    • Lightweight Wheelchair is a Lifesaver!
Style: Gen 1
I use this wheelchair when taking the lady I take care of to her appointments. I have arthritis in my elbow and it’s hard to lift anything heavy. This one is very light, opens easily, and yet it’s still quite sturdy. When it’s completely collapsed I can fit it in the back of a small SUV without putting back seats down. It was well worth spending a bit more for the lighter folding chair! ... show more

    • Impressed with this WC, very lightweight but does not feel flimsy
Style: Gen 1
Lightweight and having the handles fold down makes it easier to fit into my CRV. Well-made, we have another WC that is lightweight but the handles do not fold down so it is more difficult to maneuver. It does need an add-on pad for more comfortable use

This wheelchair is awesome. So light and easy to fold. It’s perfect for my blind 87 year old momma. The one star is because the color is not accurate. I thought the tires were blue; and yes the color is important. I can’t send it back for the wheels because it would be complicated for me to do. Honestly I wish I would have purchased through a an actual med store because of this reason. I’m very disappointed in the company for the lack of detail. The picture looks blue. The wheels are not blue they are gray. ... show more

    • I did not get what was described on Amazon
Style: Gen 1
This is a difficult review to write. Over the years I have usually got what I paid for but not for the Kaman wheelchair. In fact, it is so bad that because of safety concerns and lack of missing features given in the Amazon website for the product, I will dispose of it. This does not relate to Amazon but rather the company that created the product description writeup, Amazon is jus the middleman, so to speak, for selling what is presented. I might add, that the material used to make the wheelchair can be rated as five stars, since the metal parts are really the best quality but everything else stands as one star. The reason for one star will be explained next. I have taken the description detail features for the 980 Karman wheelchair directly from the Amazon website and compared them to the actual wheelchair features: Fixed armrest with wide cushioned arm pads: >No cushioned arm pads, just bare hard plastic. Swing in/away removable footrest, adjustable height footplates with heel loops. Back height: 19 inches. >No heel loops, just a flat plate that would allow feet to slip off the back of the plate. Seat width according to the Amazon description: 18”x16” >Seat actually is: 16”x16”. The braking mechanism is very conveniently located for the person sitting in the chair since it’s on the left-hand side and within easy reach. The LT-980 had incorporates handbrakes at the wheel of the chair so that the user could activate them if needed. (The above is presented exactly as printed in the Amazon website.) >This is referring to two braking mechanisms. The first one is supposed to be something on the left side of the chair. There is nothing there. >The second mechanism is a lever on each side of the chair just to the right and left of the front of the seat area. When they are pushed forward, they press a bar against their respective tires. They will stop the wheels from moving if continued pressure is maintained to hold then forward. >There could be a problem in getting out of the wheelchair. Since there is no hand brake and you cannot hold pressure against the tires with the levers while getting up, the wheelchair could move making getting up creating a possible dangerous situation. Another statement made in the Amazon description of the LT-980 features refers to the comfort behind the padded nylon upholstery. This refers to the seat cushion, which is just several layers of nylon attached to the sides of the chair. There is no firm (stiff) surface to sit on. The following is from the 'Guide' provided with the wheelchair (not related to Amazon website): The ‘User Guide’ that came with the Karman LT-980 is rather limited in it’s information. First, the cover shows that it applies to 13 Karman models. Page 2 of the ‘Guide’ shows the specifications of what I assume is a typical Kaman wheelchair. However, it shows a wheel lock that does not apply to the 980. On pages 3 and 4 of the ‘Guide’ are assembly instructions. Pages 5 and 6 are some accessories that can be ordered. Pages 7 and 8 are Safety Tips and maintenance recommendations. Under Safety Tips there are some tips on Footrests, but I could not understand anything written. Under the caption ‘Opening and Folding the wheelchair’ there is a tip not to place your fingers between the seat sling and the frame rail when opening or folding the wheelchair. >My LT-980 does not have a seat sling. To close my wheelchair I have to put one hand on the front of the seat and the other hand on the back of the seat and pull up. >Lots of tips on wheel locks but the 980 does not have that ability to lock wheels. And last, but not least, to get a warranty or to register the Kaman wheelchair, it is necessary for fill out an 8x11 form, supplied by Kaman, and mail it to California. They supply the address. It asks for a lot of personal data. In my case it could be difficult to do it since the form came taped to a box. P.S. Sorry but I am not able to produce photos or a video. In the wheelchair's present condition, especially with no wheel lock, I could not give it to anyone for safety reasons. I certainly did not get my money value out of this product. ... show more

    • The back folds down, and it is not heavy!
Style: Gen 1
This is my first wheel chair. I can still stand and walk, just not very long and not very far:-) I went to a local store that sells all kinds of wheel chairs but their basic manual models, the back did not fold down, and the wheels are plastic spoke, I was not impressed! Not to mention the price was higher than this Karman model and they weighed more. Since the back folds down it is easy to load in the SUV without having to lay it down. I have used it a few times in stores that don't have electric "mart carts" and it is very comfortable and easy to use. I think it's GREAT! ... show more
