Affordable mobility aids from ex-display stock.
Ex-display mobility and living aids have been used in stores for demonstration. Items such as walking frames, bath lifts, rise-recline chairs, and scooters have been tried by customers and staff. They are fully functional but may show signs of handling – light scuffing on handles, minor scratches on frames, or worn upholstery on seats.
What to check: test all moving parts – wheels, brakes, and adjustable sections. For electrical items like bath lifts, ensure the battery holds charge and the mechanism operates smoothly. Check straps and belts for fraying. Inspect the frame for any cracks or rust, especially at joints. Also confirm that the product has been PAT tested if applicable. Because these are ex-display, the manufacturer warranty may be reduced, so ask about any guarantee.
The savings can be crucial for those on a fixed income. You get a reliable aid that has already been safety-checked in a retail environment. The cosmetic imperfections do not hinder performance. Buying ex-display means you can afford a higher-spec model for the same money as a basic new one.
