The chair is easy to use, brakes work nicely and I feel secure in it.

Easy to use and fairly light weight for the size.

We lend out medical equipment to those unable to purchase or just need to use and item on a short term basis.

It's very light compared to other bariatric chairs.

The front wheels are small, so if you come up to any kind of threshold you have to "pop a wheelie" to get over it. The plastic side panels under the arms are kind of annoying and fragile since hers have already cracked.

nicole b. from vancouver, wa (caregiver)

My wife has MS and was in need of a new wheelchair since her old one was worn out.

Flexibility and comfort.

None.

Its handling is a great advantage.

No device that I can step on to lift the front wheels.

elmer d. from hampton, va (caregiver)

My wife, who has been wheelchair-bound for the past two years. She is 85 years old.

Easy to handle -- can be pushed by someone half my size.

Needs a cushion for long trips. My lower back sometimes aches.

robert c. from unionville, ct

68 year old male who is unable to walk.

Well-built, but could use some refinement. Nice appearance. The angle of the leg rests is comfortable.

My husband says he feels the metal bars beneath the seat, even though he does use a cushion. The legrests could work a little more smoothly. The ride does not roll completely smooth. You can hear a soft click when he rolls along.

david h. from longmont, co

My husband, who is 91 years old. He cannot walk because of his very painful knees.

Does the job.

Don't like the finish on the frame work. My other chair has chrome bracing. New one has some funky paint splatter pattern. Didn't need foot rests. Would have liked full size arm rests instead of the desk style which supposedly the only one available in the larger size chair.

vicki c. from tipton, mi

61, difficulty walking, frequent falls in the home.

It is very easy to use

I don't see any
