Lightweight, easy to use, lots of features,
Drive Wheelchair
I purchased this wheelchair not knowing it would fold together, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it did. You simply lift it up by the canvas seating pad and everything collapses. The leg rests also fold aside very easily and the armrests fold up and out of the way so you can slide onto your bed. I tested the maneuverability and it fits into narrow passages and doorways (even ones found in homes that were made in the 1950s). Turning, moving forward, and backwards takes some getting used to if you haven’t used a wheelchair. The controls are similar to that of a tracked vehicle in that you control turning and movement via the individual wheels. Or you can have someone just push you around. The wheelchair wasn’t very heavy for me, I could lift it around without any difficulty. The shipping was extremely fast and kudos to Amazon for the excellent service. I tried ordering a wheelchair via a medical supply store and they gave me the run around for well over a month. I ordered this chair from Amazon and it arrived within 2 days as guaranteed.
Unfortunately, the packaging wasn’t very sufficient. There wasn’t any packing material to protect the chair, and the box already fell apart by the time it arrived. The OEM should consider more robust protection.
Pros: Easy to use, lots of features, affordable
Cons: Packaging isn’t that great, it could use more protection and better box securements.
Overall: 5/5

|GREAT product, but BEWARE!! Way heavier!,
This wheelchair is wonderful. The quality was great, and we thought it would be much less ‘heavy duty’ because of the price. It rolls really easy. However, it weighs over 4o lbs. Check the Drive website and it will tell you the true weight of the wheelchair. If you are looking for a lightweight product, this is the same as other wheelchairs. It’s still a very nice product though!

|Simply Excelent,
My father suffered from a stroke so we had to rent a chair similar to this for $90 a month … imagine.
Bought this chair cause of the movable arm rests & price.
Its simply great , I dont think you can ask for anything more on a normal wheel chair, highly recommend it.
