Heavy duty, well contructed sling. Only difference from our old one, is that it did not have clips, therefore it took some training to understand how to attached the sling to the lift.

It would have been nice if the description of the item, had discussed how it attached to the sling. ( Or maybe it did and I just didn't see it.

The sling is extremely heavy duty. We replaced an identical sling that we used every day for ten years. The different strap options allow for a variety of lifting positions. I have tested the sling on myself and found it to be very comfortable.

None. We looked at other products and weren't ever tempted to try another brand

The fact that it is easy to slip under the patient and then it easily slips out from under them when they are place in the wheelchair or on the bed. The sturdiness of the construction makes both the patient and the caregiver fell confident in it's use.

I have found no weaknesses whatsoever.

No electricity or batteries needed,simple to use and adapts to a large range of weight capaceties.

It is large,takes up alot of space. It is not a piece of equipment one can take to other places where patient is going.

The quality seems very good, and it is perfect for our needs.

When we first got lift we could not get it to operate. You staff put us in contact with a tech from the manufacturer. The problem was that the cable for the motor is very hard to plug into the control unit. I took a lot of force to get it plugged in. Somthing that would help is better instructions for the product that tell you that it requires a lot of force to connect the motor.

The sling is not wide enough at the shoulders. When the user is lifted in the sling it puts to much pressure on her shoulders. I also purchased a mesh bath sling it is also to narrow across the shoulders. The user is normal in it during her bath for 10 to 15 minute and it leaves red marks where it cuts into her shoulders. The size that I got was a medium and this was the correct size according to the Hoyer size chart.I am going to order a large and see if it fits any better
