   Reviewer: kelly m. from bryan, tx (caregiver)

   User Details: The user has limited mobility and is unable to get up when he falls. He weighs 260 lbs.

   Strengths: Very well made.

   Weaknesses: For such an important piece of equipment that must be put together properly to be safe, the instructions that are supplied are pitiful. They make what should be a quick easy process a difficult one, leaving a person questioning how accurately they interpreted those instructions.

   User Details: Phil K. from Rockwall, TX. Caregiver for wife with Multiple Sclerosis who broke her leg.

   Strengths: Excellent quality. Base widens and narrows perfectly for getting through doors and shower area and around wheel chair and toilet area. Perfect for our needs. We consider it a miracle. Don't know what we would have done without it.

   Weaknesses: Only one weakness--when my wife is in the sling, her weight makes it really hard to push the lift on carpet. Rolls GREAT on tile. I don't look at it as a weakness. I view it as exercise for me!
