I really hate my Paiseec W1 power chair.

(Semi-hysterical vent, but I can't lay this on my family, because they were so generous.)

Oh my god, this thing sucks. It's very difficult to fold, the controls are touchy and terrible, and and the frame is so weird that no accessories fit on it.

I was already worried about the 16" seat depth, and then discovered that it's actually 15". My new custom manual is 18". No matter what I try, I'm uncomfortable as hell.

The joystick/controls are awful. My arm must have slightly brushed against it, because it suddenly jumped forward and slammed me kneecaps first into a heavy wood table in a restaurant. I'm not exaggerating, either. I hit so hard that the table scooted four feet, everything on top fell down, and the latch holding the fold-up leaves broke. It was painful, and humiliating.

Y'll, this thing is so hateful. My mom and I had plans to day, but had to cancel after spending over an hour in the driveway trying to get this stupid chair to fold, and then trying to wrestle it into my car. There are no places to grab it, the wheels won't turn, and it's a big, bulky mess. The supposed 36 lb weight feels like 100.

I hate this stupid, stupid chair so much, and I'm stuck with it. There's no way I can ask my family to help me buy a different one, and I couldn't find one light enough, anyway. I was so excited, thinking I had gotten some of the world back, and now it's all just slammed right back shut.
