Cougar: Review

 
4.5 / 5
Strengths:

lightweight, easy to fold,back push bar,

Weaknesses:

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.

It's okay, but not great.

 
3.5 / 5
Strengths:

It is light and easy to use.

Weaknesses:

The tires are not "air" tires. They only look that way. For the price of $700, I feel it should have been much better. I am keeping it, because it is better than the last wheelchair.

Reviewer:
User Details:

The ease of lifting the chair, this was why I ordered a light weight chair. It folds easily.

Weaknesses:

I don't like the fact that the arm rests aren't fixed in place.

It has some shortcomings.

 
3.5 / 5
Strengths:

It truly is lightweight, and my husband who has been very ill is able to lift it. I am the user.

Weaknesses:

We needed more detailed instructions on how to adjust it. We had to take it into a shop for adjustment. Nowhere in the literature we received did it say that the wheel popped off with a press of the inner knob. The legrests are more difficult to click into firm position than I am used to. Otherwise, the characteristics are very good.
