Drive Medical Bellavita Lightweight Reclining Bath Lift Battery-Powered Lifting Bath Chair Bath Lift Seat - Blue Covers

Fab. It does the job. I was nervous, it’s been 3 years since I could use a bath after a botched operation so this was a big deal for me. It is spot on. Effective, attractive, fully functional in raising and lowering. I have got used to it very quickly and am now catching up on all the spa baths that are overdue. It is large and stable, but accept that it takes up space so in a normal sized bath you can recline and submerge to about waist height but above that you won’t soak. It’s not a problem really because while sat upright, you can soap and sponge all the upper parts, hair and head too, to your heart’s content. .

This is a life saver, my wife was a senior care nurse till accident at work left her with chronic back pain, no longer able to work and on a load of medication, was given a shower board from a disability place ,useless,, I shouldn't of had to have bought this but disability people should be looked after, anyway I did buy it and wife loves it, sturdy and suction caps stick really well has tabs on them to pull it out of the bath, a good steady speed going up and down , and side boards to get off the bath, easy to assemble and easy to use control unit, it gives them there independence back, wife can have a safe bath now on her own even when I'm at work, it's lightweight but best to put it in and out the bath for them,, .so don't sit there reading this if you think it will help order it NOW, you won't be disappointed 😇

After using my friends bath seat I had to order one for myself. I am unable to get in and out of the bath anymore so this was the ideal purchase for me. I had to get my son to put it together as my hands are very limited due to arthritis. The instructions on the single sheet are not very clear. When I charged the control unit I then plugged it into the bath seat. It did not work. I then (on my own) read the main instruction booklet to see what had gone wrong. After trying a few times to set it up and eventually realised that I had not quite pushed the charging unit jack plug fully into the unit until it clicked. Hey presto it worked beautifully and I will be using tomorrow to have a lovely bath. I am no lightweight and I know that this unit will be totally safe. Also if the control unit is not sufficiently charged to lower and raise the machine, it will not work, making sure that I will not be left in the bath and unable to get out. I can now wash myself properly and also lay back and relax as long as I want because the seat back goes backwards just the perfect amount. I highly recommend this unit.

So pleased with is this bath lift. Very easy to use and felt secure as it goes up and down. Smooth 'ride'. First time I am able to have a bath in years due to knee replacements as once in bath I was unable to get out safely. I prefer a shower but now having health issues that warrant a good long soak! In the past I thought these lifts were out of my price reach but this was very reasonable and I am able to claim the VAT back as now classed as disabled. I live on my own so do not need to remove it for others to use the bath, but it is easy enough to remove. I'm one very clean happy 78 year old lady.

There are many variations of this type of bath lift from many suppliers but I chose this model from Drive Medical for its' outstanding benefits for my particular needs ! Firstly..it has one of the lowest seat profiles of its' type ....when the seat is at the lowest position in the bath , the user is only 2.5 inches above the normal bathing level .This means that you may still have a deep soak and the extra reclining angle of the back rest allows for laying back at an extremely comfortable level ! Because bath sizes vary and the slope of the actual bath can vary considerably also..... it is important to find a bath lift that will allow the user to enjoy the most comfortable position for bathing ! The Bellavita fits the bill insofar as the base and backrest are easily separated for ease of placing in your bath , in a bath with an average sloping back , the seat base can first be placed an inch or two from the base of the slope , then the back rest which houses the waterproof drive unit , will slot easily into the seat unit and when fully reclined to its' 50 degree maximum slope angle it will still clear the rear of the bathtub easily ! If your bath has a steeper or shallower slope , the well designed suction feet which are essential to prevent the seat from slipping can be easily released by the two easy to use "lifting tags " which breaks the very firm seal of the suction pads and will allow for easy replacement of the seat to a different position . This is very important for any user with Arthritis in their hands as some suction pads on other models are difficult to remove for people with limited hand function ! The Bellavita also has the added benefit of having the other two "front suction" pads designed to " break the seal " automatically by simply raising the seat and lifting it forward which releases it easily ! It is lighter than many other units and again , this is important for users with limited dexterity ! It is well engineered and the overall slim design is extremely robust and will carry up to 22 stone bodyweight ! The hand control remote unit has an enclosed battery which offers up to six bathing sessions before recharge is needed ....and although this depends on the weight of the user this is still a decent performance .The remote unit is waterproof and will withstand immersion and the connection to the drive unit in the backrest is via a simple " jack plug " connection which is also easy to connect and remove ! All round ...a great product that is very well designed and also has excellent back up service for spares or replacements if needed. The instruction manual and colour " Easy Set up " guide are also easy to understand and follow , which in itself is a refreshing change as it covers all aspects of assembly in pictures and clear text instructions . Very competitive pricing too ...A great buy ! Hope this info helps you decide !

