Drive Medical Blue Streak Lightweight Wheelchair with Swing-Away Footrests and Flip-Back Arms, Portable Folding Wheelchair for Adults and Seniors, 18 Inch Seat

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 sturdyStorage capacity:It folds easilyQuality:Great qualitySafety:Great

My wife has a debilitating disease and finds it difficult to walk. I was a little leery about buying this wheelchair because, I assumed, the price might imply low quality. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The chair was easy to assemble and the color and look is great. After a month of use, it heeded a little spritz with lubricant, but that was all that was needed. It rolls like a dream and is very comfortable my wife tells me. The movable footrests is a great feature, which makes getting in and out of the chair easier.

Arm rests are removable which makes it easier for me to push. Pretty comfy and enough support for my back. I like that its sturdy and folds nicely while being able to store it. Good quality for the price and nice color.

Inexpensive. Works well. Price is right. A good choice.

Ordered and received the very next day. Came in pristine condition. After opening 1 side of the box, it easily came out wrapped in plastic. All I had to do was take off protective wrap in a few areas and easily attach the foot pieces; no need to even use the included wrench. Rolls very easily and handles well going forward, backward and rotating. It has a nice sturdy feel to it; not cheap made. I'm very impressed, hopefully, it will perform well at least a few years. My husband is very bad with walking, using walker and 2 canes; not sure what the future will bring, so purchased this with anticipation of future need. Ordered a memory foam pad which will come another day.

I broke my leg last week, and the wheelchair belonging to our family was designed for my super short mom and was large and cumbersome. I landed on this Drive model, and it works so very well!The size is perfect, allowing for easy movement through my 36” doorways. It would be easy enough even with 32” doors, I think, but I’m not great at steering just yet. The 16” seat on this one works well for me, size 10-12 in clothing and a bit larger in the hip and thigh. Sometimes the wheel rubs against the plastic side panel due to my girth, but a readjustment solves the problem. I wish the plastic panel was a little more firm, but it works for me…a person with larger hips and thighs might want to consider the 18” or 20” model.It has a very solid build and rolls smoothly. I got a small hanging bag to hold my phone and other needs, but it interferes with the wheel and handholds…I have a clip-on stroller/wheelchair cup and phone holder on the way today, which I think will be a much better option. I can’t yet speak to longevity, but we have a smaller Drive model chair (on four small wheels) that has endured a lot of family use, including a trip to Disney World with my daughter and her broken toe, that is still going strong and getting passed around the fam. I feel very good about the brand, and I think this chair will be another one that gets lots of use in the future.Upon delivery, the chair is fully assembled, other than the leg rests which are easy to install with no tools necessary. The chair arrived without the elevated leg rests, unfortunately, so I immediately went to the link on the product page to ask about getting them sent. I was assured they would ship in 2-4 days, but two days later, they were on the porch via FedEx. EXCELLENT customer service, there. The calf rest is not adjustable, but it’s perfectly comfortable for me, 5’4” tall with average length legs. The length is adjustable, but even on the most extended setting, it’s not quite long enough for me to keep the footrest in place…I have to fold back the foot rest to use it in elevated position, as I am not supposed to have any pressure on the leg for quite a few weeks to come. The foot rests will be perfect when I can finally bend my knee and lower the legs, so this shortcoming doesn’t really matter to me. (Pics show only one leg rest attached, but there are two.)This is an all-around solid choice, and it’s just so affordable that any detractions are just not important enough to worry about. I am thrilled with this chair, and grateful to have something to allow me some mobility.

I was dreading my upcoming meniscus root tear surgery ...was worrying how I would get around for 6 weeks of non weight bearing on one leg....got my wheelchair today and am so happy and actually looking forward to my healing process. This chair is WELL MADE, STURDY, EASY TO USE. Glides and maneuvers effortlessly! Can't believe how little I paid for a great product! Highly recommend for a small house or apartmentAlso folds easily

Absolutely LOVE this wheelchair!! My mother suffers from edema in her legs and really needs to keep them elevated to reduce swelling. This chair now makes that possible and she is SO much more comfortable now when we go out for longer periods of time. My only caviat is that she is short! 4'8" to be exact. And the legs fit her perfectly. I cannot imagine how they would work for someone of average height. Even on the longest extension, they don't offer much more room. So I can only recommend this chair for someone who is short. But I truly love everything about it!! It steers so easily, is lightweight to lift in and out of my van, and folds and unfolds SO easily (especially compared to her last chair which was stiff and hard to move). She says it's comfortable, and the price can't be beat! So glad we made this purchase.
