I use a Bounder, 21st Century. I've had it for 3 years with just a few bugs
in the first 6 months. It is completely silent which is what I wanted. And
they are the only motorized chair manufacturer I know of that make their
own recliner (a must). The one I ordered is low shear which I prefer. It is
quite fast 8 mph. The only drawback for me was the fact that the motors
have very little torque. However, I'm told the new ones have much more.

Dan, bounding.
