Wheelchairs

I'm trying to buy a new wheelchair; I have an NHS wheelchair, a powered chair that I use at work, and a small scooter that I use a lot by myself - i have a boot hoist in my car, and this gives me my independence.

I would like to replace the scooter, probably with a wheelchair, but I'm going round in circles trying to make a decision. Has anyone experience of any private physio or other service who has some independent knowledge and could help. I find NHS services understandably only know about what they can provide - it would help me enormously to find something with more flexibility than an NHS power chair, and I have some money tucked away I'd like to use for this.

Happy to travel if needed, I want to make a wise purchase!

I want to buy wheelchairs for my grandfather so he suggested me few sites like Spinlife( spinlife.com/Drive-Medical-... ), Hoveround and few more you can check them out they are having excellent products at affordable prices. Hope it helps.
