I love my Permobil chairman power chair. I paid $23,000 for it and a replacement now is $40,000 and I'm trying to get another one. It was fully articulating so you can sleep at night in it if you're so desired. I was more comfortable in my chair then I was in my bed. I purchased it because Mark Smith, the wheelchair junkie, said it was the "Cadillac of power chairs" and that was in the nineteen nineties.….https://www.shermanoaksmedical.com/Permobil_Power_Wheelchairs_p/permobil-f5.htm

Let them know you love their chair and would not want to be stuck in another brand, start crying if you must. Let them know what the vendors are doing to consumers..... Who knows what they can do for you. Good Luck and I hope you win an Oscar ! Best Wishes In a message dated 6/19/2017 12:42:04 P.M.

They were halted for a couple years, so I waited but they are at least in operation now.

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