Invacare seems to have some good designs but then its like before we can have there chair, a bean counter reduces quality of parts and downsizes the batteries. Mine has enough clearance to hold two very large batteries yet it has two tiny batteries and to reduce power and life even more the chair comes with gell cels that only put out 50 amps. (100 combined). The motors are also downgraded from whats available. I've had luck with the DME. They come ASAP and do their best to fix everything as fast as posible. I'm glad we have any choice at all. Medicare is trying to get us all to ride in Jazzys. This is the wheelchair version of a barbi car.

While overall this Invacare chair has lasted, it has not been the best. I am also not satisfied with the support down here for Invacare. I guess it matters more what type of vendors you have and what you're used to.
