INCREDIBLE PRODUCT, OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE
Initially, I was a little skeptical about how well this would work, and was really concerned with how expensive it is. But, I am extraordinarily happy with the purchase. It is extremely sturdy, very well made, easy to use, completely safe and absolutely crucial to have when my parents fall and can’t get back up – even with my help. The first time I used it, I was shocked by how well it worked – and how quickly and easily I was able to get my dad up and into his comfortable chair. I can say with complete honesty and gratitude that I have used this chair dozens of times and no longer have to risk injury (to my parents or me) when helping them up. And, more importantly, my parents don’t feel as embarrassed or upset when they fall, they don’t have to wait around for me to find someone to help me pick them up – and they no longer feel like they are ‘burdensome’ in any way when they fall. (This is huge!) I no longer have to run around to see if a neighbor is home (to help me), nor do I have to call 911 for help (if nobody else is around.) AND, my dad is beyond THRILLED to be able to take a bath again – rather than only have a sponge bath. To me, this chair is very worth every single penny.
The home healthcare professionals that come work with my parents (nurse, PT, OT, etc.,) had never seen a chair like this before, and asked where I got it. They took pictures and short video clips of the chair and how it works so they could share them with their other patients — and with their companies. I have to say that this is a game changer for anyone that takes care of a loved one that may need some help getting back up after falling, and/or for those that have difficulty getting in and out of a bathtub and want to be able to take a bath again – easily and safely. Also, if you talk to your parent’s/loved one’s PT or OT – or even their primary care physician, you may even be able to have healthcare insurance, Medicare, Medicaid (etc.,) pay for it.
I have to share one more thing that I consider to be extremely important – perhaps THE MOST important part of my experience buying this chair. My mom has dementia and cut the cord that attaches the “remote control” for the chair to the charging component. So, there was no possible way that we could use the chair anymore, as it is powered by the remote control battery. As a result, I emailed the company, explained what happened, and asked if there was any possible way that I could buy JUST a new remote control and charging cord – instead of having to buy another full chair, just so I could get the remote control/charging cord.
Shockingly, I received the most beautiful, kind, supportive return email from the company, the very next day. The email began by thanking me for taking care of my parents and acknowledging how difficult it can be to do so (on many different levels) – and so many other wonderful, supportive things. Then, they told me that they had ALREADY put another remote control (and charging cord) in the mail, and that they were happy to replace it for free. Sure enough, within two days it arrived – and I was able to use the chair perfectly again.
I don’t know how many other companies would replace an integral component like that for free – especially when the reason their product no longer works is 100% the customer’s ‘fault.’ (I’ve certainly never had any company do such a thing.) Moreover, I am STUNNED by the beautiful email/message that the company sent me – it was not some sort of quick/canned response. It was so kind, loving, supportive, and heartwarming – it literally brought tears to my eyes. The message was highly inspirational, and said ALL of the things that caretakers want to (and SHOULD) be told – but NEVER ARE told – for all of the time, focus, energy, effort, patience, care and love they provide – and the sacrifices they make on a daily basis – in order to give their absolute best to their loved one, when the loved one needs it the most. Yet, this company said it all –> and MORE.
I am extremely thankful that the company created such a wonderful, important product – especially one that nobody else has made (at least I hadn’t seen anything else like it – despite thoroughly researching products for months – when I bought it.) I HIGHLY recommend this product – with ZERO reservations. It is a game changer, especially with respect to accessibility, safety and care-taking in general. Believe me. You will be thrilled that you bought it.
Words cannot adequately describe how grateful I am to the company for their kindness, compassion, empathy, understanding, support, generosity and, frankly, their humanity. I would not hesitate – even for a second – to buy ANY product from this company in the future.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, MAIDeSITe

This lift is awesome
My husband has Parkinson’s and is at high risk of falling due to instability when walking and frozen gait. It’s challenging to help him get back up, and at some point, he may not have sufficient strength. Plus, it puts me in jeopardy of injury, and one of us has to be fully functional! This machine is exceptional. I’ve wasted so much time, money, and energy on assistive devices to make things easier, and so often they fall short. This does not. It comes assembled. All you have to do is charge up the remote. The instructions are the clearest and best (and simplest) of anything I’ve ever gotten. The machine is so well-designed, sturdy – comfortable even! I don’t want to have to use it, but I feel much better knowing we had it. Some design advice that would make it perfect would be a mechanism to lock it closed when folded and out of use, and wheels so it could roll rather than be picked up. But it still gets a 5* from me because it is really an exceptional piece of equipment that works beautifully.

