Lightweight, easy to use, easy to get in car

 
5.0 / 5

It has been wonderful - easy rolling, easy to fold up and put in the car. Our family highly recommends this chair. The larger rear wheels really make a difference. Good weight.

Wish it had breaks on the wheels when standing still.

Lightweight W/12" Rear Wheels: Review

 
4.8 / 5
Strengths:

well-made, sturdy, folds and stores easily, larger rear wheels make transport on stairs and bumps quite feasible; was easy to adapt oxygen tank to the back

Weaknesses:

would be nice to have a locking mechanism for the brake; I wish there was a model with locking brakes and big rear wheels.

it is what we expected and we are happy

 
4.8 / 5
Strengths:

the 12" rear wheels make it more maneuverable than other transport chairs we've tried, and it is nice and light

Weaknesses:

minor, but since you asked...on delivery there were a few things that may have happened in transport: 1. a broken wheel cover that doesn't affect anything, just looks funny if you notice it, and 2. end of brake cable bent out of shape (we bent it back and it mostly clears wheel and it works, just sometimes hits wheel then we bend it back again)
