SuperHandy GoRise FC Electric Floor to Chair Lift for Seniors and People with Disabilities - 400 Lbs Capacity, Seating Transfer Assistance, Magnetic Remote [Patent Pending]

After calling 911 fall assist twice in four months, we went looking for another answer to a falls with the inability of the fall victim to get up by themselves, and also to give a break of heavy lifting to their caregiver.Upon delivery by Amazon, the boxed lift was a little heavy to get in the house for assembly, but once in, it was easy to assemble. A small personal wrench helped the job go faster than using only the included tools.The seat goes almost to the floor -(about an inch away)- for an easy scoot onto the lift after a fall. The seat then raises to dining chair height for a comfortable transfer to another surface such as a bed or chair, or to allow for standing up.With only two wheels it is moved like a trolley for the repositioning of the one who has fallen, and also to be moved to be stored. Whoever is assisting the faller needs to realize that pushing a person in the "trolley seat up mode" requires some strength, so try to be as close to the place for transferring or standing as possible.This lift provides peace of mind for any future fall episodes and can undo the need to call 911 for fall pickup help. 911 would still be necessary if there are any outward signs of harm from a fall, however 911 could also use the device to assist the person who has fallen. The moveable arms are also a big bonus, especially for transferring from the lift seat to another sitting surface.Other reviews mentioned the slowness of the seat movement, but it is a small inconvenience for all the benefit it provides. The motion upward from the floor allows the person who has fallen a chance to catch their breath which can be beneficial before transferring or standing for the situation being addressed ie a fall and difficulty getting off the floor. So take a breath and be patient. :-)911 provides a great service, but this device adds a little more privacy and dignity to the fall victim!! Hopefully it will collect dust, but we will keep it charged and ready just in case.I would highly recommend this item!

This is not something that me as someone who's only 35, wants to need or use, BUT, it's already relieved quite a lot of anxiety. As someone living alone while dealing with a health condition, I am high risk for falls due to muscle weakness in my legs, and getting up is impossible and sometimes requiring me to call for help. Having this allows me to know I will ALWAYS be OK to get up on my own, and my family doesn't worry as much. In addition, this only took 5 minutes to put together, assembly involves a few bolts and screws, and it's up and running. The fact that it can roll, and charges up allowing use without a power outlet, this thing is great. Thank you!

Heavy steel frame. Well balanced made with quality, institutional grade materials. Tried it out, putting it thru its paces on my 6ft 200lb son before I would ever use it on my bilat amputee elderly spouse. Shook it with son in it, had him shift his weight to check for instability. Motor was absolutely silent going up an down fully loaded. My spouse is only 145lbs so a tall 200lb man is test enough. We tested it with loading and unloading from floor to a chair. Did very well. The remote controls are attached to the device with a long flexible cord so it won't get lost and its magnetic so it sticks to the side of the column out of the way when not in use. I need to get a adhesive mounted cord winder to wind up the cord that is attached to the device that plugs into the wall to either use it with outlet power, or when I need to charge up the battery for battery power operations. Indicator lights on the battery pack and on the remote itself warns you when the battery is getting low and turns green when the battery is fully charged. The heavy steel lift tips onto wheels and rolls away when you want to put it away (empty!) but has firm sturdy handles to balance the device as it moves so its no more heavier or difficult to handle than pushing a empty hand truck (dolly). It passed my safety concerns. I chose this device over a sling type lift because there is no swinging around as you are going up or down making the rider less fearful. The chair has arm rests that raise up out of the way and lowers so the rider has handles to hold onto for natural sitting balance and a seat belt to strap him in. I bought this for fall recovery in the event that my spouse does not have use of his prosthetics to get back up from the floor as I am not capable of lifting him.

It seems like a great product. The only thing was that the motor was broken from the shaft.Eric on customer service was great. He was patient with me and helped me get a new part.

THANKS

This lift gives us so much peace of mind. All I have to do is scoot the person onto the seat and push the button. The lift rises to the level of the bed or transfer chair. Then I transfer the person over. She pats the seat and says 'Thank you Super Handy!' when it gives her a lift. I've never tried rolling her anywhere while seated because it has not been necessary. I feel like we can handle anything that might come up at home now. I was not looking forward to sliding a sling under her as other models would require. I don't worry about future back issues for me anymore.That said, the plastic clips that hold the battery arrived broken. The company sent replacements very quickly, but they still are not designed to do the job. I added three long strips of electrical tape to hold the battery to the mast, and that has done the trick. I only wish these were sold through DME stores so they would be Medicare - reimbursable.Ours was $505 on a Black Friday sale in 2024.
