5.0 out of 5 stars Overall good but not the version I ordered.
Verified PurchaseEverything is mostly identical except the elevating leg rests did not have the push in snap pin system for extending the leg length as shown in the ad image. The version we got was a black pipe (not silver) fitted inside the blue one and you have to loosen a bolt and pull the footrest part out then re-tighten the bolt back in place. It makes the version we got harder to adjust and the black pipe could stand to be a bit longer for longer legged people who need to elevate their legs. The box was beat up to all hell, but the chair was otherwise in new condition minus a few loose bolts that had to be tightened. The "drive" stickers that were placed on the outer sides of the thin plastic armrest panels were peeling off (curling away from the plastic) which was fine I just took them off and tossed them. One of the elevating leg rests didn't want to go back down because the bolt was somewhat loose, which caused the bar to stay extended and the lever couldn't be pushed to get the mechanism to release. Thankfully loosening the bolt more made it so we could get the mechanism to unlock, push the leg back down in place and tighten the end bolt back in place. Otherwise it is exactly as ordered, funnily enough the item was ordered from home depot, as there was an invoice slip on the box.
Had I known that home depot had these I would have ordered directly from them. Initially I placed an order from amazon and it was to be shipped from amazon directly and was cheaper but there was no shipping date. I called after 2 days of not having a shipping date to ask about the shipping as we needed the chair quickly. after speaking with a csr i was told I would hear something about the shipping in 48 hours. The next day I went to check on it and found the order had been canceled with no notice no reason nothing. This was the 20 inch one we ordered and there were no other quick options so after getting frustrated after talking with another csr who was not able to help me get it reordered from amazon and give me a date for arrival, I reordered on my own and chose the other shipper and paid 40 bucks more plus paid for shipping etc. it was a nightmare process and took over a week to get in addition to the 3 days of dealing with amazon. I am only adding the shipping info for others in case another family / person needs a chair in a hurry so you'll be aware of what we went through.
It seems like a very sturdy chair and everything else was perfect, we only just got it so I'll give it a while and add to my review once we see how well it does for us. Overall I have faith in the drive brand, a bit frustrated by the difference in the elevating leg rests and the not quite long enough bar for the footrests when the legs are fully raised, but we can work around that. Otherwise I think it'll do us fine. Its a bit clunky and heavy for me I'm 4'10 so when I have to lift it into my truck for use in getting my Dad to his doctors it will be a momentary issue but I think considering what it does, how it is made, the ease of moving the parts, it'll likely do us fine. One thing to mention is that the armrest release is just a piece of plastic. I can see how long term that might prove to be annoying if someone moves those armrests a lot that thin piece of plastic won't likely last a long time or will wear down over time.
** Update Aug 2023
The chair was working well for us, Dad doesn't use it often due to his doing better, but it is very helpful for when he has to go long distances, or needs to have a seat anywhere we go if he gets tired. However, somehow on one use, a super tiny clip that held one of the leg rests together disappeared. I suspect from moving the chair and rests to and from the truck. I called Drive directly, and they sent us 2 brand new leg rests free of charge. I was grateful because that tiny little thin metal clip held the whole dang thing together and I was using electrical tape to hold it together but that made it's use much more difficult. I am SO totally impressed with Drive Medical for sending the free pair of leg replacements, they were caring, wanted to know what model it was for future chair updates and got me a new set of leg rests within 3 days. I'm updating my review from 4 stars to 5, their customer service was amazing and the new set of leg rests were also the type I had originally ordered with the push button adjustments, so that makes me very happy. I can't say enough good things about Drive after this experience, the man I spoke with was just amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mobility Aid not collapsing or binding? Spray Ballistol at caster frame slides
Verified PurchaseWe purchased the Drive Blue Streak wheelchair with elevating leg rests [a.k.a mobility aid] over 1 year ago. Initially, we were well pleased; we see them being employed at some medical facilities, a credit to the manufacturer. THEN, we started having problems collapsing and expanding the chair as it was being loaded and retrieved from a car trunk. The chair was binding so hard that the black plastic slide at the side panels to the frame would sometimes pop off, rendering the mobility aid useless. I had to see what was going on, then stretch the pieces apart to get the slide in place again. I was noticing apparent play at the frame tubes that slides to the piece for the casters, the small wheels at the front for maneuverability. On a hunch I sprayed 'Ballistol", a unique multi purpose lubricant down both front frame tubes above the casters and now our mobility aid can be picked up and played like an accordion. I read reviews and noted that some other users were encountering a similar stiffness, hopefully your resolution will be this easy. Bearing load for our mobility aid is approx 200 lbs, well within the stated capacity. I am the only user, we never spilled any drinks onto it that might possibly cause binding. We own about 5 Drive Medical pieces, I am very comfortable with the brand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wheelchair.
Verified PurchaseI broke my leg while out for a walk and this chair was a life saver for myu husband and I as it is lighter than all we looked at and we are both 76 years old so weight and strong build of the unit mattered a bunch for us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Real Freedom!!
Verified PurchaseWhen my Dr prescribed a wheel chair for my ascites I thought my insurance would cover it. Of course I started getting rental bills I was not expecting so I started checking into just buying one for myself. When I saw the price on this I thought no way it would be good quality but then saw it was a Drive so gave it a chance. One of my biggest issues is when I am sitting in the hospital waiting for test results, my feet are down allowing for the fluid to continually build up. When I saw the legs flipped up I was sold. It was worth the shot and risk of having to return it, which I hate to do. I love it!!! It is easy to navigate myself. The versatility of the foot rests make it perfect for any situation. Both arms lift up and swing open giving you lots of possibilities on ways to exit the chair or just make yourself comfortable when sitting around. There are lots of good reviews about it already and I would say they are all true. Watch the videos and read the reviews if you need to but I say just buy it and you won't regret it.
