Jazzy Air 2 Elevating Power Chair

What immediately is apparent when first seeing the Jazzy Air 2, is its quality of material. It is extremely rugged but also compact. I Assembled with no problems. The instructions were easy to follow. The ability to elevate the chair was the main reason I wanted the unit. My wife is less than 5’ tall and with the lift she can be raised so she can see out when setting in our conversion van. She rides in the “passenger side”. The large batteries provide plenty of power.

Not sure if these are weaknesses so I have two suggestions; (1) not everyone is familiar with using a joystick. My wife has problems controlling her movement and I’m sure it will get better with use. Her natural movement was to attempt to “turn” the joystick. Could the unit be made with a small (about 2-inch diameter) “steering wheel” as an option? Also, (2) we have a van with BraunAbility conversion that has an EZ-Lock to secure the unit. Thankfully the Jazzy Air 2 was built with a heavy metal band on the bottom which I drilled and tapped to accommodate a 5/8-inch bolt that latches into the EZ-Lock. This causes some problem however because of its low ground clearance. Could the unit be made with that “3/8-inch Pin” on a band fastened such that with a 45-degree lever turn, it could be lowered and used to engage the EZ-Lock?

My wife, age 87, is the user. I’m her primary caregiver. A stroke 3 yr. ago left her without use of her right side. Blessed, she is left-handed.

The ability to raise seat above counter level for kitchen & bath access & safety. Turning radius is very helpful in the home judging doorways, furniture, etc. Limited clutter around the wheels allowing clearance to safely position feet while transferring onto and out of the chair. Footrest is nicely tucked up close to the frame and out of the way of transferring

I believe that no one chair can do everything everywhere. This chair is used in home only. I have a lighter, foldable chair for travel and a heavy duty scooter for outdoor activity. I would not be confident using this chair in outdoor excursions as the chair weight appears centered but not low enough to contribute to base stability.

I am a 77 year old female stroke survivor. I am partially paralyzed and suffer painful arthritis.

I purchased this chair because of the lift capabilities. and that is the feature that malfunctioned on the first day of use. I like the ease and comfort of the chair and when I get the part to fix my new chair hope it will function properly.

If it worked right, there would be no weaknesses of this product.

More mobility, will be able to drive sitting in the power chair and using my hands to drive.
