Recommended September 14, 2008
I bought one of these chairs recently for my mom. It works just fine when going to the doctor's office, the mall, and anywhere with smooth floors. The seat is wide and lightly padded. The back is also lightly padded and folds down for compact storage. It's very easy to maneuver and is much more convenient than the typical 40 lb. wheelchair.
It's a little sticky when opening. What I do it pull it open halfway then sit on it to pop it open all the way. Closing it up is a lot easier; just pull up on the seat.
I had to adjust the brakes and footrests. The chair came with tools, but mine was missing one of the hex keys.
Shipping was fast although I was sent the wrong color.
My main reason for getting this is the light weight. The description says it's only 14.5 lbs., but that's without the footrests. It's more like 18 lbs. with the footrests.
If you're looking for something lightweight for light to medium use on smooth surfaces, this wheelchair will suit your needs.
If weight is not a major consideration or if you'll be using it often on bumpy surfaces, get the Lightweight Transport Wheelchair/wheel Chair 12" Wheels. I had a chance to test drive this version. It weighs 10 lbs. more but is easier to use on sidewalks and rougher terrain. It also has hand brakes, a nice feature when going downhill. The price difference is minimal.

I'm delighted with my new wheelchair. It will give me more freedom outdoors and allow me to keep up with my friends and family. My wife and I especially like that it is lightweight and easy to handle.
Thanks so much.

I purchased this wheelchair at Amazon.com. It is a very good wheelchair for families with non-ambulatory members. Having used it for about one month and a half, I have found the following good features: Excellent design; Light-weight and portable; Comfortable with wide and deep seating space, foot-rest, and even a cup-holder; Easy-to-move, stop and lock; Strong and reliable up to 300 LB for both indoors and outdoors uses. Also, it's affordable and lasting forever. I recommend this wheelchair to all who are looking for a decent, reliable and affordable wheelchair.

This chair is a huge space saver and so easy to lift in and out of the car. We go it for our mom to save space in the car for our vacation. It made our trip much more enjoyable without fighting a heavy chair and having enough space for everyone's suit cases. It is the only way to go.

This is a wonderful chair, has saved us a lot of time looking for something that we realy needed.
Shipment was fast. The only thing was, we ordered a burgandy chair and received a blue, which was just fine.
I wish to thank the company, it was just what we needed.
