product works as we expected.

The safety it provides, by being a good solid lift, is the most important feature.

This lift is used in an Adult Family Home for a 27 year old who has CP. It is used to transfer him from bed to the shower room and back to his room.

The big wheels are better for bariatric patients, but still not good enough to glide easily over carpet.

The product did not come with a technician to set it up: FedEx dropped off the 100lb+ box off and we had to put it together ourselves. The SpinLife customer service rep told me on the phone that I could set it up myself, no tools required. I had to get on the phone with the manufacturer. It definitely does require tools (two wrenches) to tighten the bolts in a way that makes it safe to use.

The user of this product is a 94-year old woman who is 295 lbs and can no longer walk.

It is easy to use, and you feel safe when sitting inside the sling.

I would like to see the bar angle to a position so that the individual could hold onto it. A person might feel safer if they could reach and hold onto the bar instead of the ropes.

Ease of use. It eliminates the stress of backaches for the caregiver since it is no longer necessary to pump up the hydraulic lift. Push button power is the way to go, especially when it has to be used multiple times during the day.

Have not found any problems with the product, except for needing help in putting it together. The main problem is that the insurance companies don't see that a product of this type is a necessity for older couples who don't have the strength to use the manual lifts.

Smooth operation and easy to manipulate the person in the sling.

Assembly from cartons was not easy. Would not operate on first try, then discovered the safety switch/button had been pushed in.

Not provided

Large wheels that move more easily on carpet and a great range of height adjustability.

The legs of this hoyer are very long and it is not able to be used in the bathroom changing area because of the lack of space to maneuver it.
