As an elderly, overweight and disabled gentleman, it's difficult to maneuver to sitting in the tub for a bath. It often isn't safe, either, due to the dangers of slipping getting up or down. With the lift, I simply step into the tub, sit on the chair, and after the bath stand up and step out. The chair lowers me safely (and reclines for comfort) then lifts me back to the original sitting position. I was concerned the remote controller only had 2 buttons: up & down, not one for leaning back. No problem; once the chair is lowered, continued pressing tilts the back of the chair. 'Up' raises the back to the full upright position then raises the chair itself. It seems awfully pricey, but this model does have a 375 lb. lift capacity. It's nice to be able to immerse myself and soak in a hot tub from time to time, instead of being limited to only showers while sitting; not everything gets clean.
Although I've yet to find a warrantee, it's far superior to a walk in bathtub, which requires you to sit upright, waik around the door, wait for it to fill and drain, etc. This is easy to use and quite comfortable, albeit I don't know how long it will last.
Aside from having difficulty getting into the tub and out - which has nothing to do with this little jewel, it works fine. My husband is 81 and can not see well so he can't tell where he's putting his number 12's. Once he gets his feet situated in the tub, he's fine - the same for getting out. This unit rises and lowers him for a comfortable soaking bath and we are very pleased with it. It has solved a big problem for us. I'm so glad you had it at a reasonable price.
This is a replacement for the same product I bought elsewhere 4 years ago. It does what it is supposed to do, but the fold down wings, and the entire unit could be made of a more sturdy plastic, and wider. It claims to have a maximum weight limit of 350 pounds. I use it for disabled adult daughter who is 250, in a tub designed with a higher edge, and wider access than the standard tubs. The "wings" do not reach from side to side at the top of the tub, and the hinges have broken several times over the years. The battery will last about a year, with daily use, so be prepared to replace it. There are other lifts available, the best one made in Germany, but costs about 3 times more. Had to replace it due to motor failure, but I still bought the same unit.
This is a large unit. Very powerful. You need a large tub to enjoy the unit.
