Top End Terminator Titanium Everyday

I ordered this chair with:

Fold down adjustable height back without push handles

Adjustable tension back upholstery (no strap)

Bolt on push handles

Adjustable camber system (0/3 deg)

Adjustable angle footplate

Folding side guards, even with wheels

Undermount wheel locks (chair was delived with push to lock wheel locks)

Bead blast frame

The good:

The chair has a very short wheelbase and excellent turning and handling. The frame alone is quite light, but of course once loaded up with wheels/cushion/bags/etc gets heavier.

The adjustable camber tube is reversible end-for-end, very easy to switch (you need an allen wrench) and is pretty much foolproof thanks to positive indexing.

The footplate has two fore/aft positions, so you can play the footplate position off against the leg hangar angle.

The wheel locks are excellent - much better leverage than the Quickie version, more positive locking. They are mounted low, near the castors, so you do have to be able to bend over.

The minimalist frame is easy to get into the car without putting the seat back all the way down.

The not-so-good:

The back upholstery adjustability is provided by two velcro flaps, which really isn't very adjustable. The $100 adjustable strap option would probably be better.

The bolt on push handles are held on by one screw each, tension only (there are no detents or holes for the screws to slot into), and they come loose very easily. Given that most people think the handles are something you can actually hold on to or even lift by, I think this is a potential safety issue.

The footrest assembly (lower part of the leg hanger) is held on the same way and may fall out if the screws loosen.

The back height cannot be adjusted without taking off the side guards, since the push button is covered by the side guards when in place.

Many thanks to Jocelyn for this review of the Top End Terminator Titanium Suspension (Invacare)

Good Points

nice and light - with titanium frame and spinergy (carbon-fibre) wheels, it's a tight, well-tuned ride.

The suspension adds a bit of cushion which helps with my spasticity. I like how the titanium looks as well.

Bad Points

T

he side guards are dumb. The come loose a lot, just not very well thought out.

I've never really found a footplate that I like.

Comments

I've had three chairs of this model now and I really like them - but! they are only for users who know exactly how they want to sit, because there is NO adjustability. You should only get a full custom chair if you have been sitting a certain way for quite a long time.

What would score it out of ten?
