We have this for use at our public attraction. We need this heavy duty chair for our visitors who feel more comfortable and secure in a roomier wheelc

Heavy-duty, well constructed

The arm pads crack easily

Price, weight of chair

Plastic side panels. They break after a year of use. I then take the chair to a welder and have him put metal bars in.

karen r. from naperville, il

67, ankle and spinal fusions. Able to walk very short distances, use my chairs for everyday activities.

Strong, stable base. Wish there could be metal on the arm rests. The plastic just breaks with repeated use and with moving the chair in and out of a van(manually folding and unfolding it).

The plastic on the sides on the armrests. The plastic under the armrests breaks really easy and then I get all the stuff on the pavement, carpet, etc on my clothes. It's bad in the snow and rain. I live in Minnesota.

pamela k. from st. cloud, mn

57yrs old, left knee crushed beyond repair, nerve damage causing foot drop.

I like that this chair is heavy duty. I've not tipped over or fallen out of this chair.

I can feel the metal bars under my seat and they press against the backs of my thighs. I've had to put a pillow there... Maybe its where I live, I don't know, but the static I build up, really makes me get a shock from anything I touch, including people. The leg peg parts are not very stable and the screws are loosening up to fall off, I've had to reinforce with foam, because, my legs rub on the sides of my knees, wears me out fast, doesn't feel good.

Very good

None

arlene c. from cana, va

I need it to work in the kitchen, mainly. I use a walker around the house, but it's difficult to work in kitchen using that.

It can fit through most doors.

The tires were not comfortable on certain grounds.

tina m. from colbert, wa (caregiver)

Spinal cord injury, has helped with sitting.

The way it is made is really good. It is a good wheelchair for someone who is heavy and it is very comfortable to ride in.

The only thing is the straps for the heels to go back against. It is hard to get used to, but doing good so far.
