Looking for electric reclining wheelchair, suggestions?

[linusbert]

i am looking for a electric wheelchair.
it should be reclining at least to 160degree.
and somewhat be comfy in lying position if that is possible.

just am right now on alibaba, looking through... but of all those products, how to find the good ones?

Do you have Craigslist where you are for a used unit? Of course you'd have to make sure it doesn't have fragrance on it from the previous owner but you could ask before going to inspect it.

???

no, i want a "new" one. i think one of those chinese models should work, but there is always one copying from the other ... i am looking for the best.

Hi, @linusbert

I think @Howard has one of those, or something similar. You might want to reach out to him using this thread.

Best of luck!

thanks Zebra.
@Howard are you there?

Hello. I have a Permobil M3 Corpus, which seems to meet your 160° requirement.

I've had the chair since August, and it functions rather impressively overall.

Having had experience of a few I trust TDX. Wouldn't go near the lighter Sunrise Quickie - bits falling off, unable to handle even almost flat dropped kerbs, even struggles horribly to get onto ramps. The wheels easily lose traction and spin, and the wildly multidirectional wheels at the front spin the chair from side to side when you need the chair to go in a straight line, and then randomly twist and lock the chair hard against the sides of the ramps meaning it needs third party assistance to get unstuck. I've been trapped out in the cold and rain more times than I can count, needing random passers by to help. It's scary and I don't trust the chair at all. It's been really bad. I don't generally have those problems in the TDX, it's heavier, more stable and altogether more reliable. I've had a few issues with the control unit, but the rest works fine. On the quickie I've had a motor fail within the first year and all manner of technical issues.

do you have links?

i ordered one, the wheels are not round... half of the parts were missing and actually they sent the wrong wheelchair completely missing the reclining feature. what a shit show.
though the other parts except the wheels seam to be ok from a engineering point of view.

well... passing some time, seeing chinese quality... after thinking about a 3000 EUR chinese chair i am now thinking about getting a used high quality chair.

like a Sunrise Medical Quickie Q700 F at ebay.
or a permobil m3 corpus.

of course i need to rob a bank before... but i just call this reparations for our governments oppression of our sufferings for far too long.
