Invacare Banjo Rollator Silver

I'm so pleased with this purchase. Ordered Friday night it arrived Monday morning. It's such great build quality, very sturdy, the monochrome colours look smart & for the price it's a steal! I'd recommend that you have someone to help remove it from the box & assemble it. The unit comes folded inside a big plastic bag that serves also as a lining to the box. The handlebars are seperate, nestled in above the folded unit and need to be fitted with the locking nuts by someone with strong & dexterous enough hands. The GB English instructions are from pg 21 of one of the three booklets enclosed. The basket is easy to fit, I've left the white polystyrene blocks on the crossbar, as it seems they serve as a good cushion between the back of the basket & the crossbar. There's a handy shelf underneath the basket, a clear plastic tray's included it has pegs on the bottom that slot into small holes on the seat for use when indoors. If it's important to you being able to use the seat itself, especially outdoors for regular stops, be aware the width between the locking nuts housings is just under 16"/ 40cm. It's not unbearably snug for a short rest if you're a size 18/20. A final note, if you don't know exactly what you're doing when it comes to adjusting brakes, get someone who does know how to do it for you. Your local mobility store may offer a visiting service to do minor adjustments to equipment, make sure you're clear about any charges. If you have help to take it there yourself, all the better. Obviously I say this from a safety perspective. If the brakes aren't exactly as you need them to be, to say the least it'd be foolish to use it! All in all: a great bit of kit for under £40, it's a win/win!

Bit tricky to set up however good product when assembled

Nice to use, very sturdy , and room for my little dog in the basket LOL... Looks good...very important for me as I am only 48😔 And need it for support when not in wheelchair ... All in all great walker, and people think I paid a fortune for it!!!Only little grip I have is the brakes are not to hot, but they may improve when they have bedded in:0)P.SIt’s been 2 years, my health has failed more, to the point I’m now needing a wheelchair to get around upstairs… however my walkers (I bought one for up and one for down) they are still like new, my partner tweaked the breaks a bit and they were golden from then on in. Trust me when I say the seat is so comfortable I sit on it to clean, and wash and do the housework well the bits I can reach, I just send the kittens round back of sofa to get the dust bunnies 🐰 LOL really happy I bought these, my cat has scratched one of the seats but I just made a little cover for it… I have put these walkers through rigorous testing the last few years and I could sell on as new! I’m not a small lady at 21st and this walker makes me feel like a normal person, you don’t bulge out anywhere, the seat with is my than adequate, well padded, I’m normally fighting the cat or anyone else that perches on it lol

very sturdy trolley and good for shopping and walking good value for price. only downfall for me is its heavy. also i would like to thank the person who wrote the reviews about how to get up curbs and high steps very good tip i wouldn't have known that i was finding it to hard and strained my back trying Thankyou Ann

It was well made, but had to send back because the brake was broken.

Just got this Banjo Rollator today and I'm so impressed. It was relatively easy to put together and it already helped me in two situations I normally struggle. Today I had to wait in a long line, and so with the Banjo I was able to take the strain of standing off my hip entirely and easily move forward in the line sitting on the chair. Second, I am often limited in what I can buy when I shop because I can't carry very much from my car up a hill to the house. Banjo held three big shopping bags easily. One in the basket, one looped over a handle, and a laundry basket filled with another bag on the seat. I'm also able to walk with it resting my forearms on the handles when I'm tired, and it feels stable and solid. The wheels are large and made of rubber, so you get a smooth solid feeling as you walk with it. Finally, the price was wonderful for a unit of this quality. Thanks to Invacare for offering this at such a reasonable price, to those of us struggling a bit to get around and who don't have funds for an expensive one. You earned your angel wings today!

The Invacare Banjo bought in December 2019. It is now July 2024, has been in constant daily use. The drawbacks are the tray is very unstable due to poor design. It tips off easily. The solid wheel tyres have started to split. I am unable to walk without a dependable walking aid which can also carry things around the house. I have used collators for 17 years and never worn out the wheels, indoors or outdoors. This is the second Invacare where the solid tyres have split.

We bought this for my 86 year old dad who was getting unsteady on his feet.After falling a couple of times he had lost his confidence and seldom wanted to go out.10 minutes after trying out this mobility frame rollator and getting used to it he had his coat onand headed for the shops.This is a sturdy ,well built and well designed product.It is very maneuverable within the home and easily passes through door frames.The tray attachment is a real boon in getting his meal or cuppa from the kitchen to his dining tablewithout spillage.Another plus is if he's out walking and he gets tired he can lock the brakes and have a seat.He weighs 14st and it supports his weight without any problem.The walker folds easily for storage and is lightweight,portable and fit for purpose with spades on.I would have no hesitation in recommending this product.
