>From what I have heard about Invacare I would stay away from them if you
can. I get my wheelchairs through the VA and they said they will not deal
with Invacare anymore until they get there FDA problem straightened out. I
have had a couple different wheelchair vendors basically tell me the same
thing. I can tell you that I have had two permobil wheelchair so far and I
have had very good luck with them. I know firsthand that Permobil does make
a very good product.

That is my 2 cents.

Subject: [QUAD-L] New Chair

 

Need your opinions and input please

 

I have been injured almost 19 years (Thought it was 20 but I was wrong) and
I am getting ready to get a new chair.

This will be my 3rd chair and and my 1st two were Invacare Action Arrow
Storms. They are no longer making this chair L

I hate change! I went to an evaluation appointment and was told the chair I
want (Invacare Torque 3) is considered a Group 4 chair

And it would be difficult to get. They recommended a Permobil C350 or
Quantum Rival.

 

They told me that an Invacare plant had been shut down by the FDA ( I think
that's right) and their concern is if I got the

Invacare they might quit making parts for it. 

 

I feel they probably make more $$ off the other two chairs (I just really
have trust issues with them) 

. I have had incredible luck with my Invacare chairs, obviously since 2 have
lasted 19 years. 

 

What would you recommend?

 

Nicki
