Carex Premium Power 17 inch Chair Lift for Stand Assist - Chair Lift Assist Devices for Easy Lift Assist - Fully Electric Power Seat for 100% Sit to Stand Lift Supports up to 300 lbs, Black

This portable chair lift is way to big for a recliner chair. The height is 4 inches. The top of the chair lift went to the top of the arm rest. So if anyone sat on it they would be sitting at the arm rest height!!. Unable to rest their arms and could wobble right off the chair.I purchased this item for my Mom, a few months ago. She of course could not use it. I normally read reviews prior to purchasing & check if the item is returnable. I saw "in blue" that this item was eligible for returns. Little did I know I should have click on the "Eligible for Returns" to see that item really isnt returnable unless it is damaged or defective. So like everyone else that purchased this item & was disappointed in it. I am out $200. My Mom recently passed away. So I am getting around to writing this review and will try to fiqure out a way to donate it or sell it

I just love this as I'm physically challenged and can't rise from my office chair easily. I think I might even buy another one. It's very comfortable and just push the switch and you don't have to hold it down. The switch arm is moveable and is by the arm of my chair. I just return it back to level and it's ready to go again. I got the smallest one, I'm a size 14-16, and it fits perfectly. Buy this one! The motor is in the center of the cushion and feels hard and gives a low backache. So I strapped a dining room chair cushion on. I recommend you get a gel cushion and that should make it much more comfortable. I've used it daily for about 5 years and have had no problems with the motor, but a large or heavy person might have an issue with it. I turn chair sideways to back it up to a wall when going to stand up to stabilize it, and the left arm of my chair is against my desk so it won't swivel. I do the same to sit down. I can't sit or stand from anything that moves. Remember it's the back of seat that raises, so plant your feet tightly against the floor so you won't slide.

The product looked good but only worked once and stopped completely. Appears to have burnt out the motor. Carey was very helpful with the return.

My disabled father needed help getting out of his chair and this seat was fantastic - BUT only for the 3 weeks that the first 2 seats worked! They function great until one day they just stop with no warning! I was very careful to make sure the chair had a hard surface which completely supported the lift seat, my father never uses it to help him sit down, it only gets used 2 times a day, he is well under the weight limit and assists in getting up so it's not a total lift . The first one literally broke out of it's plastic casing- the second just stopped -they act like they are not getting any power. It is a shame that Carex doesn't fix this design flaw. Amazon has been great about replacing the units, but I need the seat to work! Please fix this product design. My back needs this product!

We were looking for a lifting aid for my mother who would be visiting us. She has a chair at home that helps her get up and really needs this assistance instead of someone pulling her up by the arm (and hurting her in the process). This does exactly as it claims. Both my husband and I tried it out in several different chairs - there is a hundred pound difference in our weight and several inches in height. The seat lift worked perfectly for both of us. It is a nice, easy, smooth lift and will put you on your feet in a more upright position (I notice when people struggle to lift out of a sitting position, they are bent over forward and risk falling). My mother is in her mid-80's and not very strong. She did not require any assistance when using this lift. It is a pretty comfortable seat and has substantial weight so it does not move around. It fits in a lot of different seats. Highly recommended!

I bought this for my 90-year old father who refused to replace his favorite chair with one that lifts him. It works well as described. Just be aware that it's very tall, so before you buy it, imagine yourself sitting in the chosen chair with a 4" platform under your bottom. You lose your arm rests--they are blocked by the cushion. Your feet don't reach the ground. If your chair is a recliner and you're accustomed to leaning back and resting your head on the chair back, that's not going to happen--your head will stick up above the back of the chair because you're sitting 4" higher now. If you're willing to put up with those changes, you'll be pleased with this product. If, like my dad, you want everything to be exactly as it has always been, then you probably won't like it. I'm giving it 4 stars because it's exactly what they describe; but I'm just letting you know that there are a few flies in the ointment.

Like it says in so many other reviews, my seat broke down within 2 months of using. The motor hummed but the seat did not move unless you helped pull it up. The Carex manufacturer's warranty states that they won't take it back without having the dealer call them, but I have phoned them for help anyway and left a message. I ordered through iSave online site and have left them a message, but with the COVID crisis I don't know if they are even open. I haven't heard back from them either so far.I will update this review when/if I hear from either of them. Otherwise you can assume I was unable to get it fixed and am out a goodly amount of money. I purchased the "Premium" on the false assumption that I was getting a better product than others.
