Power reiner sofas... help!

[coopsjc21]

Hi
Looking at getting some new sofas and was considering power recliners with the battery packs. Before spending £5-6k on them though was looking for a little help & guidance.

1. Are power reclining sofas generally reliable? If they go wrong are they hard or expensive to repair?

2. Are the batteries worth it? Not near a socket so having them mains power means extension leads across the floor.

Do the batteries last long on a single charge? Are they a nuisance to remove, charge and replace?

Thanks!

In laws have plug in electric reclining sofa's and chairs with built in USB sockets and they've been trouble free for many years.

They may have bought from Furniture Village.

Thanks. It was a few in Furniture Village we were looking at.

Battery packs add around £100 to the cost of each sofa. DFS claim theirs will do 150 reclines before needing to be charged... probably nearer 100 then. I'd say we'd use it no more than 10 times a week so we'd be looking at 10-15 weeks use before a recharge is due?
