In my opinion, the 10208PS Go-Lite Rollator offers the best bang for the buck. It is not the cheapest rollator, but at our current sale price of $99 with free shipping, I feel it is worth the extra investment. Let me tell you why.

The Go-Lite is a standard four wheel rollator with 6" wheels and a padded seat. Padded seats tend to be more popular with most of our customers due to the extra comfort they provide. 6" casters are considered the de-facto standard for rollators (though there are models with 8" which excel on rougher terrain).

I really like the under seat pouch. Not only does it look better than a basket, it also does not need to be removed when folding the rollator. This can prove to be a huge advantage for the active user. In my previous article I mentioned front mounted baskets which also get around this problem. But I prefer this arrangement.

The build quality of the Go-Lite is superior to the slightly less expensive R6 from Drive. According to Drive Medical, both are good walkers - "It's like the difference between a Cadillac and a Chevy." A customer also pointed out that the Go-Lite has a larger seat than the R6, making it more comfortable.

Last but certainly not least, the Go-Lite lives up to its name, weighing a mere 12 pounds. That is as light as we have for standard rollators. In contrast, the Invacare 65650 weight 19 lbs, which is quite a difference. (It is also a pound lighter than the 13 pound R6).

The R6 is still a great rollator, and currently a best seller. But I strongly recommend considering upgrading to the Go-Lite.
