Karman Healthcare Review

Quality product ,, highly recommended . It is very light iam a 4 11. Height lady weighs 95 Lbs and I can carry and lift this wheelchair anywhere we go. Into the car and out. It fits my Rav 4 and still has room for more stuffs.

Ordered a wheelchair from Walgreens. Karman got the order and got it to me in record time. Very pleased with the chair so far!

My husband injured his shoulder, so we purchased the S115 model because it is a good 10 pounds lighter than my current small sized wheelchair. Right away he could tell a difference - in lifting it into the trunk of the car and in pushing it around. We are very happy with this model.

I love the rolling walker! I feel safe using it. I love the seat also. The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to lock the brakes. Highly recommended!

I just purchased the lightweight wheelchair. It came almost fully assembled. The only things that have to be attached are the footrests, which I do not use anyway. The wheelchair is easy to maneuver throughout the house, even on carpeting. It folds to a compact size that can be easily transported.

The wheelchair is light just like I wanted but i wish the arm rest handles on the side would be able to come off or be moved out of the way. They cant be moved and sometimes makes transfers difficult

Easy to assemble, good quality. Great customer service. Fast shipping.

bought a Karman 18 inch Aluminum Lightweight Transport chair for my mom. it is very light and there is no need to assembly. good product.

Chair is a good size and is lightweight. Fits easily into back of midsize SUV. Brakes work great for someone pushing as well as lower lock by back wheels which makes it secure for someone wanting to sit in place. Only recommendation is that footrests need to have the option to be lowered. Short height of footrests makes it uncomfortable for someone taller than 5'4".

We purchased a Karman Travel Chair/Companion Chair for my 91 yr old Mom. We wanted to take her to an Astros ballgame--this was the perfect solution to travel from parking, throughout the stadium, and then to our seats. Everything about this chair is exactly what we needed. The chair folds up nicely, it is light enough for me to easily load in the trunk (only 23 lbs), it moves smoothly over all terrain (we got the large back wheels), and it looks great! I do, however, have one issue - the width of the seat of the chair isn't quite as wide as stated. We love this Karman Transport Chair; having it allows us to take Mom to more outings...even at 91, she loves to go out and have Fun. Our Karman Transport Chair makes that possible.

Shipping was held up a few extra days and almost didn't come in on time for our trip but fortunately it did the morning before our trip. Very easy to put together the Karman wheelchair. So far we've taken it out and it's been easy to maneuver and it's nice that there are two ways to put breaks, the hand breaks up top and the bottom for extra security. We go to disneyland often so going up/down ramps will be much easier with the hand breaks. Only thing I would want from this is if the movable legs were adjustable for people of different heights. However, it's pretty standard and holds up well so far. So far we are very happy with the purchase and price!

This chair has been a blessing because it is so light, easy to travel with pack up in the back of a van. My wife is able to sit and travel in this chair much longer than any of the chair that we ve had. And also a great looking chair.

I purchased an Urgo Lite 2 Kara wheelchair three months ago and I love it!
Very impressed with the weight of the chair. Has made taking me a lot easier for my family to manage ,being able to lift it and to fold down the back of the chair is a big plus. The s design of the seat makes riding more comfortable and I love the fact that the size of the chair makes getting around so much easier. The only downside of this chair is I would like the foot rest to be extended forward for comfort. Everyone is jealous of my new chair and I recommend it often.

This has all the features of a more expensive wheelchair, removable arms and foot rests, swing back foot rests, etc. and is very comfortable. I recommend it.

Purchased transport chair Model LT-2019-BD for my 93-year-old mom who weighs 100 lbs. The chair is very sturdy, light and easy to fold up to put in the car. The fold-down back is very helpful, though on mine the release on one side is a bit cranky. The wheel locks work smoothly. No hand brakes, which we don't need, but you might if your town has a lot of hills. The seatbelt is a nice because my mom is a fall risk but she forgets and tries to stand up without asking for assistance. The foot rests are easy to take off and on, or they can swivel to the sides and fold flat. Ordered through Walgreens. Delivered promptly, direct from Karman. Came fully assembled.

