Glen my last chair was an invacare arrow and it lasted over 10 years with minimal trouble ever, so now it is my backup chair and I ordered the same, only thing is this is a Storm torque 3 ( the frame on an arrow and storm is identical they told me ) both have been good chairs for me--i'm a c-6 and need tilt and leg lift and nothing else . They are both rear wheel drive, and fit into our 1995 chevy astro mini van......If this chair holds up like the last one, i'll probably never need another. Dan H.

For me in the best will chair would be one that fits. I also like the idea of a having the same kind of wheelchair that I had had in the past. I get very familiar with the workings of the chair and keep the old chair in working condition as a backup. I have used Invacare storms since 1995, now on my third, and have a store of parts that are interchangeable. Luckily, I am mechanically inclined and if something is acting up I usually know where to look. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work on a wheelchair, to someone with a mechanical ability and a willingness to help. There are several parts, fuses, motor brushes among other things that I had taped to the inside of the cover of the battery box. If I am away somewhere in my chair breaks at least I am that far ahead. Glenn Henry