Electric chair lift
It came pretty much assembled. Tried it out and it worked perfectly. I have MD and fall and can’t get up. This chai lifts me up about 20 inches, enough to get me back on my feet.

Works Well but Heavy and Awkward to Carry
Got this to help my husband get up when he falls and it works well for that.
What I like:
1. It does raise my husband to a height where he can stand up.
2. It charges rapidly. I used it the first day I go it after just 2 hoursâ charging at which point it was fully charged.
What I Donât Like:
1. This unit is hinged and comes with no way to keep the two halves together as you carry it. This is not good since it is heavy and if one of the halves falls open it can damage whatever it hits including you. I am going to get a bungee cord to put around it. But, considering the price, the manufacturer should provide something.
2. When it is open for the person to climb on, the back rest leans back a lot past vertical. This significantly increases the amount of open space needed for this unit to operate (from the top of the back rest to the front of the seat). The alternative is to let the back rest lean against a piece or furniture or a wall. Be advised, if itâs a wall, it will mar the wall when it is operated. But the point is, unfortunately you cannot choose the area where your loved one or patient is going to fall and this unitâs spacial requirements can limit where you can use it.
Because it does work well, I am rating it a generous 4.

Works great, but I don’t recommend it for use without outside assistance
I have used this several times to get my mother back up after she has fallen. This lift chair works great to get a person back on their feet, HOWEVER, it needs the operator to steady it until the person being lifted is off the chair. I would never want the person being lifted to do so on their own. Their are suction cup feet, but in order to work, they require a smooth surface, so they won’t work on things like carpet or aggregate concrete, but I’m not sure how effective they would be anyway. So I just trust myself to steady it while lifting my mother. It definitely has made things easier on my back while getting her back up.

Easy to operate
I bought this for my mom as she slid out of her hospital bed and chair a few times. This morning I used it for the first time. Getting her on the life was easy and it worked without a hitch. I could then transfer her back to the wheelchair and then into bed. Quick, easy and good for my back!

I purchased the MaideSite Electric Chair Lift about a week ago. I had two day shipping and the product arrived on time and in excellent condition. It was very well packaged. I unpacked the box and took out the chair. I then plugged in the controller to the charger. It took approximately 4 hours to fully charge the controller. I then plugged the controller into the chair lift. I sat on the unit seat and upon pressing the UP button, it lifted me up perfectly. I felt very safe going UP. I was surprised how smoothly it lifted. I purchased this chair lift, to assist me to lift my wife up off the floor after she had a fall. She has had balance issues for several years. I was having difficulty getting her up off the floor, to the point of injuring my back when trying. This chair lift will do the job. It is the perfect solution to my problem. I was reluctant to call 911 for an ambulance when she had a fall. The unit is very well made. It has a small footprint so it can be used in tight situations. The unit is fully waterproof, so it can also be used as a bathtub lift. The padded seat is comfortable. I am very happy with my purchase. My wife and I both feel relieved that we have a way of getting her up off the floor if she has any more falls. Hopefully we won’t need to use it.

Arrived in good order, and earlier than expected. Purchased through Amazon AU, arrived with US plugs. If it was on the site I missed it. Lucky we travel frequently and have several International Adapters.

My mother had a few falls and it was a struggle to get her up. This chair is easy to use and enables us to get her up from the floor with little to no assistance. Wish Iâd bought this months ago!!! Highly recommend
