Best Heavy-Duty and Bariatric Power Wheelchairs
Short answer
We have not published results for this list yet. Chairs appear here only after we have measured them and both our test lead and clinical advisor have signed off. Heavy-duty chairs are rated by the maker for at least 400 lb. We weight braking and range heavily because both get worse under load.
Who should look elsewhere?
Heavy-duty chairs are wide and heavy. Measure your doorways and check how you will transport the chair before you buy.
How did we pick and score these chairs?
To be on this list, a chair must meet every rule:
- Maker's rated capacity of 400 lb or more
| Sub-score | Weight |
|---|---|
| Braking | 30% |
| Range | 25% |
| Maneuvering | 25% |
| Ramps and curbs | 20% |
Each sub-score comes from our measurements by a fixed formula. See the formulas.
