After I got stuck in it with a fortunately short outage. I got my first power recliner after I had an operation on my right shoulder - the recliner I'd been sleeping in had its lever on the right and I couldn't operate it. (Sleeping in a recliner relieves the pressure on a damaged shoulder).

When I had my knees replaced, I could not push down on the foot part to sit the chair back up so I got a power recliner. Still have it - and inherited the power lift recliner we bought for my Mom. The lift recliner was a life saver after my hernia operation last fall - I could not get up out of bed or the other non-lift recliner due to the amount of work they did on my abdomen.
