Review: Wonderful Wheelchair for My Wife - My wife has lung cancer and COPD. She can walk but requires oxygen and walking anywhere makes her completely winded. This wheelchair is fantastic. We have had it for a couple of months now and for the frequent doctor's appointments it has made both of our lives so much better. It is light and easy to wheel her around yet is made very well. I have a small SUV and it collapses easily and fits into the back with no problem at all. It is not too heavy to lift in either. My wife is only 5'4" and weighs about 120 lbs. but the 16" wide chair is perfectly comfortable for her and it fits through doorways without any problem at all. In fact, I sat in it and it is very comfortable for me (and I am 6' tall and weigh about 225 lbs.) It maneuvers well when there is not a lot of room and when I take her out, she has to have oxygen so I have to coordinate her and the carriage for the oxygen. This wheelchair allows me to coordinate both with no problem. It came basically assembled and is very easy to open and fold down for putting in the car. The feet rests are easily detachable and adjust very easily. The best thing was the price. I wasn't sure that for this reasonable price, it would be made that well or stand up to extended usage but so far it is perfect. I could have spent a lot more on another wheelchair with a few more fancy features, but for something that really works well and is reasonably priced, I am extremely happy with our purchase and how well it works for us.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How heavy of a person does it support?**
A: Hello I believe it is 300 Lbs, I weigh 200 Lbs & it is fine. Be concerned about ordering the correct width for your use, to narrow 16 inches and it may be to small, 20 inches and above & you may have trouble with Halls & doorway's.

**Q: What is the total width of this wheelchair, including the seat, frame, and wheels? I have narrow doorways at home. Thanks!**
A: Depending on the width of the seat. 16" seat will be 24" wide in total18" seat will be 26" wide in total20" seat will be 28" wide in total

**Q: Looking for a lightweight chair that i can lift in and out of my car for my Mom - does anyone know the weight of the chair?**
A: I purchased this for my mom as well.  It weighs 36 pounds or so.  Once I figured out how to 'grab' it so I wasn't holding a wheel (which would then spin), it is pretty easy to lift in and our of car.  Very easy to fold and unfold, and it rolls very smoothly.

**Q: We have a 28" door going into our bathroom.  Will this wheelchair fit through the door?**
A: We have a 25 inch door going into our bathroom and I am sorry to say that my chair will not fit through the door.  So I really am not sure about a 28 inch door.  I think it would be a pretty tight fit if you could do it.

*by A***R on January 6, 2026*

Got this for daughter who has terrible neuropathy to help husband get her to. And from doctors easier and not have to rely on when chairs at offices. Folds up to go in car. Being able to keep her legs elevated while in wheelchair has been a huge blessing
