A Review
Ordering the MAIDeSITe Electric Lift Chair was a “desperation decision” because my mom often found herself on the floor with no means or help to get back up.

Relying on emergency services was very stressful and very costly, so the electric lift chair turned out to be a godsend. It saved us money and gave a sense of independence for my mom.
The chair’s design is pretty simple – it sits flat on the floor with suction cups holding it down. The person who needs help has to scoot themselves to the front of the chair and use a bit of hand/arm strength to push onto the chair, which is about an inch and a half high then rest against the backrest.
When they’re safely comfortable they just press a button on the remote control and the electric lift chair starts to raise them to a normal sitting position, allowing the user to stand or shift to another chair.
It’s solidly built with heavy-duty plastic and vinyl, making it easy to clean, and it even has sideboards for easy transfers to other chairs like a couch or kitchen chair.
The chair is quite heavy but can lift most plus-sized individuals. For people who have trouble getting up on their own, this chair is the best way to feel independent again.
Despite needing a bit of assistance to get into the electric lift chair initially, it beats the hassle and embarrassment of calling emergency services and also will stop carers back strain in trying to lift a loved one.
When the chair was delivered, I was impressed with its strong construction, how well it was made, and its ease of use.
The support handles help make it stable for rising from chairs and sofas without the risk of falling. The adjustable aluminum frame supports up to 300 pounds, and the comfortably soft grip covers ensure a secure and comfortable grip.
One of the best things about the MAIDeSITe Electric Chair Lift is its versatility. Not only did it help my mom to stand up, it also helped healthcare professionals working with my parents.
The chair’s design impressed them enough to share it with other patients and their respective companies.
While the chair’s weight (30 pounds) makes it a bit difficult to move it around, especially for older or out-of-shape people, its way of lifting and transferring people to an upright position was fantastic. The chair really helps caregivers, by giving them a reliable solution for helping loved ones with limited mobility,.
In my case, the electric lift chair was not just a one-time solution as it became a lifeline for my family.
The customer service provided by MAIDeSITe is really great and added to our positive experience.
When the remote control was accidentally damaged the company not only quickly sent a new one but they also wrote a lovely message acknowledging the challenges of caregiving.
Maidesite Electric Bath Lift Chair
This users experience of the Maidesite bath electric lift chair was too good not to share.
I am a senior, and I cannot express enough how the Maidesite electric bath lift chair has transformed my bathing experience and become an invaluable aid in my daily life. Using it in my soaker tub has made getting in and out a breeze, ensuring both safety and comfort. The chair is impressively well-made, and the battery charge lasts a substantial amount of time.
One remarkable incident stands out where this lift proved to be a lifesaver. My 85-year-old husband had a fall in the house, and he was able to easily scoot over onto the chair. The lift effortlessly raised him to a sitting position, despite his weight of 215 lbs. This not only speaks volumes about its strength but also its exceptional value. I can confidently recommend it to others facing difficulties in getting in and out of the bathtub.
Installation and usage have been incredibly straightforward, and the product’s simplicity surprised me. The 45° decline of the back adds to the overall comfort, making each bath enjoyable. Despite taking up some space in the tub, the benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience, especially considering the rejuvenating soaks I can now enjoy.
