How it's Different from Competitors

Since it is much more stable, it gives the person using it much more confidence, and since it allows for correct posture, it is also more comfortable to use. Most walkers require to put your entire body weight upon your wrists, and this can cause a lot of pain and even damage to the wrists if the walker is used in the very long term.

Features
- Incorporates a Seat
There is a seat made of resilient fabric, that has a variable position, which allows you to either sit or else to walk for a considerable period of time with comfort and adequate support. The seat also has a backrest that allows you to sit comfortably.
- A Carry Bag
This mobility device actually has a carry bag attached to the frame, allowing you to keep your hands free while moving around. It massively increases both balance and safety and ensures that you don’t leave your belongings behind somewhere while you concentrate on the mechanics of moving around. There are different variations available on this carry bag, including a stylish luxury bag, and a large bag for shopping.
- Hardy Construction
The device is made of reinforced aluminum and is extremely durable. It also contains composites of polyurethane and plastics. A lot of the construction principles used here are drawn from the aircraft industry and from automobile manufacturing, which makes this device not only sturdy but extremely light in weight.
- Excellent Brakes
The wheels on this walker have an excellent set of breaks and conveniently located handles that are also designed to be ergonomic. Also, the breaks can be used to immobilize the walker if you want to sit down and rest for a while.
- Customizable
There are a lot of adjustments that you can make to various parts of the walker to truly customize the device to your unique body type. Everything from the height of the armrests, to pivoting grips for the hands can be customized. The length of each armrest can also be perfectly customized to perfectly suit your forearm length.
All these customizations have a locking feature so that you only have to go through the process of setting them once. After the device has been constructed, it stays that way and you don't have to adjust it every time you're going to use the walker.
Pros
- Enhanced Safety
The careful engineering put into this device ensures that it is very stable, thereby greatly limiting the chances of a fall. This stability will give you much more confidence as you move around while using this walker.
- Reduced Pain and Damage
Since your body weight is very evenly distributed when using this walker and doesn’t come down solely upon your wrists, there is less chance of damage to the wrists, and overall increased levels of comfort. Instead of pressure falling on the wrists, ergonomically designed armrests take the strain of holding up the body’s weight, which is also assisted by a specially designed seat that lets you walk upright easily. This has been found to be especially beneficial for people suffering from arthritis.
- Suited to Stroke Patients
People suffering from issues like stroke, in which the balance could be affected, tend to benefit considerably from using this walker. Since UpWalker is so sturdy and strong, it allows people who have balance issues to maintain their stability far more easily. If you have these issues, you’ll be well advised to take your therapist’s recommendation as to whether this walker could benefit you.
- Transportation is Easy
This walker is designed to fold into an extremely compact shape that could easily be placed in the backseat of a car or in the trunk of a vehicle. The only exception would be the trunk of the most compact cars.
If you’re doubtful as to whether the walker will fit into the trunk of your car, you’ll be well advised to measure the trunk of your vehicle beforehand. Even if the walker does not fit into the trunk of the vehicle, it is almost always possible to place it in the backseat.
Tips & Tricks
- Use Indoors and Outdoors
The walker is designed to be streamlined and especially suited to passing through doorways, which many other walkers fail at. It has excellent maneuverability and can function over a wide range of surfaces. While it is suited to the confines of moving around indoors, it is also equally suited to use outdoors.
The built-in seat of the walker means that you can rest between fazes of walking, allowing you to cover a far longer distance than you would otherwise. Also, the built-in bag of the walker and a holder for beverages means that you can do various chores while moving around. - Consult the Walker’s Manual
Since the walker has been carefully engineered for convenience, it is shipped completely assembled. However, it has a manual that you should consult to get the best results. The manual will guide you through the process of customizing the walker to your own unique needs and physical makeup. It is a very simple process that requires a very small number of steps to get the walker operational.

Yes. The UpWalker really does work by getting you back on your feet and helping to regain some of your independence. Since the UpWalker allows you to stand upright, it will help correct your posture, cause you less pain and will help you feel more secure and independent.
The wide stance of this product, its elbow rests and handles allow you to go places that you never thought you could. It also features large 8-inch wheels so that it can virtually glide over any surface. You will be able to walk on gravel, grass or solid surfaces with ease. Most users claim that they feel safer, stable and more secure when using this walker when compared to traditional walkers.

Good Product For People Who Really Need It
Most people who need this product probably may not have a lot of time left on this planet. So spending the money and making the payments is worth it if it gives them comfort in their final years. As for the price. All new products are expensive at first because manufacturing is very expensive to get a product started and of course, sales predict the weather or not the price comes down. The investors get paid back and the people manufacturing have to be paid. So pay the piper and be glad someone took the time to sell a good product. Socialism doesn't work so stop wanting everything for anything. Support your president for reelection in 2020.

