Genesis 400 Electric

It does lift higher than most lifts I have seen and used.

Great quality but, the bottom only opens up very small making it very difficult to put a patient in a lift chair. The bottom needs to open wider for easier transfers to lift chairs.

Can be used by a somewhat mobile patient. Battery operated so it can go wherever I am. Powerful enough to lift me. Priced much lower than most other lifts I've seen.

Haven't found any yet.

I am a 60 year old MS patient. I have very limited use of my legs. I have trouble getting off the floor and into my wheelchair.

The mounting of the Bike

Stability, so I had to screw to floor, and I had to purchase extensions for pedals because of my problem my ankles would hit bracket, problem solved.

My husband has died before I could use it. I understand returning it would not be an option.

Ease of use. He is able to assist by lowering himself in the chair while I quide him.

None

diane s. from skokie, il (caregiver)

My husband is paralyzed on his left side and I use the lift to move him to the wheelchair and back. He is 6'1" and weights 180 lbs.

The first patient life we bought was great because we used it on hard floors. It was easy to put together and very easy to use. We loved it so much I bought one for my house for when Kevin spends the night.

The only weakness I found and it is a big one. It will not move on carpeting once the additional weight of the patient is in the sling.

lorraine m. from newnan, ga (caregiver)

My son has MS and can no longer get out of bed using a transfer board. We previously purchased a patient lift to use at his condo. It was excellent.

Ease of use, very mobile in small places steady,not unstable.

The new hand pendant is difficult to use, buttons are hard to push, up and down arrows are so small have to get reading glasses to see them, not for the elderly!

Cannot swivel or pick up from the side, difficult to move by oneself when in use.

frank w. from monroe, me

Age 79. when on floor legs will not get me up. Also my lower back will not support weight of upper body.

Easy to use

Don't see any

Battery powered. I'm concerned that the battery will last for a few years with such little use?

Very hard to maneuver on low pile carpeting.

nancy w. from rio vista, ca (caregiver)

Daughter (49 yrs) has Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. Lives about 60 miles from me but spends time 4/5 days a month w/me.

The hydraulic feature makes it easy to use.

Needs better instructions of how to position person and use the sling and which slings are for what use.

carol m. from spanish fork, ut (caregiver)

Patient is 77 year old male, broke his hip. Has healed, but has mobility issues.

Very simple to operate.

Would like the spreader to expand further.

oscar j. from cookeville, tn (caregiver)
