Has anyone purchased one of these recently. I do have an electric recliner chair, but have been having some problems actually getting out of it recently, and thought of getting a riser/recliner.
The differences in prices is incredible, ranging from a few hundred pounds to a few thousand!!!
Had one 'salesman' here this morning, demontrating the Grosvenor chairs. Very nice, but very expensive.
See that CareCo sell them for under a grand,
So, is buying cheaper, going to be more expensive in the long run.
I want one with a dual motor, so that the back and the legs can operate separately.
Anyone purchased one of these recently and has any thoughts and recommendations?

As others have said riser chairs are outrageously expensive new, there are plenty advertised second hand for a fraction of the cost. They are heavy, you will need a couple of strong men to move them.

Main problem with getting a second had one, is the size may not be suitable for you. width between arm rests, heigh, feet need to be firmly and flat on floor before starting the riser. I also need something for my neck and also for my lumbar region.

When I consider that I spend most of my waking hours in this chair, I do not think that the high cost is too much.

We took MIL to HSL. The sales person was very patient and non pushy. Wanted to make sure the chair was the right width, depth , height etc. Good choice of fabrics too. Not cheap but she is very pleased with it.
