Jazzy Air 2 Elevating Power Chair

The elevating function is very helpful for getting off the wheelchair. I really appreciate the precise precision of the joystick.

Heavy. Requires a ramp to leave the house.

Let’s you reach places you would not be able to reach.

The foot piece is narrow. It also collect dust very fast

I recently purchased the Jazzy Air 2 for my mother. She absolutely loves it! 1st time her open feet soars have healed completely! Very impressed

The best feature of this chair for me is the ability to lift as much as it does. Makes it much easier to access higher shelves and cabinets.

I don't like the extra switch on the left armrest. It is always in the way and really serves no purpose that I can see.

Ease of use

Haven’t found any

My husband has had his left leg amputated below the knee due to diabetes. It is taking a very long time to heal - so far eighteen months.

The lift function, and the maneuverability, turns on a dime.

We have not found one!

My wife is a 66 year old paraplegic, after a botched procedure on her back. She’s been in a wheelchair since 2013.

The smooth rise on this chair would have allowed my husband to continue working in the kitchen--that was our primary aim.

It just fit in our galley kitchen which is 44 in wide and through the dog-leg entrance which narrows to 26 in. But maneuvering it in the kitchen cause bangs and clangs, especially since the joystick is sensitive and has a bit of a jack rabbit start. We were told the sensitivity could be adjusted by a technician. But because of my husband's Parkinson's, his hand would not be sensitive enough to manage it, especially since the seat doesn't rotate, and looking behind himself over the captain's chair is difficult for him. So we are better served by his old GoGo scooter. Additionally, the width of the base means we can't get its chair directly adjacent to the bed for transfers, there's a gap of about 4 inches. And finally, the lack of any way to carry something makes his scooter's basket a winner. We know you have to over-engineer these things for safety. But my husband weighs only 136. If you ever build a rising scooter, let us know.

My husband has Parkinsons and a bad knee such that he cannot stand.

The seat being able to go up & down

The joystick is a little hard to control

jannett g. from kernersville, nc

My Mom is the user of this product, but she's not on-line. She is 80 years old and has MS. She is in her wheelchair every day & loves it.

The ability to move at different speeds. The length of time before you need additional charge. The lift is one of the best features.

It takes a little time to practice moving around and not backing into the wall or furniture. Getting in position to sit at the table.

I am a 70 year old woman with a Hereditary disease HSP. I am unable to walk. This chair has really changed my life, especially with the lift feature.

Being able to do things I had trouble with before

Can’t think of anything that would be a weakness

sherry d. from quitman, tx

I love my Jazzy air 2 wheelchair it feels so good to be able to do things I had trouble with before.

Seat is very comfortable. Elevating seat is a big help. Nice looking chair

Armrests don't give much support getting in and out of chair. Can't put much pressure on the one with the joystick, and the other one is a little short.

92 year old male with spinal stenosis

I love how fast the seat raises and lowers and that I can go full speed with the seat elevated.

My only minor complaint is that I often inadvertently turn the lights on. I need to find a different place to mount the switch so I won't keep triggering it.
