OT: Adjustamatic Riser Recliner Chairs

[Roger Mills]

I think the one cited by the OP had built-in massaging facilities, which these two don't - so you might expect to pay £500 or £600, but not four grand!!

Just been to southport flower show where I tried the adjustamatic recliner. Having a medical condition they would have let me have it vat free. The co st of the chair was £4100 without VAT and the guy was willing to give me 15% off but I would have still been paying over £60 per month for 5 years. How ever the chair was extremely comfortable but I would hv needed a mortgage to buy one.

That sounds a hell of a lot for a riser-recliner. We bought one for my mother a few years ago for £1500 and I thought that was a bit pricey. Can't remember the make, but the local firm that supplied it, HSC-Mobility, has riser-recliners starting at ~£600 or ~£750 depending on model. If you Google for riser recliner chairs you get lots of firms who supply them, so you can research their prices.

A lot of geriatric kit goes for peanuts second hand.

For reasons you can probably understand.

How does £90 grab you?

I occidentally bought a recliner riser a few years ago, I just wanted a recliner but it came with a riser/recliner mechanism. I never use the riser except to play with but it only cost £300 for the chair so where they get these stupid prices from I have no idea. There are just two motors instead of one and it came with a standby rechargeable battery pack with enough charge to lift the chair once.

It wasn't from a mobility specialist but a furniture shop that was in Merry Hill.

Quite. My dear mother, sadly now 'late', would never have considered a S/H one. 'Someone might have had an accident on it'. Bless her.

For £4100 I would expect it to not only rise and recline but drive me from room to room, massage me and make my meals! £700 seems about righ t. When we bought one for my mother the girl at sales mixed up her info abo ut a buy one get one half price offer, so we were led to believe the price was £700. When the salesman called he said that we were misinformed an d it was £1400, however once he realised the sale was going to fall th rough and his journey was wasted a quick phone call to his " manager" secur ed us the £700 deal and I have no doubt a handsome profit was made on it still. Profit margins on these type of products are obscene at the best of times, but £4100 is "havin a larf"

This is the well-known "special price" for disability products.

There should be an escrow organisation that handles payments. Think of it as paypal for the vulnerable.

I'd check with local charities etc. Once no longer needed, such things have near zero value. Unless you really must have brand new.
