S-115

I fell and shattered my femur and the hip prosthetic that I had because of AVN, avascular necrosis of the hip. Well, shattering my brittle bones was a fear that became a reality. I am missing about 7 inches of bone in the femur. They made a special prosthetic held together with rods and plates and a ton of screws. I had to be non-weight bearing for about 10 months then another three months while learning to walk again. This wheelchair was just perfect. I have mild paralysis of the left side. I can even roll in it by myself. A gentle spin takes me half way down my hallway! It is so light weight, sturdy and comfortable. It will last me decades as it is so well made.

This wheelchair is AMAZING! It's comfortable and moves around with ease. It is also light enough for me to be able to pick it up with one hand.

It’s been a lovely wheelchair for the price. I’ve been using it for quite some time now. I’m entirely immobile at the moment without the assistance of my spouse to transfer. I’ve recently developed quite the sore on my backside that’s made everything painful, but I am still thankful that I made this purchase. I’ve been wheelchair bound before, and hated to have to take this step again. I am glad I did when I did. I took a turn for the worse the day before it arrived. I do use a pillow or cushion under where I sit for comfort purposes, but this was a quality purchase. With the progression of my situation, I am considering making an upgrade, but that’s a difficult decision as that would be expensive and unwieldy for my partner to deal with. Doing my best to get by, and this is not a poor choice for a midrange wheelchair. Depending on your specific issues, you may appreciate a small pillow for your backside, or a contoured pillow if it’s more serious. But I don’t find it to be a bad choice. It’s helped me a lot.

I saw someone say this was cheaply made. Not so! It is a lightweight chair. Something I needed badly as I'm struggling to pull the old one into the car nowadays. This chair is perfect! I had polio as a baby and cannot stand or walk. My chair is my legs. I require something dependable. This chair is it! I added the tip bars at the back and chose swing-away removable footrests but chose molded armrests that don't move as I put a great pressure on them while lifting myself to dress or transfer. The chair came with padded upholstery and ergonomic that make it very comfortable and since I'm sitting from 5 a.m. until I go to bed at night, this too is important. Another feature that came with the chair was brake handles that fold! I've never seen this before. It's a wonderful feature! When I I'm doing laundry, cooking or cleaning, I need to be able to roll all the way up to cabinets or machines. I move my legs out of the way, fold the breaks down and press them forward under my legs to apply them fully. It works great! I have had my chair now for a couple of months and I love it. I am so thankful to have it. I highly recommend the Carmen S-115 25 lb ultralight ergonomic wheelchair. As with any wheelchair, it is important to use grabbers instead of Reaching Forward for things because overreaching and / or putting extra pressure into the footrests can cause the chair to tip forward. This is true of every chair I have had. Use common sense and do not over reach and you will be fine.

I got this for my bf cause his insurance company is dragging their feet to get him his other chair. Now this chair I think would be good for a normal person's use. Not an extremest like he is. The outdoors people would have a limit of what they can do on their own. But over all the chair is put together well, and it came quick. The only complaint he had is arm rest don't come off. It's light enough for him to get it in his truck, he fell once because he forgot back rest had to come up and he flipped. He did have some difficulty getting back in but him self because well it's a new chair and he had to find grab pots so it's not tippy. Other then that great buy for what your getting.

We needed a lighter weight wheelchair for me to be able to get one in/out of the car easier than the current one my daughter needs. At the touted “25 pound” description, it was what I knew I could handle. It arrived and the shipping label had it at 38 pounds. That’s odd, I thought, but it was boxed inside another box so I thought, maybe they just guessed at the final shipping weight. So we opened the shipping box to discover the exact same Karma wheelchair she already has. Hubby looked it up online and determined the 25 pound weight info is specifically referring to the FRAME of the chair, which ignores the weight of the wheels and anything else that makes it a WHEELCHAIR! Come on Karma! We love the sturdiness of your chairs, but this is a poor description of this one. The actual chair as is (wheels included) is more like 37 pounds, and I would certainly recommend it, if you can lift this big thing into a vehicle. I, unfortunately cannot and we definitely didn’t need two identical wheelchairs in our house 😳.

Can’t say enough good things about this product. Sturdy, I weigh 200 pounds. Used it 18 hours a day for over two months after ankle surgery. Rolled easily, sat comfortably, my spouse said it was “no problem to take it in our suv. He could fold it or leave it opened up.

This wheelchair weighs 25 lbs. I’m a 70 year-old lady and I can load in bed of truck. It came fully assembled except for footrests, which I installed in 12 minutes. It’s sturdy - no plastic. The brakes are next level as are the arm rests, the footrests, the ergonomic seat and back. The wheels, etc. the nuts and bolts throughout the chair are heavy duty. The wheels are perfect. The metal is red ❤️! The back and seat pads velcro on to the chair back and seat. I just put the cushion I ordered on top. I ordered tippers to put on the back of the wheelchair so there’s no risk of me tipping over. When you fold the wheelchair, the back folds down the foot rest fold in. I’m set! Packaging: the box is super sturdy. The wheels were wrapped in heavy duty plastic and each edge was wrapped in heavy-duty cardboard. I’m keeping that box! It’ll be great for storage for things in our shop. Cost: I paid $599 + tax. Free shipping. It arrived less than five days after I ordered it picture
