Zahra is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | I am experienced driver.I found this chair to difficult to control. I ran over so many foot and crashed to the wall and door more than ever. This chair has it's own mind and keep going even when I am not touching the control!!! | | Weaknesses: | Tires stick out to far in front and BACK!!! I get stuck in the grass and wet floor more now. I always have to ask for help , because the tire keep spinning and not going any where. Oh I forgot the SNOW!!! | | Comments: | Big mistake!! I wish I could go back to my Aspire Quickie. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Bill from Ocean, NJ submitted this review on October 27th 2012 at 09:47 AM. Bill is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Turns just about in its own dimensions. Faster than I need.
I have no problems with table height as someone mentioned.
Counter to that stated previously by another reviewer, I have a Dodge/Braun conversion mini-van where I assume the passenger position, using an automatic floor latch mechanism. It works great. Sitting up front is almost like being normal.
Lift/tilt seat is great. | | Weaknesses: | I exit the chair with it in the raised position, but the act of charging moves it to a mobility position. Could be dangerous if you do not remember.
Arm rest need occasion tightening.
Manual does not tell how to lube it. I believe the lift needs lubrication now, being it no longer goes all the way down until I sit in it, needing the added weight.
I requested and was given different arm rests which projected further forward greatly improving getting on and off the chair. | | Comments: | Overall I would recommend it to anyone. | | Durability? |  | | Ease of use? |  | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| TOMMY from SELIGMAN, MO submitted this review on August 19th 2012 at 05:02 PM. TOMMY is an end user who has less than a month of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Only had this chair for 4 days so I will be updating this review in the next few months. The power is unreal compared to my old chair, a Quantum 1121. Forward climbing ability is superb. Been looking for a hill, paved or no, that I can't scale, within reason of course. I've heard, and read, that backing up in this chair is plagued with spinning tires, fortunately mine has the Accutrac, which I believe adds a more independent system for the rear castors via a shock between the two. So while I have spun out backing up it's not anything I can't get out of. No problems with range, despite the 22NF batts. Got mine with the Q Logic controller for power tilt and leg rests. So far I love the layout of this controller. | | Weaknesses: | Like I said, only had it for 4 days so reliability/wear and tear is not an issue, yet. The reversing/spinning problem is still there but Its not as bad with the Accutrac. | | Comments: | So far a great chair and I look forward to many years with this chair. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

Dean P is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | The wheelchair has much more power than my old Invacare M41. Seating system is also comfortable. | | Weaknesses: | Tires stick out to far in the front. Motors seem to have less power than the M41. | | Comments: | I would stick with the M41 if I knew what I was really getting. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Alan from Wilsonville, OR, USA submitted this review on January 13th 2012 at 06:30 PM. Alan is a care giver who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | We were unhappy with it at first, but the techncian came out and reprogramed it for my wifes needs.Now she loves it.It is a very versitile chair, you just need to get it programed properly for your needs. | | Weaknesses: | The back controller for the caregiver is diffucult to control the chair with. If programed for very slow speed it works OK. | | Comments: | Have not used it outdoors yet, so don't know if there are any problems outside | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Linda from Toronto, ON Canada submitted this review on January 4th 2012 at 10:11 AM. Linda is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Nice motor casing. That's about it. | | Weaknesses: | I am an experienced driver. Even with adjustments, I found this chair difficult to control. I injured my feet a few times. The chair steering is wonky. I lost control going up a small curb. I was told I could get Accutrax (sp) for another $1,000. Well, why not just put it on in the first place? I hate the front and back wheels. They stick out way to far. Most important is the fact that this company can't design a chair with good suspension. | | Comments: | I've had to have chiropractic care for several weeks since I tried the chair. After 2 weeks, the chair started to squeak and make a weird noise when backing up. I'm very disappointed in the design and suspension. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Judy from Storrs, CT USA submitted this review on November 5th 2011 at 04:03 PM. Judy is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Comfortable, smooth ride | | Weaknesses: | Motors seize up suddenly throwing user forward and out if not for seatbelt; drive wheels spin in place in reverse ruining floors, will not reverse out of moist grass; overall width is 24" add to that 2 - 3" control preventing user getting through aisles etc.; brushes wear down too quickly; too much play in control to steer. | | Comments: | My 7 year old Invacare is in better shape than my 4 month old Q6Edge. Big misstake! | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Paul from Sacramento CA submitted this review on May 2nd 2011 at 05:00 PM. Paul is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | This is a well-made power will chair with ergonomic features that you don't notice until you have used it for a few months. I will say that if more than half of your use is outdoors on the street, buses, etc., you may want to look at a more robust package. However, a lot of features that are "extra" in other chairs are built into this chair making it easy to get a full-featured chair approved by your insurance carrier that other brands. I have the tilt/recline model and it is very comfortable, reliable, and protect my backside from pressure ulcers. It suspension is excellent for obstacles like a rolled-up garden hose, dropping one outside wheel 3-4" down off a sidewalk edge and other common obstacles. I haven't really tried it against 2" or more stair like barriers, well driveway lips, etc. This is easily the most comfortable chair I have used in my 35 years of injury. It even beats out my hereto for personal favorite, the Invacare eXtera, a slightly more robust mid-wheel drive chair with tilt only. I was constantly squirming in that chair trying to get comfortable. | | Weaknesses: | If you have had a lot of experience using the Wiltshire, the vendor can set it so that you can move no matter where you are with regard to tilt/recline. You have to get used to what seems to be a small recline when spinning in areas where good non-reclining chair had no problem. The back of the chair will bump things. On the other hand, the back of the chair, including the plastic shroud covering one of the recline actuators seem sturdy and gives enough so that neither the chair nor what you bump into his damaged. | | Comments: | My previous chair was my favorite until I got this Quantum Edge. It was a Invacare Xterra. In all fairness, it was until model with no recline. However, I was constantly squirming in it to get comfortable and was prone to pressure ulcers on my backside. The tilt/recline on the Quantum Edge is so adjustable that I am never sitting in the same position for more than 15 minutes. It has a decent warranty and my vendor, whom I trust, assures me that Pride Mobility really stands behind this chair as the company works hard to establish itself in the rehab power chair market. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Dave from London, UK submitted this review on December 29th 2010 at 04:53 PM. Dave is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | 2 inches narrower than a normal "hi end" power chair. Although thats not really much gained gain once you add a big enough cushion to sit on. | | Weaknesses: | Lacks speed option. 5 or 6 mph is it. Lacks range. Thats because it has small 22nf batteries needed to make it narrower. | | Comments: | Hopeless outdoors really unless on a smooth surface. And harsh. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |
