NOVA Vibe 6 Rollator Walker, Purple

Just had my new Nova Vibe 6, in purple, delivered yesterday. Looks like I lucked out on timing, because the price has gone up another $82 (plus the added sales tax) in just the few days since I ordered.COLORBe aware that the photos show a much lighter (and to me, prettier) shade of purple than it actually is. I was disappointed to find it's actually a deep royal purple. A perfectly fine, if boring, color that just doesn't spark joy in me. So DO take that into account if you're picky, or were hoping for a more "feminine" shade - as silly and arbitrary as it may be to assign genders to colors in the first place. The purple also doesn't seem to have any TRULY well-color-coordinated accessory options, which is massively disappointing. Now I'm kind of wishing I got the blue.DOCUMENTATION/ASSEMBLYUnlike at least one negative comment, my rollator DID come with both a manual AND a brochure, in addition to a product warranty hang tag. I easily assembled my Vibe 6 without looking at any of it, however. Assembly simply (depending upon physical constraints, of course) involves installing the handles and backrest, and took maybe 15 minutes, despite "help" from my cat. The backrest was a little frustrating for me due to a plethora of problems with my motor skills and hand/arm strength, but even then, it just added a minute or two to the installation. DO pay attention to the alignment of the brake cables when installing the handles, to make sure they aren't twisted around the rollator!SIZEI WILL caution that while the maximum weight load is 300 lbs, your body measurements may come into play before the weight limit does. If you're "hippy" at all, check the product dimensions! I'm more than 120 lbs under the maximum weight capacity, I wear a women's size 14, and my hips brush the inner edges of the hand rests when I sit.In all, I think this rollator will suit me nicely, finally giving me the courage to go for walks without the very real risk of being stranded, and in physical agony, without a place to sit. I cannot WAIT to personalize it with accessories, albeit I would prefer fun colors AND color coordination; it's looking like I'm in for a challenge in that regard.

I purchased the NOVA Vibe 6 Rolling Walker for my mother who has chronic back problems due to years of scoliosis surgeries and disk repairs and replacements. She weighs about 160lbs and cannot stand upright on her own. Initially I purchased the walker because I felt that it would help her getting from one place in the house to the other like from her chair to the bathroom. But surprisingly we have discovered that it actually helps her get out of her recliner, much easier. Even though it doesn't look like it would be stable enough for someone to use to pull themselves up with , it really has been. The only flaw I notice and I'm not even sure I would call it a flaw, is that there is no way to "LOCK" the rolling walker without both hands being on the hand grips and compressing the brake levers. However this has not been an issue for my mother, it's just something I would feel better about if I could lock it for her before she tries to use it to get out of her chair. The color she chose was purple and the image is true to color and very vibrant. She has gotten several compliments at her doctors appointments on the color. The Nova Rolling Walker is also super easy to fold up for traveling purposes, and the bench seat lifts up for her to put her purse into so she doesn't have to carry anything at all. I also found several attachments you can get for this walker including a variety of fabric covers for the roll bar and seat. I would recommend this to everyone who has the need for a rolling walker. I will note that if you are big hipped like myself, you may require a larger rolling walker as it may be a little snug in the hip area when you sit down.

Great “helper” when my pain flare hit my back and Rt leg with a vengeance. My kitty thought it was for her and climbed aboard every time I took it for my daily walks through the house. Before I had this helper, it felt like I was heading on the hardest journey from point a to b. I knew I needed to keep moving. So three to 4 times a day me and kitty took our house walks. She supervised. My husband cracked up when she started standing next to it, then on it mowing for me to get with it! I also used it to start some slow isolated exercises on different kinds to start healing and strengthening. Was amazed at the price and how well made the product is. My husband the engineer was as well. Only thing is would be for them to put a latch to hold it in place after it’s folded. Folding up is easy, keeping that way is fumbly, so we just use a small bingo cord. I also bought a drink holder. The seat is also sturdy. I use I this in the kitchen, when standing gets to much. Took the back rest off and I can sit to do some things and push myself around easily. When I’ve rested I can get up do other other things. It’s there now when I need it. Meds, injection and time helped. But I’m afraid I’m heading down that road again. Have my trusty purple steed to help me through now!
