Angel Mobility AMW1863 Lightweight Folding Transit Travel Aluminium Compact Wheelchair

This is by far the best wheelchair I have had the experience to push and I have pushed a few in my time. My mum says it is so comfortable and safe, and it's rapid putting it up and down (less time waiting around for everyone). We use it for big shopping, walks and visits to friends houses and similar; so it is not used all the time but I am confident it would stand daily use day in day out. It is very stylish and attractive, and has a neat closing pouch at the back to put small items in or even your purse. It is also quite sturdy for such a lightweight, even negotiating kerbs and cobbles once you get the hang of pushing a wheelchair correctly. The back sometimes feels a bit weak but to be honest the joint where the unfolded back and handles click into when erecting it, never fails, so I can't really complain. The brakes on the handles come in very handy indeed. It folds up so quickly and fits in the boot of my car, I have a Honda Jazz. I can pick the chair up easily folded or unfolded with one hand or two. I would most definitely buy from this company again and would recommend them and this wheelchair.

Bought for 85 year old mother. We're both very pleased with this. As the person who has to manoeuvre it in and out a Corsa and push if this is so much lighter and easier than her old chair. I also like the fact that the foot pedal can fold & be folded into frame nearly and can't to removed. I used to hate all that removing a replacing of footrests so the old chair could fit back seat of car. Also my ditsy sister managed to loose a foot pedal from the previous chair (yeah I'm wondering too), which I couldn't replace - hence the new chair. This chair fits in the boot (hooray!!) and is so much lighter and easier to lift in & out of car. Seems less sturdy than old heavy chair but I hope it lasts a good long while. By the way, this would not be suitable for a very large overweight person.

I bought this wheelchair for my mom in April 2019. Since then, it has been acceptable to use: lightweight, easy to fold, compact when folded, but uncomfortable for long hours of use.Around three weeks ago (July 2022), my partner was pushing my mum (a 57 Kg lady) at average velocity, and I was walking in front of them. He accidentally bumped me, and the blades that hold the users' feet, run over my heels, causing a severe laceration and exposing and damaging my Achilles tendon.I almost fainted in pain, we spent a night in A&E, I got three stitches, I used a cast for 10 days, and now I need to do physiotherapy if I want to walk normally again. Surely it will take a very long time to recover fully if it ever will. Without mentioning all the inconveniences caused in my personal and professional life.How likely are you to bump the wheelchair or a trolley into someone? This happens, right? But the dimension of the accident was massively aggravated by the quality of the wheelchair. The edges of the blades are sharp, and there is no protection (such as rubber, round edges or anything). This is not an aspect a consumer usually thinks about, but the producer should have thought.What if this same accident had happened to a child or a more vulnerable person?I would never recommend this wheelchair to anyone. I urge you not to buy it.

I bought this wheelchair for my Mother, who finds it difficult to walk distances. It is very light and easy to lift. Collapsing it is also straightforward and quick. I have used it for walks around the park and around garden centres etc. and it has been great. The brakes are very handy. The build quality is quite crude but sturdy. There are a few nuts and bolts etc. that could catch on delicate clothing. I take the other reviewer's point about not being able to swing the footrests out of the way- this would be a problem for anyone who was extremely frail, but if the person in the chair is strong enough to take a few steps while transferring, it's not a problem. I would recommend this chair for days out, when you need to put a wheelchair in the car. It wouldn't be good for long term indoor use in a domestic situation. All in all a great lightweight chair at a very reasonable price. Delivery was super speedy as well.*Since I wrote this review, we have continued to use this wheelchair frequently, without any problems. My Mother now wants to walk a little bit, and we use it like a rollator outdoors, until she gets tired, and then she can get in the chair. This is only possible because the wheelchair has brakes on the handlebars- brilliant!

Light weight but not flimsy in any way....I have back problems myself but can quite easily lift into the car boot weighs only 7kgs.wife finds it comfortable.has two sets of brakes that lock and are very easy to use.made wipe clean waterproof fabric.But most of all it is very very easy to fold down flat.... the top half of the back rest simply folds in half at the press of two buttonsand then simply lift the centre of the seat upwards and hay presto job done...no screws or bolts to mess with !!.I have a BMW metal folding rooftop convertible, and believe me The boot space is minimal this fits in the boot plus I can even fold the roof down at the same time....I and my wife are very very pleased with this product , and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it.This very same wheel chair in our local mobility shop in the UK were asking nearly £340 for it.

It's lightweight and folds up taking up little boot space. It's not east to push over uneven pavements and roads, I need to look ahead to avoid bumps, dips, cracks and uneven surfaces. The wheelchair is best suited to a small lightweight passenger, the foot plates are set high up so it wouldn't suit anyone with long legs.Overall not quite as I thought from reading other people's reviews,not sure that I would have purchased this model had I had the opportunity to test drive it.
