Comet 330

lightweight, easy to maneuver, folds tight, handle brakes help when going downhill and easy parking.

brakes squeek when going downhill, uncomfortable w/o cushion and cushion falls through back, no storage pocket on back of chair, no drink holder on front, no height adjustment from ground to seat height, needs better foot push for tilting chair to drop off curbs, no side pockets for storage. When a person is using a chair they usually stay in it for long periods of time and storage pockets for the patient and the person pushing are always needed. A velco cushion attachment would make the chair comfortable. An optional headrest would also be nice for someone who may sleep in the chair. Place wheel locks for easy access for the person sitting in the chair in the event the attendant forgets and the chair takes off.

Ease of rolling and pushing and the size of the wheels. I feel it was reasonably priced and a good value.

I felt the seat of the chair could be a little larger. My husband is 5'11" and is weighs 143lbs, and he just fits, with no room to spare. I would of liked to have metal, instead of plastic for the foot supports.

it's very light.

the brake screws fell off after being used for three days; the right side seems to be be very loose.

This lack of those big side wheels makes it easy to get through some tight spaces in the house. It is also easy to fold and transport, and easy to maneuver with the oversized read wheels. It came with a seat belt which a previous review said it had lacked, so reviews seem to have an effect!

It doesn't seem to lock open and feels like it is going to fold shut when we are getting her in to it, but that may just be my inexperience with such equipment. Her aide seems to handle it very well.

My mother, at 85, with advanced Parkinson's can no longer walk and is incapable of wheeling herself.

Ease of folding. Actaully I did not think I would use the hand brakes, but they are a must, and I would encourage anyone who buys on to include the hand brakes. I like the swing out foot rests.

For the price, it's a great product. I used it on some rough terain, and found it is not made for that, but normal smooth ok, but think the ad mentioned that fact.

Portability, price.

Brakes are not dependable

Lightweight, and folds up compactly.

The footrests could be easier to adjust and tighten.
