Free to Be Lightweight Aluminium Folding Wheelchair Self Propelled

I am so pleased I got this model. I am 47 but suffer from fibromyalgia so some days I am Unable to walk very far. My upper body strength is good and I can manage to self propel around supermarkets and other flattish areas. My daughter has pushed me in it and she is 5’6” and found the height of the handles great. She also liked the attendant brakes! It folds very easily and goes in the car and reassembles quickly too. It’s comfy enough and the seat pad isn’t a bonus. I have nothing negative to say and for the prices this is a great wheelchair

Bought this for my wife while she physically recovers from intensive chemo for leukaemia. Light enough for her to push and use as a walking aid and then when she tires she gets in and I push. Breaks down easily enough for transportation and folds for easy storage. Great chair for around half the price of like for like chairs I found in local mobility shops. In case you're wondering, there's no assembly required.

After an accident, this wheelchair became a God Send .... Excellent value with fast dispatch and delivery. It's well made with great brakes and comfortable padded chair.

Due to a series of medical emergencies over the last year I found myself in urgent need of a wheelchair as I am now unable to walk more than a few steps. Now I never expected to be in this position so basically I never knew anything about wheelchairs, in fact I never even thought about them as I never thought that I would need one ! Due to this lack of knowledge I jumped in and made a purchase of one and I soon found out that it was extremely uncomfortable and caused me great pain to be in it so I was back to square one and looking for a replacement but this time around I had experienced being in a wheelchair and knew more about them after doing some research into them . After reaching for a better more comfortable and ultimately more suitable wheelchair I came across this one and on paper it certainly met all my needs so I made the purchase and eagerly awaited it’s delivery dare I say with some excitement ( unless you need a wheelchair you might not understand the excitement point but when it is your only means of getting about you will !) Well I didn’t have to wait long and in a couple of days Amazon made the delivery in a a nice large box . The box was large due to the fact that the wheelchair is practically fully assembled all that you have to do is attach the foot rests which are quick release anyway. Once set up and the cushions had been put into place it was time for a tryout and with some trepidation I eased myself into the wheelchair and it was a pure delight it was that comfortable. Another plus point here was that the wife said that it was so much easier to push that my previous one and the brakes on the handle bars were much better design feature that gave her additional confidence. Here are my pros and cons on this wheelchair : PROS : Easy to set up and fold up as the mechanism is spring loaded. Seat and back cushions make this a very comfortable wheelchair Fold down handles to aid transportation in you car Brakes on the push handles Height adjustable leg rests....very important feature that is not mentioned within the description The wheelchair feels strong and robust. Easy to push and manoeuvre. Lightweight CONS: The footrest plates are made of plastic and don’t feel that strong if these were replaced with aluminium ones it would be so much better. Please don’t let the cons put you off of this item as the plastic foot plates are fine for the task in hand but it could be improved upon. All in all this has been an excellent upgrade for me personally and I am delighted with this wheelchair and as such I have no hesitation in recommending it as it is so comfortable and meets my needs and demands perfectly. Whilst I fully understand that everyone’s needs and requirements are different I consider the to be a great all rounder that will suit many a persons needs. My only regret is not finding the one first as it would have saved me a lot of money and discomfort.

The handles used to push the chair collapsed with the slightest pressure. You could not mount a tiny kerb without the push handles folding down. Even going down a very small incline (I live in the fens, we dont have hills! ) the handles collapsed trying to hold the chair back. My wife is far from being too large for the chair so that isn't a factor. I returned the chair the same day and it was collected the day after it was delivered and 2 weeks later, despite it being received I have not had a refund or any communication from the supplier. Sad to say this company is best to be avoided.

Bought this for my elderly mother who has some mobility issues. I didn't know what to expect but this chair fulfilled my expectations. It is easy to assemble - just add the two footplates. One of the footplates needed adjusting to align it correctly but a useful spanner was included to enable me to do that. The chair folds down nicely to enable it to sit upright in the rear of my wife's Fiat Punto and the only thing to remember is to take the seat cushion and back cushion if the chair has been folded. The chair is highly manoeuvreable and has been tested by my wife and myself up and down our hallway! Pushing it is easy but I have not tried any steep gradients yet and the brakes work well. Highly recommended.

This wheelchair has everything and is excellent value for money . I particularly like the spring loaded unfold/folding mechanism which is very easy to use . In addition it comes with a Velcro attachable seat cushion and back rest padding. It has attendant parking brakes as well as user brakes , is lightweight and comes in a smart silver finish. If you make sure that the seat width and carrying capacity are suitable YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

This chair arrived in a very sturdy box. Once removed it was extremely easy to work out how the foot rests fit and to how the chair folds and unfolds. The chair weighs in at 18kg so is not too heavy to put into the car. Really easy to manover. Really good quality chair, very pleased with my purchase
