hey thanks everybody for watching today i'm with allstar medical my name's kevin brown
and we're going to talk about the zoomer and the zinger these are two of the most
popular chairs that you're going to see on the market right now because of their portability um
they're a little different in the way you drive but they're very similar in most every other
aspect other than just the way you drive so you've probably heard the word zinger a lot zinger is
the one that you're seeing out on the market everywhere it um it was the original version
what you have here is a power chair that can be folded up just by reaching down
you're folding it up it's a total of 10 inches
width-wise and it weighs 47 pounds so really nice easy to fold up and easy to pop apart
when you sit in this chair what i like to tell people it's got a
foot plate that can be moved so when you get out or get in it doesn't actually interfere
getting in and out of the chair so you put your feet up here you have your armrests here they
do not detach or anything like that but they have a different drive mechanism and what we have here
is a button that you push and then you can adjust speed it shows your battery life and
everything right here on this so it's a trigger setting and as i'm sitting here driving you will
see i can drive around like this and i have another handle on this side that helps me
spin okay so that's how this system works you kind of drive it what i call like a skid steer or
a bobcat or something of that nature that's how that one works does come with a padded seat
it's a lithium battery that is airline approved
um and you know it's got a little basket underneath that really comes in handy to
put stuff in so it's got a lot of great features it is a different drive system than most anything
on the market today uh but the portability side is what is key so what they've done is this is
the original one the zinger but they've also come out and just changed the name to the zoomer
which is more of the traditional style power wheelchair which has the joystick
that you see in most power chairs the common joystick here um really like this
version again 300 pound weight capacity still going to be able to pull this lever right here
and just so you can see that's what folds down right there and i can pick it up
and i can roll it with me okay so everything again is really easy to deal with
this has actually two batteries right now there's one in the basket underneath here
but if i want to take the battery out this is your battery so it saves you a couple pounds if you're
transporting i think it's like three and a half pounds is what this battery is again super easy
to install you have a locking mechanism you also have on the back side here where you can unlock
the motors and disengage them where you can push this if you did run out of battery life
you're probably going to get around 8 to 10 hours of drive time on something like this i
always tell people a lot of times what you're dealing with is how much does the individual
way that's sitting in this and what terrain you're going over i'm not a huge fan of telling somebody
this will go eight or ten miles in reality don't know a lot of customers that we've been selling
to that ever go eight or ten miles it's just not something that happens now it can do that
but i usually go it's all based on how much that individual weighs and what the terrain
they're going over one of the things i wanted to also show was on this version here it says
that the width seat width dimensions are 16 by 13. but that's the actual padded seat portion there
it's actually between the arms it's 19 and a half so you've got plenty of room in here i'm
around 210 and 5 8. so i've got plenty of room to sit in here and sit in this chair
it's a push button remote joystick you can adjust your speed
and then 25 inches as far as a the turn the ability to turn just like i'm doing there
it's got a very tight turning radius drives really easy
you can put the joystick on the right or left so it doesn't matter so you can do that but
it's a great device it works really well in the portability side you can actually put this behind
a seat in a vehicle so if you really want to put this in the back seat it folds up so tight that um
you can easily put it in the back seat you don't even have to put this in the trunk of a
car if you don't need to i think the fold folding width on on the zoomer is actually 12 inches so
give you an idea the height is 12 inches the length is 26 and the overall width is 25 inches so
it's going to make it through any pretty much door frame in any household that you're dealing with
