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.

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.

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.

There were no attachment bolts nor nuts for the leg extension / foot pads.The chair is okay, not great by any means but just okay. It is rickety and constantly have to ensure nuts, bolts and screws are tight . Additionally , I contacted the vendor about the missing hardware and received nothing back and that was a week ago. So the vendor lacks in communication with purchaser.

Good quality and comfortable, very light and folds up very compact to save room, pocket on back of wheelchair is nice.

The wheelchair met my needs for portability. While intuitive a complete lack of any instructions was truly detrimental. He doesn’t even have washing instructions for the pad. It comes with. Another problem is that with the foot rests attached, I could not get it to go over small bumps like the transition from the dining room to the kitchen.

The wheelchair was nice but the box was damaged and the wheelchair was not a good fit for my mom who is 4’8. We needed a lower seat. However the company is still holding my money. The return was received on Aug 15th. Today is Aug 20th and still no refund.

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.
