Lumex LF1600 Stand Assist, Sit to Stand Patient Lift for Elderly Seniors, Chair Transfer & Standing Support Aid

This thing is wonderful! It arrived earlier than expected Christmas week, and my husband had it assembled in less than an hour, including taking it out of the package. My 100-year-old father had broken his neck and needs to be helped around, and this has been so useful. It moves easily, even on our carpet (which is older and flatter). He is over six feet, so he does need to be sure to fit his knees into the pads and then sit, or he risks sitting too high on the seat. We had used a more expensive one at the rehab facility and had hoped to find one locally to purchase, but without luck. We took a chance on this one, and it has been well worth the money. We also have a wheel chair and a walker, so with these three, it has simplified getting him around.

I have MS. I just had a stroke which was a surprise to me. I thought it was an attack. I Spent nearly 40 days in 2 hospitals and then a rehab clinic. Everyone was determined to get me walking and strengthen the muscles in my legs and arms. For two and a half years I used to crawl on the floor in order to take a shower get from room to room and would need my husband and son to help boost me up to get me into an office chair with wheels so I could move on the kitchen floor. I needed help when I came home just to get up the stairs and we thought I would need a stair lift. I had used a surfboard or wooden board to transfer from a wheelchair to the bed or the commode but I would need something else because I was not comfortable using the surfboard and gait belt. My husband tried to get a Sara-Stedy Because that would make it easier for me to do the transfers. He checked everywhere, but our only option was to spend between three and 4 thousand dollars to get a new one. This was not an option for us because of the cost factor. My husband searched everywhere and finally located this. It even works on our carpeting and it is just like the Sara-Stedy they had at The rehabilitation clinic. It is great! We keep it in the living room and it makes transferring from the wheelchair to the commode easy as pie. I am able to help myself get up by hanging on to the bar with just a little boost from my husband or son. The paddles make it easy to rest and the knee pads keep my knees from giving out. I also am Rolled down the hall and put on my bed. I find this so much easier than struggling with the surfboard. I love my stand assist and the price was just right!

Game changer! Family member has left leg/arm numbness and weakness and using this stand assist enables us to safely and easily move her from bed to wheelchair to toilet. This stand assist is truly a blessing!

This is a very helpful, highly useful device. High quality. If there was something that could be improved it would be making it easier for the back seat to be disengaged. Pulling on the rings isn't super easy sometimes. Possibly also coming with a belt of some kind to add a little extra support. But I'm happy with it

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 is a lifesaver if your a caregiver. As a nurse I've used them at work. If the patient can pull themselves up to a standing position with or without assist they can easily be transferred to the toilet chairs or bed. Good price. Highly recommend it

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.

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!!!!
