Kerdom KR8807 Electric Wheelchair vs Foldawheel PW-999UL Folding Electric Wheelchair

Buy the Foldawheel PW-999UL for most shoppers. It folds in about a second, uses airline-approved lithium batteries, and has slope-adaptive control and electromagnetic brakes that make it safer on ramps. The Kerdom KR8807 has a higher stated weight capacity and larger 12-inch solid tires, but owners report it arrives far heavier than listed and harder to learn. The Foldawheel is the better-built chair; the Kerdom only wins if you need the higher capacity and bigger wheels.

• Choose the Kerdom KR8807 if you need the higher stated weight capacity and larger 12-inch tires, and you can manage a chair that owners say is much heavier than advertised.
• Choose the Foldawheel PW-999UL if you want a fast-folding, lighter chair with airline-approved lithium batteries, slope control and reliable brakes.
