Wheelchair Review - TDX SP

Chair Type: Outdoor class 3 powerchair

The TDX SP is the undisputed king of all powerchairs! I love this chair! I managed to buy this one virtually new for about £500 from eBay, later my husband tried to modify the chair and ruined it. At the time my husband was struggling with depression and I was struggling with impatient desperation caused by a combination of severe pain and autism so I couldn't wait...and sold it!

I've had three TDX's and these are the king of all chairs although they do have some weaknesses and there are some reasons personal to me why I probably would not buy one again.

Who is the TDX for? Someone wanting a heavy-duty all-day configurable chair with big battery life.


Good points about the TDX:

• Powerful chair 
• Thousands of ways to configure this chair 
• Comfortable 
• Great for an all-day chair 
• fantastic outdoor performance 
• Small turning circle 
• Good for public transport 
• Will never ever topple! (ever) 

Not so good points about the TDX

• Will crush anyone's foot who gets in the way 
• Heavy so check weights for lifts, WAV's etc 
• Will always get stuck in the gravel 
• Not great if you love off-road adventures as it's too heavy to get out of trouble 
• Not easy to transport 
• Has annoying arms 

I've owned 3 TDX's one which went up in the air. I sometimes work around children or vulnerable adults. I have also had a number of bad experiences with chairs so although this was the right wheelchair to get me back into a chair (it will never topple!) it was not the right chair for me long-term as I do love my freedom!
