Invacare - 9SL_PTO_34749 9000 SL Durable Light Weight Wheelchair, Full-Length Arms, 18" Wide Seat, Flat Black, 9SL_34749

I bought this wheelchair to replace the one my mom previously had. This wheelchair is great. It sits and inch and a half taller than her previous one which makes it easier to transition her to and from the wheelchair and I don't have to hunch over to wheel her around. It has bigger thicker front wheel which are a dream come true. I no longer have to turn her around in order to go over a threshold of a doctor's office; they just go over them like nothing. The front wheel don't tend to go to the sides on their own like the old one did.The two sides go up on each side to make transitioning better and they allow the wheelchair to easily go up to a table for her to eat or to do a puzzle. This is way better than them going entirely off like the other one had to.It is lightweight for me to pick up and put it into my car.The only thing that stops me from giving this wheelchair 5 stars is that the leg rests DO NOT come with the wheelchair and you have to pay extra for them. One person answers the question if they come with it and they say that they do. They are incorrect.

This wheelchair was exactly what we ordered to replace a previous one that cost about twice as much (same model). It was delivered immediately and in great condition. The previous wheelchair held up well with some adjustments needed over time to tighten the screws. The armrests do need to be replaced every year or so if used daily. We ordered another one so we could have one for travel. It is lightweight and folds easily. My mom loves the comfort and ease of this wheelchair. The height is adjustable to fit different people. She definitely recommends this brand and model of wheelchair.

It is a well made wheelchair and will work great for my mom. I was really disappointed to find that it did not come with the leg/foot rests. There were several answered questions that said they were included. I probably would have gone with a different chair had I realized that there would be an additional cost to get the leg/foot rests.

I bought for my 89 yr old mother. It is difficult for her to push herself on carpet but on smooth floors there is no issue. She is small and needed the adjustable arm chair.

98 yr old Dad loves it. It fits him, it works, brakes are great. Only modification - we got 6" brake handle extenders that make braking so much easier for his 98 yr old hands.

Many years ago we used this collapsible wheel chair for Grandmother. It was a solid product. Somehow in the intervening years we lost the chair. Now, years later, we find ourselves in need of a chair – this was our choice.The current model is exceptionally well made and requires no assembly (except attaching the foot rests which simply snap in),If you need a well made chair that is sturdy and collapsible this is the one for you. Caution – this chair is not for the obese.

Invacare 9000 SL Wheelchair 16inch is pretty nice, and I should know, as this crippled wheelchair victim owns four manual wheelchairs and the Invacare is my favourite, I believe with my vast 31 years of handicapped expertise, The Powers That Be at Invacare could certainly learn a few things from me which would increase their bottom $$$, but overall the Invacare sets the Gold standard in wheelchairs.

I bought the wrong size. Too small.