My mom likes it so far; however, it s not as wide as my dad would like because my mom s pants were off the side. So basically we wish it was a bit wider. My dad ordered this for her to stop renting her regular wheelchair which is exactly the same size. However, we measured the fabric of the seat and it is 18 and not 19. I looked up the lightweight wheelchairs on Walgreens and the only 20 was over $600. It also feels heavier than 19 lbs. to both my father and myself, but it s much lighter than her rented wheelchair. The positives are: my mom can push the footrests out of the way herself and it was easy to set up and to fold up. She s 5 8 and about 175 lbs.

The build quality of this chair feels really cheap. Plastic footrests, cheap feel to armpads, etc. Worst of all, the wheels actually scrape against a nut on the frame when you roll the wheels. I had to add washers to the axles to move each wheel out an 1/8 inch so it didn't scrape. Not thrilled with this chair.

I just purchased a knee Walker! It's great! Love the color and the fact that it came with a basket! Had to rent a knee Walker last year and it didn't have a basket. ( It truly does make a difference!) Thank you Walgreen's and Karman for the prompt service!

I ordered the Karman Lt 700t lightweight wheelchair because of a leg injury. I liked everything about this wheelchair, the price, weight, removable armrest and fast delivery. It arrived packaged well and intact, no problems.

Ordered this wheelchair for my husband. He loves the size of the chair, the wheels, and the hand wheel. The maneuverability is great. The ease to collapse and open it up is great. And the weight of it is great for me. The breathable seats are comfortable.

This product the transit chair. It has saved me and my sister who needs it right now. I would buy this again in future. Light, compact, fits in small car great. Love it

I purchased it for my wife who is dying of cancer. I found it to be well made, easy to operate and a great buy for the money as well as being extremely lighteight!!!!

We needed chair last minute for a trip and this chair is perfect. This will be so much easier than using the airport service and it's the perfect size and has everything we need

Love my new Karman wheelchair it is the most comfortable chair and very easy to transport in the car. Great customer service all the way around. W#ill recommend to people I know.

Bad customer service! I spoke with "Brenda" several times and even sent a picture of the broken part and she keep sending the wrong parts and her I don't care attitude is sad. I am still waiting for parts for my wheelchair that broke and its been 3 weeks and counting.The wheelchair it not even a year old and broke. Don't waste your money or time.

We recently purchased the wheelchair for out trip to Disney World for my husband can not walk far distances nor stand for long periods of time and not being able to reserve a chair gave us great piece of mind to have it with us. Seeing he sat in it for long periods of time, he found it to be very comfortable. I found the wheelchair easy to transport in and out of the vehicle because of how light weight it is. For the price, it is well worth it!

Purchased Karman Ergonomic Wheelchair Ergo Flight with Quick Release (18") to replace 1-year old Drive Transport Wheelchair. It is as light (about 20 lbs) as other transport wheelchairs but it has large rear wheels to allow self-propel and is much more maneuverable. It is also durable and well made (we had to replace transport wheelchairs after about a year for 5 years because they are not durable).

We bought this wheelchair to transport my 92 year old father-in-law. It's well built and very light which allow my wife to easily transfer it into the car. Folds quickly to a nice compact size. Highly recommend.

I purchased the S-ERGO305Q wheelchair. It is by far the best in design and comfort. I am very happy with this wheelchair.

Easy to open , light weight and very compact. great transport chair.

Excellent wheelchair and built very solidly.
Bought Karman 19 inch Aluminum Lightweight Transport Chair with Hand Brakes, 23 lbs. Lightweight and very easy to transport.

I received my new wheelchair and it's high quality as advertised. It's maneuverability is very good. My son pushed me around the shopping center and he feels it's very well made.

Just arrived. Husband impressed. He likes the way it glides. Easy for me to fold and lift.

received chair very fast, narrow enough for old trailer house hallway, Vivian

We just received this wheelchair for a vacation coming up next week via airplane. My wife said this was the most comfortable yet and I say it is the lightest...a win win.

