Adjustamatic Riser Recliner Chairs
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 cost 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.

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. 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. |

Adjustamatic Riser Recliner Chairs
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 right. When we bought one for my mother the girl at sales mixed up her info about 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 and it was £1400, however once he realised the sale was going to fall through and his journey was wasted a quick phone call to his " manager" secured 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"
