Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for my mom. With arthritis all over her body taking a bath is like climbing Mount Everest somedays. I assumed by now that contraptions like this had to exist but once I did my homework I didn't know where to buy it. Again, it hit me: "I bet Amazon has it" and sure enough there is was. It isn't that hard to set up although like all instruction manuals it wasn't detailed like I would have liked. It comes with 4 suction cups to anchor it in the tub. They will stick on a good, clean surface but you have to put a lot of pressure. It kept slipping until I decided to get in the tub and stand on each corner as best as I could. That worked. The top/back of the lift slips in horizontally into it's groves. Make sure the hand control is charged for 4 hours before this. Once the top is in place lift it up vertically and a little to the back. Plug in the hand control on the back and hit the yellow triangle. This starts the center poll/lifting thingy to start moving. The little T bar MUST slip in the area just behind the red clip. It will catch and when that does catch the seat will begin to lift. Although she has trouble lifting her legs over the edge of the tub once she's in she sits and making sure she's on it as balanced as possible I lower her in the tub using the blue triangle. If you have an old tub like she does take into consideration that you may lose 4 or more inches in length in the tub once inside it. The suction cups have to be as flat as possible to hold well. The curved/sloped area could make it difficult to hold. I get it back as far as I can and she's ok but not completely comfortable. If you are tall I hope you have a long tub. Still, it's been a life saver all around. I was fearing that she would have to go into a nursing home if I couldn't handle this on my own. Her mind is as sharp as ever and this lift kept her from vegetating in a home. I can't thank you enough.
