Works well for the need and the price was right.

 
4.3 / 5
Strengths:

Light weight and ease of transport. Good construction.

Weaknesses:

Lack of a break lock. A simple lock on the current hand grips should be adequate and not cost much.

third

 
4.5 / 5
Strengths:

It is very easy to use in a residential situation. It goes through narrow doors, and into the bathroom. The light weight and small envelope make it very easy to fold and put into the car, and then remove and set up. The large rear wheels make the chair easy to push on our "rural" gravel driveway. 150 feet out from our front door, you can see the Pacific Ocean, nine miles away.

Weaknesses:

This our third unit. The "sheet metal" screws that hold the fabric on the back rest become loose, and eventually fail, with daily use. When I have to tighten the screws every day, we order a new chair. We have been getting about 24 months of service on each chair. The price is so low that repairing the chair is not economical. The patient weighs 185 lbs.
