Great for travel, awful in the house!
This is a good, lightweight power wheelchair that’s easy to collapse to go in the car and great for distance transportation (mall, walks, museums) but NOT for use around the house. The seat has no padding so not comfortable for long term sitting. You have to use BOTH hands to drive and maneuver so don’t have one free to “do things” or carry things, like you can with a power chair with one arm control. There’s a loud beeper when you back up that’s very obnoxious and certainly not needed in the house and probably not otherwise. Also, there are levers on each side to pull up/down to brake and they are NOT easy to pull up and down so if you have any weakness in your arms or hands, forget it! So: this is great for transportation and great it can collapse easily and lightweight to put in the car. But I’m a big “no” for a disabled person using it around the house and for independent travel. I bought it for use in the house and it was an expensive mistake. A regular wheelchair is better, if you have use of your arms and hands for around the house.
