I had my Permobil go into the
shop, so I had to use my back-up chair. It’s an Invacare TDX3, mid-wheel
drive. I HATE IT.
It can’t turn as well, and it’s
clunky. I go up/down a ramp and the 2 little front wheels that are on funky
shocks just clunk around. Some of the things are just adjustments with the
speed control… Like it starts so fast it pops wheelies and it’s too wide and
hurts my back… But the chair is just so clunky… it makes all these noises and
jerks. It’s not well made, at least mine is not.
My 2 problems were… first, I never
tried one out before ordering it. Second, is when I moved to AZ, I got my WA
insurance to buy a new chair, the TDX3, but I moved before it came in. So they
shipped it to me. But I never got it fitted. They did send me a new back when
I told them the one I got was not tall enough.
I just hope when this Permobil
goes, there are no records that my new insurance can find out I have the TDX3
that’s only a year and a half old. So I can get a different
chair.
