Looking to buy a rollator walker in Switzerland? At saneq, you can choose from drive and DIETZ models for getting around at home, shopping and spending time outdoors. Start with where you will use your rollator, then compare handle adjustment, weight, wheels and price. The guidance below helps you narrow down the options before placing your order online for delivery within Switzerland.
Choose a rollator for the way you use it
Standard rollators for everyday use
A standard model offers practical features for everyday trips at an accessible price. The drive Standard Rollator Cristallo comes with a seat, basket, tray and walking stick holder. Check its weight carefully if you will need to lift it often.
Lightweight rollators for taking with you
For frequent car journeys, consider total weight and ease of folding. Options include the drive Gigo 2G, DIETZ TAiMA M, TAiMA M-GT and the more compact TAiMA S-GT. The drive Nitro and Nitro SL are also options for indoor and outdoor use. Always check the dimensions of your chosen version.
Outdoor rollators for uneven paths
The DIETZ TAiMA XC is designed for outdoor use, including gravel and uneven paths. It is offered with pneumatic or Soft-PU tyres. Pneumatic tyres can cushion bumps but need pressure checks. Soft-PU tyres do not require inflation.
Indoor rollators for the home
Manoeuvrability and a useful carrying surface matter in smaller rooms. The drive Roomba is designed for indoor use and has a tray and continuous brake bar. Its overall width is 57 cm. Measure doorways and turning space before deciding whether it fits.
Carbon rollators for frequent lifting
A carbon frame can reduce the weight you need to lift. The drive AeroWalk Carbon weighs 5.1 kg complete with accessories, compared with 6.3 kg for the drive Nitro SL, also complete. Consider who will lift it and how often when weighing up the extra cost.
Rollators with forearm supports
The drive Cristallo² with forearm supports provides padded supports for resting the forearms. This design addresses particular support needs. Have a qualified professional assess whether it suits you and help with the position and height of the supports.
Three-wheel rollators and tri walkers
The drive Tri Walker is a manoeuvrable three-wheel model without a seat. It may suit short trips and confined spaces. If you need to sit down during outings, focus your search on a rollator with a suitable seat.
What to check before buying
- Height and handle adjustment: the adjustment range must suit you. Wrist height with your arms hanging loosely is a starting point. Holding the handles should leave your elbows slightly bent and your shoulders relaxed.
- Weight: compare figures on the same basis, such as the complete rollator with accessories. Lower weight helps with loading, but you also need to be able to operate the brakes and folding mechanism.
- Width: measure clear door openings, gaps between furniture and room to turn. Our guide to choosing a rollator for your home explains which measurements to take.
- Tyres: think about your usual surfaces and the maintenance involved. Read our article on rollators with pneumatic tyres to see when this type of tyre may suit your routes.
- Brakes and seating: controls must be within reach and manageable. On models with seats, check seat height and width. Apply the parking brakes as instructed before sitting down.
- Folded size and load limits: compare all folded dimensions with your car boot. Observe the maximum user weight and the separate carrying limits for the bag, basket or tray.
For help putting these requirements in order, see our guide to choosing a rollator.
How much does a rollator cost?
Our current range includes entry-level models under CHF 150. Many lightweight everyday rollators are in the region of CHF 200 to CHF 350. Specialist outdoor models and rollators with forearm supports are around CHF 400, while carbon models are around CHF 550. These are price bands for orientation; check the current price of your selected version on its product page.
Frame material, tyres and equipment all affect the price. Check whether a bag, basket, tray or backrest is included. Spending more makes sense when the extra features offer a practical benefit for your daily routine.
Health insurance, IV, AHV and supplementary benefits
Funding for a rollator in Switzerland depends on your individual circumstances. Check eligibility with your health insurer or the responsible office before buying. Swiss disability insurance (IV) assesses assistive devices case by case. Particular rules may apply to people receiving an AHV old-age pension or supplementary benefits (EL). Ask which documents are needed and whether prior approval is required. A medical prescription alone does not guarantee that the cost will be covered. Our guide How much does a rollator cost and who pays for it? explains the details.
