I broke my leg and was looking at nearly two months on crutches. After the first week I was frustrated at all the things I couldn't do because I needed both hands for the crutches, plus I was sore all over and my broken leg would swell from dangling down. This simply was NOT going to work for a month and a half! So I checked the cost of renting a small wheelchair but the price of renting would have been at least as much as buying this chair. I did shop around and look at numerous chairs from numerous places, comparing all the features and prices along with reviews for the chair AND the store. Of course I know Amazon is totally trustworthy so that was a good start, and I chose this particular chair because of the elevating leg rests along with the full sized rear wheels. I can now keep my broken leg elevated to reduce swelling and discomfort, and am able to wheel myself around with very little effort.

The chair arrived fully assembled except that the leg rests were not attached. When my husband pulled it out of the box he thought it was a full sized wheelchair and would not fit through most doorways in our home. I had checked the sizes of chairs as well and thought perhaps the dimensions I'd read were incorrect. But this chair does indeed fit through the doorways; it's not as big as it looks! However, I am not a petite person, and do fit in the chair very comfortably.

Elevating and lowering the leg rest is too easy. When I need to put it down to turn through a tight spot I simply press a lever at the top of the leg rest. To raise it again I just lift the leg rest to the level where I want it and it locks in place automatically.

I removed the other leg rest as I use my 'good' foot to steer or move a little this way or that, and removing or replacing the leg rests is very easy also. There is a small locking bar that you pull to the side and just lift the leg rest off. Replacing it is just as easy: Put the 2 holes down on the 2 pegs and close the locking bar.

The legs extend and contract the same way you would lengthen crutches. Push the little buttons in, slide to desired length, and lock by lining buttons up with holes at that point. I don't use the plastic foot rest because all I really need is the nice padded leg rest that keeps my leg comfortably elevated, so it's nice that the foot rest can be turned and folded out of the way.

The chair itself rolls and turns very easily and I'm glad I got one with the large wheels in back. I think I would have soon tired of scooting with one foot if I'd chosen a chair that only had the four small wheels. And this chair has the hand bar outside of the big wheels so you can propel yourself by hand without ever touching the dirty wheels.

There are rear wheel locks at the front on both sides which are very easy to operate. I push the levers forward to lock the wheels when I need to stand on one foot to reach something, and my chair is safely under me and immobile when I sit back down. I flip the levers back toward me and I'm free-wheeling once again.

Folding and opening the chair is a snap. You simply squeeze it together and pull it back apart. No troublesome locks or levers to mess with. It's also rather light weight so it's easy to move or load into your vehicle.

The arm rests are at a perfect height and nicely padded. The seat and back rest are padded also. This chair is VERY comfortable!!

I did a great deal of research before deciding to purchase this particular chair, and of all the chairs I looked at, this one had all the best features as well as an amazing price. I ordered the chair on July 30th and received it on August 5th with Free Shipping from Amazon. The price has gone up about $25 since then so I'm glad I bought it when I did, but it's still an excellent price for this wonderful chair!

If you have need of a wheel chair, whether it's temporary or long-term, you won't find a better chair than this one. It will serve all your needs, comfortably and conveniently, without emptying your wallet. So don't suffer with crutches. Just get this chair and make your life a lot easier! You will NOT be sorry!

I purchased this wheelchair for my mother who recently had a stroke. The chair is very well built and sturdy. My mother says that it is very comfortable and easy to adjust. The shipping was on time and efficient.

Self transport heavy duty folding wheelchair. Excellent and just what I wanted at a very reasonable price. Nothing like it on the market at this reasonable price.

I had a severe accident and couldn't walk for two months at least. To rent a wheelchair was 75 per week. I found this one and it was much better. It had the elevating legs and is very sturdy. I am glad I found it.

I ordered this wheelchair right after my husband fell and had an extremely serious foot injury and was not able to do any weight bearing for about 3 months. I was very impressed with the quality for the price. And delivery was so fast! Would unconditionally recommend this item. You won't be disappointed.

This is a very nice wheelchair EXCEPT for the tires.Wheelchair arrived assembled but tires were off rims. We took chair to a bike shop where tires were applied to rims. Approximately, a week later a tire came off rim while chair in use and again had to be replaced. A second and more annoying problem with the tires is the black marks left on flooring everywhere the chair is used. The problem is the tires as the chair is only used in the house. Marks are on all types of surfaces,i.e linoleum, tile, carpet .

After doing extensive 'wheelchair' research when I decided to purchase my mother-in-law her own wheelchair, I decided on this one because of the features and the price. I wanted very good quality as well as elevating leg rests since my M-I-L deals with swelling in her ankles/feet. I placed my order last Thursday and the chair was delivered today - only two business days later! The chair is practically ready to use right out of the shipping carton. I only had to add the handles used to push the wheelchair and the elevating leg rests which are great! The chair is definitely a higher quality than the one supplied by the nursing home where my mother-in-law is currently having physical therapy for her recently broken hip. I'm still amazed at the incredibly low price and blown away by the speedy service! If this chair has the features and size you're looking for, go for it! You definitely won't be disappointed.

This wheelchair has all the features you need, adjustable legrests, both length adjustable and elevation adjustable, legs swing away & come off easily, arms go on and off easily, foot things to step on in the back to lift the front of the chair over bumps, door threshholds etc. The chair is light. It folds up easily to put it aside. The metal part is sort of dark gunmetal color, fashionable for a wheelchair. The price you cannot beat, it is less paying cash than it would be on medicare paying just the co-pay. Box arrived damaged but the inside packing was very good and no harm came to the chair. I have a 90 lb person in the chair and so there is lots of room for the oxygen tank, her shopping bag she must always have with her, an afghan. Eva Medical deserves lauds for this excellent chair at this price.

I broke my ankle and I needed something besides crutches. My doctor wrote me a prescription for a wheelchair, but,by the time I would have paid rental fees for 3 months it was easier to buy my own. This wheelchair is well made. It fits thru my doorways since it is smaller than another kind of wheelchair. It is for persons that are not real large, just the weight limit under the 250 lbs shown on the product. It is lightweight, and the leg extensions are good for me. I am only 5'4 so it works for me. I believe someone too tall would not work as well. It has a 5 yr warranty on it and I have a leg extension with a crack in the plastic. The company has been real helpful in replacing it.

Getting around my house it this has saved me a lot of wear and tear on my body. Of course, we all know either way crutches or a wheelchair is hard for any age.

I am happy with this product.

I recieved my chain in ONLY 4 days. It's light enough I can fold it and move it by myself. The chair is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!
