Purchasing a power wheelchair can be a very daunting task. The stress associated with choosing the right color, provider, model and manufacturer is very overwhelming. Therefore, when buying a power wheelchair look for name brand manufacturers such as Invacare. These top manufacturers will take care of your equipment in the event the need for repairs is necessary. Lastly, make sure you pick a provider that will help you select the proper wheelchair and returns phone calls. Be wary of providers that points you to a particular wheelchair without asking for at the minimum your weight and height. Never buy a power wheelchair that is equal to or very close to your weight. For instance, if you weigh 280 or 300lbs do not buy a 300lb capacity power wheelchair.
