Medline Lightweight Wheelchair for Adults With Swing-Back, Desk-Length Arms, Elevating Leg Rests; 18W" x 16"D Seat

Great, light wheelchair. We only have a need for one for 6-8 weeks but buying was less expensive than renting. Relatively light at about 22 lbs and I have no problems loading into and out of our forester. Easy to expand for use or fold for storage. Two leg supports that are easy to install or remove. Seems to be well made but we have only had it for 3 weeks. Recommend a seat cushion to go with it if you anticipate extended use. It comes fully assembled so just unbox and it is ready for use.

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 Amazon 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.

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.

Update! At first I thought the brakes didn’t work, but figured out they were just REALLY stiff. Use all of your oomph and don’t be afraid if you think the brake will slice right through the tire — it’s all good! Brakes are super tight, but they work great. Otherwise: nice chair, relatively light, comfortable enough. Good value for money

Very stable, rolls well and comfortable. Easy to manuever with a pasenger. Folds easily.

I bought this for my father who is in an assisted living facility. This is lightweight, but it’s very sturdy and it’s easy for him to maneuver and roll himself. It’s very light in compact to where if a family member wanted to take him somewhere that even my sister Could load it up in the back of her SUV and take him somewhere.

We needed a wheelchair with leg supports. This does it.ProsThe price is reasonable.Easy to collapse for storage.Leg supports are easily removed.Lighter than other wheelchairs.ConsAlthough most of the frame is aluminum, part is steel. I still has some heft.The leg supports do not go down to vertical, But if removed, it is close to the function.I still recommend this. I am satisfied.

This wheelchair checks a lot of boxes - good welding on the structure, reasonably lightweight, clever attachment mechanism for the main wheels, easily collapsible for transport, comfortable seating, good adjustability on the leg supports..........BUT it comes with ONE FATAL FLAW: these utterly STUPID smooth, hard-plastic main wheels, that make it virtually impossible for the rider to move about on a carpeted surface, or even a smooth hard surface - like tile.The main wheels just slip - no traction at all, despite the weight of the user. Tried it with a 130 pound person, then with a 230 pound person. Same results..(The dimwit that dreamed up those smooth wheels should be confined to one of these chairs for a week or so, in order to realize the absurdity of the "design".)That "feature" makes this chair utterly useless.Anyhow, I was about to return it, but after searching through other options, discovered that most of the other offerings also have the same STUPID SMOOTH WHEELS.Then I discovered a set of replacement wheels WITH TREAD, ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9GSGH2S?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1 ) so before returning the chair, I decided to try those.They fit, but are just a bit larger diameter than the originals, which jammed into the brakes on both sides. That required removal and modification of both brake mechanisms to allow them to release from the wheels.After replacing the main wheels with treaded versions plus the required mods to make them work, the chair is now useful.But it is very annoying to have to spend an additional $100 for useful wheels, and an hour of additional work to make the treaded wheels work right.
