• Convenient storage but not trival to install or use
  I've had two of these for several years and just got another since the price was good. The hardest part about installing them was the hot weather. But I can't blame the manufacturer for that. If you measure properly and make sure that you know where your beams are, then it's a matter of making appropriate sized pilot holes so you can get the bolts in without killing yourself, but assure that they won't come out of the ceiling either.

• Variation on installation.
  I have ordered 2 of the HeavyLift hoists. I have read most of the best reviews, and I don't have the instalation instructions.

• ASSEMBLY NOT FOR THE TIMID OR FOR THOSE WITH A LOW GARAGE CEILING
  I was attracted to the idea of this device but assembly was difficult. There were numberous pieces and the instructions were not very helpful and in the end I needed to have my handyman complete the assembly and installation. The hoist works fine now except that it hangs so low to the ground that I feel that I need to lower my head walking under it.

• It works
  Overall, a very good product. The instructions leave out a very important step. You need to determine which side you want the crank to be on, before you secure anything to the ceiling. I found that the two ends aren't interchangeable, so I had the wrong side facing out from the wall.
  Besides that, it wasn't too hard to assemble, and it works as advertised.
