I just came back from a 16 day cruise. My zinger turned heads and their comments on “how cool it is! Honestly I think if I had 10 of them I could’ve sold them. I was in a restaurant and a man took pictures of it because he thought his aunt could benefit from one. I feel like a rock star when I am in it. P

Received zinger and so very glad. This is ricks second zinger. We had the first one for 5/6 years. It is still able to be used but wanted one that looked in a little better condition. It has enabled Rick to attend many functions such as grandkids baseball, football and basketball games. Easy to load into jeep or van. Thank you
- CGChuck G.Verified ReviewerReviewingJourney Zinger® Folding Power ChairI recommend this productProduct Standouts Easy to Travel With, Lightweight, Easy to Maneuver, ComfortableRated 5 out of 5 starsOctober 13, 2024The Zinger chair has changed my life
100% disabled veterans , I have a small car with little trunk space with no room behind the seat . For years my care giver would have to walk from the parking lot to retrieve a wheelchair to push me around the VA hospital.
Now we drive to the parking lot she can unload the Zinger chair , help me into the chair . From that point on I’m able to transport myself around the hospital. Thank you Zinger
