Is the UPWalker Walking Aid Right for Me?
There are a few important considerations that may influence the decision about the suitability of the UPWalker for a user.
- The UPWalker is larger and heavier than traditional rollators and may not be suitable for smaller, frail elderly users or others lacking the strength to maneuver a larger mobility device.
- It is not designed for narrow or limited spaces. If your home has doors or walkways that are too narrow, it may be difficult to maneuver the UPWalker – CONS
- If you are not of reasonable health, have ataxia and/or some other mobility issues, you may not be able to handle the agility of the UPWalker.
- If you have to rely on your current walker for support to stand, you may find it difficult to control the UPWalker.
- If your Height and Weight combination are NOT listed in the manufacturers Sizing Chart, the UPWalker will not be right for you.
- Compared to other walkers and rollators, it is easy to see that the UPWalker is a bit pricey. However the price reflects the fact that it is a truly revolutionary mobility product designed and produced to be durable with quality workmanship and comfort and safety benefits not found in other walkers.

Hi Ceci, Thank you for your very detailed review!
I have never heard before about the UP-Walker. The benefits regarding these walkers sound fantastic; mainly, they are designed for so many diseases, supporting to prevent more painful symptoms from developing. Older people will feel secure and comfortable using the Up-walker, for sure. The lifelong warranty of the frame is also a good sign that the company trusts its products which makes it even more quality.
As a nurse, I can see that the walkers have improved within the last decades. They used to be very heavy and couldn’t adapt to the length of the people. Nowadays, because of the element aluminum, they are produced in such a light version, these walkers are easily be put into a car and taken with us. I love the handles, so the elderly using the UP-Walker are not suffering from wrist pain, especially they do not have the strength anymore.
I will certainly recommend the walker to them as most clients are vulnerable older or chronically ill younger adults. 🙂
Hi Sylvia,
Yes the UP-Walker has been a game changer for many seniors and the elderly and provides and even more enhanced quality of life. Although it is more pricey than regular rollators or walkers, it is worth every extra penny because of the addes comfort features.
Thanks for the offer to recommend. I have seen it in action (dad of a colleague) and it really helps.

Hi Ceci. Reading this review makes me sad because it means whoever needs it, is not in good health. But at least this product can make people’s lives much better. I like that this walker takes into account that people fall while using walkers. So they’ve added a protective feature. It’ll definitely provide an enhanced quality of life for many disabled people. That the company has a lifelong warranty shows me that they 100% trust the quality of their product. Great review.
Hello Shalisha,
The UpWalker is a quality product to improve the quality of life not only for the disabled but also the elderly and some patients recuperating from surgery.The company is certainly proud of its workmanship which is why they have a lifelong warranty.