What a great piece of kit this is. I bought this chair to help me lift my eldery mother who has poor mobility. I never intended to use it for any thing other than its purpose but she stumbled and i was unable to help her up off the floor. I used the chair and what a god send it was. I didnt think it would be stable on the carpet but i was surprised at how easy it was to get her on the chair and up on her feet. I supported her from behind while she pressed the buttons. She said she felt safe while it moved. What a blessing this has turned out to be. She has used it many times in the bath and it is so easy to get her on and off the chair. The chair is left in the bath all the time and i am glad it is as the suction pads are hard to release. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone. It arrived assembled all i had to do was apply the suction pads, snap on the covers and engage the backrest. So easy ...

This is a superb product, my arthritic wife loves it and uses it frequently. It is well made, rigid and safe. Assembly was easy and operation is simple. Sits firmly on its four pads. Leaves enough space for a shower. We leave it in situ as we are both a little feeble. No hesitation in recommending it. I did a fair amount of research before deciding; I read all the comments on it (and others) and now have some difficulty in understanding the criticisms. The user guide makes assembly very easy and it is not too heavy to put into the bath. The design and construction are both extremely good, it is not at all flimsy. Hasten to say that I have no connection with the makers. Photos show the seat up, down and space left to shower with the seat in the bath. After 6 months use: Superb product, my wife uses it three times weekly for an immersion with Epsom Salt and she loves it. I have used it a few times (18 stone) and it does exactly what it says it should. Very highly recommended. Added comment: August 2020: I stand by my previous comments as the seat has given excellent service. However - I am quite angry with the poor service offered on this product. Some 5 weeks ago, one of the plastic side guides that prevent the rising seat being trapped under the bath handles snapped - probably aged plastic. I emailed the maker and asked for a quote for two of these guides, one to use and one as a spare. I was told by them to contact their UK arm, which I did, repeating my request. Their reply was that they only dealt with trade customers and gave me a link to nearby stockists. I contacted one who told me that they probably had some in stock, later telling me that they had not so would order from the UK company. After chasing them, they said that the company was out of stock but would probably have some available in a month. That would make it about two months that the seat would be unusable. I managed to fit with tape a piece of the original guide but it is not trustworthy. I do not appreciate this very poor service.

It works great if you can’t use your hand or legs to push yourself out of the bath. But it takes away from the length of the bath. I only did a dry run. Haven’t used it in water yet, but it’s easy to plug the battery in a socket and the cord doesn’t fall in the bath.

Es bueno y práctica fácil de usar

Der Wannenlift ist tatsächlich sehr stabil und einfach aufzubauen. Endlich komme ich mit meinem kaputten Knie wieder in die Badewanne. Man liegt zwar nicht so tief im Wasser wie ohne Lift, aber das war mir vorher schon klar. Ist jetzt eher ein sitzbaden, aber trotzdem eine Wohltat. Danke an das Sanitätshaus Burg für die blitzschnelle Lieferung. Auch die Zusendung eines neuen Bezuges, weil der erste Bezug einen Fehler hatte, klappte vorzüglich und schnell. Ich bin mit allem hochzufrieden und glücklich.

Ma mère (80ans) a tendance a tomber (problème avec ses jambes), j'ai acheté cette article pour l'aider (M'AiDER)a se (LA)lever. J'ai fait le teste a partir du sol & ça fonctionne parfaitement avec moi qui fait 100kg je crois.Quand je ne suis pas là ,cela me rassure & elle aussi.PS,il n'y a pas de baignoire chez nous ;)

Ein Super Produkt für die Mobilität im Alltag zu Hause Leider lässt sich in unserer Wohnung keine Dusche ohne weiteres einbauen so das ich mich für den Badewannenlift entschieden habe nach dem ich mir vor einiger Zeit bei einem unglücklichen Ausstieg die Rippen leicht lädiert habe. Beim Kauf war mir unter anderem das Gewicht für das Handling wichtig. Nach dem erhalt wurde wie in der Anweisung beschrieben zunächst einmal der Akku geladen. Die absolut einfache Komplettierung hat mich im Zusammenhang der ausführlichen Beschreibung angenehm überrascht. Nach dem Laden dann der erste Probebetrieb in der Wanne zu meiner vollen Zufriedenheit. Hier wurde aus meiner Sicht von der Firma Lösch eine sehr hilfreiche Mobilitätshilfe für die Körperhygiene geschaffen.
