A machine like this sure would bring back a sense of independence. Wonderful!

Looks very nice. I hope I never need one, but it's amazing how far technology has come to help people with disabilities.

Great invention!!! A major improvement to mobility.

FDR would have loved to have one!!!! It gives a sense of freedom and independence,, that people didn't have before.

That's what I thought too! It could help give independence to people with multiple sclerosis, or just people who need help transferring to a wheelchair.

I don't think that cost is inappropriate for what it does. How amazing. Thanks for showing us this, Quirky. My nephew's wife has MS. I am going to hold on to this site.
