Jazzy Air

Height of raising.

Will not allow east access to bathroom toilets when out in public.

72 yr. old 5' 4" young woman with no use of her body below the waist.

Elevation so I can cook, etc. quiet

Too sensitive toggle, foot pad and front wheels get to feet and is slippery with bare feet

joe t. from three rivers, mi

male 86 (guess what? I can't walk)

The ability to raise up the seat so that I can stand without assistance.

Size and cost. It will just barely fit through a standard 30 inch door. (remember a 30" door only has 27" clearance)

william s. from silver spring, md

I have a muscle disease and can only walk short (5 feet) distances. I can stand up from a bar stool height but not from a regular chair.

The ability to elevate 10" and still drive. It's enabled me to do things I haven't been able to do in a long time.

In the suggested location for the up/down switch it is very easy to accidentally engage it. Installing it under the arm rest works fine. Wheel spacing is different from other chairs I've used and I keep hitting things with the rear wheels. I suppose that was necessary for balance when raised up. The ground clearance could be increased with larger wheels.

Male, 73 years old. Progressive muscle wasting disease. Unable to walk at all, arms are fairly strong. Disabled since 1992.

The Jazzy Air is a solid, comfortable power chair.

The technician was unsure of what to do with all of the extra wiring once the chair was complete. After a week of use, the wire attached to the hand switch for raising/lowering the chair broke. A new one is being sent and he'll have to attach the wiring differently to the chair. Also, pressing the switch didn't always raise/lower the chair. Took sometimes 3 pushes to work. However, the joystick and associated prompts always worked. When it did work it was terrific! Getting things off upper shelves, grocery shopping, etc. were great!

I am a 57 year old female, a Symptomatic Carrier of ALD.

Allows me to get up higher to reach higher cabinets or stand.

Getting use to the quickness compared to previous Jazzy chair I owned.

alys c. from royal palm beach, fl

Love it!!! I am tall (5ft. 9 inches) woman, So standing, cooking, getting up is much easier!

The ability to raise up, the lights for night time use.

Frame is too rigid, will not go over a 1 inch rise, doesnt do too well on grass or uneven surfaces, when raised all the way,there is no flexibility in the frame and the slightest of angles I found that this chair can tip over on its side if you are not sitting completely straight up. This chair would be awsome if the frame wasn't so rigid and the frame had more flexibility.

I really do like my new jazzy air chair

Rising seat & footrest

Have not encountered any so far!

eugene d. from yorktown heights, ny

Age 77, Primary Progessive Multiple Sclerosis, walk with walker for very short distance, otherwise I'm wheelchair bound.

Comfort and ability to raise seat level.

Maneuverability is difficult with position and size of rear wheels in home. New sporty look but still old design

michael p. from rosemead, ca

Disabled from legs , no leg muscle.losing upper body muscle quickly.. i have rare disease...VCP/IBM..this eats up muscle my body cannot replace

The biggest strength in this machine it raises high enough to get things off of the top shelf in the stores and in my house Jazzy air is wonderful!

It doesn't do too well in my yard or in uneven ground

The rise

Needs bigger tires

robert d. from mount erie, il

Stroke

More freedom and ease of use.

I measured the seat requirement listed on the website..the chair width is way too big for my frame and arm protrude too far for most doorways.

linda s. from maple grove, mn

I am 64 years old and have muscular dystrophy. Walking long distances is difficult and using the chair opens up more freedom to do things for myself.
