I got my new power chair, a Quickie QM-710 mid-wheel drive about three weeks before leaving on my birthday trip to Disney World last year. I'm five months into having it as I got it on October 10th, and I love it. I debated canceling my power chair reservation that I had with Care Medical in Orlando, and bringing my new power chair. But, I was advised against bringing it because of the awful experience I had with Icelandic Air breaking off my push handles of my manual wheelchair coming home from Iceland last summer. They paid for the repair thankfully as it was very expensive.
I did have a great power chair rental. It was well cared for, and a mid-wheel drive Jazzy power chair. On my next Disney trip. I'm definitely renting a power chair again. It was an expensive rental for the time we were there. But, I had saved up enough money for it.
I love the retractable joystick controller, and the flip-up foot board on my new power chair. It makes it easy to pull up to a table that had the four x-shaped legs. I also love the Spider-Trac suspension as does my back. It makes for a very smooth ride compared to my old power chair.
I did a trial run in my house with a demo model around this time last year, and found that it can fit through the doorway of both of the bedrooms. Right now. I just get around the house with my manual wheelchair. But, as soon as a wheelchair ramp gets put in. I'll be able to use my power chair in the house. The picture taken was the day I had just gotten it.
My seating specialist who delivered my new power chair also hauled away my old one. It was not working anymore, and I didn't have the room in my garage for it. I'm glad he did because he said it could be recycled.