Just unpacked our new chair model LT-700T. Very well made and easy to use. Looking forward to getting out and doing things again. Thank you!

The chair is sturdy and works well for my father in law.

Got tired of lugging a heavy wheelchair for short trips. This works great! Light, foldable and sturdy. I compare it to an umbrella stroller vs a regular stroller.

Purchased the Model R-4100N for my Mother. She is 5 ft tall and the Junior model rollator it perfect for her. Very light weight and stable. Also Great customer Service and friendly!

I was worried this might not be of good quality, but am very pleased how it is made. I m sure this will last me a long time. The workmanship is great. Your Company is the only one who has the footrest. It is very easy to fold up. The wheels are a nice size. This walker was made for all my needs. I like also the storage area under the seat. Thank you for this great product.
.

Pretty disappointing. After 3 days and still waiting to receive a fax, despite having a receipt that the fax was received by the office and Karman Health Care . They do not have consideration for the patient who just wants to get a wheelchair to move without help.

I ordered this chair for my very picky 99 year old mother. It is easy to fold and the seat back can be folded back as well for trunk storage. She says it s comfortable and I really like the larger rear wheels. The Walmart site said they were 14 wheels and the box says 12 . It must have been a typo on the Walmart site. We ordered the burgundy and it s a very attractive metallic dusty rose color. We look forward to an easier push than with the chair we are replacing.

17 inch T-2700 transporter is only half usable. Left arm cannot be easily removed due to severe binding in the rear socket. Weldment of this socket is misaligned. Quality control is lacking.

Purchased a Karman Rollator for my aunt and she could not have been happier! It was the most lightweight one I could find on the market (11 pounds) and it has made a big difference in her life in keeping her independence. Would highly recommend this product!

I purchased this wheelchair for our father. I was very pleased with the great quality and ease of use. The large wheels make it easy for him to use along with the hand breaks. It is very comfortable for him and folds up for travel. Great purchase!

We bought the chair for my 90 year old mom and honestly my dad too in order for him to be able to assist my mom better while at home. They both love it! Great Christmas gift! It is light weight and easy to maneuver in their home. The extra carrying basket, tray and bag make it easy for Mom to carry her oxygen bottle, phone, coffee or whatever she needs with her around the house. Love it and definitely recommend it!

I was searching for a wheelchair for partial use as I can still walk short time and/or distance, but start to get weak when it comes to long walk and/or distance. I looked around pros and cos of different styles, mainly about how they fold and the type of tires, I made my choice to get a light weight, with outdoor tires and that easily fold for transport as I don't use it full time. I browsed hundred of models and some brands, reading reviews to have an idea of what to expect and to choose wisely.

I eventually came around Karman brand in my search, I loved how the chairs has a pretty design, some color choices, but as well how it matched everything I was looking for (as stated above). The price was a down side, it's hard to afford, thought quality come with a cost. I eventually had the benefit of a nice discount and took the opportunity to order it.

When the box get in, I was surprised by how light it is! Of course I knew I ordered a ligjtweight wheelchair, but didn't expected it to be so true to its name. The wheelchair is light, confortable and easy to move around, even for a beginner wheelchair user like me. The removable padding is a bit thin, but still comfortable. My only complain is that one of the feet rest is cracked already, right out of the box.

Just purchased a Karman ErgoFlight transport chair - it s just perfect for our needs. Although my husband is 5 11 and weighs 190#, he fits in the 16 x16 just fine. The chair is light enough for me to easily lift into the trunk or backseat of our car. It s very comfortable and I love the large 14 rear wheels making it very easy to go over small impediments. It is an extremely well-made chair.

I ordered this wheelchair for a patient of mine. We primarily chose this wheelchair because it was ultra light weight, still had large wheels and front brakes, but appeared to be nearly half the weight of standard wheelchairs. We were very pleased when it had dual axles that allowed for seat height adjustment.

