MAIDeSITe Electric Chair Lift, Stand Up Independently from Floor, Support Up to 300 LBS, Floor Lift for Elderly, FSA HSA Eligible, JC35M3

My dad has a tendency to fall often, and after I tried picking my mom up a few years ago, she damaged my back for many years so I can't pick up my dad. The 2nd to last time my dad fell, I told him we needed something like this. We did lots of research, compared reviews and videos, marked what features were important, and price shopped (which fluxes). We landed on this one, and the other day, my dad took a fall. I went to get this device, and he was able to scoot on it and lift himself up. It took maybe 10 minutes. We are so thankful we bought this. We keep it charged and in a very convenient place for anyone to access. The suction cups work great.

I have knee, back and balance issues. This was a lifesaver from the first dAy it was out of the box. Generally if I fall there is no injury that requires an ER visit, but if the squad comes to get me up that is where I will go. With this chair I can usually roll or use my arms to get to it. Then just sit on it, push the controller and in just moments I am ready to use my Walker. It is such a relief for my daughter who is 25 minutes away when I would call and say “I have fallen and I can’t get up”. Now I don’t even call unless I am hurt, but tell the next time we talk. If you are in my circumstance, don’t wait. It is worth every penny!!!!

I ordered this chair a few weeks ago because my elderly mother kept falling and I would have to call 911 because I couldn't pick her up. Tried it out for the first time last night and we were both thrilled to find that it worked really well! The instructions are super-simple and there's no assembly needed. I was a little concerned because it said it weighs 30 lbs, which is a little heavy for me, but it wasn't bad at all.I highly recommend this chair! It's expensive but worth it!

Lift not quite tall enough for a “on the floor to stand up” result and somewhat difficult to get into the proper position on the device from the floor. I would be reluctant to use in a tub as the instructions say you can but the design is such that you could theoretically. Lot of compromises made in the design I suspect.

I was originally looking for a lift to assist picking up my wife from the floor after a fall. I found this lift on Amazon and viewing the video, I thought it might work well for that purpose. When we received it, I set it up right away to try it out. There is some charge in the battery so I was able to test it right away. It is about 3 inches off the floor when fully lowered, so I still need to be able to get my wife up onto the seat from the floor. In the video, the user had enough strength to lift himself to the lowered seat. My wife doesn't have that strength, so I will have to lift her onto the seat, but it is much better than trying to lift her completely from the floor. The chair lift will raise the person from the floor level to a seated level. The user would have to be able to stand from a seated position at chair height. But as a care giver, this is much more practical and manageable. There are wings on each side of the chair to aid in transferring the user from the chair lift to a chair, bed or even a tub.As I was reading the instructions, it mentioned to not leave it in the water when not in use. It wasn't clear to me that this was submersible and could be used in the tub. When I read the description on Amazon, I missed the bullet point regarding using it in the tub. The instructions show measuring the tub to make sure it fits, but the instructions do not cover it's use in the tub. Not sure if I was assuming correctly, I emailed the company. Cecilia responded very quickly and confirmed that it was designed for use in the tub, and she let me know that there was a video on Amazon about using it in the tub. I had two more questions after that and each time Cecilia answered very quickly and was very friendly. Until now, getting in and out of the tub is very difficult and dangerous for my wife, as she has little strength and balance and stepping in and out was too challenging. This chair is designed so that you can sit on the chair from outside the tub and swing your legs into the tub while seated. Then the chair lowers the person down into the water. You can raise or lower in and out of the water as needed for bathing and rinsing the various parts of your body. When the bath is finished, you can raise back up even with the side of the tub, swing your legs out and stand up on a secure rug or mat on the bathroom floor, without having to try to stand in the tub and step over the side of the tub. The controller is rechargeable and unplugs from the chair so that it can be charged away from the tub. The chair and the controller are both waterproof, and the connection plug appears to be sealed also when plugged in. The bottom of the chair has 6 suction cups so that it doesn't move in the tub. I did find that to take it out of the tub, as you to unseal each suction cup one at a time, they tend to stick back down when you go to the next one, so that was a bit challenging, but I figured that if I put a towel or washcloth under each suction cup as I pulled it up, that wouldn't be a problem.It is rated for up to a 300 lb person. I weigh 270 and I have tested it and it doesn't have any problem lifting me.Even though I bought this lift not knowing about its bath uses, I know we will get a lot of use with this chair lift especially for bathing.

This lift is great for an 81 year old person like me who has had several falls and had to call to be lifted off the floor. This device works great and now I can use this to lift myself up. 5 star !

I'm an amputee above the knee on my left leg. I walk with a prosthetic leg but at home I'm in a wheelchair. I recently fell transferring from my wheelchair to my bad. So I had to crawl to the bathroom where I have bars to assist me transfer from my wheelchair. But if I'm floor it is very difficult because my right leg is weak. I was on the floor for over an hour before I made it back to the wheelchair. If that happens again I can simply crawl to new floor level chair and transfer to my wheelchair with no assistance from anyone.
