Infinity LC-525 Infinite Position

The stability of the chair.

The remote control.

Infinite positioning

Haven't discovered any as of yet. Would be interested in some kind of slip cover for the chair. The sheet that I use looks bad when it's not being occupied.

77 year old male, bad knees, hips, back, arthritic wrists (usually painful to push up from regular recliner).

Its positional versatility. (You leave no place for me to say that buying this product took three months because of incompetent office work, especially the office handling Medicare. I was forced to re-send documents and forms; each request to complete a form was followed by another request to fill out another form -- until I gave up trying to claim for Medicare's contribution, after which I was once again plunged into completing and sending the forms three or four times over a ten-day period. No, I would never do business with SpinLife again.)

The hook for the electronic remote can't be used by this user -- too tucked under the right arm; the pocket is also no use to him. He reaches down to the table in order to make the chair function for his various needs.

Nice fabric

Seat is too hard. Not comfortable. Husband won't sit in it. Saving it for when he gets worse. Seat too narrow

Thank goodness a manufacturer of health and medical equipment has finally addressed the issue of sizing for heavy women! The petite wide size is the reason I went with SpinLife. It's wonderful to have a chair that fits my height and hips, not sized for a big and tall man. (Who remembers Lily Tomlin's character, "Edith Ann"?) At the same time, because of its high weight limit, I don't have to worry that it's going to give way underneath me. Everytime I use the chair, I feel comfortable, secure, and pleased with my purchase!

Hard to say, it's mostly perfect. If I could tweak it slightly, I'd make it possible to raise my knees higher when reclining. This would intensify the lower back stretch and make the Trendelenburg position a little more relaxing.

We paid extra for leather like material. My father in law is very happy with the color and feel of the material. He likes being able to lean the chair ALL the way back. He feels the chair is quite comfortable and fell asleep in it the first day. The motor works quietly and smoothly so far - he's had the chair about 3 weeks. We'll have to see if it holds up over time.

The weakness, in my opinion, is the remote. The pictures on the remote are helpful for someone with good vision, but no so much for those who have vision issues. My father in law has some issues translating the buttons into action as a result. I think that the pictures could be simplified to show only the part of the chair that is affected by the button, rather than the whole chair. (e.g. show feet going up or feet going down, head going up or going down) I think it could also be helpful to include words like FEET UP, FEET DOWN, etc. The other thing is the way the buttons are set up. Left top is head back, right top is head up. Middle left is feet up, middle right is feet down. Bottom left is chair DOWN, whereas bottom right is chair UP. Seems like head back, feet up, and chair up should all be on the same side and then the buttons to return them to stasis should be on the other side. That all being said, it can be hard to teach a 94 year old man new tricks. Repetition is the key. The biggest challenge he has had so far is remembering to press the button to lift the seat up, and then when he returns to the chair, remembering to push the button to put the seat down - most of the time he perches on the chair with the seat elevated unless someone reminds him to put it down. Wondering if the next iteration might be voice recognition to where someone can say "Feet Up", "Feet down", "stand up", "sit down", and the chair controls will do the rest automatically.

94 year old man with balance issues

Helps my wife to get up and down good.

Can't get it to sit straight up....It only lays back and only good for sleeping.

mike m. from lexington, nc (caregiver)

Wife, 67, lost use of legs.

Runs quietly and lifts slowly.

The back needs to come up straighter when in upright position, too slanted.

jean s. from burr ridge, il (caregiver)

My husband who is 92 and has memory problems and does not walk so we are able to lift him easier with this chair.

Quality, comfortable

Is as advertised. Definitely improves circulation. Flexibility of positions worth every penny.

Noise when changing positions. Hoping that this will that lessen as chair gets more use.

Quality

Hooking up the electrical connections was not easy to do.

Make it very easy for my dad and his caregiver to get up and moving from chair.

None at this time.
