(5 stars) - Great for a single gal working on her house :)
I ordered this, after trying to research as much as I could. I spent over a year dealing with terrible contractors, and finally got tired of being taken advantage of. Once received, I was excited to use. The box was terribly beat up, but there was another perfect box inside of it, and I don't think that matters in the long run. I was excited to put it together, and it was fairly easy, though some of the parts were not light (there are only three major parts). Assembly was easy, once I figured out where in the house I wanted to put the machine. After putting it together, I tried to place a sheet of drywall up on the lift. This proved to be harder than I thought. I ended up going to the local HD and purchasing a panel carry handle to help me (mind you I am a girl, doing this on my own). The drywall piece does have to be lifted about 3 feet off the ground ( I figured that I can do one corner at a time, with the help of a step stool to rest the drywall on). Once placed on the lift, everything was smooth. I have used this to lift about 6 pieces of drywall so far, and no problem (knock on wood). The only thing that I could possibly complain about is that it really does nothing for the middle pieces (I have 11 foot ceilings). I use the lift to hoist the top sheet, then I just place the bottom sheet in place without the help of the machine, and cut to fit in the middle piece, without the help again. Can't wait to try it on the second floor for the cape ceilings.

(4 stars) - Good value
This product was shipped quickly. It's a big and heavy package but doesn't require too much in the way of assembly. The assembly sheet was a little vague, I thought, but there just aren't that many pieces to slide together. The quality looks OK to me. Even including the rather substantial shipping cost, I judge this a good value.

My wife and I used it on one small room so far. I'm a lot older than when I built my first house but I can tell you this really beats using 2x4 T-bars and your head like I did back then!!! Even with a 4X8 sheet of 1/2" drywall, it takes quite a bit of force on the elevation wheel to raise it up so I suspect using 4X12 sheets might be more difficult. I thought this might be able to be used on side-walls, too, but now that I have it, it doesn't seem so.

(3 stars) - drywall hoist
The price was about 100 dollars cheaper than Harbor Frieght, looks like the same lift, easy to assemble, the cable binds when you first start the left and will pop if you do not assist moving it over, the rubber ends do not stay on. You get what you pay for, it does do the job at the cheapest price.

(5 stars) - Dry Wall Lift
Shipped and delivered promptly. Easy to assemble and use. Works great. Well worth the purchase price.

(5 stars) - Works as advertised
Bought this item to finish my basement. Tried lifting 1 sheet without the lift (using good old-fashioned deadman). This is a 2-man job; I've only got me. The packaging was beat up when arrived, but the unit was double-boxed, and the inner box was in good shape. All parts were in good shape. Assembly was quick; very intuitive, no problems. The units operates smoothly. Lifted my 1st sheet of drywall effortlessly. Bottom line- it does exactly what it's advertised to do. I'm very pleased and recommend for anyone who is a do-it-yourselfer who plans to finish a large ceiling area, and who doesn't have a crew of free helpers. Price is very reasonable, and much can be recovered by selling after use.
