  • The Handles going up is a game changer!
Size: 18 Inch Style: Elevating Leg Rests
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 sturdy Storage capacity: It folds easily Quality: Great quality Safety: Great ... show more

  • Great quality for a reasonable price!
Size: 18 Inch Style: Swing Away Footrests
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. ... show more

  • Great Option
Size: 20 Inch Style: Swing Away Footrests
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.

  • Excellent value for the money
Size: 16 Inch Style: Elevating Leg Rests
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. ... show more

  • Portable wheel chair
Size: 18 Inch Style: Swing Away Footrests
Fantastic. Lightweight and narrow enough to fit through standard doorways. Ordered this after getting a transfer chair in error. This is not only light, it is sturdy and allows a family member to get around the house independently. Nice chair for the price. Good quality from a trusted manufacturer. Would be a great 2nd chair for those who have a stair lift and need an extra chair. Would highly recommend. ... show more

  • Mobility Restored: A Game Changer for Dad’s Comfort and My Peace of Mind!
Size: 16 Inch Style: Swing Away Footrests
My 83-year-old father’s mobility declined significantly due to advanced dementia, making walking unsafe and difficult. We purchased the Drive Medical Blue Streak Wheelchair to help him move around the house comfortably, and it quickly became indispensable. With its 16-inch seat, this wheelchair fits his slender frame perfectly, allowing him to sit comfortably without feeling swallowed up by an overly wide seat. Maneuvering is surprisingly easy, even through the narrow doorways of our older home, something we struggled with in previous chairs. The thoughtful design features, such as flip-back desk arms and swing-away footrests, have made our daily routines much smoother. The desk arms are especially helpful during meal times because Dad can roll right up to the table, maintaining some normalcy in his daily activities. Transferring him in and out of the chair is also safer and simpler, thanks to the footrests that conveniently swing out of the way. This wheelchair has genuinely improved Dad’s quality of life and has given me greater peace of mind knowing he’s safe and comfortable at home and on the go. ... show more
