I am a 70-year-old woman with two artificial knees. As it's painful to kneel on them to get out of the tub, I haven't had a bath in years. When the Bath Lyft arrived I put it together myself with no tools. I charged the remote and then later I took my first bath in ages. I have a square tub and the side flaps were not an issue. I was able to step into the tub on my own when the water was a good height. As the seat took me to the bottom of the tub, I was submerged up to my armpits. wonderful! The literature reminds you that as the seat reclines, hairwashing can also be accomplished. When I was done I pushed the button and went back up.
Much to know before ordering ! It is heavy in the box so you might need some help. To snap in the back, you might need to kick it in. Do not order if you don't have a very deep tub. Also measure that you have as much of the tub in front of you as will be required for the chair. A long tub in necessary. In an textured acrylic tub, the suction cups may not stick but it will still be stable .Do a trial run dry to make sure you are comfortable and have the room you need. It is probably best to shower elsewhere as soap scum or shampoo, shaving cream may be difficult to clean off. If you have a separate shower, clean yourself there. Use this tub as a soaking tub only so it is easy it keep clean. Even with it all the way down, it takes away about five inches of how deep you will descend. Beyond that, it is wonderful. I have cancer and so much of me aches now. Fill the tub half way and descend down. Then fill the rest of the way .So easy to go down and have it come up to get out of the tub with ease.
Bought this for my 85 year old mom. She said it has allowed her to bath again where before she could not get in the claw foot tub. Said it was a vid send for her being able to live alone.
I love it I can finally take a bath and what I like about it is it goes all the way down to the bottom of the tub. I have a Roman tub and I just love taking a bath and I couldn’t get out of the bathtub because of my knees, and now I get out very easily. It works perfectly, it’s excellent. I would recommend this to anyone and the price was wonderful compared to so many others I had seen. I have been checking for over a year and didn’t think I could afford one until I saw this. It’s wonderful for the money and it’s wonderful for what it is .
I bought this chair so that my mom could take baths (instead of showers) again without the fear of getting stuck in the tub. This chair is working perfectly! She weighs about 130 lbs and it goes up and down well for her. She has been using it only a couple of weeks, but loves it! There are 6 suction cups on the bottom, which I felt better about than the four on others, and it reclines as she goes down.
Other notes: There is not an option to go down without reclining, but she does not see a need for that. Secondly, the connection n the cord to the remote does not have a place to hang on the chair, so we ran the cord through the headrest. I just felt better about it not being in the water. We also hung a command hook on the outside of the tub, so she has a place to hang the remote.
