The chair seems to be well made. It is easy to raise and lower the seat and to lock the whells. At first I thought plugging the charger into the chair would be a challenge but once one learns where the spot to plug it in is, it is a snap. It does take some time to figure out how to move the back rest but once learned that is also easy to do. The arms are comfortable.

My wife has normal pressure hydrocephalus, which makes it vey hard for her to walk on her own. It also gives her terrible balance. I bought a Tango 200E for her in April 2022, and while it did the job, the Tango 700E is better in every way. It’s like comparing a made from scratch prototype to a finished product. The 700 is far more solid; the 200 always had something loose or a little misaligned. Installing the push bar on the 700 was a breeze. On the 200 it practically required an engineering degree – and still wasn’t right. The 700 motor is also much quieter. You have to listen carefully to realizes it’s running. And they’ve enlarged the backrest, and given it greater side support. The wheels on the 700 are also arger, so it's better on carpet. All in all a terrific device.

Chair as advertised. I haven't had a chance to use it much. I'm waiting for a couple strong men to move it to another floor. User handbook doesn't say anything about the type of batteries used. I finally found a video on how to access them.

I was excited to receive my new Enable chair — it is awesome. I love how the brake stops me immediately when brake is engaged — chair doesn’t budge. The wheels are quiet and it is so easy to walk the chair. I want to commend your employee, Caitlyn, who was on top of things starting with my first question; and even when she was sick, she was very prompt to respond to my questions and resolve my problems. Caitlyn was always pleasant; made me feel like she loves her job and wanted to please me, the customer. Caitlyn’s boss and the company are very fortunate to have such a steadfast, thorough employee. She is a model employee which is a rare find today. I appreciate all her help. Thank you Enable Me for making my life easier.

I purchased the Vela chair as I have a very small alcove between a hallway and the entrance to the master bedroom. A typical wheelchair can’t make the turn as the back wheels don’t rotate. Not being able to see the vela chair before purchasing,I purchased an office chair with a wheel base the same as the vela chair. It worked, but the wheelbase kept rotating and was just physically difficult for me to push and keep it straight. My husband was 6’2” before being hunched over by Parkinson’s and has a lot of issues with freezing and not being able to move. He finds this chair a little high for him to scoot and thinks that feature might work better if it was the lower chair, but likes the added height that actually lets him look down on things at the counter height eating area. I use the push bar and the foot rest and easily push him into the bedrooms and two bathrooms if he can’t move fast enough. The pushbar does interfere with the mechanism that lets the seat swivel to the left when the brake is on, but works ok if it is off. This has enabled me to avoid alterations to entryways that maybe would have worked, and the frustration of dealing with a company that didn’t really respond like Vela does.
