Reviewers call this folding walker outstanding among basic walking frames, not only for its bright blue color but also for its storage pouches at the front and sides, including a drink holder. Another plus is its narrow 20-inch width, which makes it easy to fit through doorways. The Hugo 007-010 comes with rear glides plus two options for the front: regular legs with rubber tips, the safest but slowest option, or 5-inch wheels for faster movement. Users say the center-mounted release button is easy to use, and the walker folds very compactly to a 4-inch depth. Eight height adjustments range from 31 to 37 inches to fit most adults.
The Hugo 007-010 is covered by a limited lifetime warranty, and no reports of accidents have been filed with the Food and Drug Administration. Users say this walker is easy to fold, and many like its bright blue color and handy storage pouches. We see no complaints about the lack of a food tray, but the pouch arrangement could make it difficult to find a tray to fit this model. In addition, its narrow width -- while handy for maneuvering through tight spaces -- could make it a tight fit for some users. The rear glides are replaceable (*Est. $4) but seem to be a weak point; one owner says they fell off and another reports that they scratched wooden floors, so you might want to replace them with softer "tennis ball" glides.
We found detailed reviews of the Hugo 007-010 Adjustable Folding Walker from users at three retail sites: Amazon.com, Walmart.com and SamsClub.com. While it's easiest to compare models at Amazon.com, more owner feedback is available at Walmart.com. Only a handful of users post comments at SamsClub.com, but rate the walker separately for quality and value.

More than a dozen owners give the Hugo folding walker 4.6 stars out of 5 at Amazon.com. Except for one large man who finds it shaky, users call this model sturdy, convenient and easy to use. One reviewer is a physical therapist who notes that the 007-010's narrow width makes it excellent for getting through doorways, but that the user's hips should be 18 inches or narrower to fit properly within the frame.
