I like this!
Really nice product! my husband is 6'2 and it works fine for him. Wish the legs extended a little longer because he had a ankle replacement but, it works fine, going through doorways. Great height, great for the price. Very sturdy and pretty lightweight to lift in the car and I'm a woman not used to lifting much.

Overall good but not the version I ordered.
Everything is mostly identical except the elevating leg rests did not have the push in snap pin system for extending the leg length as shown in the ad image. The version we got was a black pipe (not silver) fitted inside the blue one and you have to loosen a bolt and pull the footrest part out then re-tighten the bolt back in place. It makes the version we got harder to adjust and the black pipe could stand to be a bit longer for longer legged people who need to elevate their legs. The box was beat up to all hell, but the chair was otherwise in new condition minus a few loose bolts that had to be tightened. The "drive" stickers that were placed on the outer sides of the thin plastic armrest panels were peeling off (curling away from the plastic) which was fine I just took them off and tossed them. One of the elevating leg rests didn't want to go back down because the bolt was somewhat loose, which caused the bar to stay extended and the lever couldn't be pushed to get the mechanism to release. Thankfully loosening the bolt more made it so we could get the mechanism to unlock, push the leg back down in place and tighten the end bolt back in place. Otherwise it is exactly as ordered, funnily enough the item was ordered from home depot, as there was an invoice slip on the box. Had I known that home depot had these I would have ordered directly from them. Initially I placed an order from amazon and it was to be shipped from amazon directly and was cheaper but there was no shipping date. I called after 2 days of not having a shipping date to ask about the shipping as we needed the chair quickly. after speaking with a csr i was told I would hear something about the shipping in 48 hours. The next day I went to check on it and found the order had been canceled with no notice no reason nothing. This was the 20 inch one we ordered and there were no other quick options so after getting frustrated after talking with another csr who was not able to help me get it reordered from amazon and give me a date for arrival, I reordered on my own and chose the other shipper and paid 40 bucks more plus paid for shipping etc. it was a nightmare process and took over a week to get in addition to the 3 days of dealing with amazon. I am only adding the shipping info for others in case another family / person needs a chair in a hurry so you'll be aware of what we went through. It seems like a very sturdy chair and everything else was perfect, we only just got it so I'll give it a while and add to my review once we see how well it does for us. Overall I have faith in the drive brand, a bit frustrated by the difference in the elevating leg rests and the not quite long enough bar for the footrests when the legs are fully raised, but we can work around that. Otherwise I think it'll do us fine. Its a bit clunky and heavy for me I'm 4'10 so when I have to lift it into my truck for use in getting my Dad to his doctors it will be a momentary issue but I think considering what it does, how it is made, the ease of moving the parts, it'll likely do us fine. One thing to mention is that the armrest release is just a piece of plastic. I can see how long term that might prove to be annoying if someone moves those armrests a lot that thin piece of plastic won't likely last a long time or will wear down over time. ** Update Aug 2023 The chair was working well for us, Dad doesn't use it often due to his doing better, but it is very helpful for when he has to go long distances, or needs to have a seat anywhere we go if he gets tired. However, somehow on one use, a super tiny clip that held one of the leg rests together disappeared. I suspect from moving the chair and rests to and from the truck. I called Drive directly, and they sent us 2 brand new leg rests free of charge. I was grateful because that tiny little thin metal clip held the whole dang thing together and I was using electrical tape to hold it together but that made it's use much more difficult. I am SO totally impressed with Drive Medical for sending the free pair of leg replacements, they were caring, wanted to know what model it was for future chair updates and got me a new set of leg rests within 3 days. I'm updating my review from 4 stars to 5, their customer service was amazing and the new set of leg rests were also the type I had originally ordered with the push button adjustments, so that makes me very happy. I can't say enough good things about Drive after this experience, the man I spoke with was just amazing.

Satisfied.
This thing is a Cadillac compared to what I was having to use before purchasing this. I havent had any issues with it and it is very comfortable. Can not beat it for the price!

Decent for the cost
My wife had foot surgery so is temporary unable to walk. The chair has been a life saver. Rolls smooth, lightweight and easy to fold. She finds it pretty comfortable except for a few flaws. The first it the leg pads. They do not sit flat once the weight of your leg is on them so your leg tends to want to roll off. There is no way to adjust this. The second is person dependent. She has long legs and found the length adjustment to be too short even when 100% extended. I do realize this limit exists so they don't hit the ground. Overall its a good product especially at this price point. I think the leg pad issue could be addressed with stronger material or ability to adjust.

The Handles going up is a game changer!
Wheelchair is everything i expected and more. I love the way the handles go up so it's easier to transfer from chair to car, or couch, bed etc etc. I also like how easy it is to fold up and put into the trunk of my sedan. The one thing that I'd like to bring to the attention to future buyers is that the breaks are really hard to set the first few times around, it gets easier as time goes by, however it brings a sense of security, knowing that the wheel chair is not going anywhere. This wheel chair is sturdy and worth every penny. The blue color is a nice touch too. All you will need from there is a nice comfy cushion. Ease of assembly: Depends on your experience building stuff, for me it was easy. Sturdiness: It's real sturdy Storage capacity: It folds easily Quality: Great quality Safety: Great

Good for short term use
My son broke his leg. We needed something safe for school until he could use his crutches safely. Pros: Easy to transport, nice blue color, has leg/foot supports, price Cons: good for short term use. However, just using at school and nowhere else both leg supports ended up breaking and the seat began to fray and rip.

Excellent wheelchair. My only gripe is the leg rests can't go all the way down. This makes navigating difficult in certain situations.

This wheelchair has been nothing but awesome. I was in an accident which caused me to not be able to put any weight on my legs for an extensive time. Being stuck in one spot wasn't an option for me. I bought this chair without hesitation and highly recommend it. I'm sure any wheelchair would have been a game changer but I have no complaints about this one.

It has good features it vlaims to have - seing bakc armrest, light weight, elevated legrest. I have one ptoblem, it's narrower than normal wheelchair. The seat size is 18 X 16 as described, but the total space is smaller, making it difficult to put on coat for my mom when she sits on the wheelchair. A piece of advise: if your regular wheelchair is 18 X 16, buy a 20 inch of this mkdel.
