Challenge is that the $2,500 ones are made in China and (perhaps) assembled in the USA. Look at the website for the Atlas listed referenced in post #12 - Chinese-made. A high-quality American made lift will cost more like $5K new. The fool-proof safety features are an absolute must for any lift.

We live in a planned sub-division, and his home is the exact same model as mine. He has seen how neatly my lift is snuggled into our back bay that he came by to inquire about it - and to see if I was interested in selling. He is going up a car, and I am going down a car, so this is good timing...

I have a 7,000 extended height (110V) Backyard Buddy. 6 years old - perfect condition. My neighbor is interested in buying it, but I am not sure what to price it at. The neighbor is not a friend; just somebody who lives down the street, but I want to give him a fair deal. Thoughts? My...

I've been reading forums and bookmarking sites/manufacturers/threads of interest for about six months. I'm getting serious now and I'm leaning toward a Rotary 4 post. While price is a consideration, quality is more so. Should I think about their residential model (Revolution?) or their...

I'm in the process of scoping out a lift for my garage. The main use will be for vehicle parking expansion with an occasional oil change thrown in. Many lifts offer the choice of 110 or 220 volts. Is the only advantage to 220 a quicker lift time? Given the cost of running 220 into my garage...
