Zinger Chair

The chair was purchased for my husband who has mobility issues due to MS; thought it would assist in him getting around the house and outside. However he did not find it easy to operate. He wanted me to see about returning it but since it's past the 14 days we're stuck with it and out the cost of the chair that will never be used by him. It might be a good option for some but not for anyone that has mobility and/or memory issues. Sometimes 14 days is not enough time to evaluate a product.

After two years I like and recommend BUT this can't be a full-time chair. Driving with two hands is fun. Really fun actually and nimble and intuitive. But carrying things when doing so is a challenge. So it's not great for home. But the worst is that you can't go anywhere when the ground is wet. Sit and spin. I'd pay more for this device if it had bigger, better rear wheels and a bit more power. The backup beep is annoying AF. I'm disabled - not a dump truck. I'm now driving a Falcon for travel which is slower and janky but more powerful.

On level ground the ZInger Chair is pretty good.

It is very dangerous when trying to drive it down or up a ramp, especially where turns are involved.

It's not going to happen.

Why? Unless you are pulling up on the direction levers the chair is in neutral - no control whatsoever.

Think about that!

Plus both tires require 42lbs of pressure - lose pressure, you can lose control and not everyone has an air compressor handy.

So with the pandemic its been hard getting my Zinger repaired. My next step is that since I have the replacement caster wheel assembly, but no idea on how to put it on until I'm able to get to a "bicycle repair shop" I'm just going to have a friend drill out the broken part from the wheel and the fork and make a temporary attachment to each other. Since this is the broken wheel no harm no foul.

I am very pleased with my Zinger it's lightweight and I can go just about anywhere I'm so glad I saw the commercial but I was much more pleased when I actually got to use it, this is an awesome piece of equipment And I believe that anyone who purchases it will be very satisfied as well.

My husband bought me this chair as my walking was getting bad with MS. Once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to operate, however you will slide all over the place if it's wet and since I live in Seattle, the epi center for rain, this is problematic to say the least. But if you take it very slow you should de okay! The battery life is iffy and you run out of juice pretty quickly.

The Zinger chair has enabled me to go anywhere in my home with ease. I am a paralyzed veteran of Vietnam, and I cannot walk on my own. Previously, I got around with a Walker. That was so awkward and inefficient. I have fallen many times and could not get up on my own. As a 91 year old man, I now have my life back with the Zinger. I will be able to visit the new US Army Museum that will open on November 11, Veterans Day. The Zinger will enable me to make the visit.

I received my chair as a gift, thinking it would help relieve strain on my shoulders. Don't get me wrong its a really neat electrical chair. But since I've gotta use either my crutches, wheelchair, or walker. Using this isn't able to maneuver if there's a high slope on sidewalks or driveways. I've tried so unless someone is with me to hold myself up then be seated again. All in all it's fun and in order to use I'd need an able bodied person with me to use

I recently purchased a Zoomer and so far I'm very satisfied. (The Zinger requires 2 hands to operate so I would avoid that one) The only issue I have encountered is getting off the elevator, the gap on the floor was wide enough that the front tires slipped in. Very concerning so be careful, I am surprised that issue wasn't identified sooner, wider front tires should prevent that from happening.

I just got my Zinger and I have to say that it has met all my expectations and much more. It has really opened up a new world for me. I love the freedom it gives me especially when I am dealing with a great deal of pain! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a reliable very well thought out, and built fun mobility vehicle.

What a difference my Zinger has made for me. It has allowed me to continue to be active as much as possible. I'm 80 years old and can still go with my family. Thanks Zinger!

I bought a Zinger a few years and had nothing but trouble not only do I have to purchase rear wheel at least twice a year, but bolts and parts are easily lost. I bought the Warrenty and need your company to fess up to your guarantee, and fix my chair. This chair cost me more than I make in Medicare, and you need to take responsibility in your product, and company does not take responsibility. Had to buy an extra battery in order to meet my needs, just horrible

I have a Zoomer, not a Zinger. The chair is A+ for mobility and use, but F on design. It's bottom-heavy due to the motor and battery. The anti-tip wheel casters stick out further than the rear wheels, even when they're all the way in. They touch the ground first and they're only held on by cast aluminum, they snap really easily if the weight of the chair rests on them. There's no easy way to replace them, they're part of the rear wheel mount. I've broken one completely off by taking it out of a car - I set it down and just the weight of the chair snapped the caster. They need to be made completely removeable for transport. Other than that, I love the chair. I wish it were easier to buy parts for.

My grandfather is on oxygen and I purchased this for him because pushing a normal wheel chair began to be too difficult for him. He loves the speed and comfort of the Zinger chair! He even has me looking for a "backup mirror" for his new "toy."! Haha.
He has been able to spend more time in the living room with the family which is a true blessing from God. The Lord Jesus has given my grandfather comfort in these last moments of his here on Earth and I'm grateful that this chair has provided an easier way for us to spend time with him!

It works! This was the best choice I've made. I would recommend it to anyone who has a hard time walking. My friend can get it in and out of the car with little effort.

I JUST CALLED THE SO CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER.
ABSOLUTELY THE RUDEST PERSON I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

NOT FDA APPROVED?
NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE?

WHAT IS IT?
SOUNDS LIKE A TOTAL SCAM

Loved the chair, but it didn't work for me. It was too hard to read The hand control buttons, the are low on the side (I have neck issues). So I sent it back to the tune of $122 in shipping. So make sure you really want it or the shipping fees will be very expensive which they don't tell you when ordering. They probably won't post this to their site because it seems they only post the positive only comments.

To disconnect annoying reverse beeb take out screws, open control handle and disconnect the white wire coming from chip with square speaker attached. It can be reattached if wanted. Beep button still works manually.
Just found out there is a "Zoomer" chair that uses a joy stick instead of double handles. I wish I had known about this chair earlier. Double handles does a workout on your hands and arms. Could be a positive or a negative.

My father 90 yrs old wanted this chair so bad. He has a 3 wheel scooter that he was using for getting groceries at the store because their chairs are too slow for his taste. We purchased the zinger chair and he has loved it because it has a great back that lets him recline and the handles make it fun to use. We get stopped by so many people in the store I am always talking about this chair to everyone and I printed out a page from their website to carry around with me so I can show them and let my voice relax :)

Had my Zingerfor 3 days it is the best wheel chair ever made! 1 All the medical sdtaff say they never have seen a better chair!

I just received the Zinger today but I am going to return it. I find it very complicated to manoeuvre around the house. Diana.

Have COPD, out of breath fast.
Large stores beyond my short range.
The Zinger has changed my life.
It not only enables mobility, it's really fun to drive.
I live on social security and the price was a stretch, but worth it!
Very pleased

This chair makes it so much easier to get around. I was having problems using a manual wheelchair on my carpet. I just wasn't strong enough to keep pushing myself around all day. The Zinger Chair drives right through with no problem. Thanks Zinger.
