantly or its blocking the seat. i actually think it simply does not work as a rollator at all when the wheelchair package is attached, which completely defeats the purpose please guys you can buy a rollator and a transit wheelchair and have £600 left over now I have the aidapt duo deluxe rollator, the cheapest place to get it is £130 from relimobility. it has a much worse wheelchair mode than rollz, only really works indoors, but 30000% better as a rollator

i understand aesthetics being important but it really is not £900 important. rollz really goes out of their way to market to young chronically ill folks thats why they sent you one for free

ANOTHER thing yes it is just a few cm wider than normal in the back wheels, which is a pain

i am commenting as i watch more, i think people who have never used a normal £100 rollator should not be allowed to do rollator reviews, no offense

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The 2 in 1 feature is amazing but given the price and other flaws, I imagine it would only be worth it if you were wealthy and could buy other mobility aids. None of your average disabled people could afford this. I have negative feelings towards this company in general because they're specifically targeting young people in a vulnerable, uncomfortable position in their advertising. This wouldn't be a problem if their products were actually accessible to young disabled people, but instead they're preying on our insecurities with having to use mobility aids by painting their products a pretty color and driving up the price tag into outer space. Some of their ads that focus around the idea of freedom and independence just make me roll my eyes. You can find a rollator or hospital wheelchair for a tenth of the price in thrift stores, medical supply stores, online, etc or the less expensive 2 in 1 models you talk about that would also give you that freedom. And you can make those types of mobility aids pink too if you have some spray paint. If I ever see someone using a rollz I'm probably going to assume they're rich or an influencer. I appreciate Elinor's review but I wonder how different her opinion would be if she had used a standard rollator first.

I want a rollz rollator so bad but the hefty price tag is a bit of an issue. 🥲
