md patient 50yrs old

Can pick up from the floor which is the best strength of any lifts.

It is a little difficult to get the sling attached to the lift.

Age 72 Does not have any mobility at all. The lift allows him to be placed in his wheelchair by one person as well as bathed and bedding changed.

Well built. Easy assembly.

Wheels are terrible.

Large gentleman, overweight, unable to walk or stand

The strengths of this product is its ease of use and its maneuverability. I slipped in the shower the day after the lift was delivered. My husband did not have any problems lifting me off of the floor and onto the bed.

We have only used the lift once and we do not know of any weaknesses for the Hoyer Lift.

I am 57 years old, I have Multiple Sclerosis, and I am very overweight. . This disease has progressed to the point where I cannot walk at all.

Simple to use

Could use better wheels and more powerful lift

carl n. from butler, mo (caregiver)

My wife has MS. At 62 she can no longer get out of bed her self.

Doesn't seem flimsy or prone to breakage very readily. Good manufacturing.

I do wish it could lift a patient higher when it comes to transferring to a bed. All mattresses are different so if you have quite a high bed, you have to make sure and place the patient very appropriately in their sling to raise them high enough.
