WHILL Model Ci2

Easy for her to use, turn on and off, charge it, allows her to get outside every day. She likes the joystick controls, doesn't have to open her hand to operate it and works really well. She says using it is 'automatic' now, very intuitive. She likes how small and compact it is, and is much easier to use than the manual wheel chair and gets around the house much better.

Doesn't get as close to the kitchen counter, head on, and the manual chair did for her.

My mom is 96 and has weak legs, her hands don't open good, in good health, lives alone, cooks etc. She doesn't use a computer or cell phone

Ability to traverse a wide range of terrain never attempted in a standard power chair. Build quality, durability and toughness factor far exceeded expectations. I have logged miles and miles on this chair and it has outperformed in every way. The ease of battery changes and ability to carry a spare battery with the chair has given me the opportunity to travel further than I ever have with previous wheelchairs.

I would love optional headlamps (forward lighting).

I am a 50yr old male, paralyzed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Quiet! Smooth. Easy to maneuver. Looks very cool. Dad is the envy of the assisted living facility. He can outrun everyone - lol! I may have to put a governor on it.

None.

My dad, got the chair to celebrate his 90th birthday. what a difference it's made in his life.

Great balance and maneuverability.

Could have better markings to show ease of disassembly.

I am not permanently unable to walk but cancer caused nerve damage which led to muscle deterioration.

Portability, turning range, looks really sharp with the lights on.

The battery cost is horrible.

Ease of disassembly and transport--either my spouse or myself can disassemble the chair and put it in the trunk of our Prius

I've managed to lose the velcro strip that is part of the cane holder. My son also managed to knock the cane-holder off the chair, but that was easy to replace. This was significantly easier than on the C1.

Foot rest isn’t long enough

shelia m. from beaumont, ca

Had polio when I was 3. Now 71 I have over used a lot of muscles. I am now in the chair 24/7

1. excellent design, quality manufacturinbug in Japan; 2. built for indoor/outdoor use on all terraine operation. 3. easily dis-assemble into 3 parts for transporting in a car or SUV trunk; max weight of 44.5 lbs. 4. ease of transferring in or out of the chair.

still a little too heavy for ease of transportation. lifting in /out of a car trunk if you have balance issues.

joanna l. from san marcos, ca (caregiver)

Do to Wilson's disease, I have weakness of my legs, so it was difficult for me to walk.

Easy to use. Very versatile... can use outdoors and indoors. Easily disassembled for transport.

Nowhere to mount a cup holder. I haven't had it long enough to test battery life.
