Person has difficulty in walking and we use it for doctor visits.

As a former "fabricator" I would say it was sufficiently constructed.

none at this time!

Very satisfied!

12" rear wheels add extra support, also allows for easier moving.

66 yr old male, stroke victim.

The weight, I can lift it.

Wish I could wipe it off, vinyl or leather.

robert s. from maumee, oh (caregiver)

He is 89 and has had a brain bleed.

User weighs almost 300 lbs. Chair holds up to the weight just fine.

The front wheels easily get facing the wrong direction and makes pushing the chair very difficult until they are righted.

My 74 yr. old husband has arthritis in his lower back and cannot be on his feet for very long.

Easy to get through standard width doorways. Larger back wheels make pushing easier.

None noted so far.

patrick m. from portage, mi

Sixty-eight year old male stroke survivor.

Comfortable (with foam cushion). Easy to fold and lift. We like it almost as well as the very similar Invacare she had.

Handles and handbrakes fan out slightly, making it easy to catch on doorways.

mary m. from holly hill, sc (caregiver)

96 yrs. HX stroke and CHF. Ambulates short distances with walker but unable to stand long due to back pain. (We do not want ads or offers of equip)

Strongly made. Nice, large, strong rear tires. Nice, fairly strong brakes.

When you collapse the handles to put it into the trunk of our car the handles take a lot of effort to collapse and then when you try to put the handles back in place, they have to be pushed hard to "lock" the handles...not real easy as it should be, .... in my opinion.

My 67 year old wife has MS. and can hardly walk at all. We use the chair when going anywhere.

The footrests are a little hard to attach

The lightweight fold up style goes right into the trunk of my car and with the larger rear wheels, it pushes very easily.

I really don't think there are any weaknesses

robert f. from indianapolis, in (caregiver)

She is 80 years old and walks with a cane for short distances and has difficulty breathing.

Light- easy to get around.
