9000 XDT

Easy to use

Assembly is not easy, back rest is not long enough to cover the bottom of the seat on the tallest adjustment. The seat cushion begins to get pushed though the crack between the seat and back rest. I have not received the chrome hand rims that was ordered for the wheelchair.

Manual 9000 XDT wheelchair 

Heavy duty.

Brake handles too long. Brakes often were hit when my son would transfer to a chair and then the brake would disengage. Luckily we assist with transfers and held chair. Took off handles and replaced with rubber tips from previous wheelchair which works ok...

40 year old who has MS and previous stroke and seizures.

Heavy duty, the attachment for crutch holders, comfortable seat, easy to move around, very nice looking, well built frame, height above floor raises body up to respectable height relative to standing people making interaction easier and more comfortable.

Protective plastic inserts on seat frame fell out. Brakes stick out a little too far, catches my upper thumb knuckle when pushing forward on the wheel, crutch holder was bent, leg rests are clunky and foot plates turn at weird angles.

The size is great for my husband's height and weight (6'4", 170lbs). It rolls smoothly and turns well. He likes the color and materials. It feels very sturdy and is not too heavy.

The chair moves when transferring even with locks securely. The front wheels move. I have to put a foot next to the front wheel to secure and it is awkward for both of us. The desk type arm rest is not comfortable for him. I chose it because of the representative's suggestion. The arm rest gets stuck in the small round holder (where the lock is) often and is very difficult to raise. It seems to have nothing to do with the lock. It's the bottom metal area and is scratched on the very bottom where it gets stuck. Sometimes it takes two people to get it unstuck.

My husband is 6'4", 190lbs, 70 years old, and has a form of Atypical Parkinson's. He can't walk anymore and this chair is great for him.

Comfortable and strong.

The seat sags a bit more than I expected.

I am in the wheelchair all day. I am unable to walk due to two neck operations, I can transfer to the toilet, and with help the shower.

Its' strength is good.

I wish it had better push rims, and I wouldn't mind slightly wider tires.

james p. from pontiac, il

It is heavy to put in or out of the truck but I expected that. It is very solid when I roll to the coffee shop about a mile and a half away.

The chair has the features needed to safely transport a patient and folds up well to put into an SUV or van.

Patient comfort seems to be of little consideration -- plastic/metal/etc ends sticking out requiring adjustments.

Easy to fold, easy to self propel

The seat lining is not holding up think it should be replaced.

elizabeth m. from dix hills, ny

I am the user of this wheelchair, I'm in it most of the day, I am not satisified with the seat,.

The chair is narrower than the old chair he had, it fits through doors better, the high seat is better for my dad to get in and out of the chair.

The footrests.

dan h. from ojai, ca (caregiver)

The chair is used by my father. He has issues with standing and needed the extra height to make it easier to get up, and for the staff to assist him.

Lightweight and a seat that is guaranteed not to sag.

Wheels are flimsy feeling. Sides of the seat have steel bars with large screws, so that it does irritate and hurt my legs. I have to use a pillow type pad to cover those steel bars on the sides. Also have to use a pillow behind my back because the back of the chair doesn't come up to my back.
