Hi - my first post!
I've been using Cyclone MTM chairs for the last 17 years. I'm due to change and was planning to go for a da Vinci Leggera but I've been given the option of a Kuschall Airlite by my local NHS office. I'm due to try it out later this week but I wondered if anyone has any experience of either chair that they were willing to share.
I have tried the Leggera and was quite impressed with the "feel" and responsiveness of it. The Kuschall gets good reviews in the States but I can't find many UK users.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

Hi Norm - I have the Kuschall K4 airlite (Ipresume this is the one you meant) which was paid for by my local authority. I find this a good clight hair with plenty of adjustability.

The only thing I would have done differently is I would have gone for the vario-axle with it, which is an adjustable camber bar, that can be adjusted while you are still sitting in the chair.

Incidentally, has anybody seen the quickir helium in the flesh yet or even tried it? If so what do you think?
