KD Smart ChairReviews of kdsmartchair.com

I love the chair because it is small and easy to maneuver around. I don`t like the armrest because they rip too easily. That is my main complaint. I have a lot of people who want to know where I got it. I would highly recommend it.

We really love the idea of the KD Smart Chair. We use it when traveling with my adult daughter who has CP, as her regular full-size power chair is too big for many situations. The KD Smart Chair is easy to fold, light weight and relatively comfortable for a non-custom wheelchair. It is easy to throw into a regular car or taxi. It has been a life-saver for traveling. Customer service has been fantastic. Our biggest complaint is that it is too fast and sensitive for her to drive safely. They sent us parts they thought would help with that problem, and also sent us (at no cost) replacement tires and other parts she had worn out after some 5 years of occasional (but hard) use. I usually end up operating the joy stick for her in public, which is still easier than pushing a manual chair, but I do wish there could be a slow mode. People with some disabilities might do okay with it, but it is very touchy and fast, causing many near-disaster situations! Still, the KD Smart Chair has been well worth its original price for us, an d I certainly suggest giving the chair a try for your needs.

could use more seat padding

A comfortable cushion is desperately needed. It feels let me your sitting on a rod.

I have had to replace fenders that broke but overall the chair is very good. My wife has other power chairs that react more smoothly to the joy stick. Those have to be dismantled into three units for transport so we like the KD chair for it’s ease of transport. I would recommend it to anyone who needs it for outside the house use. Is works well over most relatively smooth terrain.

I could wish that there was more control over speed. In my old motorized chair, I could leave the speed control on high and move forward a little at a time slowly and SMOOTHLY with a slight movement of the joy stick. Otherwise I am VERY satisfied with my K D Smart Chair. I love the weight factor and the fact that it will fold down to the size of a large suitcase.

Because I have to purchase from another address in NJ Why if we are a part of the US you don’t ship to Puerto Rico 00985

The chair could use a few more storage compartments. Also, there is a slightly uncomfortable reaction time (latency) on the power control. About 1/2 second after a command is given, then movement. Not good when entering elevators.
