Cougar

Workmanship

Needs to be easer to dismantle and place in front seat of vehicle by the amputee.

john a. from brownsboro, al

My name is John Acklin I am a right leg amputee also I have little use for my left leg so I am in my Cougar Wheel chair which I love very much.

Those adjustments we could make weren't too difficult. Very light weight and easy to get in car.

Adjustments got me quite close to a perfect fit, but not quite. Unclear yet how durable this will be. Need better instructions/website for directions.

Female 59 femoral stress fracture and related complications

Lightweight, ease of use, comes apart & goes back together fairly easy. Adjusts easily enough. Footrests work well.

Adjusting wheel brakes difficult with allen wrenches to get them tight enough

gail f. from coos bay, or

Basically healthy for her 88 years, but idiopathic peripheral neuropathy has led to pressure ulcers on left foot.

Lightweight and many ways to adjust the back, height, etc.

On this one,the seat could be a little deeper but I think this is what we ordered.

william s. from leander, tx

Peripheral neuropathy, spinal stenosis.

The light weight and comfort while sitting are the best.

Difficult for me to maneuver on carpeting, but that's not a huge problem. Others are able to roll it easily for me.

velda b. from winslow, ar

physical disability

This is a well-made chair. After using heavier, less expensive chairs for years this more than meets my expectations. I noticed that even the parts (especially in front) that would nick the furniture are more rounded and less destructive to what they come into contact with. The chair itself is more comfortable to move around in as it responds to my touch easier. My family and friends don't complain when we go somewhere as this wheelchair is much lighter to transport. Wish that I had been able to get this sooner.

I haven't had it long enough to determine any problems. Maybe there aren't any, at least for me.

Lightweight, folds up smaller than other chairs.

The seat has to be pulled apart to fold correctly and the handles don't raise.

j ward d. from omaha, ne (caregiver)

She is 48 & has degenerative disc disease, has had multi-level fusions, and has fibromyalgia. She's also cranky.

Really like the wheel brake operation. Chair is light weight and sits comfortably. The standard seat pad is sufficient. Chair is versatile for loading in vehicle with easy off wheels and back that folds down.

Rolling resistance a little higher than my other chairs.
