What stands out
The Axera is the chair to buy when the person sitting in it still wants to move under their own arms. The 22" rear wheels carry hand rims, which is the line between a wheelchair and a transport chair, and at 28 lbs. it is light for the type. Two details lift it above the usual folding chair at this price. The armrests adjust for height, so the arm sits where your elbow actually is rather than where the factory guessed, and there are brake levers on the push handles, so whoever is pushing can hold the chair on a ramp instead of leaning back against it. The anti-tip wheels behind the rear axle are the other sensible touch, because a self-propelled chair goes over backwards more easily than people expect. What to watch is width. It is 27" across the rear wheels, which is wider than a transport chair, so measure the bathroom door before you order. And there is one seat size, 18" by 16.1", so if that is not your size this is not your chair.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- want to push yourself rather than be pushed
- want an attendant to have brakes for ramps and slopes
- need the armrest height set to suit you
- weigh up to 300 lbs.
Look elsewhere if you
- only ever get pushed, in which case the 5014 or 5023 transport chairs cost far less
- need a seat other than 18" wide, because this chair comes in one size
- have a narrow doorway, because the chair is 27" across the rear wheels
- weigh more than 300 lbs.
