The Jazzy Chair: Should You Believe the Hype?

They have also offered a greater sense of freedom for thousands of people who would otherwise have to be pushed by someone else in a wheelchair.

Jazzy Chair Advantages

The big advantage to going with a Jazzy mobility chair is the wide selection. There are currently 15 different models, all falling at different price ranges. There are also models of different sizes, so someone who needs something larger that will accommodate more body weight can find a suitable chair just as easily as someone who needs a smaller sized chair.

Consumers also tend to find the Jazzy chair extremely comfortable. Each chair is nicely padded and the built-in joysticks make it very easy to steer the chair. The turning capability on most chairs is top notch, allowing the user to get around tight corners with little problem.

Most chairs are also designed with easy access to the wiring, which makes servicing the chair faster. The batteries are also placed on the side of the chair so they are easy to access. The wheels are solid and built to be quite durable, so you do not have to worry about tipping over or getting a flat.

Jazzy Chair Disadvantages

The biggest disadvantage with Jazzy mobility chairs in general is the battery life. Some users have found that the chair does not hold its charge for the length of time it is stated to hold. The problem seems to be more with the Select models than any others, and many users have used the same battery for three or more years with no problem.

Many other complaints against the Jazzy chair tend to be a reflection of some users purchasing the wrong sized chair. It is very important to follow a few tips when selecting your mobility chair, whether you go with this brand or some other.

* Check the dimensions of the chair to ensure it is appropriate for your height. Otherwise, you will not ride comfortably.
* Check the maximum weight capacity and the width of the seat to ensure it will hold your body weight safely. There are wider chairs for those who need it.
* Check into how long the battery will hold a charge and how many years it might last before needing replaced. You may need a longer battery life if you will be using the chair for extended trips.

Checking into those things prior to making a final purchase will ensure that your chair fits comfortably and meets all of your needs.

Recommendations

The Jazzy 1650 is the best option for anyone with a higher body weight as it will comfortably hold users up to 650 pounds. For a lightweight, smaller model that fits into smaller places very well, consider some of the Jazzy Select chairs. The Jazzy 1113 model seems to be the most popular with consumers and looks like a good mid-sized pick most users would find suitable.
