Does the Yandel lift you all the way to standing?

It tilts the seat forward and raises you to a near-standing position, but you still push off with your legs and arms. It is an aid, not a full transfer lift.

How much room does it need behind it?

Plan for several inches of clearance behind the backrest so it can recline fully. The chair is 40 inches deep upright and about 69 inches long when fully reclined.

Does it need to be plugged in?

Yes. The lift and recline run on a power motor, so it needs a nearby outlet. There is no manual backup recline on this model.

Is it good after knee or hip surgery?

It is a common choice for recovery because the lift helps you stand without straining. Check the 20-inch seat height and 19-inch seat width against your body first.

How does it compare with a basic manual recliner?

It adds a powered lift and recline, a heavier metal frame and a higher seat. A manual recliner is lighter and cheaper but gives no standing assistance.

What is the upholstery like?

It is a solid saddle-brown fabric over high-resiliency foam wrapped in poly fiber. It is easy to wipe clean but not leather.
