Single motor riser recliners are very simple to operate as they only have 2 buttons on the handset - whereas dual motor chairs have 4. Dual motor chairs have the advantage of being able to independently operate the different functions of the chair but have more buttons on the handset. Single Motor models are also typically cheaper than dual motor models as they have less components. If in doubt, please get in touch and speak to one of our product experts or arrange a visit to one of our showrooms to find the right chair for your needs.
