Great chair, VERY lightweight. Rolls straight and with little effort.
Difficult to adjust footrest length.

Lightweight…only about 22 lbs & back folds down for easy transport in car…this is awesome compared to 40 lb wheelchairs! As a 82 year old Caregiver for my husband, it’s a game changer!

I would not recommend this chair for daily use, it’s really not designed for that purpose. However, if you need a very light, compact, easy to store chair for travel or occasional use, this is perfect.
The chair is designed first and foremost for lightness, and this is reflected in it’s features and design. The arms are hard plastic and not padded. The footrests are plastic and lightweight. There is a very small storage bag attached to the back of the seat.
I added the optional anti-tip wheels and a Comfort Labs seat cushion, and the cushion makes it a lot more comfortable, especially if you have to be seated for a while.
The chair folds up very easily and I can lift it with one hand and stow it in the back of my car. It takes up less space than my folded up rolling walker.
In summary, this is a well designed chair for occasional use or traveling and I am very happy with it.

This is my second LT-980. The first has lasted 11 years and is still in use around the garden. It is durable despite being less than 25 lbs. it is one of the few that can be set for 17 inch seat height. I am only 4′ 11″ and need a Hemiheight wheelchair to get my feet on the ground.

If I had the extra money, I would purchase another one. Very sturdy and light. I am 71 my husband is wheelchair bound.
He is 6 foot and 210 lbs. I live in a small ranch home and the doorways are narrow. This chair easily fits thru doorways. Very easy to push. And the wheels allow my husband more freedom to go in and out rooms with out my help. I have a transport wheelchair for the car that I am able to lift. But, this wheelchair would fit in my car easier and is just as light.
i can lift it easily. May purchase again when I can.
