Carex Upeasy Seat Assist Plus - Chair Lift And Sofa Stand Assist - Portable Lifting Seat For Persons 200 Pounds to 340 Pounds, Provides 70% Assistance

This works perfectly. My 85 year old grandma was getting stuck/using 4 pillows on our outside furniture when sitting outside. It would take her 10 trail runs before she would be able to stand.This product has given her the ability to get from sitting position to standing in one go. Much easier on her hip and legs.Setting it up was slightly confusing at first but once we figured out how to set the weight level it worked amazing.Would definitely buy again if needed but the product seems sturdy enough to last the rest of her use of it.

Defective and I bought it over a month ago due to having the second surgery earlier than planned just getting up to where I can use it and now I am left with a defective product and lost money

This seat riser is the best item in my house. No more back and knee pains while trying to get up out of my chairs. It’s portable, lightweight and comfortable. I’ve already recommended your product to a couple of my friends who could also use your product. Also; it’s so much cheaper than buying a lift recliner. Thank you.

I got this to help my 92 year old grandmother. But she is 5'2", when set for her weight the seat sits up to high for her to get on it. I even lowered the weight most of the way down but it was still to high for her she did not feel steady trying to get it down. If you try to sit on it from the edge where it is lower then it is hard to push down.Now the seat does work, I tired it out my self but I am 6'3". What they need is a design that allows someone to get it in the seated position and lock it there, then have a release when the person needs to get up. I realize that may not help people living alone.I gave it 3 stars because the description should be better displaying the height when it is in the up position in a standard chair.

This unit was not easy to open and adjust. You had to open it while standing the unit on edge opposite the unit handle and then you push down to slightly open the clam shell so you can get a hand inside and adjust the spring setting. Several settings are available but the lowest I could see was 95 to 240 pounds range. My wife at 160 pounds could not compress the shell. I used it for 10 days to make it less stiff and at 240 pounds I could compress the shell and it would decompress when I stood up but it was not comfortable for a 3-hour evening watching television. Although the clam shell worked as advertised the curvature caused a feeling of being off balance when first sitting down and then standing up. Since I purchased it for my wife and she could not use it I returned it to Amazon for credit. As described by the manufacturer it is hard and uncomfortable while sitting. The unit works well for getting you up and sitting down but most persons like to sit a while in their chair and that is where this unit falls short.

My 88 yr old Mother has been using a recliner for years to help keep her feet elevated. Last year she bought a new recliner but resisted buying a lift chair because of cost and she did not feel like she was that bad off to need a lift chair. At that time, she was not having as much trouble with her right side. A few months ago she began to have pain and weakness on her right side due to a pinched nerve and bone spurs in the neck. It was getting harder for her to get out of the recliner and she would just flop down into the recliner when going to sit down. To get up, she would have to rock back and forth to get momentum to get out of the recliner.She finally came to the realization that she was going to have to have surgery to get better and out of pain. She also realized that she was not going to be able to strain like she was to get out of the chair when she had surgery. She saw an ad for this upeasy lift chair and asked me to order it. I read the reviews and cautioned her that she would have to be careful with it and it could throw her out if she was not careful leaning forward or leaning over the side to reach for something. And yes I know it says not to use it with recliners. So we threw caution to the wind and ordered it off amazon.The ones on amazon were less expensive than the ad she showed me. The device came very quickly. It was very easy to setup and the video was very easy to follow. We practiced with the seat in a hard chair first and got the setting right for her weight. On average she weighs 155lbs. We have had it about a month and I am happy to see her not flopping down in the chair and not having to rock to get out of the chair. It lets her down easy and pops her right up.She has had her neck surgery and I think it has been a god send to have her using this uplifting seat at this time. The device just lifts her up as she steads herself on the arms of the recliner. The surgery did not fix the right shoulder issues and she is looking to have more surgery where this device is probably going to more invaluable as she recovers from a future rotator cuff surgery.After neck surgery, she was having trouble getting out of the hard kitchen chair she uses to eat her meals. She carried the seat into the kitchen several times and said I guess we better order another one so I can get out of this chair. We tried putting a few seat cushions in that chair to see if that helped and it did, so at this time we are not ordering another one. We might have to reconsider if she ends up having to have surgery on her right shoulder and she is not able to use her arm to push herself up out of the kitchen chair.When I was researching this device I wondered how comfortable this would be because it did not look as comfortable as a recliner seat. This was a big concern as she spends most of her day and evening in this chair until she goes to bed. She reports that it is comfortable.I have seen her lean to the side to reach for something and has not had a problem and she has used caution regarding activities that would require her to lean forward. She takes the lift seat out of the recliner to do activities like putting on shoes and socks. I am not seeing why it is not recommended for a recliner.I give it a thumbs up for setup and easy of use in our application. Hoping it will remain operational and in good condition over time.
