Comments about Nova Nova Steel Wheelchair Standard with Fixed Full Arms and Swing Away Footrests - Chrome 18 inch seat width, 5080S 1ea.:

this portable chair allows my son new found adventures and mobility you can't get in a power chair. My son loves the way it feels and the comfort, he is able to visit more people now that don't have wheel chair accessible homes. We added a seat belt. It pushes easy and handles great ! It's so easy to fold and go with ! wonderful chair !

Wanted to replace an older 18" seat width wheelchair, but the fixed arm rests on this Nova chair are more narrow then the seat itself making entry/exit difficult & uncomfortable. Might work well for taller/thinner user.

Comments about Nova Nova Steel Wheelchair Standard with Fixed Full Arms and Swing Away Footrests - Chrome 18 inch seat width, 5080S 1ea.:

I purchased this product as a Mothers Day gift. She was previously using another brand which became very worn and unstable. Being this is only our second purchase of a chair within a 4 year period (since her stroke),we felt it was time for a new chair. I did some research for her and I decided on the "Nova". I am eager to see if it will out last her first chair and I am sure it will since "Nova" seems to incorporate many of the newest features into their product(s) especially: EASY assembly out of the box...just be patient while you remove all the protective coverings (good thing though) !

Tires leave black marks on carpet, I called NOVA about 70 days after I purchased this wheel chair and I was told that they would not do anything about this, so they really don't stand behind there 90 day warranty.

Comments about Nova Nova Steel Wheelchair Standard with Fixed Full Arms and Swing Away Footrests - Chrome 18 inch seat width, 5080S 1ea.:

The price attracted us to this item but you get what you pay for. Wheels made black trail marks on our carpet/floors. Nova admitted to be aware of the problem but did not know the cause. Chair also difficult to open and close. I would not recommend this chair.

Comments about Nova Nova Steel Wheelchair Standard with Fixed Full Arms and Swing Away Footrests - Chrome 18 inch seat width, 5080S 1ea.:

My 15 year old son had leg surgery. I needed something that would accomodate him around the house and out in public. This collapsabile wheelchair fits through standard household doorways and is easy to load into the back of a vehicle. It may be a little heavy for a child or elderly person to lift.

[...] It was much sturdier than I thought it would be. The paded seat,back, and arm rests were a surprise and a great feature. Although a little stiff at first the chair folds and unfolds easiley.
