AmazonBasics High Density Round Roller 36 inches Reviews Summary

Material and Quality

Pros:

• "The high-density polypropylene it is made from guarantees it will hold up under pressure and keep its shape for future uses."
• "The quality of the product is great and one would never even know it is Amazon brand unless you search for this."
• "Our XC & TF team have used these rollers for years now and they have survived many collegiate athletes and the mishaps along the way."
• "It's built to withstand the test of time, providing consistent performance workout after workout."
• "Despite being put through its paces, the roller's high-density foam maintains its shape and firmness remarkably well."
• "The foam has retained its firmness, providing consistent support during my rolling sessions."
• "Very well built, that is, not flimsy and keeps its shape."

Cons:

• "I've seen these start to crumble and leave pieces of foam places if they aren't taken care of."
• "The item was poorly made, unevenly stuck together and the material is extremely cheap."
• "Foam roller quality was not what as expected. Cylindrical surface of roller had several permanent indentations either due to manufacturing process or shipping and handling issue."
• "Have one other Amazon basic solid black roller that is good, but this one lasted only months before leaving beads all over the floor and busted."
• "The parting lines in tool that made the part are worn out so it leaves flash on the part."
• "Over time a little bit of styrofoam falls out but it is more cosmetic issue then functionality."
• "I didn’t enjoy how it crumbles apart."

Size and Portability

Pros:

• "I love how light weight this is."
• "The foam roller is also lightweight and easy to transport."
• "It easily fits in any suitcase and provides me with a roller when I am doing some extended travelling."
• "This little roller is perfect for travelling."
• "Its light weight and sleek design make it easy to carry around."
• "The compact size makes it much easier than having to tuck away a full sized one."
• "Liked this mid size rather than the extra long. Just enough length for what I need and easier size for traveling too."

Cons:

• "Too big for easy packing to travel, unless you've got lots of suitcase room."
• "It's not one I would use to travel with, since the size is large."
• "Not sure how well it will travel, although it's light weight its rather bulky and wont fit in my check-in very well."
• "Would not recommend for travel due to its large size."
• "It's way too big. The diameter is huge."
• "I expected a full size roller and as you can see, it is half the size of a regular roller but you pay the full price."
• "Bigger size makes it less compactable but still fits fine in my trunk."

Effectiveness and Comfort

• "This thing really got some bad knots out of my back."
• "It helps with muscle spasms and pain so much more efficiently then routine stretching."
• "Rolling this under my lower back while laying on the floor helped immensely. Seriously did the trick!"

Cons:

• "Painfully digs into legs while doing simple exercises, haven't experienced this with other foam rollers."
• "This product was so slippery that it was really difficult to use at home."
• "I am returning this product. it wouldn't stay put underneath my body because it was so slippery so it was basically useless."
• "The exercises I bought this to do hurt too much to do on this roller."
• "It can feel painful or a little uncomfortable while using it, but it is worth it!!!"
• "It’s much firmer than a pillow."
• "This thing is as hard as a brick and there was no way either of could use it or make it even roll!"
