What stands out
The Q5017 is the Axera with quick-release rear wheels, and that is the only difference between it and the 5017. So the question is the same one the Q5019 raises: do you put the chair in a car? If you do, pulling two 22" wheels off before you lift is worth real money, because those wheels are the awkward part of the lift and the widest thing on the chair. If the chair lives in the house, buy the 5017 and keep the difference. As a chair it is the most capable manual we carry from this maker. The 22" rear wheels cover more ground per stroke than the 20" wheels on the Traveller, the armrests adjust for height so the arm sits where your elbow actually is, and there are brake levers on the push handles so an attendant can hold it on a slope. There is an oxygen tank holder on the back of the backrest. Watch the width, 27" across, and note the seat is one size at 18" by 16.1".
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- want to push yourself and want the largest wheels in this range
- load the chair into a car and want the wheels off in seconds
- need the armrest height set to suit you
- weigh up to 300 lbs.
Look elsewhere if you
- keep the chair in the house, because the Axera 5017 is the same chair for less
- only ever get pushed, in which case a transport chair costs far less
- need a seat other than 18" wide, because this chair comes in one size
- weigh more than 300 lbs.
