Jazzy Carbon

Easy to lift in and out of car.  Easy to fold and unfold.

Foot rest could be longer so feet could be wider apart.

The Jazzy powerchair has made it where he takes his dogs out for walks and enjoys the outdoors with his family and friends. We have a loan closest for our patients who need special equipment like powerchairs. The day he came out to pick up the Jazzy powerchair from our loan closest. Wish you could have seen his face. He had the biggest smile I had ever seen. With ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) a lot of our patients start to loss their ability to walk, talk, and speak. The ALS patients start needing help with the independent living skills.

We purchased two chairs for our ALS loan closet here in Nevada.

Strengths are, easy foldable, light weight, user friendly, excellent quality. Using this chair makes my husband feel like he has regained his independence.

At this time, only owning the chair for a month, cannot describe any weakness.

My husband is not capable of walking long distances, that is why we purchased the Jazzy Carbon Folding Power Wheelchair.

Lightweight at about 43 lbs High quality with excellent finish Relatively easy to use after some practice operating the joystick controller Good battery life and would get a 2nd battery Able to disengage motor to allow manual pushing by caregiver if needed Very tight turning radius especially useful in tight spaces such as inside the house

Needs a closure fastener which would make easier to lift and carry without the need to make certain doesn’t open Doesn’t climb well unless on the sidewalk or similar firm surface Not good on grass  Could use a rear foot bar to step on when manually pushing to allow raising front wheels to get over a raised surface such as some door thresholds

The battery power, longevity of the battery, speed, maneuverability, and ease of folding are unmatched. Also very lightweight, easy to figure out even for people using it for the first time. My friends have had no trouble figuring out how to fold and load, or unfold the chair. Changed my life. Also surprisingly good at off-roading on Sandy trails, only slides on soft dirt and sands when going on an incline. 

The only thing I wish I could change is how squeaky it is. Going over a bump, adjusting, turning, scooting back, it’s going to squeak. It’s worth it for how lightweight it is, however. Also, the beep when turning the chair on is very loud, disturbs everyone in my office. I’ve figured out muffling the joystick with a pillow helps the beep not be so intrusive. Would love to be able to disable the beep.

Age 75. Heart Attack and Lung Disease. Problems breathing while walking.

Portable , speedy

Crossing doorways. A little rough ride

jerry p. from madison, tn

78 yrs old, lower back chronic pain spinal stenosis. Only able to walk short distance one room to another. Perfect for me to fold and carry out.

Flexibility and turning inside my home is the best thing. Don't have to use my arms as in a normal wheelchair. Glad I could get an attachment for a coffee holder. I am 81 and also got a doorway "bridge" to get outside onto my porch so I like that! The footrest pulling up is very helpful for me. Charging is normal but battery life lasts almost all day never a problem!

My girls are just about able to fold it up and into the trunk but it's a job for them. Might be easier if it would be in two parts somehow.. I also must be careful between the doorways; the wheels get twisted into the doorframe sometimes. Maybe a wheel/door cushion is possible.

David is my son-in-law. This is Dominic Iannelli who asked him to get the chair for me while I was in rehab!I am unable to put and pressure on my feet
