Title: Great purchase, sturdy, stable, easy to assemble and use
Review: Recently fractured my tibial plateau, was put in full metal leg brace from ankle to mid- thigh with no bend. Was told I could absolutely not put any weight on leg for 4-6 weeks. Tried using crutches and that was not working for me. Took a chance and ordered this chair, it was a God-sent. It’s easy to use on hard floors and carpet (takes a little more effort but not bad at all). Was assembled in less than 20 minutes with ease. Very sturdy and comfortable. I’m about 5’8, 215 pounds and it’s just the right size. Folds up easily for car travel and the breaks hold it very steady for getting in and out. Fits through all my standard doorways (bedroom and bathroom)and I can turn direction very easily. Am now confident I can follow doctor’s orders and keep the weight off my leg.

Title: Cost effective wheelchair for Mom
Review: The wheelchair is not as heavy duty as the ones at the hospital. It don't roll as easy as those either, it takes a bit of muscle to get it going. What I like about it is it folds down much smaller than those and it costs a lot less. I use it to get my 88 year old Mom to her appointments. I can get her in the chair in the parking lot, instead of going inside to get one of theirs, going back out to the car to collect Mom then the reverse when we are leaving. It is easy to fold up and throw in the back of my hatchback. I would not recommend this wheelchair for someone who needs one to get around 100% of the time. My mom gets around the house just fine with a walker. It would be very hard on both of us if she had to use the walker to go from the car into the clinic and all the way back to the doctor's office. It is built well enough to last a long time with our use case.

Title: EXCELLENT for the money if you are tiny
Review: The Wheelchair is well-made and was delivered in a couple of days. BUT it is heavy since it is not made of aluminum or other light materials instead of steel. Many complain about the seat width, but for me (over 6' tall), it was perfect. The seat depth, however, is much too short and the height of the seat would be perfect for someone under 5'5" tall. It is also ridiculously low, so if you are over 5' 3" forget about using the foot holders unless you want your knees around your chin.

Title: Lightweight, easy to fold and unfold. Easy to push.
Review: Perfect for taking mom on outings. Easy to fold, lift and put into my trunk. Easy to unfold and smooth wheels to push. Would maybe not work on wood chip trails or gravel… but we got this for outings around town on pavement. Mom is slender, so fit was not an issue. However, if the person using it is very large, the chair would be too narrow.

Title: Extremely good purchase!
Review: I bought this wheelchair as I recently had foot surgery and have to stay off it for several weeks. The wheelchair arrived the next day, was extremely inexpensive, works like a charm and is very well made and convenient to use. I got the small one and this worked very well in our house with narrow doorways. I only weigh 130 lbs but I feel safe pushing up from the locked wheelchair, at least at my weight. I’m so glad I bought this, at least for my short term use. I recommend using or buying a seat cushion as it is not comfortable for longer periods of time, but otherwise I’m completely satisfied.

Review: I bought this for my mom who has a hip joint issue causing her to be handicapped currently. It’s super convenient to take on the sidewalks and move inside the house alike. She loves the seat (it’s very comfortable) and the foot rest. We just discovered that the height is adjustable and that makes it even better because she’s tall so it was slightly uncomfortable at the default length. It’s on the heavier side to pick up and put in the car trunk etc. but the same weight is what makes it heavy duty. Easy to set up (didn’t even need to read the manual to get started). The only thing is that the front wheels are small so sometimes when the surface is uneven we have to go backwards and use the bigger wheel to cross the uneven roads. Hope they fix that for future iterations but we’re okay with it since I push the wheelchair. I don’t think it’s the best for someone going by themselves on the streets. It looks sleek and overall great thoughtful design - we love it, and so worth the price!

Review: Got this wheelchair for my elderly mom when visiting us and it's an excellent purchase!Pro: Price, Excellent construction, sturdy material and great quality of the arms padding. Really easy to drive when carrying a person AND to drive yourself. Easy to fold the chair to store or transport.Cons: Weight: 15Kg is a bit heavy for an elderly to lift it, but OK for a healthy adult. Seat size: the clearance (photo) is tight for an overweight person, but good for the average person. Comfort: nothing major, but consider adding a padding to the seat. An Ikea pillow fits perfectly there.

Review: An awesome product for the price point ! My father is a big man (around 240 lbs). This chair was amply sized and comfortable. It folds almost flat for transport, and the removable foot tests are an added feature. The product arrived early. Super easy to put together ( virtually no tools required). No issues so far.
