Get-U-Up Hydraulic

Works without batteries.

Poorly designed. Poorly constructed, noisy pump. Unfit for human use. Made in China.

Elderly

Very easy to use. Not hard to use hydraulic pump system. Patient is transferred very satisfactorily.

The standing sling can sometimes slip a little making patient feel a little uncomfortable.

jack r. from omaha, ne

Post stroke patient 91 yrs old. Wanted to be taken care of in own home but needed something to help my family to transfer me as legs were still weak

Not provided

had to modify. My main resident has a tendency to stick his foot out, had to put a plate in front of where he puts his feet so that his feet will stay on the stand-up pad.

The greatest strength is that it designs what it was designed to do, move a person from one place to another with least effort and danger to either patient or caregiver.

My first choice would have been to have a battery operated machine to work the hydraulic lift.

My husband suffers from two neurological diseases. He has good days and days that are not so good when he cannot move at all by himself. The Get-U-U

The sling rides up no matter how tightly one secures it and it doesn't lift patient up as expected

richard y. from vacaville, ca (caregiver)

as a caregiver I find that this is so good and great for the wife, easy to use, I can not put into words how good this make us both feel. thanks

Not great on carpet

roderick i. from detroit, mi (caregiver)

My wife has MS

Mainly ease of use, am able to move my mother from bed to chair and back again per one person. Thanks for a great product with a very reasonable price.

It has one draw back, the arms needs to be about 6" longer to be able to sit her back further in her bed and recliner. The bed rail want let it go under the bed, to sit her down without having to physically lift her from the edge. Medicare should pay for this since they pay for the other lifts that scared my mother because the chain caused her to move out of control.

frances h. from pleasent shade, tn (caregiver)

This was purshed for my 87y/o mother who has an amputated right leg above the knee. This is used to exercise & keep her left leg useable.

the ease to be able to use-now I can move my husband by myself and not have to wait for extra help like I did when I used the hoyer.

really can't complain-does everything it should

maryann m. from jackson, mi (caregiver)

My husband is 60 and his spinal cord is injured and he cannot move on his own.

Simplicity and ease of use

Maneuverability on carpet and/or tile floor.

wayne h. from tiffin, oh

I am a polio survivor who has developed post polio syndrom wit the progressively weakening muscles. I recently fell and messed up my left knee.
