What stands out

●
15.75 lbs.
It is the lightest frame in Nova's Star range, and it runs one to two pounds under the 8" wheel Star frames. That is the weight you lift into a car, rather than the weight you push.
●
Four seat heights on push buttons
The seat adjusts to 18.5", 19.5", 20.5" or 21.5" without tools. The Star 8, the Star Heavy Duty and the Star WB each offer three.
●
Extra-wide padded backrest
The backrest is wider and more padded than the one on the standard Star, which is what you lean into while you rest on the seat.
●
Locking hand brakes
The levers slow the walker as you squeeze them. Push down to park it before you sit and lift to release. Nova covers the brake parts for five years.
●
Padded seat with a pouch underneath
The seat is padded and wipe-clean, and the pouch under it holds personal items out of sight while you walk.
●
Built-in foot pedals
Pedals on the rear legs let you tip the front wheels over a threshold or a curb lip rather than lifting the frame.
The Hieline Take

Weight is the specification people underrate on a rolling walker, because they judge the walker by how it pushes rather than by how it lifts. Pushing is easy on any of these frames. Lifting a folded walker over the lip of a car trunk, one-handed, while holding the door, is where two pounds decides whether the walker gets used. At 15.75 lbs. this is the lightest thing Nova build in the Star range, and it still carries the extra-wide backrest and gets a fourth seat height that the 8" frames do not have. What you give up is wheel size. Six-inch wheels are noticeably less happy on gravel and on the lip where a driveway meets a pavement, so if your daily route includes either of those, spend the extra on the Star WB and take the weight.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want the lightest Star frame to lift in and out of a car
  • walk mostly indoors or on smooth ground, where 6" wheels are enough
  • want four seat heights rather than three
  • rest on the seat often and want a backrest wide enough to lean into
  • are between 5'1" and 6'2"

Look elsewhere if you

  • are regularly on gravel, grass or broken pavement, where 8" wheels roll better
  • weigh more than 300 lbs.
  • need a walker you lift rather than roll, which is a folding walker
  • need a three-wheel frame for tight indoor turns
