Permobil Wheelchair Plusses

• Seat is more comfortable
• Headrest is nice to be able to lean back.
• Recline is a plus for weight distribution
• Don't have to work feet from one side to the other of the tiller

Minuses

• Can't reach the floor
• Need height adjust to be able to even attempt to transfer
• Foot rests are really hard to get up and down (for transfers) (Where and how are you supposed to keep your feet out of the way?)
• Way too big. Too wide, turning radius isn't acceptable.
• Can't get close to the kitchen counters (The scooter can pull up along side and swivel chair. Wheel chair has to go 'head in' and can't get close.)
• Foot rests scrape on the ramp or concrete non-curb
• No stable grab-able place when transferring from the toilet.
• Harder to 'fine control' than the scooter. Joy stick is too sensitive and the rear wheels cause 'fish tailing' which is disconcerting
• Delay in forward/reverse direction causes difficulty
• Storage (what usually is on the back of the scooter seat) doesn't work on the chair. No way to rotate the seat to get to the bag.
• Can't switch hands for drive control. (Alternate right and left hand control very easily) (For getting through doors or walking the dog, for example)