I ordered this for my mother, as an alternative to a transport chair. I just received it, and she hasn't ridden in it yet, but I'm glad I chose this chair. It's easy to open and close, easy to fold back arms, swing away leg rests, fold down pushing handles - and everything unlocks as easily as it locks. (I sat in it; seems nice so far.) There are small levers at the connection points that makes it easy to fold or detach, and it's the lightest model 'full chair' I found in my research. Everything arrived undamaged, and I don't need to make any adjustments. A small wrench comes with it, and I'll update the post if I need to fix anything, or continually tighten as I've seen with reviews of some chairs.

Bought an ultralight wheelchair going on 3 years ago, model LT-980, and chair is great except for the lack of strength in the folding handles. The first time the hinge bolt broke, the company replaced without hesitation. Now it has broken a second time and started the phone calls for replacement on a Wednesday with no return call. Called again Thursday and rep was at lunch and never called back after the 30 minutes I was told they would be calling back. Called again late that afternoon and finally spoke to someone that could handle the issue. Emailed pictures and explanations per customer service reps instructions. They finally called back with a resolution on Friday. The lack of urgency is what bothered me as I had explained this is the only chair we have and patient, who is in chair almost all waking hours of the day, almost fell out backwards when the bolt broke and was now having to use chair in an awkward manner that was hurting my back and neck with the risk of patient falling back again. So they are not just replacing the bolt, but the whole handle... which is beyond expectation. So 3 stars for chair quality, 2 stars for going beyond expectation and MINUS 2 stars for lack of urgency... giving a 3 star rating.

I have just received the Karman Wheel chair that is very light weight. I am very pleased already as I can lift it into the trunk and I am 76 years young. Thanks for your fast service to me and my son. He is the one who will be using it, but I have to do all of the work of getting into the trunk . Very pleased. Pat Stidger

This is the second Karman Ergo 115 that I ve owned, As far as I am concerned, They our the Roll Royce of wheelchairs. I just wish they could be lowered 1 to 2 inches.

I purchased a Karman 19-inch Steel Transport Chair for my mother because osteoarthritis makes it difficult for her to walk long distances or stand for long periods of time. She says the chair is so comfortable that she doesn't need an extra cushion. It's very sturdy.

The chair came almost fully assembled; I only needed to clip on the foot rests. It folds and unfolds very easily. I am very happy with this purchase.

Purchased the 115 Ergo chair for a hemispherically paralyzed stroke victim. It's great. We wanted something light weight and maneuverable for inside the house and something that an older person could easily collapse and put in the back of a Fiat 500 to go to appointments, stores, and restaurants. We also wanted something that would travel easily on airplanes. The compact and easily folded up design works well - very comfortable for longer sitting. Got the bar to bridge the hand grips and love it for backing though doorways or holding back on going down hill. Removable wheels help carry it in tight places. Great product, well designed. Slightly higher hand grips help the back of the person assisting.

The s ergo lightweight wheelchair is indeed a help for both me and my wife. I can self propel or my wife can transport me with a lot more ease. And the lightweight allows my wife get it into the back of our suv.

Got it for my mom, this transport chair has higher handles than her other chair she has. Hopefully she enjoys this chair.

Just received a S-Ergo 115, construction and design seem very well done. Shipping was amazing, I received a shipping notification at 11:08am and received the chair at 11:31am. Ordered on a Sunday, received on Tuesday.

This wheelchair is well worth the money! So easy to lift in and out of the vehicle. Opens and closes very easy. Love how quickly the footrests attach. Maneuvers easy both inside and outside!

I am very pleased with the wheel chair, we purchased this for my mom for Christmas . The lightweight and the ease to use was perfect for her.

I just purchased the Karman lightweight transport chair for my mom and like it very much. It is easy to set up and opens and closes easily. It will be perfect for my mom and not too heavy for me.

A wonderful, comfortable .light enough for me to put in the car wheelchair. Even fits in the tiny trunk of my husband's BMW!
Folds very small and easy to take on the plane.

