9000 XDT

Seat to floor height (tall), extra long footplate option to accommodate size 15 foot, ride smooth so far for 250# user, seems durable, turns/maneuvers fairly well w/ caregiver pushing, looks decent, back well padded, push handles low enough for 5'2" caregiver

Lack of quick release wheels for transport, sailcloth seat was wrinkled from day one, awkward folding procedure, no way to fold footplates up (only off) for narrow storage, adjustments like back height require technician, brakes don't prohibit movement straight out of the box and need adjustment (which I haven't tried yet), incredibly heavy airplane-style seat belt metal piece, which tempts me to cut off the belt -- should have gotten aftermarket belt

Being able to order the size needed.

It sure does cost a lot.

caroline r. from mcallen, tx (caregiver)

My husband is 6'2" and unable to walk. He is in a nursing home with Alzheimer's and he needed a chair for medical appointments.

comfort of seat

Invacare should improve the side panals; they break too easly. By now someone should have been listening. I have used invacare a long time and always have this problem.

I was able to put together the chair I wanted. Extra height, wider seat etc. It is truly my chair

At this time, I cannot find any weaknesses.

It gives me greater mobility since I had my leg amputated.

Quality and sturdiness

A little on the heavy side

physical disability

Design and comfort as well as the fit.

Weakness of the cross bar underneath...it broke.

susan r. from muncy valley, pa

Age 58, some paralisis in the lower extemeties.

Very good quality.

Because I ordered the seat to be 17" instead of the standard 16" it caused my legs to sit higher on the leg rest, however, the leg adjustment could not be shortened enough, so my legs keep falling backward off the foot rest.
