If you can not pick every person in your home off the floor, you should own this. My family member fell and broke a hip, he's 6'3” and 240#. I am not, so getting him to the hospital was impossible without calling an ambulance. I purchased this immediately after, so I never had to be that helpless again. Fast forward 30 days, he went down again, but this time I had this! It only took 20 seconds to get him into his chair. Durable, portable, easy to use, he was able to slide up onto this and take a breath, while it raised him high enough to slide to his wheel chair. Even he said, this thing is a life saver. Well worth the money!!!!
A FANTASTIC PRODUCT ! BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 92 YR OLD MOTHER. SHE CANNOT GET UP WHEN SHE FALLS. WITH THIS CHAIR SHE JUST SLIDES ONTO THE SEAT, PUSHES THE CONTROL BUTTON AND THE CHAIR LIFTS HER VERY GENTLY AND SMOOTHLY TO A GOOD HEIGHT SO SHE CAN STAND AGAIN. IT CAN BE USED IN THE BATHTUB SO SHE CAN BETTER WASH HERSELF THAN AT THE SINK. THE SUCTION CUPS ON THE BOTTOM HOLD IT SECURE---NO SLIPPING OR SLIDING. IT IS VERY WELL-DESIGNED, IS WATERPROOF, RUNS ON A RECHARGABLE LITHIUM ION BATTERY, WEIGHS 30 LBS. AND FOLDS INTO A SUITCASE-LIKE SHAPE FOR TRANSPORT OR STORING. IT CERTAINLY MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR BOTH HER AND ME !
I can say with complete honesty and gratitude that I have used this chair dozens of times and no longer have to risk injury (to my parents or me) when helping them up.
I am extremely thankful that the company created such a wonderful, important product - especially one that nobody else has made (at least I hadn't seen anything else like it - despite thoroughly researching products for months - when I bought it.) I HIGHLY recommend this product - with ZERO reservations.
We bought this to allow us to get my husband up when he falls so we will not have to rely on neighbors or the fire department. It works well except for the fact that it is very heavy to carry. The closed size is good and stores well.
