“Terrible design”

I am overweight, so I have the model that is considered bariatric. Problem is, right in front where you need to stand in order to sit down, there is the motor, a huge bulk. Try to step around it, it's almost impossible to do and I'm not that short, 5'6". If the seat swiveled it would be fine, but not an option on this model. So after one day I called and said come get it. Still no word on when.

From the time I called hoveround took care of the entire process from going through my insurance, measuring my home and delivery of the chair. Process took less than two months from the first call. My insurance covered everything and the process was painless. The delivery person for my state was fantastic. Very nice person who treats people well. Chair works fantastic so far. I'd definitely give this company a try.

Tip for consumers:
I didn't use their website. I just looked up their number and called. Very easy process

From the beginning of the entire process to the end, the hoveround team provided all the help I needed
In order to gather the qualifying criteria for my MPV5. They were responsible for all communications with my doctor and his staff. I was immediately informed when my insurance affirmed the approval and my electric chair was delivered the very next day. I am a happy customer.

I have made multiple attempts to contact someone there for a referral for a hover round. The menu keeps looping back to the same original question over and over. Finally, twice, I pressed another key that was not pertinent to my call. Got voice messages both time and no return calls. I won't be referring anymore clients to this company

Their customer service is very nasty and does not criticism very well. You can never get a knowledge responsible representative to actually fix the joystick that is very temperamental and the chair itself runs very slowly outdoors and has a short battery life compared to other chairs. It took weeks to get parts that were told would be here in 5-10 days and when they sent representative of the company, they did not adjust the joystick correctly and with my neuropathy, they have caused me injury while using the chair. I would not recommend this company and I am filing BBB complaint to their state of incorporation Florida and to the State Attorney General in New York and to CMS and Medicare and filing Medical Misconduct report with New York state of Health which along with insurance paid for this contraption

Tip for consumers:
Getting customer service on the phone is very difficult and complaints are handled terribly by customer service

Biggest waste of money in my life! I have absolutely nothing good to say about Hoveround, either the company or the wheelchair! Very 'jerky' when turning especially when pulling forward after backing up or visa versa due to the stupid design of the rear swivel wheels!

Takes forever to get service. Waited for 2 months to get mine serviced and it STILL wasn't right!

Take my advice and buy a GOOD wheelchair like a PRIDE. Can;t go wrong with a PRIDE!

From December to March, to get this settled between your company and my Dr office. Each blaming the other of why not happening, this went on for 3 months. Once all t's were crossed and i's dotted, didn't take long to get the chair. My insurance paid for the chair and 4 year warranty, that was a good plus. Dana that brought the chair was very super helpful, I appreciated his time and expertise about the chair. I'm getting better at controlling the chair after marking the walls, pulling trim away, but I'm getting there. I do love what freedom it has given me.

From the first phone call I made with questions to the actual delivery of my mothers Hoveround I found the service to be very quick. They lead me through the process with kindness and really did all the work to get my mom her much needed chair. I appreciate that!

Mr. Floyd who did my initial appt, and ultimately delivered my chair; gave us above excellent customer service. He was polite and answered our questions precisely and gave us easy to understand instructions for using the chair.

The chair was well made and easy to use. Also it is very comfortable.

I decided to call Hoveround again. The nice lady at Hoveround sent me papers to be filled out by the doctor and then the doctor mailed them to Hoveround, which this was on Feb. 12,2020 when they were filled out and mailed. On Feb. 14,2020 I received a phone call but I couldn't get to in time but thankfully the caller left a message. The lady said, "Dolores Williams we need to get in touch with you to set a time and date when to bring your power chair." I was shocked and at first I thought it was a prank. I was elated, I am actually going to go in stores that I haven't been to in almost three years. On Feb, 25 2020 a man named Dani brought me my chair all the way from Memphis Tn. And took his time to explain everything I needed to know. I was impressed how much he was able to answer all the questions I had for him. He was well dressed, Then it was time to get in the driver's seat and as far as I can tell from his remarks I did very well on my first try.

Thank you so very much
Dolores Williams,

Everyone I had the pleasure of speaking to, was very polite, knowlede! They were also quite friendly. They did not rush me or pressure me. I felt like I was talking to friends.
I truly enjoyed speaking to these wonderful people, they were so patient with me. They even cracked a joke or two. It was wonderful talking to such warm people.
Thank you for putting up with me. Gablei

I was not comfortable with all the confusion during the several contacts and your limits on bringing my P.T. And your insistance on having an app't with my doctor. That has never been asked of her before! My medical advisors recommend cancelling this app't.
