The 9188 EWT500 is a heavy duty power lift recliner rated to 500 lbs. It is the tall version of the 9188 design, with a clean panel-stitched back, padded pillow arms and a single-panel seat. A longer seat and extended footrest give taller users full leg support. It is sized for roughly 5'8" to 6'7".
Three motors run the chair. Two 400 lb motors drive the footrest and the lift together, for 800 lbs of combined force. Twin lift rods carry the load on both sides of the frame. A third motor powers the backrest independently, so the back and footrest can be set separately.
The chair is built for heavier daily use. It has 45-density high-resilience all-foam cushioning, an upgraded hardwood frame and a reinforced steel frame. The footrest steel plate is 5 mm (0.2") thick, up from 3 mm (0.12") in the 1st generation. When extended, the footrest sits about 2" (5 cm) higher than the 1st generation. The chair reclines to 165°. Lumbar heat and back massage are included, and the lift assist brings the user to standing.
