Title: Great price for great product
Review: This wheelchair is fantastic. Wheels are nice and large. It’s sturdy. Folds so easily. Has easy brakes. Foot rest. Little compartment in back for “snacks”. My mom said seat is very comfy and price was perfect. Hy borrow a wheelchair every time mom is here if I can own one for a great price. Make sure to order a separate seat belt

Title: Sturdy, rolls easily.
Review: Helpful that it is delivered fully assembled. It’s extremely sturdy, so a bit heavy for a senior to lift into a car. Comfortable seat, backpack is convenient, but my favorite feature is that pushing it is almost EFFORTLESS! It role and pivots with ease. Adjustable foot pedals, locking wheels, blue-painted metal is beautiful.

Title: Great wheelchair!
Review: This is a great wheelchair. Lightweight, folds up easily, and has a great turn radius. I finally invested in one after my eighth leg operation and about a year and a half on crutches. I’d been using an office chair. This is so much better and allows me to work around the house. I can get in and out of tight spaces, cook, even vacuum using it! Totally worth it, and I would buy it again. I only wish I’d purchased it sooner.

Title: My experience using this wheelchair. Pros and cons.
Review: I injured my ankle and, while I can walk short distances, long ones are an issue and will be for quite a while as I heal. I had tickets to a live show that I bought months ago. That involved way more walking than I could do. I had been considering buying a wheelchair for my older sister who has mobility issues so, when I saw this one for under $100, I figured I would use it for the show and any other challenging situations that come up while I heal plus we would have it for my sister when she needed it.It did come completely assembled except for the leg rests. That’s good because my husband dreads assembling stuff. It is blue but not garish. The seat is 18″ which is plenty for me (135 pounds) but my heavier sister (160ish pounds) would be more comfortable in a 20″ although she still can use this chair.We went to the show last week and the chair folded fine and unfolded without a hitch. The seat wasn’t the most comfortable. I am going to buy a pad for it for whoever uses it in the future. Pushing the chair was easy and I was quickly able to use it myself although I never have been wheelchair bound. It rolls smoothly especially inside. The brakes work and kept the chair from moving. I don’t think they would be strong enough to keep it from rolling down a steep hill or in a similar situation but they were fine for keeping the chair in place on a flat surface or small incline.During the middle of the show, one of the footrests flew to the side. It got wiggly and hard to manage. I think this is more about how my husband attached the footrest than the chair itself. He didn’t have the tool – or any tool – to fix it so I had to deal with it. It would not have been problem even for someone completely wheelchair bound, just a small annoyance,When my husband pushed me uphill on cement to the parking garage, it jostled me around quite a lot and the wheels skipped a bit. Not much but he did notice as did I. The chair folded down with ease and fit fine in the back of the car.Since then, we have taken my sister to the lake using the chair. She has severe balance issues and numbness in her feet and legs. It was a godsend to have the chair. Again we did notice that, on gravely areas, the wheels tended to skip a bit. Otherwise, the only complaint was that the seat was a bit uncomfortable. That can be rectified. One thing about this chair that my sister mentioned was that the leg rests don’t move up or down. They are fixed in the down position so a short person’s feet may not reach or someone who wants or needs to elevate their legs, can’t.I have sat in lots of wheelchairs in the hospital and rented one a while back when I had a back issue. This one doesn’t feel like the hospital ones. They feel a lot sturdier but, at the same time, bulkier. This is good for maneuvering around and fitting into smaller spots. For at home use, I think this chair is fine. I am not sure that I would recommend it for someone who is wheelchair bound and needs to be in it all day and night. I think a better quality and slightly roomier one may be best. But for those who need a chair for an injury or issue and use it on as needed basis or inside where there is no tough turf, it is fine. It would have cost me $35 to rent a chair for the night. This chair was $95 to buy and have for good. There is no contest that buying was the best option.For the price point, I feel this chair is fine. It is well made and both my sister and I felt safe in it. I am going with 4 stars. It isn’t made for tough or gravely turf and I definitely would not perch it on a steep hill and trust the brakes but, in general, it is a great value if you don’t need the footrests to elevate.**** Pics are not attaching. I will try again in a few days.

Title: Wheel around with ease and comfort in a Drive wheelchair.
Review: This wheelchair is really a good buy…it is easy to use, lightweight but sturdy, and fits nicely in doorways and on ramps. It is easy to fold and easy to load in the car. Like all Drive medical equipment it is built to last and easy to store when recovery is finished.

Title: Smooth ride. Very good quality. Fits in car. Fast Shipping was 2 days !
Review: Was preassembled. The only thing that was needed to assemble was the feet pedals. There was a wrench included to tighten bolts/screws but all were tight not needed at setup. It rides very smooth. Is very good quality and very sturdy. Easy to get in and out. It is easy for the “Patient” to push them selves around. Brakes work well but they are really tight so it does take some strength to lock them. Very good price.I have seen alot more on Medical device websites. But shipping was faster . it isnt too heavy to get in and out of car. It can go in trunk or behind seat. We have a Hyundai Elantra 4 door online says is a compact car. The seat it is behind doesnt have to be pushed all the way up to the dash to fit it in either. If you need assistance there are Youtube videos that can show you how and the easiest way to get in. (The Videos have this exact wheelchair. )

Title: Fantastic chair, sides pivot out of the way to transfer to chair.
Review: Fantastic lightweight wheelchair. I broke my left ankle and have to wear a boot while I wait for the surgery (and after.). And I cannot put any weight on it. We used the chair the first time to go to the Orthopedist and it was just perfect. My husband dropped me off and went to park the car. I was able to push the wheels myself and go up to the receptionist and later he pushed me back to the examining room. The wheelchair came fully assembled except I think he just had to put on the foot rests. It folds up nice and easily to put in the car after he loads me. I have nothing but good to say about it so far. I am 5’8”, 149 lbs, so I can’t advise about it if you are bigger but it works great for me. One additional point: the sides pivot clear up out of the way so you can transfer to a better chair very easily.

Review: I’ve used 3 different wheel chairs during my 6 month stay in hospital and a loaner after discharge for couple months. This wheel chair exceeds all expectations. I love the easy side guards that swing back easily with a gentle movement of release lever. The wheel tires are very hard and roll easily. I weigh 300 pounds and there is no flexing of wheel chair over uneven terrain. the only thing missing is a cup holder and cell phone holder but that was an easy fix. There is a very useful pocket on the back of seat for carrying small goodies. And the best thing of all. It was a very reasonable price. Far less than the disabled equipment stores want that start at $1200 and climb up from there. Also folds up very easily for putting into trunk or back seat of your automobile.it weighs about 40 pounds which is a little heavy but manageable. I love the color options and I picked blue . Has an upbeat look to it . it is very well designed ergonomically. I needed a little wider because the common 18 inch feels a little too tight so I ordered the 20 inch and it’s perfect. Has enough room to slide a drink bottle beside your hip if needed.UPDATE: I’ve used this wheel chair for several months now. this is a great wheel chair. it has several features I really like , arm rests that can be moved up and away so easily, light weight, strong (I’m 335 pounds) so easy to fold up and stuff into the car trunk and transport. foot rest positioning is great and so easy to install and remove. There is only one down side which I resolved. ..The wheels were too close to side of chair so I got longer bolts and shimmed each side out one inch. I have big hands and I found they were getting pinched. I do not recommend to do this as it could jeopardize the safety features of this chair possibly. , but in my case it was a must do to make it useable for me. I see no issue for people with average size hands. Thank yo AMAZON for listing this chair on your site
