The Medline Excel Extra-Wide Bariatric Wheelchair is built for comfort and can support up to 500 lbs, with a 24-inch wide seat according to the manufacturer. While it's great for added seating space, our research shows that it might not fit well through standard doorways, which are typically around 30 inches wide.

The wheelchair's overall width is about 32.5 inches, so maneuvering through standard home doorways could be tricky without precise alignment. This might be even more of an issue in older homes where doorways can be narrower.

On the plus side, this wheelchair is durable and user-friendly. It's made with a carbon steel frame with chrome plating, making it resistant to rust and chipping, and has easy-to-clean vinyl upholstery. The padded armrests and footrests add to the comfort, so it's a solid option if you need a sturdy and spacious wheelchair.

That said, if you're planning to use it indoors in a typical home, you might run into some issues with getting through doorways. But if the extra width is crucial for your comfort and you have the option to modify doorways or use the wheelchair in wider spaces, it could still work for you.

So, in short, the Medline Excel Extra-Wide Bariatric Wheelchair is supportive and comfortable, but its size might be a challenge in certain home settings. Think about your space and how you plan to use the wheelchair before making a decision.
