We've recently introduced a couple of new portable shower chairs designed specifically to help disabled individuals travel more easily and comfortably. Please take a look at them at www.GoesAnywhere.com.

I invented the Go-Anywhere portable commode, shower/tub chair because I needed a chair I could travel with but was unable to find anything that wasn't junk.

We'll be exhibiting at the Abilities Expo being held next weekend at the Minneapolis Convention Center if you're in the are and would care to see our stuff. Otherwise, we'd be happy to send you a free DVD if you'd like to see how it works. Just log on to the website and click on the DVD link.

Wishing everyone a very happy and SAFE Labor Day weekend.

You obviously don't know squat! In FACT, 55' lineal feet of telescoping, aircraft-grade aluminum tubing and bar is required to build each of our chairs and there are over 200 individual parts which must be cut, drilled, welded, anodized, assembled and tested before it can be stored in a $200 custom-made wheeled case, boxed and shipped. You should be ashamed of yourself for being such an ignoramus and making assenine statements about something which you obviously know absolutely nothing about.

ok i may have been off on my estimation a little, but how do you expect people to pay for that. My insurance would never pay for that an i have 3 different ones. they didn't even pay for my shower chair or toilet seat they said it was not an necessity, now Im sure its nice but until that price goes down the average person will be stuck dragging there own stuff around. o an i didn't know it cost anything to test a seat lol

I'd have to agree that $1795 for what you are offering is out of line & I think any roll along case should do the job. It also doesn't have wheels that you can push so you have to rely on someone to push you around, not my cup of tea as I would prefer to be as independant as possible & not have to rely on others.

Your response to the other fellow was not exactly professional either. I little criticism hardly deserved a personal attack like the one you made.

Designing, developing, testing, and marketing a product that is better than the "junk" that's out there, might tend to make one a bit defensive when their work is maligned by someone who claims knowledge, but is obviosly lacking.

That being said,,the term "Ignoramus" , may not have been appropriate even if the statements made were "assinine".

As we all "know", on the internet, anyone can say they "know" anything.

As for prices,,,20 pounds of aluminum equals $5000 ( w/c), 7 pounds of rubber and air equals $450 (Roho), 1/4 ounce of carbon equals $12000 (diamond).

A price isn't what something is worth,, it's what the traffic will bear.

If you want something and don't like the price,,,,build it yourself and see how that works for you.

If you're into comparing such things, check out this site's shower chair.

It's pretty much the same and goes for nearly twice the price.

www.nuprodx.com

Like everything else we need to get along, it costs an arm and a leg,,,,,I can't afford the arm.

Yeah kind of shows up the inflated price of the go anywhere product.
Nice design though.

Zammo sorry about the football situation.
If it don't make sense I blame the voice typing software misunderstanding me not my failure to listen in English classes!
