What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about weight and dimensions: it gives a weight of 28.66 Pounds as well as a separate 13 kg figure, and two slightly different overall dimension sets. It also conflicts on seat width, with 17 Inches in the details and an 18-inch chair in the box text. Confirm the selected size and configuration before ordering. The stated 24-inch turn radius and 17-inch wheel size also do not align clearly with the description’s 24-inch rear wheels and 8-inch front tyres, so check the intended wheel measurements.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

People seeking a manual self-propel wheelchair with a folding design for storage or vehicle transport.
Buyers who need an adjustable, quick-release footrest and a half-folding back.

Less suited to

Buyers who need a confirmed product weight, overall dimensions or seat width before purchase without resolving the listing discrepancies.

Customer feedback highlights perceived lightness, manoeuvrability, comfort, sturdiness and ease of folding, including reports of lifting the chair into a car. These impressions are relevant to the listed folding design and aluminium frame, but do not resolve the listing’s conflicting weight and dimensions. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a smaller one-star share, so experiences are not uniformly positive.

Positive themes

Customers report that the chair is easy to push and manoeuvre.
Customers describe it as comfortable and sturdy, and report that it folds neatly for car transport.

Frequently asked questions

Is the LAWC007A self-propelled?

The listing identifies it as a manual self-propel wheelchair. It also lists push handles, so an attendant can push it.

What is the seat width?

The product details state 17 Inches, but the box text describes an 18-inch wheelchair. Confirm the seat width of the selected listing before ordering.

Does it fold for transport?

The listing says it folds for storage and transportation and has a half-folding back. It does not provide a consistent folded dimension.

What is the listed weight?

The details give 28.66 Pounds, while a separate product-dimensions entry states 13 kg. The listing does not resolve this difference.
