Detachable foot rests and arm rests - narrow width - I own a very old farm house with narrow doorways - I use a different heavy duty wheelchair for work, shopping and sporting events.

This is really not a weakness, but I exceed the weight limit and so eventually (about 9-12 months) there is metal fatique. The cross beams will shear off. I always have an identical wheechair on hand so when this happens, I am not left high and dry. I order the next wheelchair as soon as I start using the new one. - I always remove the leg rests and arm rests immediately. I just throw them away because they are of no use to me.

The Medline 3000 transport (small) wheels can only be used with the 19" seat height setup (and not with the 17" or hemi setup). This should be mentioned in the product literature. Also, the seat angle or dump should be part of the product literature.

Because it is made mostly of plastic it is very lightweight

The leg rails stick out too far from the chair when they are not being used.

flexibility in configurations (e.g., arms can be lifted for transition to/from chair. Legs could be relaced with an upgraded product easily.

The chair is stiff when it comes to collapsing & opening. The quality is okay, don't know how long it will really last.
