Great chair, easy to move around in and a great price.

Was able to work with Spinlife experts to build a custom chair that was exact to my mother's needs. Strong, yet very lightweight and colorful, too.

Wheel rims scratched easily. Would have liked to have a more durable surface.

Disabled elderly woman, RA, scoliosis, diabetic, non-weight bearing, overweight, best mother in the whole world, full of love for everyone!

Extremely easy to maneuver and propel. Fits through standard doorways. Numerous options to make it a truly custom wheelchair at a reasonable price.

Would have liked a chrome option for wheel rails but wasn't offered in this size.

Leg extensions are garbage; they broke upon first use. Bad welds and craftsmanship; they should be made here in the USA.

Lots of color choices, and size options (I have a 14" seat, which makes a big difference in my small house, but also fits my body and optimizes my body mechanics). It is lightweight, which helps me during use and anyone taking it in and out of a car. It folds and unfolds easily. It maneuvers well and rolls easily. I appreciate the lock/release mechanism for the arm rests, which are much easier to use than on other/earlier models. It is sturdy and well made. I've only had the chair for a month, so cannot attest to durability, but have no concerns that it won't go the distance for me. It operates so smoothly, with relatively little effort, that I've been pleasantly surprised at how well my hands, wrists and shoulders are holding up so far. I am convinced that this chair is high value for the price I paid (my high ratings above reflect this quality/value ratio... rather than a comparison with high end, super lightweight or sports chairs).

The right side of the chair seems to have received a slightly thicker coat of paint, which has made things harder to work at first, but I'm breaking it in and things are loosening up nicely (It almost stopped the insertion of the quick release axel, on that side, which required hammering in while the other side slipped in as intended). It has also helped both sides to lubricate the receptacles for the armrests, as they were sticky and have taken some coaxing. Like other swing-away footrests, these are somewhat awkward for me to put on and off while seated in the chair.

Durable. Easy to use.

51 yr old female with MS

Very durable, easy to fold up, easy to roll. When you use a product 24/7 and you have to depend on this product, it has to perform for you 24/7.

The bearings on the front wheels should be a better quality (too cheap of a brand) The arm pads should be a better brand (the foam is not thick, should be better foam padding)

kenneth s. from addis, la

I am 62 yrs old, T7 paraplegic. Been in a wheelchair for 42 yrs, I love the 9000xt...

Very durable, lightweight

The plastic parts have some sharp spots on them, wheels, adjustment pins for the arms. Used some sandpaper on them, ok now
