Review from a very grateful daughter
My mother LOVES baths and HATES showers. She uses the bathtub not only for bathing, but also to soak her legs before bed and to relax. During a recent illness, she felt unsafe getting into the bathtub. I puzzled and puzzled, trying to think of a safe way to assist her. I found grab bars galore, but given her general weakness/unsteadiness, those were not an option.
I felt like yelling, "EUREKA," when I came across this lift during my 57th search (okay I might be exaggerating slightly) on Amazon for ideas. I'm not sure why it didn't show up in my initial searches, but it's exactly what she needed. I was a bit concerned she would not be willing to use this "contraption." Oh, boy, I was wrong! Once she got past her initial surprise, she was eager to try it. Here's my quick list of pros . .
Fits in a small tub
Sturdy
Easy to clean
Lightweight
Easy to operate (my mother had it down in 2 minutes)
Easy to charge
The only possible con is its price. But let me assure you, it is worth every penny. I would have given the world to find a solution for my mother. I was thrilled to pay hundreds of dollars.
Although my mother may soon not NEED the lift, I see her continuing to use it "just in case." She is also telling all her friends/relations about this amazing lift - my uncle who has had a stroke, her girlfriend who is undergoing radiation treatment, etc. . .
If this review sounds like an advertisement for the product, be assured it is not. It is simply the review of a very grateful daughter.
