Hi Jim,
I've never tried either Redman or Levo, so I can't offer an opinion on any of
their product. I'm sorry. Good luck finding what works best for your needs.
Stay strong.
With Love,

How does this reply sound?
Thanks for your replies, I just forwarded your complaints to my DME
Supplier that is trying to sell me this new Redman. Hopefully he will be
able to help both of you with your problems. Since they want to sell me and
many others on their new chair. I pray that this will be enough incentive to
get Redman to do what is right. I really appreciate your feedback, even
though it wasn't what I was hoping to hear. But the TRUTH hurts unless it
comes from the big book, and your on the right side. Does anyone have any
good reports?
Fortunately out of all the members you 2 are the only one's that
have replied with bad, but nobody has replied with good. This really leaves
me in a mess because, for the last 10 years the standing Levo I have been
using. Is not covered by medicare and the Permobil doesn't give me good
preassure relief. To get off the Sciatic nerve damaged by a Permobil in
2000. Standing also enables me to be much more independent. Such as being
able to reach upper cabinets, thermostat, bulletin boards on wall, plus it
really helps a lot with getting bowel movements more regular, and my legs
are still extremely muscular to enable me to walk when my miracle is
manifested. He brought the new Redman yesterday and my friend is a genius at
fixing anything. He is the only reason this old Levo can even still work.
His opinion was that the new Redman is built much better than the old Levo.
Which he has had completely apart numerous times for repairs. Does anybody
know of a better option?
