I would like to share my experience with the Can Go Smart Cane, a product I recently purchased from Best Buy. In an era where technology is evolving at an incredible pace, the Cane truly stands out as a product that truly enhances our lives, specifically addressing the challenges associated with mobility and navigation for individuals with visual impairments and seniors.
From the moment you unbox the Cane, you can tell that a great deal of thought and care went into its design and manufacturing. It's sleek, modern, and lightweight, yet sturdy, making it a comfortable and reliable companion for daily use. The handle fits perfectly in hand, offering a secure grip even during prolonged periods of use.
The Cane offers real-time navigation assistance, utilizing in-built sensors and GPS technology to alert users of upcoming obstacles or turns. It's like having your own personal guide, making outdoor excursions much less stressful. It even integrates with popular map applications, ensuring you always know where you're going.
Battery life is another commendable aspect. Despite its numerous functionalities, the Cane lasts several days on a single charge, and the in-app battery level indicator ensures that you're never caught off guard with a dead battery.
The Cane is more than just a walking aid - it's a game-changer that brings independence and confidence back into the lives of those who need it the most. It truly lives up to its name, showcasing that anyone 'Can Go' anywhere with ease and safety.
It gets a full five-star rating from me, and I would recommend it to anyone in need of a mobility aid.

The CAN Go smart cane is a superior product that is sleek, sturdy, and fun to use. It's like having a wellness companion and an emergency pendant in one.
Here are more details behind my purchase.
First, clearly this product is in a league of its own. Just like the iPhone, the CAN Go looks like a super stylish product but it's also packed with all the safety features technology can afford us today, from emergency calling, GPS, fall detection and a web portal that helps promote an active lifestyle while keeping the family informed.
I love the wall-mount charger too, it's a docking station for the CAN Go that you can install in the living room or the bedroom and it's automatically included (see pic of the charger installed). It also has a second travel charger, too.
The packaging is also a testament to the quality of this product, with a beautiful box that matches the cane's golden hue, as if Apple made it. In fact, it would fit in an Apple Store perfectly. But what really makes this product its own category is the advanced technology. With an intuitive dashboard that allows you to track your activity and progress, this cane is perfect for those who want to stay on top of their fitness goals while also caring about safety. And the best part is, you don't even need to log in to a website to get the reports - they're sent straight to your phone via text message.
The emergency calling button that can be programmed to call your loved ones or a call center in case of an accident or fall. I love the two-way calling feature. My Mom can call me from the cane when she feels unwell. And I can call my Mom on the CAN Go, too. And when I call her I know she does not have to juggle her purse and the phone while walking with the cane. Another safety feature, it has a strong light she uses when she walks around the backyard checking on her flowers.
The CAN Go is definitely a fashion statement and that's something my Mom cares a lot about. We don't even call it a cane, we call it the "Cango." It simply does not look like a traditional cane at all. We are true proud owners and Mom feels great about herself using it. She gets a lot of compliments and questions about where she bought it.
What I love about the product the most:
1. The overall design and the the docking station, a super cute home for the even a cuter CAN Go
2. Activity goals - I love the reporting feature. I live far away and I get to see my parents once or twice a year. It's just gives me comfort to see my Mom is active and follows the walking regiment she was given to prep for her surgery
3. Peace of mind - both my Mom and I love the emergency calling button on the cane. You have to press it and hold it for a short while to make sure it's not an accidental call. Now I have another way to reach Mom and, yes, the cane has its own phone number. I have entered it into my contact address book as Mom's cane :)
I love the idea of the CAN Go smart cane community that my mom is now part of. I am not sure if there is a Facebook group yet but there needs to be one.
In summary, I am glad I have discovered this product and got it for my Mom. I know I got her the best product on the market. She deserves nothing less.

I recently purchased the CAN Go smart cane for my elderly mother, and I couldn't be happier with it. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed with the product's design and build quality. It feels like a premium device, much like an Apple product, which is always a good thing.
But what really sets the CAN Go apart is its ease of use. My mother had no trouble figuring out how to use the cane's various features, including the ability to call me with a press of a button. The cane also allows her to track her daily activities, which has encouraged her to use it more often. This is a great feature that not only helps my mother stay active and healthy, but also provides me with peace of mind.
Speaking of which, the ability to receive text reports about my mother's activity even when I'm traveling is truly invaluable. I can't tell you how much comfort it brings me to know that I can stay connected to her even when I'm not physically there.
Overall, I highly recommend the CAN Go smart cane to anyone looking for a high-quality, user-friendly cane that provides valuable features for both the user and their loved ones. It's a fantastic product that has made a real difference in my mother's life, and I'm grateful to have found it.

I read about this cane a few months ago and placed a preorder for my mother, sight unseen, based on the description. The cane has actually exceeded my expectations and I have now purchased a second cane as a backup. There are a few things that make this cane stand out. For one thing, it has a very attractive and if you have to carry something with you all the time, it’s really nice for it to look good. Second, the light is a great feature. My mom relies on it if she needs to get up in the middle of the night. And of course, the one-touch phone feature. As we all know, falling is a real hazard for seniors, and being able to summon help immediately from the cane is a brilliant idea. It’s worth the price and I am considering getting a third cane to give as a gift.

"I hadn't seen my father excited about a gift in a very long time" is what my cousin told me after I brought this cane as a gift to my 80-year-old uncle. The cane is elegant and unique.

Buying a gift for seniors is usually tricky and difficult. I always hesitate to buy gifts for seniors because I overthink their unpredictable reaction.
Can Go solve that issue for me, they love it. It is a cane but cool. It is a tech product, but simple. I finally found a gift that impresses my aunt.

This is the true Smart Cane. It really does make calls, have a virtual voice assistant, fitness tracker and more. It will even ask you if you need assistance if you fall down! That's SMART.

The CAN go is a really amazing smart walking stick and really well designed and adds a lot of value compared to a non smart walking stick. The flashlight is helpful and being able to track your steps is very useful. Most of all I appreciate the ability to make emergency calls in instances of a fall, which fortunately hasn’t happened yet. It’s a really heavy duty stick and designed to last, I highly recommend it.

Its motivated my dad to walk more by being able to set activity goals. He also gets asked about it a lot. Really gives me relief to be able to monitor my dad's activity level and know he can use it to call me anytime.

This is one of the best items best buy has to offer. My grandfather loves this and it changed his entire life when walking. He was worried when he was first told to use a cane by his doctor and now he looks forward to using it due to this product.
