I posted recently with questions regarding the Permobil F3 (I’m currently borrowing one from my loaner closet and like it so far).
That previous thread is here: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/gen...-mnd/42619-question-you-wheelchair-geeks.html
I did receive a gift of a used (> 5 years old) Permobil M300 that I may keep as a backup chair. It’s a bit worn and clunky and will need some servicing including possibly a new chair lift bracket. I haven’t had NuMotion come out to evaluate it yet.
So a new situation has presented itself. The widow of a recently deceased PALS in my area very generously offered me (for free!!) his barely used new Quantum chair that the VA bought for him. I haven’t seen the chair yet and I don’t yet know what model it is.
I scoured this forum for information about Quantum chairs and found older posts where people were often unhappy with them due to lurching, jerky movements, battery issues, and unreliability. I found the same in online reviews.
So my question now is if there are any current (or recent) Quantum users here, and if you are happy with your chairs or have regrets. Do they still have the above issues?
It’s possible I may get a new Permobil F3, keep the Quantum as a backup, and donate the M300. Or... just pass on the Quantum if people here have found them troublesome.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