We just love this lightweight wheelchair with hand brakes. It is easy for me to put in and out of our Subaru Forester. I am 71 and I do have thumb arthritis but am able to lift it easily. Having the brakes it such a plus for any inclines where a heavy wheelchair can almost take off.

I purchased the Karman Knee scooter KW-100. I was pleased to have received the scooter within four days. I needed a quick delivery to get around after a foot procedure.The scooter is well built and functional. The customer service is patient and helpful. I would definitely purchase Karman products in the future.

I bought the LT-1000-HB. This is a great wheelchair. It is well made, good construction. It weights about 23 lbs. but is light enough for a 105 caregiver to lift. We have an old drive wheelchair that weights about 19 lbs and this one doesn't seem much heavier. We haven't had time to use it outside but I am sure the large back wheels will be a great asset.

This wheelchair is very lightweight. It is much lighter and easier to move around than our old one. It was also very easy to assemble.

This wheelchair is for my 89 year old mother for our trip to the UK this Summer. The metal is a beautiful metallic raspberry color. I have sat in the seat and it will be perfect for her but she is a petite woman. For larger people I would recommend a wider wheelchair. The weight of 23 lbs. and folding ability will be easy to travel with. The foot rests are very easy to add and remove. The back 14inch wheels should do well over cobblestones and other surfaces.

Exactly what I needed and as advertised. Light weight and very sturdy. A definite use for events where long walks or standing in line are at the event.

Great lightweight wheelchair with many innovative features. Minus 1 star because the seat is stiff and requires a seat pad.

Quality and price can't beat it for karman wheelchairs.simply the best for less!

I decided to spring for a quality wheelchair. Most of the transport chairs I use end up falling apart in one year so I was on the hunt for a good wheelchair that would withstand and feel comfortable. After many days of researching wheelchairs, watching Youtube reviews, and reading online articles, I wound up at Karmen Healthcare. Huge selection of wheelchairs but I decided to go with the ergo 115. Been very happy with my purchase -- the ride is smooth and the seat is very comfortable, as advertised. I also ordered the raised footrests as an add-on and they work wonderfully. very excited to use this chair when I go out.

The LT-2017 Transport chair arrived quickly and it was literally a snap to set up. My mom loves it. It's small folded size makes it easy to set inside the car or the trunk. Unfolding it is easy peasy too. Mom loves it and so do I.
Thanks, Karman, for making the transport chair that's just right for my mom.

Excellent wheelchair. Lightweight and the folding back makes it easy to put in the back of my suv. I love the burgundy color.

My wife and i just purchased the LT-1000HB wheelchair for her mother. We all love it. The bigger rear wheels make it much easier to get around. The chair width fits through all the house doors in the house doors as well. The chair folds easy for transport and the foot supports can be added and removed with ease. No tools were needed. It comes put together right out of the box.

I have just purchased and received my Lightweight Karman Wheelchair and have been pleasantly surprised at how well made it is and it is relatively comfortable even without a gel cushion. Assembly was minimal and simple as are the adjustments. It is easy to use and move around in. The only disappointment was that it arrived without the back pouch that it was advertised as having, the problem was resolved after a phone call to customer service who promised to mail me the missing back pouch by first class mail at no cost I am now anxiously awaiting the back pouch as it is an essential item to me. Great product.

Purchased a Karman transport chair with 19" seat. It came fully assembled except for the footrests which are easy to attach. The chair is great. It folds easily, feels secure, is comfortable and lightweight. It is easy to maneuver and lock. This will be a great help with my elderly mother.

I purchased the Karman S-125 for my own use. To be honest, I only purchased this chair for temporary use until my insurance completed the authorization and manufacture of my more long-term chair (they estimated two months until everything is complete). That being said, I was pleasantly surprised with the S-125, given the current price point, I was actually expecting slightly less.

