Is it right for you?
A good fit if:
- the user weighs up to about 260 lbs (it's rated for 300 lbs; we suggest 30 to 40 lbs to spare)
- you want a seat that rises: about 22.5 inches from the floor, 27.5 inches with the seat raised
- your hallways are tight: it has a 22.25 inch turning radius and is about 34 inches long
- it mostly stays home, or you have a vehicle lift: it doesn't fold, and its heaviest piece is about 97 lbs
Look elsewhere if:
- it has to go in a car trunk: the Merits EZ-GO Deluxe P321B Power Wheelchair comes apart into three pieces, and the heaviest is 54 lbs
- you want the seat to rise higher: the Merits Vision Sport Elevating Power Wheelchair with the power lift goes from 20.5 to 29.5 inches
- the user weighs more than about 260 lbs: the Merits Atlantis Heavy Duty Power Wheelchair is rated 600 lbs

Buying for a parent or someone you care for?
- Check the fit first: their weight (choose a model rated 30 to 40 lbs above it), the narrowest doorway they'll go through, and who will lift it into the car.
- Order in your name, ship to theirs: at checkout, put their name and address under shipping. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC.
- Larger chairs come by freight truck, and the carrier calls the phone number on the order to set a delivery time, so give the number of whoever will be home.
- Questions from both of you: chat with us or call 800-711-1940, and Mike can email you both. Not sure which one? Try our chair finder.

Not happy. I was promised
