Let the BUYER BEWARE when dealing with Redman Power Chair!! I purchased their chair several years ago (paid in full in advance - Never Again!) because it looked like a great chair from the website and full-page ads in New Mobility. LONG story short, I refused to accept the chair the day it was delivered for many reasons, and was told there would be a restocking fee of 20% - no problem. We recovered a couple thousand dollars, then waited and waited and waited only to receive court documents that the company was filing bankruptcy. Well, they're obviously STILL in business with over $10,000 belonging to my family, which we will never see again.
I wound up getting a Quickie 646 SE and LOVE it. It doesn't stand, but oh well. It's exactly what I need. If you want to stand badly enough, look into standing frames! If any of you missed my documentary on Discovery Health called Paralyzed and Pregnant, it will air again on July 31st at 9:00 PM, August 1st at 12:00 AM, and August 4th at 1:00 PM, all EST. My son, Pierce, is now 21 months old, runs around like a mad man getting into everything possible, and loves chasing his Toy Poodle, Duke. I am still suffering from orthostatic hypotension, and continue to baffle the medical community. I have posted some pictures at: www.myspace.com/michellecarston Good luck in your quest to find the right chair for you! ~Michelle Carston C-5/6 from diving into a sandbar in the ocean in 1993 Mommy to Pierce Michael, born 10/25/05 via natural delivery From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Redman wheelchair opinions please i live in phoenix and took my 10 year old manual chair to them to fix it under their 'lifetime' warranty. they laughed and asked just how long i thought a 'lifetime' warranty should last anyway. that was just the tip of an ugly iceberg. better to avoid redman. dave In a message dated 7/18/2007 8:30:14 A.M.

I live in WI and have a redman standing powerchair for three years now. But only seen a tech 2 times at $500.00+ a visit. If it breaks down they will send parts but YOU have to get them on. If you live near Arazona service might be better. I have trouble with not enough tourqe when needed. There answer is to turn up acceleration. The chair works good but service sucks here again your location is everthing. Tom c3-4 1998 _____ Ready for the edge of your seat?
