its lightweight

its strength is also its weakness - lightweight makes it seem flimsy, but it does what I need it to do.

1. Ease of handling. 2. Not too heavy. 3. Quality of construction. 4. Fold up armrests are very convenient.

I will shortly celebrate my 80th birthday, and without my new chair, I would be restricted to my home. The quality of the chair is first rate. I use

It's a good sturdy lightweight chair, easy to manuever. I'm a 70 year old woman and I can easily fold it up and put it in the car trunk. My husband, who is the user, "drives" it himself most of the time and he says it's comfortable and he feels safe when he uses it. He weighs 250 lbs and with the 300 lb capacity of the chair, it's plenty sturdy enough for him

Can't think of any weaknesses

The wheelchair was ordered for my 71 year old husband. It's sturdy, lightweight, and easy for him to manipulate himself. He is able to stand and tak

Inexpensive, basic mobility aid

I bought this chair for indoor use. I use a powerchair outside. The only issue I have with the chair is the tires. They are very hard rubber resulting in a couple of problems. 1) On plush carpet the wheels often spin -- especially when trying to turn. They don't have enough surface area to grip well. Not as bad on burber carpet, but sometimes still a problem. 2) When going down a ramp, I skidded all the way to the bottom. I confess that the ramp slope exceeded ADA recommendations, but it had a no skid surface and I was surprised to find myself skidding down it out of control. Maybe this problem will ease as the tires get scuffed up, but if I don't use it outdoors, there won't be much chance to scuff them up. The chair is a little stiff to fold up, but it's manageable for a person like me who still has decent upper body strength. I've only had the product for about a month so I can't say anything about durability yet.

It's lightweight but pretty durable. I can lift it into the trunk of our car but it is strong enough for a sizable person. Wheel locks are really secure.

It's difficult to propel yourself or push the wheelchair on deep carpeting but that's probably an issue for any wheelchair.

physical disability

Built well, easy to fold up and remove the leg lifts. Having requested the larger seat, made it very comfortable.

When I added options to customize the chair, it became rather heavy to load in out truck. I had to remove the leg lifts each time. Too bad there isn't some way to make the lifts lighter.
