Three questions:1. Do you have to apply pressure or can you just glide it on the floor, 2. Is it heavy - I will be using it from a wheelchair, 3. Does it stand on its own

Hello, 1) only apply pressure in a scrubbing motion for specific stubborn spots (dried foods etc) 2) it is not heave, but the handle is not adjustable for height, I think you should be ok using from the wheelchair. 3) it unfortunately does not stand on its own because of the swivel head.

The pedals need to be attached and the leg can be adjusted for a wider stance. You install the meter in the clip on the top. We found that putting the unit against a wall kept it from sliding best. We tried a rubber pad but it can still move. We used this for my elderly mother-in-law. What is it you need help with?

Mine is big, so cant get around that it's awkward and not exactly light, but it's definitely manageable and not too heavy. I have hardwoods so if I move it I just stand it up on one side and slide it, that makes it easy for me.

We have the black one and we put pads on the bottom of it to assure it would not scratch the wooden floor. Even though it is so heavy, it is relatively easy to move. We want it to be relatively stationary so casters would not benefit us. I'd recommend not to use them unless there was a need to move the unit a material distance all the time.

This is a smaller, lighter wheelchair than the one that my mother had before. It is more narrow and it also sits higher than the typical wheelchair, so if you like to push yourself along by using your feet it will be harder to do that, unless you're taller and your legs can reach the ground.

I returned mine as a friend had bought me one as a gift. It works well on either floor or carpet. A few ladies in my rehab class had this cane & my therapist recommended it above others. I was recovering from knee replacement surgery as was worried about my balance. Because the bottom is like a foot it is stable & supportive.

It's heavy in the box, not sure how much, but I would not be able to move it myself unless I had one of those two wheel dollies. I still think you need two people, 3 or 4 would be better - if you have some friends that want to have some fun! I paid for mine to be brought up a flight of stairs (over the garage). However. The price of this equipment is well worth the work of getting it to where you want it. It's Stott all the way, and will last you a very long time. Having someone help you put it together is a good idea as well. I did it on my own but could have used some help. Bottom line: I highly recommend this product!!

I would advise against adding wheels. 2 people could pick this unit up with some not too heavy items on it and move it, or you can put an area rug under it and drag it around, as I do with heavy furniture. Or you can use the little round padded furniture floor protectors that you'd use under table legs or chair legs if you're moving it around on tile or hardwood. Please, don't try to put wheels on it. It is a very sturdy and pretty heavy unit, but it isn't designed be wheeled around. One person can pretty easily pick up the unit and move it without anything on the shelves. Hope this helps...

I love my Anti=Gravity Chair. Yes, when I first got it I fell on my back too. Then I decided there had to be a easy way to open the chair and I found it. While the chair is folded up set it down on the deck while holding the back rest in your left hand. Then find the arm rest and push down on it until the legs separate to fully open. (That is important) Push down on the back rest until the chair is in a sitting upright position, then it is safe and easy to sit down on it. Use the heels of your shoes to raise up the foot until it is in the position of recline you prefer. When opened correctly it should be in the position of a regular chair when you attempt to sit on it. I hope that helps you to enjoy your chair. Ray Wright

They are hard, but my sister said it was comfortable (we did add a good cushion). One important thing we really liked was that the hand controls for the person pushing made it safer for her. Also, it is considerably lighter than a traditional wheelchair. When you have to load and unload several times in a row, it makes a big difference.

you have to sit, if you try to stand the unit is so unstable you would just fall over. even in sitting position the unit walks all over the floor, you have to keep pulling back to where you want it

I have to use 2 "metal" canes and it can and does do this >> floor does need to be level for the stand up alone to work. There is no way to describe the difference in stability between this tip on the floor vs.the usual 1" or so diameter of the usual cane tip other than after you have used it. You have more "traction" on the ground and the bottom of the cane tip is well designed for this. mor e

It is a very nice solid machine but does not have wheels. You can slide it very easily over a carpet. If you have wood floors then you can place it on a small carpet or towel and then slide it from room to room. LB

I am disabled and I had some workers from my assisted living facility install it for me. I have it on a small table and I have adjusted it for space. I don't think that it is very heavy

IT IS not hard to lift if you are not disabled. I would not spend this kind of money on it, I returned mine. The $35.00 one does the same thing. The bumpy things in the bottom are very painful to sensitive feet.

I am disabled and live on a second floor with no elevator. I have tripped twice going down and it is scary. Coming up is a dream but you feel the weight of it. You have to hang on to something, railing, so you don't fall backwards. Still, this is the best I have found out there. Give it a try. Maybe you can do better than me. Let me know! Good luck!
