Review: Proper set up is key - Works as advertised. I would never sit on this; only use it to boost me from my couch. I have it at one couch for launching. I got the bigger one, set up at the lowest setting. I am about 170 after surgery normally 190. Positioned near the cushion edge, sit on it until the top closes. Gently rise, the unit gives a gentle push, to a point where it is easy pushing you to a point where you take over with cane or walker. Highly recommend.
Review: Meets our expectations...thumbs up - 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 desertcart. The ones on desertcart 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the width and depth dimensions of this lift?**
A: Hi Marie, The dimensions are about 17" wide and 19" deep. I say about as there is a slight curvature to the seat.  We use it in a recliner which is very roomy, so we have to do some adapting. You will sit higher on the lift which makes the arms, if you depend on them, low, so we use some pillows. We also push the base of he lift into the crack at the back of the seat. If you are struggling to get someone on their feet or wanting to use it as a tool for maintaining independence we recommend it. My husband has a problem getting on his feet and at times can be almost a dead weight. Without this I don't know what I would do!!

**Q: HI, would this work after knee replacement?  Thanks**
A: I can not see why it wouldn't work after knee replacement.  I am not a medical doctor but I do enjoy having this available for traveling and in situations where furniture is extremely low.  I do recommend that you be careful when first using it as it may move faster then you expect.

**Q: I received this today for my mom). Following the instructions, it does not open more than about 2".  Any advice? I don't want to force it.**
A: Unfortunately I can't remember exactly how.  I will try take a look this evening.  I think the previous answer is correct.  If I remember correctly, I forced the seat down several times before the spring was activated/able to work.  I think there is a release bar the trigger by pressing to down firmly

**Q: What weight range will it accommodate? my mother is 110 lbs.**
A: I got it for my mother who weighs 124. I could not adjust it so that it would go down when she sat on it. Looking at the previous answer, we have the wrong model.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Works as described but has some serious flaws
*by N***L on September 2, 2025*

Main flaws: 1) Needs a lot of strength to set up and adjust. Elderly/handicapped persons will likely need help. 2) It does aid in rising from sitting position but it's an ejecting forward vs lifting motion. As warned in directions, since the Assist is automatic as one's weight shifts forward, one has to be VERY careful to not lean to get something off a table (& certainly not off floor) or one will be pushed forward accidentally. 3) not very comfortable for sitting long periods so not really good for TV watching. 4) i bought to help me get out of a (now) too low couch. To give enough 'resistance' for Assist to work, I had to add rigid support under cushions. (I needed to do this anyway, so not a big deal but as product description says, the Assist not really designed for soft surfaces). 4) Because the Assist works by pushing one forward, it necessarily puts a lot of pressure on buttocks and lower back. I suffer from sciatica and it seems to have been aggravated by the Assist. Positives are it looks to be of good quality. Instructions are clear and helpful. As compared to stand alone power lifts which cost many hundreds of dollars or lift chairs which can cost thousands, this Assist is very economical at less than $100. My opinion is this item probably works best for younger users and those without balance or lower back issues. Good for chairs like dining or office, less so for living room seating (usually softer & sat in for longer periods). Doesn't work well for me but I can see it being of benefit to those I describe above.
