Great chair!!

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

Has all the functions, and is comfortable.

Weaknesses:

Not really  a weakness but sometimes I accidentally hit the massage/heat buttons. If they could put those buttons on the remote, might be better. Not that big of a deal though.

Highly recommend sitting in one before buying for size...

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

The lift feature is very helpful for me both when sitting and getting up. And the amazing range of positions is truly wonderful, as is the heat. and massage, all of which I control with a simple control.  

Weaknesses:

I bought a medium size chair without being able to sit in one but by using the information provided regarding size of user and the specs of the chair. I am 5' 6" 120lb. The chair feels too big for me especially in the length of the seat. It's difficult for me to push myself back so that my lumbar spine touches the backrest. My shoes get caught on the edge of the leg-rest as well. Even when tipped back I feel I'm not properly positioned and have to try to adjust myself. My favorite position so far is to sit slightly tipped back with my legs crossed Indian style - not a good use of all that the chair can offer. My husband, who is not much taller than me, finds the chair to be perfect for him.

Very well built multi-featured lift chair

 
4.0 / 5
Strengths:

Heavy built Great massage feature also, multi-heated areas and host of seating/reclining adjustments.

Weaknesses:

As some have indicated heat/massage switch could be located elsewhere This definitely is not a big problem as I bought 1 and a week later bought a second chair for my wife.

It has made sleep possible

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

I especially like how much support it provides to elevating my legs.

Weaknesses:

I wish it had an attached tray for my meals.  The drink cup holder is sufficient, but there is no place to put my tray of food.

Reviewer:
User Details:

Because of health issues, I practically live in my chair.  I can't sleep in a regular bed and need the lift feature the chair provides.

Love the firmness, comfort and quiet motor operation of...

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

Everything about it is great!  The heat and massage features are something we thought we could do without, but are so happy to have these features after using.

Weaknesses:

Would prefer a right-side cup holder instead of the phone charger.  It could also use a side pouch for the corded remote.

Darn near perfect... except for the heat/massage controls

 
4.0 / 5
Strengths:

This chair feels sturdy and quality built. I essentially live in this chair when not in my wheelchair for toileting/bathing. It is comfortable and the "infinite" positioning allows me to find that "just right" position which always seems to change from day to day or even hour to hour at times. The power adjustable lumbar support is nice, but the power adjustable headrest is AMAZING. The power headrest eliminates the need to have someone try and shove a pillow behind my head which (sorry caregivers) is never quite perfect and I, like many others, settle for "close enough". This is a great "sleeping" chair too! I generally spend more than 23 hours of every day in this chair and so far it has remained comfortable all around. The "Viva-Lift" feature is exceptional. It essentially lifts the front of the chair base up several inches which helps in repositioning myself and takes some of the weight/pressure off my bottom as needed. It is super great for elevating my feet above my heart without pillows shoved under my legs or feeling like my head is going to explode from being partially inverted to get my heart below my feet.

Weaknesses:

The weaknesses in this chair, for me, are not a deal breaker. As so many others have commented, the heat/massage controls are in a really dumb place. That being said, there really isn't a very good place to put these 3 buttons except for on the remote. Given their current location, they do get bumped inadvertently, especially when repositioning or trying to stand/transfer. The massage is different... rather than vibrating, this system uses air to pressurize several places on both sides of the spine below the shoulder blades as well as adjusting the lumbar support out to various levels. It basically blows up the massage points then deflates them, repeating this cycle until the massage ends. The lumbar part of the massage feels good and is very noticeable. Those points along each side of the spine are considerably less noticeable and seem almost pointless compared to the lumbar section. None of these weaknesses are dealbreakers for me but could have been if I required a stronger massage or had no left arm function to operate the massage/heat controls.
