My close friend used one in his basement for about 5yrs until he sold the house. He sold the lift for about $50 less than he paid new. I loved it. He loved it. No issues. He made it more permanent by just having 1 longer hose made and permanent mounting the pump to the lift rather than using the mobile cart. He had a nice computer chair setup that he always used. He would just sit and recline with his headlamp on and work under cars all the time. If i had enough room I would have bought it.
