I am on my second Invacare 9000-XT lightweight wheelchair. The first one I got when an inpatient at Mayo Clinic in 1997. Over the years from then to now, I actually wore all of the tire material down enough to allow the metal to begin tearing up our floor---to the dismay of this buildings management. I picked up another 9000 XT about 6 months ago and it serves me nicely. Being unable to drive now, this Invacare chair is light enough for the cab drivers of our town to put easily into their trunk. Also, I'm a big guy and I squeeze into it snugly which affords real nice back support.

I heartily recommend the Invacare 9000-XT.
