Hi All,
I've been doing some research on the wheelchair that I tried out on
Friday. It's the cheapest one in the line, Invacare model M41, and
it only has a ground clearance of one inch! The thresheld to my
condo is more than that I think. I now think the salesman was
giving me a hard sell, probably because they make the most profit
on that model. I'm going to call him and tell him I want a better
model or forget it. At least I didn't sign anything. It was Friday and
I guess he was rushing me for the long weekend. At least my
insurance will cover most of it, I hope.
One question for anyone who uses a power wheelchair, it needed
a lot of correction with the joystick to get it to go straight. Is that
common? He
said that's not unusual, it's like driving a car. If my car drove like
that, I'd think something was very wrong with the wheels! I figure
it's just getting used to using a joystick. I only tried it on the
carpeted hallway outside my condo.
Good labor day all,
Kevin
