I have now used my Jazzy 1170 XL for close to two years. I love this chair. It is powerful enough to move my 335 pounds to almost anywhere I want to go. It will go up very steep grades, and is excellent on dirt trails — though you do need to get used to balancing yourself. In addition to me, we load it up with a food bag, pads for my wife and kids, and a large Camelback for me. That is at least 30 extra pounds. Also, we sometimes have my E Oxygen bottle on their when we are going to be away longer than the pulse OX b or C bottles will last.
I self-funded this chair to restore my mobility with my family on outings. With the obvious exception of stairs, it has taken me with them on trips and picnics. Then I started using this mobility to enjoy my neighborhood, shopping etc.
I think I may have damaged my right axle this last trip. I was bouncing over some rocks going to Steamboat Geyser, and have since noticed a clunk each revolution of the wheel when it is under load. But to be fair to the chair — this was a steep area with several large rocks on the trail, and Yellowstone has the trail listed as not being accessable, but that is not enough to stop me. This chair goes and goes.
When this chair gives up the ghost, I will look for another 1170XL and that should show how highly I rate it.
