Medline Excel Extra-Wide Bariatric Wheelchair For Adults and Seniors with 24" Wide Seat, Supports up to 500 lbs

Lightweight, sturdy, comfortable and a GREAT value for a bariatric wheelchair. Very durable and easily maneuvered. Functions easy and folds easy. The drawback is not so much with the chair but houses, and unless you live in one with extra wide doors this wheelchair will not fit through a bathroom door, a front door to the house and in some cases for smaller houses/trailers, it will not fit through the hallways. We keep the bariatric walker at the beginning of the hallway as the wheelchair is too wide. This is a good quality wheelchair and I'd recommend it to anyone who is plus sized or who the 'normal' 16 inch wheelchair is not comfortable when sitting.

If you’re looking for a wide wheelchair, they definitely are not lying when they say this is. It’s heavy duty and definitely a nice one. Unfortunately it was too wide for me so I just donated it to a company that provides the use of medical equipment to people that can’t buy it or don’t need it for long-term.

Quality product for an affordable price

This is a great wheelchair. Sturdy, good quality. It is heavy. So be aware of that for people that are putting this in their car for transfers out and about. Need to have some muscle to get in and out of the trunk. The foot and arm rests are very light so taking those off doesn't do much with the weight when having to lift it. Very close with door ways, wheels sometimes scrape, so only get the extra wide if you absolutely need it. If you have to go through any narrow doorways, this wheelchair will not fit. So if you have someone who couldn't stand long enough for you to get the wheelchair through the door, this wheelchair would not work for you. The calf padding on the foot rests in the pic are not on the wheelchair we got. That wasn't necessary for us though, so no big deal. The foot rests are adjustable in length so that is a nice feature. I think that's about it. It looks like it will last a long time. We are happy with it.

I bought this for my dad. He is a large man and can no longer walk long distances. This chair is just what we needed! It is big enough for him to sit comfortably, yet easy enough for me to push. It is sturdy and well made. It's also easy to fold and unfold for storage in a trunk. This has allowed my dad to continue to go to outside activities with us like sporting events, family gatherings, shopping, and more! Because it is wider than a normal wheel chair, it is a very tight squeeze in some doorways. However, any building that is ADA compliant, this chair fits thorugh the doors just fine. Also, because it is larger than a normal wheel chair, it is heavier, so if you can't lift heavy objects, you may need help getting it in and out of a car trunk.

What a disappointment this has been! Within three weeks of receiving this product it was falling apart! It says that it is capable of up to 500 pounds. Not sure how when at 320 pounds the bottom is ripping away from the screws. And i mean the seat is ripping away from the screws holding the leather in place. In other words the seat has pulled away and is falling to the floor. It can no longer be used. To add insult to injury Medline was contacted on September 14 by email and phone and i have still not heard a word from them! Amazon has done nothing at all either!! This has been the worst company that i have ever worked with. This is the third chair I have purchased. The first is still going, just slowly wearing down after 20+ years.I cant remember the brand, not Medline and it is still being used at our cabin. The second is fantastic also! It is made by Invacare and all of the tags are still intact on the product. It is left in our vehicles so we don't have to lift it in and out as much. It is 13 years old and still looks and works great! Then we have Medline, the most expensive of the three and it was purchased on August 11, 2025. It was retired on September 12, 2025. It is now sitting in a closet for repair? Looks? Trash? At the rate things are going, Medline must just destroy their products after three months. By January 1, 2026 I will be contacting the attorney general because this is an extreme safety hazard, especially for an aging adult who could be unaware of a dangerous situation. Thank God that wasn't for us. So I would advise anyone needing a wheelchair to avoid Medline and even Amazon for that matter because neither company has any interest in standing behind their product!!! PLEASE USE THIS AS YOUR WARNING!!!!! AVOID AT ALL COST TO BE SAFE!!!

I got this for my husband and it is perfect for him. It is well made and sturdy. He says it is very comfortable. He has resisted the idea of a wheelchair for a long time. We rented one to try and he was miserable. It was too small, hard to maneuver and uncomfortable. I was so pleased to find this one, and for what I think is a great price. PS--This wheelchair is great. We went on a trip and it was a life saver. It is a heavy wheelchair, but it is a breeze to push. My husband is a large man, but I was able to push this chair easily. He was also able to maneuver it himself as needed with no problems. Easy to fold and put away also.

I love this wheelchair. At first I wasn't sure it would be wide enough because I'm a big woman & its 2 inches smaller than mine. It's wide & sturdy & sits up high. No cushion needed to make you sit up higher like mine. I have no trouble propelling with my feet. I do dishes & cook & even mop the floor from it. I haven't used it outside yet. Only con (for me) is I had to order brake extensions because I couldn't lock the brakes safely with the original ones that came with it because I have limited use of left arm. Overall, this is perfect to tool around the house in. It comes put together which was a plus!

J'ai du acheter pour les rendez-vous médicaux de ma femme. Elle l'aime bien. Nous nous sommes rendu compte que plusieurs centre hospitalier les utilise aussi. Donc satisfait de notre choix.

If you have a person that is large you'll want to get this size just for room on the hips.

Très satisfaite merci

pas satisfait le appuie-bras se desagrege apres 4 mois et le service a la clientele ne vaut pas 5 cents

too heavy to put in car
