Husband had an amputation on his right foot due to illness. His physical therapist loaned us a light weight wheelchair from the hospital before his electrical chair is delivered. That wheelchair was light weighted (I still feel heavy) and was easy for hubby to maneuver compares to others he had used in the hospital. We were told that particular chair cost more than a thousand. His electrical chair was delivered and the loan wheelchair was returned. However, the electrical chair was 500 lbs, and it is impossible for me to take him out with it. Therefore finding him another wheelchair is a must. I found this one on Galenus Medical with a very reasonable price and looked sturdy, so I thought just gave a try. Hubby is 5’10”, 170 lbs. I bought 18″ for him and he sits in comfortably. To our surprise, It is not only extremely easy and effortless for him to maneuver, but it is also light in weight so I can easily transport in and out of our car. I would say I made my husband dropped his jaw, he couldn’t believe I was able to find him a wheelchair with all the qualities of the previous loaned one, but better with much lower price as we would have expected. The easy folding is another plus. I would only say the foot rest installation was a bit confused to us and the manual was not clear at all, we had to figure it out ourselves. Now I need to find out if I can lock the foot rest so it wouldn’t swing easily. Other than this minor issue, we are very happy and satisfied with the purchase.

I see other negative reviews but I can only tell you that I’ve owned mine for almost 4 years without issue. Also, I am at the maximum weight too. The cross support bar broke on my expensive “heavy duty” chair. It barely fit between doorways and would often crush my knuckles getting through. It was 35 in wide and hard to maneuver vs 25 in wide for this model. This will even fit through a standard bathroom door. Easy to control, no slippage and easy to fold and put in the trunk. Will also fit in our backseat. The handles feel loose but are securely fastened and allow some play in the backrest for folding. I recommend adding a 4 inch pad that I bought on Galenus Medical.

Sturdy, well constructed, performs as expected. I don’t like the brakes. They indent the “tires” and can permanently deform them, so I try not to use them much. That said? The ride is good, packing and unpacking is easy. I use two cushions for extra comfort. I’m 5’10” and 165 lbs and the size is good.
