My Wife is 54yrs old and she Has MS, and cannot get around without help. Holding her head up wears her out.

The ease at which the relining mechanism works.

The wheel brakes are hard to move. The user can't undo them so easy but the care giver has to really push on the handle to release or activate them.

It is very easy to use the reclining function. The seat and back are very comfortable and the chair maneuvers very well in small places. It is very sturdy but not bulky.

We have not found any shortcomings..this chair suits our purposes very well.

if you have a person is in bed all the time and you want them in the same room as you. this wheelchair is it. you can lie the person down to flat or at any angle from sit up to lie down flat. We went out and bought a lounger cushion to put inside of it too. she is learning to side from the bed to the wheelchair

the Hemi swingaway padded elevating leg rest is to short when you raise to top of the wheelchair also would recommend that you put strap on one side between the foot and padded calf rest so you hook it to the other side to support the ankle area when you put up. we put a board across it under the cushion. also it would be nice if came with a belt too .

female 91 yrs, curve back, Alzheimer, can not sit up in regular wheelchair more than 2 hours

Seems to be well made and sturdy. Elegant looking in comparison to ho hum "normal" wheel chairs. Seat height is adjustable, a plus for those who wish to scoot around, although it is heavier to manipulate w/out assistance.

Extendable footrests should not be optional, but part of the full pkg. And they should be easier to adjust. Warning about how to use reclining levers should be attached to directions.
