Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the wheelchair. Some mention it's well-made and comfortable to sit in, while others say that the rubber starts to fall apart and the plastic is prone to cracking. It is not a rigid body chair, and the re-installation of the leg rests is clunky. One of the tabs broke, so the seat slides to the right, pressing into the thin.

846 customers mention559 positive287 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the wheelchair. Some mention that it's perfect for their size, and can fit into smaller spots. However, others say that the seat is extremely tight fitting and takes some serious muscle. The brakes were set too tight out of the box, and the front wheels are small enough that they slip into cracks a little. It jostles, it bumps, and is too wide to go through normal sized doors.

"...It made a huge difference with so much more room to maneuver!! I was so happy to be mobile after breaking my foot and out of the house...." Read more

"...It is fairly narrow so easy to navigate, and I am able to move around well and then park where I need to stand and do something...." Read more

"...is adjustable, but even on the most extended setting, it’s not quite long enough for me to keep the footrest in place…I have to fold back the foot..." Read more

"...This chair was perfect for use inside our home and to take places. It fit through our interior and exterior doorways...." Read more

Super easy to assemble and durable

Super easy to assemble and durable
I’m having ankle surgery and I’m going to need something to get me around for eight weeks and renting a wheelchair is approximately $200 a month. So I believe a faith, and I purchased the blue streak. I am a single woman almost 60 and I’m not very handy when it comes to assembling things.But that’s the deal. I didn’t have to use any tools here it slid right out of the box and the first picture is what it looks like the moment I took it out of the box. It literally just folded down. Then I had to add legs and even though they gave you a bit of a wrench with it I didn’t have to do anything I just put them on. I’ve been wheeling around the house and I love it I highly recommend.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for the money
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2023
I broke my leg last week, and the wheelchair belonging to our family was designed for my super short mom and was large and cumbersome. I landed on this Drive model, and it works so very well!

The size is perfect, allowing for easy movement through my 36” doorways. It would be easy enough even with 32” doors, I think, but I’m not great at steering just yet. The 16” seat on this one works well for me, size 10-12 in clothing and a bit larger in the hip and thigh. Sometimes the wheel rubs against the plastic side panel due to my girth, but a readjustment solves the problem. I wish the plastic panel was a little more firm, but it works for me…a person with larger hips and thighs might want to consider the 18” or 20” model.

It has a very solid build and rolls smoothly. I got a small hanging bag to hold my phone and other needs, but it interferes with the wheel and handholds…I have a clip-on stroller/wheelchair cup and phone holder on the way today, which I think will be a much better option. I can’t yet speak to longevity, but we have a smaller Drive model chair (on four small wheels) that has endured a lot of family use, including a trip to Disney World with my daughter and her broken toe, that is still going strong and getting passed around the fam. I feel very good about the brand, and I think this chair will be another one that gets lots of use in the future.

Upon delivery, the chair is fully assembled, other than the leg rests which are easy to install with no tools necessary. The chair arrived without the elevated leg rests, unfortunately, so I immediately went to the link on the product page to ask about getting them sent. I was assured they would ship in 2-4 days, but two days later, they were on the porch via FedEx. EXCELLENT customer service, there. The calf rest is not adjustable, but it’s perfectly comfortable for me, 5’4” tall with average length legs. The length is adjustable, but even on the most extended setting, it’s not quite long enough for me to keep the footrest in place…I have to fold back the foot rest to use it in elevated position, as I am not supposed to have any pressure on the leg for quite a few weeks to come. The foot rests will be perfect when I can finally bend my knee and lower the legs, so this shortcoming doesn’t really matter to me. (Pics show only one leg rest attached, but there are two.)

This is an all-around solid choice, and it’s just so affordable that any detractions are just not important enough to worry about. I am thrilled with this chair, and grateful to have something to allow me some mobility.
