1) yes both the seat and lid are slow closing. 2) its very comfortable, im a larger man (240) and my wife (140) and i think it is very comfy. 3) the batteries are easy to change with the quick release hinges, just pop up the covers that are on top of the screws and pull forward, removing the seat.

I can't answer due to the fact that I returned it ...the battery compartment door wouldn't stay closed and would fall off before you could even attempt to install the seat.

Yes, nether the seat nor lid slam. I have had the non-lighted version for 5 years and had no complaints about the comfort. The batteries were easy to install.

Both are slow closing. The seat is not flat like most it's raised on the outside edge so it's a little different and takes a little getting used to. You have to take the seat off the toilet to access the batteries.

We use both of ours daily, but have not had them long (2-3 months). So far...no visible wear and they are still very comfortable. If I had a choice, the only thing I would like more is one more level of reclining (full reclining). The two current reclining levels (there is also an upright level) are nice, but a full recline would be superb. We have no regrets.

Great Questions. I have had mine for almost a year. I use it several times a week and it is great. It charges in little sunlight. I experienced discharge of battery and replaced the battery after a year ( keeping in mind I used it on a daily basis but I let it sit for about 4 months). My suggestion is to remove the battery for long term storage or when you need to use it or only putting battery in once every month to recharge if needed. I have found it very useful when camping, in the office, and in power outages for getting emergency alerts when the power goes out. From my understanding you should be able to find a replacement battery (only one needed) on amazon for around $10 (Ambient Weather WR-BATT 3.7V / 800 mAh Rechargeable Battery (LIR123A)) . One of the reasons I chose this unit is because the rechargeable battery could be changed. Allot of these rechargeable type units the battery can not be changed. But overall the reception is good, all the charging options are included with the unit, the unit recharges small electronics, and it is compact and lightweight. The volume is not overly loud, some may want a louder unit but i think it is loud enough. I would recommend this unit if you are looking at alternatives like this one for a reasonable price.

We went from a regular one to this one. It has taken a bit to get used to. My husband can get off the bed in the morning and i can't telll that he has been up. The same is true when I get up in the middle of the night. The dog can even get up and you not feel it. I really like ours. It has taken probally a good three weeks to get used to. My husband has lower back pain and we got this one to help with that. It seems to help a little he is not in as much pain any more. If you would like me to be more specific please let me know and I will try and answer it in a different way:)

This chair is very, very comfortable, even after a few hours. I will say, if you're not real nimble and have to get up and down a lot, it can be troublesome because you have to almost roll off and the push up from a kneeling position. The chair has held up very well in the year I've owned it. The ratchet positioning still works great and no signs of wearing out. My ONLY complaint is that over time, the cushioning in the area where the seat meets the back (where your butt sits) has compressed, so that now when I sit in it, I can feel a bar under my butt. I now have to us a thin pillow in that area to be more comfortable. If they could improve this one area, (maybe memory foam?) it would be perfect!

The battery life is very good. I've been using it a couple of months now. I'm still using the furnished batteries. It has an on-off switch which would save on batteries even more, but I never remember to turn it off. It's very comfortable to use. I'm extremely pleased with it.

I'm still on my first set of batteries I put in it (2 AAs) and I'm amazed they've lasted this long. I've been using it off-and-on both day and night. The other night I fell asleep with it on and expected the batteries to be dead in the morning. They're still going! I turn the radio off when commercials come on so I'm sure that helps, but still, I've been pleased with battery life for this radio.

The chair doesn't recline, and the back has very little give, just the natural flex of the chair's frame. It's a comfortable chair, but with one major flaw, at least in mine: It tends to lower itself, often with no one in the seat. There must be a leaky valve in the piston. It's very annoying.[After reading the other answers, I wonder if there are two models of this chair: The adjusting knob on mine seems to do nothing at all. I've tried it tightened all the way, loosened all the way with no difference.]

Hi, I just bought a battery and had no issues with any problems you mentioned. Sometimes, it may be hard to get the batter out, but a tap on a firm, but soft surface (like your padded seat) will get it out. I get about 2.5 hours out of the battery but, hey, it was $18.

I have not replaced and have had for a few months. That is why we replaced the one we had before (not this kind) it ate batteries every few day. Have not had problem with this one at all. Very pleased with this mouse!!

I've been using mine off and on for a couple of months now, daily as it is. And I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I think it takes triple a though! Just use it and see for yourself. I wouldn't use it for hours at a time, my main usage of it is minutes here and there!! Hope this helps ya!!!

I actually ordered a more squishy one based on another reviewer's advice, but returned it as the original seat was comfortable to me. My daughter and friend also had no complaints. I weigh less than 150lbs, so don't know if that is a factor.

I'm getting used to the seat.It's hard,not comfortable,but other than that getting good workouts on the bike.Riding daily since November 2013.Overall I recommend it despite the seat issue.

Its a great chair but the positioning of your legs while sitting will cut off circulation. The padding is good except for where you rest your legs, a little too much padding. I would not recommend it for more than 3-4 hours of sitting.

Yes it comfortable the only problem I have with the bike is that it squeaks. Also,i have to steer the handle in the opposite direction for it to move or turn. It's very annoying.

I'm sorry, I don't know; I like the seat. But....since my original review, I would like to add that my odometer keeps resetting. I put in new batteries but that doesn't help so I am now having some reservations about the reliability of the computer.

It is comfortable but not for long sittings....its in our den just as extra chairs. Pretty small too not for the plus size person. Nice though.
