The 9188E is an extra-wide power lift recliner in top grain leather, rated to 400 lbs and sized for roughly 5'5" to 6'3". Its dual-motor system moves the backrest and footrest independently, so you can stop anywhere between upright and a near-flat recline, and the lift function stands you up. The second generation adds USB-A and USB-C charging, four raised side pockets, a sturdier hardwood and steel frame, and a footrest plate 66% thicker than before. Against typical big-man recliners, the leather upholstery and independent motors stand out; the trade-off is a heavier, bulkier chair that needs clearance behind it for the lift and recline.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 8,865 ratings, buyers largely praise the lift mechanism, the leather feel and the independent back and footrest. Complaints center on the chair's weight and the space it needs.
The 9188E is the extra-wide version of the 9188 power lift recliner. It is upholstered in mid-weight top grain leather, which is supple and breathable. The back is panel-stitched, the pillow arms are softly padded, and the seat is a single panel. It is rated to 400 lbs and sized for roughly 5'5" to 6'3".
This second-generation model has a redesigned hardwood frame for greater structural stability and a reinforced steel frame for heavy-duty daily use. The footrest steel plate is 5 mm (0.2") thick, up from 3 mm (0.12") in the first generation, which makes the footrest more stable under heavier legs. Extended, the footrest sits about 2" (5 cm) higher than before.
Two motors move the backrest and footrest independently. You can hold any position from fully upright to a 180° lay-flat. The lift function raises you smoothly to standing. Lumbar heat and a 4-mode back massage are built in.
