Strengths:

Light weight, easy to store in van/car. Good colors, easy to push for my wife.

Could be a little more stronger but this would take away from the light weight.

An excellent chair!

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

Lightweight!!! Easy to handle, easy to lift, easy to remove the leg extensions, hand breaks are excellent on the hills for decceleration. The chair was handled through multiple flights, up hills, through ditches, through airports and in almost constant use 10 days in a row, so my test of this product was thorough. The chair met all expectations. The larger rear wheels help with stability. I am speaking as a caregiver and a physical therapist as well. This is an excellent product! One more thing, the affordable price point is an extreme asset. I would highly recommend this chair.

Weaknesses:

A little bit hard to lift over a curb by stepping on the back extensions.

I took this chair with me to Israel. I traveled with my 88 year old mother who has lung cancer. It is a terrific chair and surprising durable.

Lightweight W/12" Rear Wheels: Review

 
4.3 / 5
Strengths:

The light weight was crucial, as I could not safely lift a regular-weight wheelchair. The chair seems to be sturdy enough.

Weaknesses:

One of the foot-rest latches does not function. We will try to get it fixed locally.

5.0 / 5
Strengths:

the manuverability, weight, the sleek design

Weaknesses:

the end of the foot rest sticks out a little to far, so in a large crowd you have to constantly look out and make sure you dont scrape the person in front with the rest. This happened a couple of times to me.

for a person as myself with arthries pain issues the chair...

 
3.8 / 5
Strengths:

the leight weight of the chair is wonderful after a year of using a wheel chair with the large wheels on the side that sis would be able to move herself around with,this is so much easier for me to push her in for me as i too have arthries in my hands so i have some pain but do the best can in caring for my older handicaped sister.

Weaknesses:

my problem with this chair is that the foot rests are not on the chair in the first place & i had to fight to get them on with the aid of a friend,so that was very upsetting not knowing were or how to put the footrests on the chair & now to keep them or get them tight so not sliping out of position,the footrest are just very frustrating.
