Cougar

Workmanship

Needs to be easer to dismantle and place in front seat of vehicle by the amputee.

john a. from brownsboro, al

My name is John Acklin I am a right leg amputee also I have little use for my left leg so I am in my Cougar Wheel chair which I love very much.

Lightweight and many ways to adjust the back, height, etc.

On this one,the seat could be a little deeper but I think this is what we ordered.

Great wheelchair, lightweight and portable. The leg rest of the Cougar are well designed.

Peripheral neuropathy, spinal stenosis.

The light weight and comfort while sitting are the best.

Difficult for me to maneuver on carpeting, but that's not a huge problem. Others are able to roll it easily for me.

velda b. from winslow, ar

I'm 78 but am disabled with neuropathy, stenosis and arthritis so that I can no longer walk or stand for more then a minute or two.

This is a well-made chair. After using heavier, less expensive chairs for years this more than meets my expectations. I noticed that even the parts (especially in front) that would nick the furniture are more rounded and less destructive to what they come into contact with. The chair itself is more comfortable to move around in as it responds to my touch easier. My family and friends don't complain when we go somewhere as this wheelchair is much lighter to transport. Wish that I had been able to get this sooner.

I haven't had it long enough to determine any problems. Maybe there aren't any, at least for me.

Really like the wheel brake operation. Chair is light weight and sits comfortably. The standard seat pad is sufficient. Chair is versatile for loading in vehicle with easy off wheels and back that folds down.

Rolling resistance a little higher than my other chairs.

VERY EASY TO HANDLE

THE LEG RESTS ARE A LITTLE HARDER TO GET OFF AND ON

joann h. from upland, ca (caregiver)

My husband had a stroke 5 years ago. He can walk a little with a cane but is mostly in a wheelchair. He is now 81 and I am 80. I am his care giver.

lightweight, easy to fold,back push bar,

metal projections where foot rest inserts have sharp edges that cause severe skin cuts and abraisions when the foot rests are off. The 2 nuts right above the front wheels are also sharp and injurious - acorn nuts would solve that problem. We put rubber furniture caps over the projections, but you could have them made smoother to start with.
