RETAILERS’ CHOICE
Retailers Choice: Magic 360 Powerchair from Sunrise Medical
RETAILERS’ CHOICE PRODUCT OF THE YEAR 2022
“At Lifestyle & Mobility we always seek products that are both innovative and have the ability to enhance customers lives. This year we haven’t seen many new products come to the market, however one supplier which hasn’t stood still is Sunrise Medical. Its new Magic 360 is a mid-wheel drive powerchair like none other on the market. Its unique three set of wheels options allows customers to effectively have three powerchairs in one, just by changing the wheels. “Wheel set one allows the customer to have a powerchair that is compact for indoors use. Wheel set two allows customers to have more of a hybrid use, more outdoor and indoor use. “Wheel set three gives customers the ability to have full all terrain outdoor use. This makes the chair so versatile to the customers’ environmental needs. Often customers that like going off-road will typically purchase two chairs. Not only does this have a huge extra cost element to it. It also means,
more space required at home, then remembering to get both chairs charged and maintained. It’s also a chair that offers a premium comfort suspension with Anti-Pitch technology. “Traditionally when a powerchair comes to a halt on a slope, the stopping motion of the chair will lurch slightly forwards. That’s a problem the Magic 360 has eliminated with anti-pitch technology, so you’re kept safe and stable in your seat. “It’s for all these reasons why the Magic 360 is our favourite product this year.” www.lifestyleandmobility.co.uk

whilst carrying out the most basic of toileting functions. The support with both sales and technical from Closomat has been great and any issues have been resolved straight away. “Whilst the product is not new, there is some real justification in the old saying: ‘If it is not broken, don’t fix it’!”
