Good But. . . .

Pros: comfortable, folds and unfolds fairly easily, fits in trunk
Cons: small wheels, cup holder does not stay in place
"This wheelchair was purchased so I would be able to go places while recovering from foot surgery - no weight bearing for 6 weeks. The wheelchair comfortable. It folds and unfolds without much problems. Unfortunately, the cup holder attachment does not work very well. It does not stay put. The biggest problem though is the wheel size. They are great for indoor use on smooth surfaces, but very difficult to maneuver in places with rough surfaces like gravel walk ways, side walks with cracks, and parking lots."

Great Buy!

Pros: easy setup, super lightweight, very sturdy and secure
Cons: comes with a folding cane but not a way to carry
"Was looking for a lightweight transport chair so we could easily get my mom around at events and parks. The Ultra light product did the trick. Easy to open and especially easy to load and unload in the car makes this a great buy. We had several family members, even kids try it out so they could help, and all loved its ease of use."

"The chair is exactly as advertised. It came with a broken wheel but the Costco rep promptly got in touch with proper supplier who promptly sent the replacement wheel. The chair is easy to handle, takes up little room and my mom is thrilled that she can now go shopping without a lot of hassle. Also, she can now go on trips with others from the assisted living because this chair is so easy to handle."

Great Chair

Pros: light, folds easily
"I bought this chair because the old one we used for my aunt was much too heavy. This one is very light, easy to load in car and folds up nicely. It's a wonderful change and will help save my back from the heavy lifting. Delivery arrived promptly and very little to get it up and going, just unfold, attach legs, good to go! Thanks Costco!!"

Nice lightweighted chair

Pros: light weight, easy to maneuver, push handle fold down too for minimum packing, comes with a travel bag where the whole chair fits
"This chair is easy to maneuver around and very light weight. The rear wheels could be a little larger to negotiate uneven surfaces better. It's in use for my 92 year old mother in law in a nursing home. She gets around a lot better with it then with the wide clumsy wheelchair from the home.
The push handle fold down, this way the chair folds smaller then any other chair and transports in the car very easy. The included travel bag for the chair is great."

Light & easy to use

Pros: preassembled, carry bag, light, easy to use
Cons: not for big people
"Very easy to use, came preassembled except for the feet. Very light, can carry with one hand. I do not recommend using it to move someone above the weight limit 225lbs. I believe that is the max on the box."

Useful aid and fast delivery

"Ordered this for an elderly woman with bad knees. This will give us the ability to take her shopping and out to dinner -which we have avoided because she cannot walk very far. Chair is light enough for me to fold and load into the car. Still getting used to balancing it while crossing thresholds and curbs."

Perfect for Dad

"The chair was extremely lightweight and perfect for my family members to use for transporting my elderly father. Costco. com was very easy to process an order through and the follow-up email was extremely helpful for tracking, as the item was being shipped out of my state."

great light weight compact wheel chair

Model Number: mds808200slrc
"Web site needs improvement - there was no visable indication on how to pick the color and when I tried to print out the order for my records the price information would not center and print. Wheel chair is very good, however I would like to see the price lowered & eliminate the carry bag and cane."

Wonderful & Versatile

Pros: great price, very lightweight, easy transport, very comfy
"This wheelchair is a wonderful product, it is ultra light an easy to transport, yet very sturdy and well made! I recently had surgery and cannot put any pressure or weight on my foot at all. This wheelchair has provided me with freedom, allowing for travel without my family breaking their backs maneuvering it in and out of SUV’s and minivans, and it’s very comfortable for long periods of time…I absolutely love it! & the price you just can’t beat! It even came with a complimentary cane, a travel bag to store it and all its components, and it has wonderful pockets in the back for the person pushing you to place things…really great product and amazing deal!"

Awesome Wheelchair

"Very pleased with our purchase for our 91 year old father. Super easy to assemble and super lightweight when compared to a traditional wheelchair. Easy to maneuver - and my dad easily weighs 250 pounds! And he loves how we can take him places without getting him "worn out". If you need a wheelchair, don't hesitate to buy this one from Costco since they guarantee every product they sell!"
