The closer dealer is not 'permobil authorized' & the previous permobil dealer went under. Believe me I've done alot of research, including wheelchairjunkie.
lol it surely can't be 2 much longer til it arrives...he has it but was waiting for my legbag emptier.

ESPECIALLY after having TWO Permobiles to more or less prove that. Even though the dealer for A Quantum is much closer... just curious as to why you would want to change? Because I would put reliability first or before getting another chair. For example, my dealer/vendor is not exactly close by for WHICHEVER chair I use ... but I surely want one that I know has been reliable <--- to avoid going to the shop x-number of times. Any idea when your Quantum will arrive? I know these days that it takes 6+ months to GET any new chair so it is just a waiting game for you or can you call someone every once in a while to get an idea of when to expect it?

I hear Permobil is better and my vendor is bringing one for evaluation. Which do you prefer and why? Any suggested questions that I should ask?
