- COConrad O.Verified BuyerReviewingJourney Air Elite Lightweight Folding Power ChairI recommend this productProduct Standouts Easy to Maneuver, Lightweight, Easy to Travel WithRated 5 out of 5 starsDecember 17, 2025Great product!
My wife and I each use one of these chairs to get around the house and for visits to the doctor, hairdresser and short shopping trips. We've had them for over a year now and they are still performing well. We have one spare battery that gets swapped around so we never have to have a chair waiting to be charged. We like that the chairs are light enough that we can load them without help and they fit behind the front seat of the car. Only negative thing is that some hospitals and retirement facilities don't allow use of the chargers for these chairs because they don't have a 3-prong power plug for the AC power cord.

Because I had my Journey Elite, I was able to enjoy a vacation with my wife that I wouldn’t have been able to do before. The Elite allowed me to be independent and allowed my wife to be able to enjoy herself and not have to push a wheelchair. The Elite went up hills with ease.
JHJourney Health & LifestyleOctober 16, 2025Hi Lawrence, thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Journey Air Elite! We are thrilled to hear that you had a great vacation and that you and your wife were both able to enjoy yourselves. Thank you for including some great pictures - looks like a great time!

The Air-Elite was the perfect choice for my husband. It's been a lifesaver for my wife as she doesn't have to push me anymore. My only wish is that the footrests would fold under the chair. It's hard to step over the footrests to get into the car.

This is simply the best and perfect chair!
My mom is a stroke survivor with limited mobility. She is 89 years of age. Acquiring this chair has been a dream come true!
It has given my mom independence and a greater sense of self-confidence as she is able to maneuver it with great ease. She is not afraid to use it and I feel confident in her ability to use it. She loves it!!!
She was so excited that she drove it out of the store! Simply stated: this has been my best gift to her!
