Like Virginiamom below, I also thought I could use this as my only stroller after the snap-n-go. I have had a few friends who have managed this, but I found it to be a little bulky for mall shopping... but not so much that I wouldn't take it shopping. The basket is a decent size. We got a great deal at REI on a 2006 model, I believe we paid around $260. We also got the parent console and the infant seat attachment.
My husband and I are both nearly 6 feet, and it is comfortable enough to push. My husband wishes the handlebar was about 2" higher for jogging, but it doesn't bother me. He usually runs to the side and pushes it with one hand. The steering is great. I almost always leave the front wheel in the swivel position.
I am in a Stroller Strides class with 20 other moms and my stroller wins hands-down. Between myself and the instructor, who also has a Revolution, 3 other moms have traded in their joggers and bought a Revolution!
I took my everyday stroller on a long neighborhood walk today and realized why I love my BOB so much. Much easier to push and maneuver on a walk.
Baby has never complained and seems quite comfortable.
I would rate the Bob Revolution an 11 out of 10 if I could.

Price Paid: $359.00 at REII purchased this stroller after having some bad luck with quality issues on the Instep & Schwinn Safari.I was looking for a stroller to meet the following needs:
Daily walks & light jogs in the neighborhood.
Zoo trips.
Other "outdoor" trips.
My son who rides in this stroller is 16mos old & about 25 lbs.I am SO happy with this stroller purchase..it totally fits my needs!The canopy is the best I've seen, almost completely blocks the sun unless we happen to be walking right towards it...then my little guy might get a little shining on his feet or lower legs.The seat is is wide & the seat back is quite tall (21" which is higher than most I looked at)There is a 5-pt harness system with an extra sternum strap for safety that I really like. Also, there are shoulder pads on the harness.The childs seat has 2 mesh "cup-holders" on each side for sippys, snacks, or toys.The seat only partially reclines, it does not go flat. This is not an issue for me since my child never sleeps in his stroller & likes to sit up. But, you couldn't use this stroller for a newborn unless you purchased the optional carseat adapter (I think they are around $40)On the back of the seat is a large mesh pocket. There is also a decent sized (not huge) basket underneath. I purchased the BOB console to attach to the handlebar ($20) which offers two cupholders & a small zippered compartment that I use for my cell phone & keys.The handlebar is the perfect height for me (I am 5'5"), but my 6'1" husband finds it to be a tad low. He doesn't have to hunch over to push it, I think he just prefers it a bit higher. I believe that the height is 41".The tires have a"rugged" look to them & look as though they last a long time! Pushing the stroller is a dream. It glides over bumpy sidewalks, grass, & gravel with ease. My son used to spend the majority of our walk crying / fussing. SInce we got the BOB, he seems to be much happier & the fussing has been kept to a minimum  I love the swivel wheel fuction. The majority of the time I am using this stroller in swivel mode. I have switched it over to fixed wheel a few times to jog. I must admit that I do find the stroller a bit heavy & awkward to turn when the front wheel is fixed. I am not sure how this compares with other models because this is the first stroller I have actually gone jogging with for more than a block  When I am out walking or jogging with this stroller I don't fear that it's going to fall apart. It feels rock solid & built to last.
I look forward to using it everyday.
When I initially started my AT stroller shopping, this stroller was not even an option for me because I was trying to keep the cost under $200.
After having bad luck with my previous purchase, I decided to splurge & give this a shot.
I am SO happy that I did!
If this stroller offers the features you need...go for it. You'll love it!

Pros:
huge canopy, bigger tires, hammock like seat, easy to push
Cons:
recline feature, not adjustable handlebar, no lock fold

I thought I don't jog why do I need a jogger? Well, I think they should call them walkers because they make it so much easier.
I live in a hilly area and was hating walking because my light combi was hard to push and I kicked the wheels(I'm 5'9"). My sister got a e3 and it was easy to push, but to expensive. I decided on the BOB because it has bigger tires(easier to push), huge canopy(a must in CA), easy fold, the seat cradles my baby and this is the only stroller she will nap in.
I have taken it on a gravel road and dirt road and it is awesome. I never fix the front wheel as I am not a jogger.
Recline is not a big deal because of the hammock like seat, I think this is cozy. I would love the handle bar to be adjustable for everyone pushing, but for me and my husband it is fine. It folds easy but no locking just like the rest, but it is usually just in the garage open.
I was between the baby jogger city single and this and the canopy was the deciding factor for us.
I would have given up walking if not for this stroller. Even though this is the heaviest stroller I own, it pushes like a dream.
Love the console sold seperately.$20I got a smoking deal on this stroller. REI was having a sale, but a local baby store matched it at $287Best money I ever spent for baby stuff.
By the way, I needed an umbrella stroller for travel and stuff and picked the volo because it sits like BOB.
