Phoenix Premium Power Chair Lift Floor Lift. Push Button Assist Helps Users up from The Floor and to Stand Up Again. 310 lbs. Designed, Stocked, Serviced in The USA

This product is a must, as an aid for falls. It was easy to put together, even though some of the instructions were not very clear. I've had it for a couple of months and only recently had a fall that required assistance for getting up.The hardest part was getting up on the chair seat. You have to be able to raise up your backside far enough to position yourself on the seat of the chair. It is about 4 inches up from the floor, when you first move onto the chair. A small ramp would have made it easier to move yourself onto the seat in the down position.When you get on the chair initially, the back is tilted at an angle so you can lean back and pull yourself onto the chair. Once I was on the seat, it was very easy to start the lift and the chair back moved to a 90 degree angle to support your back. It took a couple of minutes for the chair to be in the full up position.At maximum height, it is equivalent to the height of a kitchen chair. I was able to easily stand and walk to a safe chair with minimal assistance. This lifting chair is amazing, it required some effort to get onto the seat in the down position, but once there, I felt secure. The lifting is very quiet and slow by necessity. When not in use, it sits out of the way in my office. It is very portable, holds a charge well.This is one of the fastest ways I have used to help get me off the floor. Not as much fun as the fire department crew, but less embarrassing. Even if I don't need it but once in a while, this is the best tool I have toward remaining independent.
