Cirrus PR-508 with MaxiComfort

The strengths are the wide variety of positions, as well as the lift for easy standing.

I have no problem with the product.

My mom is 78 years old. The chair has made it so easy to get up and sit down. It has many different positions and keeps the pressure off of one area.

The cushioning of the seat and back. Will have to wait and see how long it lasts under everyday use.

The frame isn't very strong, moves too much and too easily for my liking. My wife bought us both these and I don't think they will last very long, the quality of workmanship is missing. I weigh 260 and she is under 200.

85 year old male, my body just keeps telling me my young life was a rough one.

The cushion of the seat and back is great.

Frame is weaker and I’m having difficulty bringing the foot rest down, even with the back is in the full upright position. There appears to be a binding between the two parts and it takes numerous attempts to get the foot rest in the down position without both pieces pressing together. I have missed phone calls because it takes so much time and effort to get the foot rest down without causing stress or damage to chair frame or bolts. I should have gotten 2 of the Large Comforter PR-505 MaxiComfort chairs.

david w. from pooler, ga

Male, 67 years old, wheelchair bound.

Very comfortable -- fine support.

It doesn't stand me up perfectly straight -- I still have way to go. The leg extension is shorter than I need, so I have to go to the Trendelenburg position to pull myself high enough up so that my feet extend beyond the end. The lights on the remote control don't go out and stay on all the time, which is somewhat annoying.

I am a 79 year old male who weighs 150 pounds. I have fractured my right hip, which has not healed, and I cannot walk. I am 5'11".

Seems like solid construction but not yet tested.

Design is poor for its intended purpose.

wayne j. from west chester, pa

I am 76 years young but temporarily unable to stand or walk. I can transfer from my Hoveround to the chair. I have incontinence both ways.

Comfort of fabric upholstery (had leather before). Motors are adequate to lift my 205 lbs.

The heat feature, I am not sure it's working. Heat is faint if existent. Lifts seem slow but I will get used to it.

Everything except for the overstuffed/uncomfortable back

See above.

james b. from aurora, co

64 year old male, with Muscular Dystrophy, unable to get out of "normal" chair, lift chair adds to my independence.

Quality does not seem too bad the motors are quiet

The quality of the fabric could be better, I have buttons on the back of my chair and they stick out and poke me in the shoulders, makes it very uncomfortable at times, the heat and massager really doesn't do much, pretty much a waste of money

cliff s. from el paso, tx

I have had 4 back surgerys, a lot of nerve damage, I have a hard time getting up from a setting position

Ease of setup, comfort, upgraded fabric (faux leather) and the lift mechanism. Even the controls have been relatively easy to learn and use.

So far no complaints.

james h. from auburn, ca (caregiver)

My spouse has limited mobility due to osteoarthritis in knees and hips. It was difficult for her to get out of her old recliner.

Being able to get up off the chair with its help and change positions.

The seat is a little hard.

Zero gravity feature, remote control, comfort, and appearance.

No weakness, unless the mechanical components don't hold up.

I am a 72 year old healthy, active female. I got my chair in preparation for bilateral knee replacement which turned out to be a fantastic decision!
