 Works great, almost identical to the more expensive version! May 8, 2007

This bike lift is almost identical to the more expensive Racor list. We purchased a Racor first, then three of these. The only difference is slightly cheaper rope, and different pulleys. For the price, I'm happy that I went with this one.
Review from my Racor purchase (applies to all of them):
We purchased four lifts (three of this brand, one Racor) for our garage and are happy with them. We were able to position each bike about 16" apart and have no trouble getting any bike up or down.
I have several hints from our installation, and two complaints, but on the whole am very satisfied:
Positive:
* Works smoothly
* Clever, simple system
* Locking mechanism for rope is nice
* Installation is straightforward
Negative:
* Supplied screws are too thick, very difficult to screw into studs
* Hooks need a safety strap, depending on where you attach them
Hints:
* I used 2" drywall screws -- two per mount, as my studs ran crosswise. The mounts are very solid and the drywall screws went in much easier than the (impossibly) thick screws supplied.
* I attached the hooks to a lower location on each bike to have the bike lifted all the way to the ceiling. This gives me enough room to stand beneath the bikes without bending my head.
* I used some of the extra rope, after cutting to an appropriate length, for safety straps for the hooks. Depending on where the hooks attach, they may not have enough bite to fully trust -- easy way to prevent potential injury (see an earlier post on earthquakes!!)
* I don't recommend using the supplied bracket for excess rope. I just coiled the rope and hung it from one of the quick-release levers on the bike. Works great, and keeps the ropes from getting tangled.
On the whole, I'm very happy with our purchase. Almost identical to the Racor lift here, and worth the savings: Racor Ceiling Mounted Bike Lift #PBH-1R (in my opinion, anyway... especially if you're buying several)
 wasted space July 24, 2007

My husband and I got these thinking that they would open up floor space in our garage. Well, it did open up space, and they are easy to get up and down (we use them for our moutain bikes)...however, the space left under them is wasted. You cannot store under them because 1) you need to be able to lower them to the ground and 2) the bikes still hang pretty low so you cannot walk or store anything of height under them. Personally, I think a verticle double stack wall mechanism would be a better space saver.
Great Product at an Even Better Price! April 14, 2007

I have been looking at these for a while and was surprised to find these at such a bargain price. They are perfect for keeping the bikes out of the way and my kids really enjoy "hoisting" their bikes up and down. The space that you save is huge. . .we can now park both cars in the garage. I highly recommend these.

I made my own version of this, and it cost me more than this did. I think this is absolutely worth the money. If it were the $50 version, I might have reservations, but for this price - no doubt. It works well. Recommended.

They work very well, just takes a bit longer to install than most wall mounts. Also have to have the anchor rope tie to a wall which means you need to be near a wall, not in the middle of the garage.
