Graham-FieldLumex Stand Assist Patient Transport Unit, LF1600

Having a degenerative neurological condition, the challenge are many fold. Having the ability to transition to various areas around my house is going to be a wonderful change. Product is solid and appreciated.

This is a great product for the right use case. Unfortunately for us, medium carpet in an apartment made it too difficult to push for my elderly mother (father is user). This was easy to assemble, high quality, and appeared to be a very nice product. It worked well where we used it on the tile.There are a few things to understand that aren't apparent in the video (at least to me).1. User MUST be able to pull himself up using the handbar. There is no assisted lift. Once up, driver can swing seats behind users rear, so user can sit back. This is nice.2. Unit is sturdier and more level than I could have hoped for. I'm 6'3", (about 185cm) and did not feel unsturdy when riding as a test.3. Floor height transitions are the enemy, no matter how small. Imagine driving a loaded shopping cart over a small speed bump. That's about what it's like. Half an inch was impossible. Although post return, I bought a nice rubber product from RampIT that might have solved this problem. Certainly makes it easier on wheelchair.4. Tile worked great, pretty sure hardwood, laminate would be fine. Apartment had low to medium carpet weave. I could push it, my mom could not without a lot of effort. This is what made me decide to return, I couldn't defeat this.5. The seats swing into place very easily, but have safety pull rings to open. These were mildly difficult for me, moderately to high difficulty for elderly mother. It was just getting too hard.6. User had to be able to hold self up when removing seat.7. You have to think about logistics with what you want to do. There are wheels in front that require clearance. Transfer to/from a recliner was impossible. Bed was fine. Toilet was very tight fit, but fine, except that it was difficult to handle getting pants up, etc... Across the bars.Overall excellent engineered and manufactured product. Only improvements I'd recommend are better wheels or wheel options to deal with mild carpet. The friction was a killer. Also, the pull tabs on the seat releases are potentially too difficult for elderly users. A bonus feature would have been some kind of attachment point for the gait belt for added security when stowing seat.I'm in the process of return, had to pay about $35 for return shipping which I felt was fair, this is a heavy item. I had taken pictures of the box packing as I opened it and pulled stuff out. Never would have figured out the repack without them.Overall, if you are on the fence, you should probably try this product. I'm glad I did and wished it would have worked out. If they move to a place with all tile and no transitions, I'd order again.

This device makes all the difference in our ability to care for our semi-paralyzed family member at home. We are able to safely transport her from room to room and area to area without fear of injury to our loved one or ourselves. Before we got this device we didn't know if it was going to be possible to care for our loved one at home and now we can. Assembly was easy, the device is sturdy and very easy to maneuver about the house. I highly recommend this product!

Wish I would have purchased sooner. It makes it so easy to transport my wife from the bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to couch or chair etc. Well worth the money.

Thank you so much for the fast delivery! This machine is little but mighty. My brother has Parkinson’s and this machine works so well to help him lift himself. It’s so much easier on my back. I’m so happy I got this for him!!! I give this 5 stars !!!!!! Thanks Again!!!!
