End User Desc: After a fall 95 yr mother can not walk. Used the 600 lift at nursing home and liked it. I wanted same lift to use at home. the 450 is smaller.

Strengths: simple and easy to use.I like the way the remote can be used with one hand as I stand behind the wheelchair to position her into the chair as she is being lowered.

Weaknesses: Only thing I would change: With legs extended open it will not fit over a large recliner. I cannot transfer my mom to her favorite chair.

End User Desc: The lift has made it so much easier and safer for staff to do transfers.

Strengths: Transfers are safer for staff and our patients. The Reliant 450's use is easy and heights adjust to all of our needs.

Weaknesses: It is still difficult to get the sling properly and smoothly under the patients, but as opposed to doing full lifts, this is great.