Get a Grip
First off, medical equip is expensive. Secondly, people in the USA go into business to make a profit— it is not greed; it is capitalism. There are plenty of people who think this product is worth the money. So if you can’t or won’t pay this price — go shop elsewhere. I read these reviews to gain insight on how this product functions, not to read your bitching about price. If you can’t afford Cadillacs, then you should stick to chevys. Now go away so I can make a Decision.

I saw this extended rollator on Amazon and scrutinized it thoroughly and I'm convinced that it's better and much less expensive than the UpWalker.

DIY Amazon Accessory
Why not buy an accessory from Amazon and make your own Lifewalker. Medline GO7702 Walker Platform Attachment is the cradle you rest your arms in so you can stand up tall. It can adhere to a new or existing walker with just a little imagination. It can be purchased for an Adult or Youth. I think the manufacturer if you do a little research, took bits and pieces of accessories to make the Lifewalker, European multi-terrain 8-10 inch wheels, a carrying bag, molded seat, beverage holder, lockable brakes etc. Only the Aluminum frame is different.

Considered Buying UpWalker Unitl!
I was so excited when I saw the commercial for the UpWalker on TV. I thought my mother-in-law could really use it. Then I read the reviews, saw the price and read about the weight. This is not worth the price, hassle of use for the care-giver to try to transport and not worth the safety issues for the patient and the care-giver. Note to the company - realizing you are a for-profit company - however you do need to understand WHO your target Market is and the fact you have a product that is OVER-PRICED for your target Market. GREED and safety concerns will take a potential great product out of this Market space - which is a shame when you could have served a GREATER NEED.

Learn how to spell and use proper English before using vulgar language. To s/b “too” heavy; ridicules s/b “ ridiculous” sue s/b “file suit”. You need to acquire the proper building blocks before you turn into an online critic. The company does need to have a customer relations person get on this site and clear up some of these questions. I.E. The UpWalker is clearly priced from $495 to $695. For the Large sized person.
KJ Reneli I partially agree with your critique. Vulgar language is never necessary to use when making a point. For the rest of your critique my response is the following. Where is your punctuation after the word "ridiculous"? The word "get" should be eliminated from your critique. The word "and"should be "to". The word "some" should be "all". After reading your critique, in my opinion, the person requiring the proper building blocks before turning into an impassioned online critic is you. Do you really enjoy putting down others? If you really cared, you would instead help them. I hope you gained something positive from me on your critique. All I was doing was gaining info on the UpWalker however, I could not in good faith just continue on after reading your critique.
No need to be snarky. Some people are just not educated. Does not mean they are sincere.
UP WALKER
When I bring up the page as on TV it says the price is $495.00 but when I go to the page to order it, it says the price is $595.00. Don't understand why they advertise the price as on sale for $495.00 then turn around and charge $595.00.

Not Many Reviews From Owners
Why is it there are very few reviews from people who actually own one of these. Most reviews are complaints of the price of the walker and they didn't buy one. I want to know from people who have one how well they work. To heavy at 37 lbs? My wife's scooter battery weighs more than that.

Way too many bad reviews to consider in buying this human trap! Why would I put my grand dad in danger of falling and injuring himself or maybe Even him Dying! The injuries could be too much for his frail body! I cant believe how much they want. $595 is way too much money! All they freakin care about is lining their pockets over folks who really could benefit from it. But then they make a product that's junk. Realy? How dare you! Pure GREED!

Thumbs Down on UpWalker
I have had 2 UpWalkers, each that developed the same major flaw that made the walkers unusable. Within a few days for the 1st walker, and less than a day with the 2nd, the brake locked firmly on the wheel not allowing it to turn. The user's manual instructions did not help resolve the situation, and a call to UpWalker's customer service was not helpful (just said to do what the manual said). A promised call from technical support never happened. A locked brake that cannot be released, makes this a fatal flaw, and I cannot recommend for anyone to purchase this product!

Garbage--do not buy
I returned this to Amazon. I thought it would help my mom with her daily park walks (concrete walk) -- it is too heavy to steer, and extremely difficult to put in your car. You can't use this at home either. I even tried to help mom steer this monster and it was still difficult. She nearly fell it was that bad. I returned it but it was extremely difficult to repackage it. This product was not safe for my mom -- she's back to her standard four-wheel walker. I tend to believe all those positive reviews were from employees of UpWalker. This thing really is quite horrible for nearly $600. Horrible!