Thus far, I've noticed the following:
1 - The construction is solid. Prior to the S-125, I used two wheelchairs from Drive, and another from Medline. While they were both cheaper, they were also rickety (I weight 210 lbs).
2 - I enjoy the ability to adjust the chair as needed. I am more active with my chair, and the ability to remove the armrests is a plus.
3 - It is easy to collapse and unfold. However, this is also a con, as my first time opening it up, it was a bit too easy to open, and I caught my finger between the seat and the base (completely my own fault).
4 - While nice, the included cushions are not as helpful as I would have liked. I've added my own for additional padding.

Overall, a solid chair for the price.

We just received our second Ergo305 wheelchair. We live in the North and need an outdoor chair for the snow and a second clean one for inside the house. We bought our first 305 about a year and a half ago. It is by far the best wheelchair we have used. My wife has used a wheelchair for many years. The Ergo305 is heads and shoulders better than any other chair we used. The quality of the components used is self evident. Pieces are manufactured with tight tolerances and work smoothly. The chair's composite and aluminum frame is very stiff, rigid, and light weight. Other chairs we used are loose with a lot of flex. Not the 305. The brakes hold the chair in place. It also folds up nicely that I can fit it into the trunk of my compact car without removing the wheels so we have choices between our van and car. If you need a long term chair, I would recommend the Ergo305.

The Roller walker is sturdy, easy to fold/unfold. The wheels are large making it easy to maneuver.

Very easy to put together. Excellent quality. Nice little details like the footrest has a strap in the back to keep feet from slipping through.

Bought the Karman LT-700T-20W wheelchair for my husband; my husband needed an easy to handle chair, I needed a fairly lightweight one so I could handle it myself, and this one had all the features we wanted in the price range we could afford.
It is easy to maneuver, whether being self-propelled or pushed, and my husband says it is comfortable to sit in. We have only had it a day, but it is sturdily built and I've no doubt it will stand the test of time.
Assembly was a breeze - all I had to do was snap the front of the armrests in place and snap the swing-away footrests on, no tools necessary (although a small tool to tighten/loosen nuts was included).
Although my husband is an average-sized man (5' 10", 160 lbs), we got the 20" wide seat; this allows enough room to add a pouch on the inside armrest and assures that his hips won't rub against the sides.

I ordered 3 junior walkers. One was damaged. It was taken care of promptly .Now at 4'11" I can walk around so much better.

I ordered my mom's Karman wheelchair through Walgreens, and was happy when I discovered it was very simple to assemble, so light that I can easily lift it into my car, and comfortable to sit in! The slender folded size means that she can easily store it in her closet when it's not in use. I'm replacing an old, extremely heavy wheelchair that my grandmother had used. This one will be great for taking my mom to the botanical gardens, doctor's visits, and other places where we want the convenience of a lightweight wheelchair.

Just received the Karman Standard Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair 802-DY. Can't say enough good things about it, too. Much better quality than I expected for an ultralightweight. Well built, solid, good quality fabric. Very easy to collapse and open. This is the lightest standard wheelchair I could find out there because I have it in and out of my trunk for my elderly mother multiple times a day. Studied many, many "ultralights" that weren't light enough or didn't have all the features this one does. It's truly under 30 lbs (without the legs, which we don't use). We are very, very pleased (and we did NOT receive anything for providing this review).

This is my second Karman purchase of the tri rolator walker. It works great for me. My home is older and I am not able to get other walkers through the doorways, but I can easily get into rooms with this tri walker. Also it is easy for me to lift and get into vehicles

The lightweight standard rollator fits perfectly walking thru the door entrances in our home.

Just received this chair. I ordered it for myself and am excited at the freedom it should provide me. Since it is extremely lightweight and I chose the quick release axle, I should be able to pop off the wheels, load them and the frame into our van and go wherever I need to go!

I absolutely LOVE this wheelchair!!!!! It is great quality and I would suggest anyone interested to purchase it!!!! Thank You so much!!!!!

Customer rep. Was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Delivered on time. My daughter has been using it for a month now and likes it a lot. I like the fact that it is so light.
