      And here I am using my legs like a sucker!

      My wife wanted to go on a trail walk, won't she be impressed when I jump in the car with my bandaged knee and tell her I didn't want to let her down… Not sure how she'll feel when she opens the boot to find my new wheelchair! Hope the brakes work well!

          I picked up one of their used ones out back. Not a scratch on it, it was owned by some lady who only used it to go from the bathroom to the kitchen and to feed her cat.

      Yeah. Will be interesting to see those 130+kg obese OzBargainers trying to lift a 18.5kg wheelchair. Huffing and puffing :D

        Why would they lift it? Unfold it right there and then and roll away to the register and roll on out..

      I blame the Hungry Jacks deals and phone being fine to redeem them

      • Cluster on 02/04/2017 - 17:54

        I rarely venture into Hungry Jacks, but I was shocked when I recently saw that a Grill Masters burger with small fries and Coke contains 6200kJ. That's over 70% of the energy an average adult needs for 24 HOURS. Upgrade to a large fries and Coke and you'd be looking at close to 100%, and I very much doubt people eating these limit themselves to one meal a day.

    Not as good as the Cougar 9000, aka the Rolls Royce of wheelchairs. Still, this is a great buy and will make you feel like… you're almost glad to be handicapped.

    If you really need a wheelchair - try government programs. Or buy better ones second hand (starting at about this price in good condition - on Gumtree) .

    I push a family member around in a Karma Ergo Lite (8kg, but only 100kg capacity) ($750 new on eBay, currently over $300 used on Gumtree). 10kg lighter matters when regularly lifting chair into boot. Rolls along very smoothly, well built, & folds easily. Provided (hired) free under some government program. Everyone is impressed with it.

    Don't think I'd trust a wheelchair from Aldi. Let me park you here at the top of this steep hill😱

      Do you need to insert a coin to use it?

      • Jackson on 03/04/2017 - 10:32

        The wheels automatically lock when you leave the car park, will make it interesting when the person is rolling half way down

  • povertytrap on 02/04/2017 - 13:02

    Best to buy it now and when you have to use it in 20 years time it will appear outrageously cheap (warranty expiry accepted).
