Veranda

Good value, if we knew we could buy a decent chair in this price range we'd have bought one a year ago.

Time will tell if the tubing will hold up to the stress exerted by para-van restraints.

66 year old woman w/ level 4 COPD. Primary use of chair is transport to / from Dr.'s visits on para-van service.

Foot pads attachments quite easy to use.

None so far.

Transportation for my wife.

Mobility, weight, folding ability, cost.

Chair should have been tested more at the shop to eliminate our need to send it back on a small item that would have been picked up by quality check of removal of the arm rests, etc. However, the company was quick to send us a new chair upon sending them our complaint.

Female, 75 yrs, arthritic, extended walking is a problem. Chair used mostly when shopping, etc.

Durable, moves well

Heavy and it does not fit in all car trunks

I bought this to replace the same wheelchair my mother already has. Her current wheelchair after 7+yrs has gotten used and abused

Build quality. Ease of use, especially folding. Adjustability. Rolls very easily even across reasonably smooth turf.

The handgrips are just a little small for my large hands.

The Invacare Veranda wheelchair was purchased for my 88 year old mother who has arthritis and COPD. She also lacks the strength to walk

For the price, it serves it purpose. Brakes do not hold though

Bad smell of the fabric used. Brakes don't hold and must be readjusted and only have used it 2weeks indoors.

esther s. from los angeles, ca

Temporarily unable to put weight on legs and cannot walk

Easy to use, fold and unfold. Comfortable (I use a thin cushion also).

The seat width is 18" on the standard, but the width between the arms is just over 16". This is stated if you look carefully at all the specs and info. This might make a difference for some getting in and out of the chair. Also the wheel locks were so tight I could not use it. My son was able to loosen them for me, and I'm sure a call to customer service would help anyone with a similar issue.

This wheelchair is great! I ordered the standard size and it is just right to get down my hallway and around corners. It is also lightweight enough

Very durable wheelchair. Brakes are firm but easy to put on and off. Rear back pocket is convenient for small items.

Plastic footrests are not very durable for my husband's population. He pushes on the footplate (involuntary movements with chorea.) In the past, I have swapped the footplate out with a metal footplate for improved durability, but this was not an option at your site.

My husband has Huntington's Disease and is very limited in his mobility.

The price

The small front wheels broke off easily
