I'm tired of trying to get Medicare and private insurance companies to pay for an overhead lift for me.....
So I deceided to buy my own....... I'm looking at the Waverley Glen C450 Here and the BHM V4 Here........ Any one have a lift made by these companies or have other suggedtions?
Right now I just need about 6' of track, to get from my bed to my chair......
The C450 is about $6,000 installed and the V4 is $5,000 installed...... Both are 4 way..........

I have a sure hands & the best thing is that there is no sling under you to deal with. There is a company with same concept but can't remember the name.
I have atheory that an unusually high # of sci people are named Jim.

OK - I found the other lift. Polairis plus, same principle as sure hands but less$. You can see it at planetmobility.com. They are really quicker, easier, than lift w/ a sling.

Watch out for Planet Mobility, I was told they sell outta date junk, and are crooks.... I was on hold for 20 minutes, just to talk to some dumbass woman who knew nothing......

Illinios Boy, I'm not familiar with the model you're looking at but I've had a BHM Voyager for years and other than needing to replace the battery twice (from normal ware) it's been tough and hasn't shown signs of slowing.
