Start with your everyday priorities
Write down the things you want your next wheelchair to make easier. They might include getting around at home, going out, sitting at different heights, finding a comfortable position or negotiating a particular route.
Then consider practical limits: the space in your home, vehicle access, charging arrangements and who will lift or load the chair. These details help narrow your choice.
M4: everyday self-levelling
The XSTO M4 combines self-levelling control with electric seat lifting and a modular design. Compare the folded dimensions and component weights with your transport needs.
During a demonstration, try the seat-height adjustment and the controls you will use most often. Ask to see how folding and disassembly work in practice.
M4B: a practical variation on the M4
The XSTO M4B builds on the M4 with revised front wheels and a folding footrest. If you are choosing between these two models, try their controls, handling and transfer setup side by side.
Look at the dimensions and total weight as well as the shared technology. Small differences can matter when you are moving through a particular doorway or loading a vehicle.
M4 Pro: more seating adjustment
The M4 Pro offers backrest recline, seat tilt and a different seat-height range. It also has a longer advertised range than the M4. Ask for a seating demonstration and confirm the battery configuration behind the range figure.
Try the adjustments you would use during a typical day and discuss your existing seating requirements with the team.
X12: when stair capability matters
The X12 adds stair-climbing technology and is a substantially heavier chair. If stairs are central to your decision, start with a suitability assessment. If they are not, compare how an M4-series model matches your everyday requirements.
Compare the full cost and support
Check the current chair price, accessories, delivery arrangements and warranty coverage. VAT-relief prices apply only to eligible customers and qualifying purchases; the VAT guide explains the distinction.
The comparison table brings published figures together. A personal demonstration is the next step towards a decision based on your own requirements.
Product information is based on the published XSTO range. Check the relevant product page and confirm current specifications and your chosen configuration with the team before ordering.
