Which is better for back and shoulder pain?

The Pride VivaLift! Radiance has three heated pads in the shoulders, lumbar and seat, plus power lumbar. The Artemis II has adjustable lumbar but no heat. For warmth-based relief, the Pride is the stronger pick.

Neither maker publishes a motor or frame life figure here. Both use battery backup and a steel lift mechanism typical of this class. The Artemis II adds a SmartTek Diagnostic System that reports faults, which can make repairs easier.

Is the Pride worth about $1,200 more?

Only if heat and FDA Class II status matter to you. At $1,838 at Walmart versus $620 at My Lift Chair as of November 5, 2026, the Artemis II covers lift, recline, lumbar and charging for far less.

Which fits a taller person?

The Artemis II. It comes in Medium-Large for 5'7" to 6'2". The Pride Radiance is sold in a small size only.

Do both have battery backup for power outages?

Yes. Both list a battery backup so the lift and recline still work during an outage.

Which has more built-in conveniences?

The Artemis II adds a cup holder, a removable table and a removable LED reading light. The Pride counters with heated pads and a wireless charging station.
