About UpWalker

As per the infomercial, UpWalker claims to be a smart walker that addresses the deficiencies of conventional walkers. Its secure design alleges to remove hunch by keeping the users in an upright position to provide better posture. The large 8-inch rubber wheels of UpWalker emphasize to run on multiple terrains, bumps, and uneven surfaces smoothly. It also asserts to have adjustable armrests, ergonomic handles, and lightweight frame that can be easily maneuvered.

UpWalker CLAIMS

Better control – The smart walker, UpWalker, proclaims that its aesthetic design provides better mobility since it offers the users full freedom, better posture, and less pain while walking. More will be revealed once users review it. Its foldable frame proclaims to be strong and sturdy to support individuals of up to 300 pounds weight. It states to have lockable brakes on the handle and adjustable padded armrests to offer total control to the users. Such farfetched claims by the walker will be verified once users review it.

Comfortable seating – Another benefit that UpWalker convinces to have is a fabric seat with backrest support that helps in sitting or walking. The sit-to-stand handles allegedly help in a smooth transition between sitting and walking. Send us your reviews if you found this walker to be helpful.

UpWalker Review

A UpWalker review by Stuart Tate reveals that the rollator has a good design and is made using the high-quality material. His issue lies with its adjustability where the seat doesn’t fit into a comfortable height with the handles while sitting.

Lee Kim’s UpWalker review states that the walker is better for people who are generally all hunched over. Even though she has the seat adjusted well, it is slightly high to set her feet flat on the ground while sitting. Further, in her review, she writes that the handles are to be adjusted all the way up in this position. So basically she uses UpWalker with a seat little too high and the handles a little too low.

A frustrated user Carlton Chavez complains in his UpWalker review that its cheaply-built frame is pretty heavy and is highly unstable when it is adjusted to the highest height.

One other similar issue surfaces in Sonia Walter’s UpWalker review. She also found it to be heavy, hard, and awkward to move around and to fold. She says that it might require the help of a companion to fold it, open it, and stow it in a car.

Patrick Greene, a customer who tried UpWalker, discloses that the quality of the Rollator isn’t as good as promised. Even with delicate use, there were bits and parts that start to break off. In his review, he says that the brakes on one side of UpWalker didn’t adjust well and the welding on the frame that stabilizes it also came apart making it unsafe for use.

According to Angie Hoffman’s review of UpWalker, it is pretty heavy and can be difficult to unfold. The other problem she mentions is that user needs to push it down very hard to move around swiftly.
