The detachable arms are great for transfering my wife who is dead weight. With my medline transport chair it is very difficult to transfer with stationary arms so I bought the Nova 352 and am glad I did. Arrived with a broken hub cap and the company promptly sent me a new replacement wheel and hub cap. Rating: 4 / 5 The Nova 352 transport chair is a good buy.

The plastic clips attached to the rear of the sliding seat support do not fit closely, and can easily pop off the rear vertical tubes when the chair is folded up.. When this happens, the chair is locked; it cannot be opened unless you get your hands into the closed seat and snap the clip back on, which is not easy given the limited space.

This means that the person in the chair cannot easily get in and out with the footrest down.

And the person pushing the chair should expect black hands; the rubber used in the handgrips leaves your hands stained black.

All of this is after about a month of use.

We got the chair because it met the criteria, but these problems really do affect use of it.
