   I’m a fan. This device is WONDERFUL. I don’t know what we’d do without it.Summary: This is a wonderful device which is able to transfer my wife between bed, car, potty, wheelchair, mobility scooter, and commode very easily. There is a motorized version available, but that unit is wider and I have an issue going through some doors in the house. I really don’t see all the benefit of the motorized unit because the manual unit cranks up and down fairly easily. The unit breaks down into 4 main pieces – two arms, the T-bar, and the base, which then store easily in the car. I can fit this unit plus a mobility scooter plus dialysis equipment plus 2 grandkids plus myself and my wife into a Nissan Rogue. I think there may be room left over for a second scooter. My wife was very insecure leaving rehab and coming home, but this has salved her qualms.Notes: a) Assembly instructions which come with the unit are next to worthless. Instead follow the link to “Visit the seveni Store” on the Amazon product page, Portable Manual Lift and play the assembly video on that page. b) Note that each wheel has 2 metal tabs. The outer tab locks the wheel and the inner one releases it. I didn’t realize there were 2 separate tabs until PT showed me. c) To dissassemble the unit for car transport, remove the 4 pins from the T-bar and store the 2 arms, T-bar, and base. You can replace the pins with bolts and nuts available at your local hardware store. d) You want the base to fit around the units you are transferring from. So in my case I had to set it to the max of the wheelchair, scooter, and commode, and make sure it still fit in the door frames. I used a rubber mallot to open up the width. e) I basically just use the pad with the hole in it (toilet pad?) because it’s soft and more flexible, which makes it ideal for use in the car. e) The wheels tend to bind up over floor bumps such as saddles, grout lines, and the like; but once you get the hang of it it’s not much of a problem. Outside where my driveway has expansion joints is much harder. But even there you can rotate the unit to try different wheels and eventually it works.

   I was excited when I first purchased this transfer product. The idea of a device that could safely and comfortably move my paralyzed husband seemed like a great solution. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what I expected. The biggest issue for me was the poor build quality. The wrench that came with the product was so flimsy that it bent just after a few uses. This made assembling and disassembling the device incredibly frustrating. It felt like I was working with something that wasn’t built to last.But the real problems started when I tried to actually use the device. The safety of the transfer process was a huge concern. The device didn’t fit under our bed, so I couldn’t even use it to get my husband into position for the transfer. When I tried to move him to his wheelchair, the device wouldn’t fit through the doorways or over the thresholds, which meant I couldn’t even get him from one place to another without risking injury. With his weight on the device, it didn’t feel stable, and I had to abandon the attempt because it just didn’t feel safe.This product was not designed to be durable in the long run, and I felt like it was a huge waste of money.In the end, I would not recommend this transfer device to anyone. It’s poorly built, unsafe, uncomfortable, and definitely not worth the money. It might look good in theory, but it’s not something you can rely on for actual use. I wish I had done more research before making the purchase.

   It supplies a solution to the problem of transfers in a fairly easy and a safe manner. In usage, you will notice that the wheels do not work well on carpet, although for me it is tolerable. Take note that if/when you need to adjust the width of the wheel carriage, there has to be zero weight on the device. That is a nuisance, but a fact. For example, in order to lift my wife off of her wheelchair, the carriage arms have to be set fairly wide. However to get the device through a normal bathroom door the wheel arms have to be fairly narrow. So I pluck my wife off of the wheelchair with the wheel arms wide, then lower her onto a kitchen chair to take all weight off of the lift, then push the arms inward so they’ll fit through the bathroom door. Then I can get my wife lifted up and into the bathroom.
