You can press the buttons of the power-remote to control the lift or recline of the recliner chair, which means you can get any position you want, whether it's reclining 180 degrees or lifting. The lift chair is powered by electric dual motor mechanism, so it can recline nearly 180 degrees. The dual motor push the entire chair up, working smoothly and silently to help the elderly stand up easily. It's also ideal for people who have balance problems with legs or back, or who after surgery.
