As a former caregiver to my mother for over 10 years, I know how expensive medical equipment can be. My mom didn’t have the best insurance and often had to rely on Social Security and state benefits, so I pitched in whenever I could. When she needed a new wheelchair, I went with the Drive Medical Blue Streak Wheelchair, a reliable, highly-rated option. I paid full price, but right now Walmart has it for just $128 (was $178), saving you $50.
One of the main reasons I chose this model was its portability. At just 42″ x 12.5″ x 36″ when folded, it easily fits into my Mustang’s trunk. Despite being lightweight at only 41.25 pounds, it supports up to 250 pounds and has a comfortable 20-inch wide seat.
The flip-back, padded desk-length arms made it easier for my mom to pull up to tables, while the swing-away footrests are convenient for outings to restaurants or even the zoo. The solid brakes worked flawlessly, even on inclines.
My mom still uses this wheelchair today, and the durable rubber tires have held up through more than five years of daily use. The Nylon upholstery and blue powder-coated frame are both easy to clean, so you can expect to get many years out of the chair.
With over 200 reviews and an average of 4.4 out of 5 stars, this Drive Medical Wheelchair is highly praised. One shopper wrote, “Was almost completely assembled except for the foot rests. Sturdy and very comfortable for those who spend a lot of time in a wheelchair.” Another wrote, “The wheelchair is reasonably priced and sturdy. My friend who needed it found it comfortable. It was easy for me to push him around. The leg rests come separately, but do not require tools to install.
If you or a loved one needs a sturdy, comfortable and easy-to-transport wheelchair, this deal is well worth grabbing while it lasts.
