I adore how light and compact it is. I can easily fold and lift it with one hand- and muscular, I am not. The leg rests pop on and off very very easily, and allow the legs to hang down naturally without sticking out and running into things.
The front wheels take thresholds and move from hard surfaces to softer ones (like carpet and grass) like a dream. Also, the brakes hold amazingly well; no more having to worry about the chair moving while I transfer her from chair to bed or car.
My only regret is that I didn't buy a Karman Wheelchair sooner. This wheelchair is so well made and well thought out it is hard to explain, I cannot recommend it enough!!! Best analogy? It is like going from a Honda Accord to a Mercedes E class. :)
This chair relieves that strain and is lighter, which makes transporting easier.
It has some very well thought out touches, such as rear step-levers that make it easy for someone pushing you to assist you up a step or ledge. It has adjustable armrest height. And additionally the entire armrest can also flip-up and out of the way which has come in very handy in some situations.
The cushions are anti-bacterial as well, and the entire chair is very well designed.
NOW HERE IS THE MAIN ISSUE:
This chair is *very* difficult to find replacement parts for! This may not seem like a big thing at first, but as you use the chair over time, the armrests will wear, and things will become loose and wear down with time, and you will want / need to have them replaced. This is when you will discover as I have, that there is no real place to buy any replacement parts for this chair. I have been to Karman Healthcare's website. They show you all the parts, and there is indeed a "shopping cart" at the top-right, however you will find that there is no way to actually add any of those parts to your cart!
I have contacted them twice via the e-mail link (their contact form doesn't actually work!) and after two and a half-weeks received a response telling me to contact them to order! What was I doing before? Day-dreaming?!
I also visited all of their reseller sites (of which Amazon is one) They sell the chairs, but not the parts, To me it seems like overkill to have to buy another complete chair just for the parts. In-fact the only place I have found to buy some (not all) of the replacement parts is eBay, and the prices are absurd!
So in closing, I like the chair itself, but when things need to be replaced, it becomes a real pain indeed. Keep that in mind.
