Hoyer Advance-E Professional Patient Lift

Not provided

The breakdown of the unit. We were hoping it would have a carrying case. Perhaps, I did not pay close enough attention to the description. Commercial travel is difficult.

I am a 68-year-old female challenged by MS. My home has been modified to accommodate some of my needs. My primary provider of care is my spouse.

Just push button lifts up or down.

It's big, but for a large person that is what it takes.

billy t. from alton, il (caregiver)

My wife 68 fell, broke 3 ribs and her collar bone. This lift works great, it's big so you will need room to use it, but it works.

Compact and very easy to use. We have the battery operated model that quickly gets me back into my chair.

Only weakness we notice is that once I'm up in the air, it's hard for my wife to push it on carpeting.

The user is a 53 year old male with MS. He has a problem getting up from the ground.

The machine is portable, easy to use, and fulfills the needs of picking up a disabled person with minimum effort.

The directions for use could be better.

thomas m. from metairie, la (caregiver)

My wife has heart trouble and is very over-weight. She experiences dizzy spells and falls down. This machine works great.

Ease of use

Hard to move in tight places.

william n. from canonsburg, pa

Male, 74 yrs. old, can't stand or walk

Easy to move into position. Able to store until needed but be aware battery has to be charged to use. Stable in lifting person.

Found no weaknesses at this time.

deborah e. from waco, tx (caregiver)

94 year old woman with walking issues and looses balance.

Looks and well made folds up for travel- good design.

Could be little smaller little lighter but I guess it's about right to be safe- no tools needed - great feature!

floyd f. from chester, va (caregiver)

65 year old man wife has MS and falls sometimes. We are home alone and needed a fold up smaller lift. This one is great!

Easy to assemble. Wide lifting range (low to high). Easy to adjust leg spacing. Battery lasts a long time on one charge.

Spreader bar is a little too wide. Would be more comfortable for my wife if it were a couple inches narrower.

brian t r. from hatboro, pa (caregiver)

The patient is a 50 year old woman with MS. She has no control over her legs or left arm, and limited control over her right arm.

Able to pick up patient from floor, gets around large furniture.

No place to store the power cord on the lift when in use.

ellen b. from locust grove, ga (caregiver)

ALS patient with limited mobility.

Very well made

NONE. We are thinking about getting another for upstairs.
