- Does the lift chair need to be plugged in?
- Yes. The lift and recline motors run on household power, so the chair needs an outlet within reach of its cord. It will not lift or recline during a power outage.
- How much room does it need behind it?
- Plan for several inches of clearance behind the backrest so it can recline and lift without hitting the wall. Measure your space before buying; this is a large chair.
- Is the headrest adjustable separately?
- Yes. The power headrest moves independently of the backrest, so you can set your head angle for reading or TV while the chair is reclined.
- Is it good for someone recovering from surgery?
- It is a common choice for hip and knee recovery because the lift helps you stand without pushing off the arms. Check the weight limit and seat height against the user's needs.
- How does it compare with a cheaper lift chair?
- The Oscar uses Flexsteel's steel spring seat and hardwood frame, which owners say outlast the foam seats and lighter frames on budget lift chairs. The trade-off is more weight and a larger footprint.
- What is included with the chair?
- The chair, its power lift and recline motors, the power headrest and the hand control come together. Assembly is mostly attaching the back, and the chair is heavy enough to need two people.
