In the two-plus years:
- Lots of the red plastic has broken off.
- The pleather back has cracks.
- The arms wobble.
- The pleather on the armrests has holes in it.
- The batteries, which were bad from the beginning, were replaced.
- The joystick comes off easily, and the joystick skirt is ripped. (It's just this little rubber housing at the base of my joystick; Mom and I decided to call it a skirt.)
- I am on my third swing-away controller arm.
- Plugging in the charger is real hard and the charger often buzzes.
- The foam pads on the lower parts of the arms ripped and I took them off.
- The footplate top is not flat on the footplate bottom.
- And now, one of the front castors is behaving just like a faulty front wheel on a grocery cart. It wobbles and spins.
Add in the horribly designed controller and I wonder if this POS qualifies as a lemon.

they are just making them worse all the time. My tilt and recline system did not work even before I started using my chair for the first time! It is just over a year old and I had to replace the foot rest, the armrest, and now something else on the armrest is loose. Wonder if they are made in the USA? it is always something. I completely understand your frustration.

or your insurance company.
Yeah, their money was wasted on an inferior product.
