Customer Rating: - Great Product
My husband and I used them to move a king size mattress, and then my sons used them to move a dryer, and washer. They worked well for all of us.

Customer Rating: - LIFTING STRAPS
I probability would not have bought this product if I would have known its limitations. It works well for large items that are taller than their width. The strap length can be adjusted for three discrete lengths, i.e., the adjustments are limited. I used it for a few items, but in my view the straps are not worth buying.

Customer Rating: - it really works
i was skeptical but this makes moving awkward items easy for two people. moved a rear projection TV and a Treadmill with ease and just with my father. Without these it may have been a three person job or a lot of scuffed walls.

Customer Rating: - These things work great!
I used these straps during a big move, and boy am I glad I bought them! I have a history of back problems, so I was a little nervous lifting the heavy items, but these straps make it a breeze. They really help emphasize proper lifting techniques, as you must squat with your legs and keep your back straight to get your arms in the straps properly and your hands against the item you're lifting. Really heavy items will STILL feel heavy, but the leverage you get with these straps is amazing.

They are not too useful for really short items though, as the lowest arm strap might not be low enough to get a good grip on the item. I found that they worked best for matresses, tall dressers, appliances, and my big sceen TV. It helps if the item has feet underneath...that will help prevent the straps from sliding out. If not, cross the straps as shown in the instructions, and you will have no problems. Stairs can be a bit tricky...you might need to have the person going up the stairs first to get a lower grip on the item so you remain level as you go up.

These things really work! I highly recommend them....
