5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and lightweight

S.C. · 16 May 2022

I bought this for my father who struggles walking more than 30 or 40 metres as we were going on a cruise. So I was looking for a lightweight, compact and simple to collapse and expand.This really didn't disappoint. No set up required and can be opened up or closed in a matter of seconds. Lightweight at around the 10kg mark and surprisingly robust.The seat although unpadded is pretty comfortable, so I would suggest not bothering with an additional seat pad until you have tried it.The only downside is that this may not be brilliant for rough or uneven surfaces due to the small rigid wheels, but I think this us a trade off for the light weight and compact folded dimensions. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A handy second wheelchair

T.L. · 1 August 2022

Great little wheelchair that is easy to fold and ideal for the boot of the car. Not as stable as a large rear wheeled chair but if your user is pretty lightweight it is comfortable even with the small wheels. Comes with a great little carry bag and I can fit it in the boot of my cabriolet with the roof down something that is not possible with the other wheelchair I have. All in all perfect for a day out if you don’t intend to be pushed too far. Would recommend as a second chair or if the user is somewhat mobile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent purchase

The mother-in-law (MIL), having recently broken her leg rather badly, is currently staying with us. She was discharged from hospital with crutches and a zimmer frame but whilst she can get around ok in the house and the immediate surrounds it is laborious and exhausting for her over longer distances - and to be honest she has the the balance of a squiffy giraffe. We pretty quickly realised that we were going to need something a bit more practical for trips to the shops etc, hence the purchase.We are really pleased with it. It was really easy to set it up and fold it down and worked perfectly around the shops today. It's a little difficult to get it up and down slight curbs and a bit tricky over uneven ground but for what we need it for it's excellent. The MIL says that it is perfectly comfortable to sit in + as you can't self propel it I can always threaten to 'park her up' somewhere with the brakes on if she misbehaves ;-)PS - it came very quickly, we ordered it on the Sunday and it arrived on the Wednesday, great service.

1.0 out of 5 stars Easily foldable, but needs to be more sturdy.

D.P.G. · 13 August 2019

The front wheel started wobbling in a couple of days - which compelled me to return this item. Otherwise, it was a good wheelchair; lightweight, easily foldable, and assembling was simple too. Maybe, it was faulty when I received it.I suggest to look for rear wheel that is slightly bigger. The same wheel sizes makes it difficult to push especially when a heavy person is sitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, considering the reasonable price!

S. · 17 August 2017

I researched long & hard before purchasing, carefully noting helpful customer reviews. I am aware that this is not the most robust model but consider this an acceptable compromise in my personal circumstances. The price was a bargain and it does exactly 'what it said on the tin'. I was pleasantly surprised by its response to the bumps and camber of the pavement outside my home, however I realise that this requires careful control from a STRONG carer. I would not recommend this product on uneven surfaces, for someone who must rely on a less physically able carer. However, for smoother flat surfaces it could be handled my most. I do not recommend attempting even a tiny step of 1-2 inches without caution. A very slight tilt of the chair to lift the front wheels accomplished this. It cannot be tilted like other chairs to negotiate kerbs. However, my strong carer got around this problem with a modest, sloping kerb by pulling the chair slowly up over it in reverse, without detriment. I advise all to approach such techniques with great care. My carer was particularly pleased with the wheelie bag, and noted that if you arrange the wheels carefully before packing, effectively compressing the chair until one set of wheels slots inside the other set, it slips in much easier. For occasional or even lightweight regular use, with the need for wheelie bag storage allowing easy transfer into limited/no boot-space vehicles such as taxi's, look no further. My only concern is for wheel replacement, as I think they will wear down with necessary (for me) rough pavement use. Fragility in health/condition may mean that surface-related vibration is troublesome/tiring for some, including myself, but this is true of many more expensive chairs, and I intend to add a moderate cushion when necessary. These latter comments do not detract from my overall opinion that.. for the money, and the flexibility of lightweight portable storage, for those with moderate mobility concerns, this is a brilliant product! And the Bolo/Betterlife delivery service for this product was faultless.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight wheelchair with limitations

Super light, speedy delivery and basic initial installation required. Every time it's folded up for travel you have to remove the foot supports and then reassemble them on arrival. It's quite hard to click the arm supports back in place. This model is fine for moving around on smooth surfaces but isn't easy to move over steps (you'll need to reverse it over these) or bumpy surfaces and it isn't the smoothest of rides as the slightest bump jolts the 'passenger'. One point to note is that the brakes on ours are useless and so for a safety aspect it should only really be used on flat surfaces. The mechanism for the brakes have nothing to grip onto on the wheel so it' more a design fault. Would highly recommend using a foam seat pillow to make the ride more comfortable. We chose this one for speed of delivery and the fact it was so lightweight, plus it was intended for use from home to car, car to hospital. For other general outings or prolonged use, I would have invested in a more robust option.

Guter Ersatzrollstuhl

E. · 25 March 2019

Versand und Verpackung gewohnt gut. Der Rollstuhl ist zusammengefaltet so groß wie eine durchschnittliche Reisetasche. Er ist sehr leicht aufzubauen. An der Tasche zum verstauen befinden sich 2 Rollen zum ziehen. Das wäre aber nicht nötig, da der Rollstuhl wirklich schön leicht ist. Man sollte sich aber im klaren sein das es wirklich nur ein Reiserollstuhl ist. Durch die verhältnissmäßig kleinen Rollen lässt er sich auf Schotter, Kopfsteinpflaster etc. schlecht schieben. Auf ebenen Boden allerdings geht es wunderbar. An der Sitzposition lässt sich nichts verändern. Die Verarbeitung ist ganz gut. Alles in allem ist der Rollstuhl für diesen Preis echt gut.

FANTASTICA

M.N. · 17 November 2023

Esta silla es fantastica, que maravilla, se pliega como un cochecito de bebe. Se tira de las asas y queda perfectamente plegada sin ESFUERZO ALGUNO.Yo la llevo en el asiento del copiloto, puedo ponerme de pié pero no caminar. La bajo, la abro desde mi asiento de conductor con toda facilidad, me siento en ella y me voy al maletero a buscar la mia grande normal y hago el intercambio y lo mismo para volver al coche. No pesa nada. Se maneja perfectamente. A mi me ha solucionado SER INDEPENDIENTE.La atención del vendedor al que le hice algunas consultas antes de comprarla fué muy buena, rápidos y atentos.

Très bon fauteuil, léger et pliable. Indispensable pour tous les déplacements.Muni d'un sac de rangement pour moins de place lors d'un voyage.Permet de sortir le malade pour prendre un peu d'air.

Ottimo prodotto

Decisamente un ottimo acquisto, estremamente leggero e maneggevole e quando non utilizzato, occupa pochissimo spazio.Chiaramente è adatto solo per un uso saltuario ed in interni.

Poor quality

V. · 27 April 2024

Broke down after 5-6 usages. The person who used it weighs barely 60kg, and we have always used it on flat surfaces such as in shopping malls. After 5-6 usages, it was impossible to fold or unfold the chair as a part of it broke. Bad quality.
