• "Great Product !"

Review excerpt:

The product works great. Suggest buying the model with the AC plug in, well worth the extra dollars. Manufacture suggests a 90 second installation. What world are they living in? It took me 90 seconds to pull the car into position.... It took me about 1/2 hour to install and set up. Also the screws supplied with the unit are way to short. I guess they want you just to screw them into the drywall. Me, being a perfectionist installed longer screws into the studs or wall plugs. Beside the screws and the fictitous installation time, the product works very well.

• "Easy to install and easy to use"

Review excerpt:

I received two of these bike lifts as gifts. I installed them to replace my old "hooks-in-the-ceiling" method of hanging bicycles over my car. I had to take care to measure the height of the bicycle (adding a few inches for the pulleys) to ensure they cleared the car. I also measured the length of the bicycle to ensure it wouldn't be in the way of people walking around the car. Finally, I measured between the handlebars and seat so the pulleys were properly spaced. But once that was done, installation was a simple matter of drilling three pilot holes per pulley in a joist and screwing them in.

Although the instructions say to tie a stop knot in the rope and thread it through the pulleys and hooks before installation, it's easier not to do that until after you've installed the pulleys. (I did tie a knot in the rope and run it through the hole before I installed the first pulley, but that that turned out not to be necessary because there's enough clearance to push the rope through afterwards.)

Finally, I installed the cleats low enough to reach but high enough so people don't have to duck under the rope.

Like some of the other reviewers, one of my ropes was frayed. (The other one was fine.) I wrote an e-mail to Racor and a vice-president responded almost immediately. I received a replacement rope two days later. Awesome!

Conclusion: These lifts work very well, are easy to install, are reasonably priced, and are backed by excellent customer service.
