If you are shopping for a power wheelchair, here are some questions you may have encountered during the process of choosing a power wheelchair. We hope this will help you.
1.Do you need to refer to the top 10 power wheelchair brands ranking?
The reference significance is not great. As a professional wheelchair sales for 12 years, I often listen to a lot of customers and friends ask about electric wheelchair brand ranking, model ranking, and so on, and then subconsciously will think, are into the ranking, the strength of how to say it should not be bad, right? Big mistake! Strictly speaking, electric wheelchairs so far there is no official ranking, this thing as long as you are willing to spend money, can be on. Not to say anything else, you go on Google to search the top ten ranking of electric wheelchairs, and almost every web page’s results are different. It also depends on who, the so-called king’s wife selling melon, self-promotion, everyone will think their products are the best. Of course, we can not generalize. We do not blindly pursue, according to their own needs and product quality on the line, a rational view of these rankings.If you want a wheelchair brand ranking, I can give you a copy of that as well.
2.Is it true that the more expensive a power wheelchair is, the better it performs?
Of course not. Power wheelchairs are about fit, not price. If it’s not the right fit, it’s no good spending more money than you have to. One thing I can honestly say is that a $600 power wheelchair is certainly not the same experience as a $1,000 power wheelchair, BUT! More than ten thousand electric wheelchairs are upgraded in certain details of the experience and material appearance, more suitable for the pursuit of the ultimate experience of the crowd. Like an average family, it’s fine to get a USD 800 power wheelchair, which meets the user’s daily needs.
3.What kind of power wheelchair can be taken on an airplane?
Generally, electric wheelchairs only accept consignment, not on the plane. The so-called airplane model actually refers to the electric wheelchair equipped with a 12AH or two 6.6AH batteries, but only this capacity of the battery can be taken on the plane, electric wheelchairs can only be shipped Oh. If the elderly do often go out of town for the convenience of carrying, try to choose a small portable electric wheelchair is better.
4.Any recommendations for power wheelchairs under $400?
If you often use an electric wheelchair, I do not recommend to buy it. If you are an occasional walker and don’t move often, you can choose the cheapest electric wheelchair, many electric wheelchairs under 400 dollars come from small workshops, without a strict quality control process, once they are produced, they will be sold, the only thing is to go for a sales volume, and the price is also very cheap. However, this type of electric wheelchair does not have enough safety guarantee, not to mention the quality of the product. A friend bought 300 U.S. dollars of electric wheelchairs, the results after three or four months where the bad can not be used, looking for after-sales found that the online store can not be found. Of course, if you purchase a larger order, the supplier will often give a cheaper price. For manufacturers, large orders mean that they can compress production costs and squeeze workers’ labor.
5.Are power wheelchairs only suitable for disabled people?
No, some elderly people can also be used. Some of the legs and feet, but a clear mind, can hear and see, and have the strength to move the controller rocker of the elderly, you can also use a power wheelchair, an electric wheelchair is just a person’s mobility tool, like a car. For some of the older stroke patients, standing although not a problem, but their balance is impaired, lifting the foot to walk easy to fall, the using power wheelchairs then, you can avoid fractures, head trauma, and other injuries.