Medicare Question
? Is procedure to have medicare and/or supplemental insurance to help pay for this walker ?
6 of 9 people found this review helpful.
Was this review helpful to you?
Medicare does not pay for walkers.
Medicare will pay for 80% cost of walkers--BUT not these. The walker must be a medicare approved one purchased from a medicare-approved store with a doctor's order. I believe you also need to get a copy of the progress note that documents the need for a walker. Medicare will NOT pay for these UpWalkers.
They paid for mine and my sons.
Medicare DOES in fact pay for walkers that have gone trough the approval process to be covered by medicare. They have specific medical requirements for paying for each type(walker, wheelchairs: transport, manual, lightweight, ultralight/custom, scooter, power, "rehab"/custom power, etc) and your Dr will not only have to write a prescription, they will have to provide a letter of medical necessity(LMN). Considering that UpWalker doesn't provide Medicare or insurance approval info, they either have not gone through or failed Medicare approval. UpWalker is not the first upright walker, it's just the first that's invested a crap ton of money in advertising to consumers. There ARE upright walkers that Medicare DOES cover. The particular one that I researched was upwards of $1200. Medical equipment is obscenely expensive & if it has for though both FDA & Medicare approvals, the price is even higher. Before bitching about $500-$600 for a walker, spend some time spec-ing out a fully customized wheelchair(I'm not talking about "options" like specialty colors, bags, etc, but things like size, type of cushion, back rest, safety equip, power assist, full power, tilt & recline, etc) and then tell me that $500 is expensive for your freedom & mobility. My most recent chair, fully designed, came in just under $8k not including the $9k power assist add on I need.
Fraud
You may say price is 495.00 from ad on tv, but it is not. 599.97 is how they quoted it to me, saying that the free things add up to the 100.00. It reads to me as fraud.

My mom passed in Dec 2017. But we had a regular walker, a rotator walker and a jazzy chair. After she fell with her quad cane. The price of this is way way too high. Consider how much Medicare will pay for mobile aids and it’s the family that pays the most. I think this might be a good ideal but the cost of making this is so inflated. She did not get to try this but I also wonder how leaning on your forearms really could help since she had such problems with balance and even mobility. In the house at the end she used a regular wheelchair with the feet rest removed and walked around in the wheelchair and outside her rotator walker or her jazzy chair. I just don’t see this being useful for the price. Speaking from a family care giver for over 10 years. It’s just too expensive.
Caregivers are a blessing. From what I understand insurance doesn’t cover this new product that didn't even have a patent yet. So if you can hold off and see what happens.

Why is there no answers to all these questions? Especially about if insurance will cover the cost. I know $600 is out of my price range of affordability!

According to their website, you have to ask if Medicare, Medicaid, insurance will reimburse you.
According to Medicare, if you have 80/20 on your Medicare, they will pay 80% of it with a cost for you of $120.00.
If you have a supplemental insure will it pick up the $120.00?
This particular walker will not be covered by Medicare unless you can get it through one of their approved distributors PLUS you must have documentation from your doctor that it would be the type you need. You know - all the government red tape. And I've seen some say on here that it is very heavy to maneuver. And hard to put in a car. The chart is now over 75% negative reviews, too.
Where can I purchase this UpWalker for $495? The website and customer service line to purchase this from the UpWalker company are selling it for $595. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

According to the television commercials, they have a $100 off promotion. I think I saw the same on their website.
The $495 price is a mislead. The tv ad offers 3 free gifts valued at a total of $100.(their valuation not necessarily real world value). I have been researching this and have not found it for less than 594.95.
The website advertises $100 "savings" by adding at no extra charge a backrest, a personal pouch and a cup holder and free shipping valued at $60. There is no discount on the device.
As long as you had a RX for walker stating UP Walker insurance should pay 80%. It is advertised on TV cheaper so that's where I would purchase it from.
***WRONG!*** Yes you need a prescription but the walker must be purchased from a medicare-approved store. They will not be carrying this product because it really is very difficult to steer and awkward to use.

The current UpWalker is about 37 pounds and is difficult to steer. It's impossible to fit in a standard car--you need a van with a lift to take it in and out of the vehicle. Think about what you are saying. You won't be able to use anything heavier--it's problematic using the current one.
The UpWalker fold down for easy transport and weighs 23lbs.

Since it is so expensive. Would it be medicare approved as an aid for walking? My husband had a serious stroke. He has no balance, but can walk some on a walker. If this is so wonderful, I believe they should accept Medicare. When you pay this much Out-Of-Pocket, you need to know who certified it. If it IS certified by someone clout, should be able to get it easy!

UpWalker Simply Too High
Simply too high - Just a Walker - only with an extention. Elderly people are on a fix budget cannot afford such. This is not much more than a wheel chair and should not cost much more than a regular walker with a few extra added. Too expensive.

Don't use this. My mom nearly fell using this and she never had a stroke. It's very hard to steer. That's even with me trying to help her steer it as she walked.
You said you bought this and it’s hard to maneuver Can you tell us more.
