Lightweight, easy-to-handle--Looks good!

 
4.5 / 5
Strengths:

Pre-assembled, lightweight, fantastic color.

Weaknesses:

The foot rests need a back-foot strap/support to prevent foot from sliding back. Foot rests were a little difficult to maneuver.

Nothing better in this price range

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

This chair is so lightweight that I have no problem folding it up and getting it in and out of my car's trunk by myself. Considering the price (well under $200), I'd rate this chair a "10" out of 10.

Weaknesses:

The hubcaps fell off the first time I used the chair outside my house, but they're not essential. The straight back isn't very comfortable for long periods of sitting, but adding a seat cushion and a small lumbar cushion makes it perfectly fine.

5.0 / 5
Strengths:

Compactness, versatility, lightweight

Weaknesses:

No weaknesses discovered yet, except it might be nice if the height of the armrests could be adjustable to fit under tabletops for dining. Only wish we had purchased a few months before we did!

5.0 / 5
Strengths:

Lightweight, ease of opening and folding back up. Like that you can lock the brakes to be able to help someone in and out of the chair. Very compact when folded; fits easily in trunk of car. Large wheels make using chair over grass, gravel, etc. very easy, smooth ride. Very easy and light to push my adult son in. He loves riding in it.

Weaknesses:

None; exactly what I was looking for. Did have a long wait to receive the chair after I ordered it as they were out of stock on the blue color.

4.0 / 5
Strengths:

Lightweight, larger back wheels, fold down back and handles.

Weaknesses:

Very disappointed that there is no brake set for the back wheels. Only hand brake for the caregiver. As a nurse myself, this is very dangerous for the person getting in or out of the chair without someone holding the hand brakes. The chair will slide away from them
