These were invaluable during my recent move. We had little help and only a day to move a house with plenty of large and awkward furniture. In addition I have chronic back pain, which I usually just live with, but a day of work like that usually lays me out. This time, while I was still sore, I was mostly back to normal after a night of rest. Overall, I'm very happy with them.

There are some awkward aspects. There's an art to getting the correct cinch on the strap so the piece is high enough and level. I still haven't sorted out how to do stairs easily. The video I watched from the maker about how to do stairs gave some ideas, but I must have missed a key component, because we had issues with the stairs.

This works AWESOME if you are not going up or down stairs or through a doorway. If you HOLD the appliance straight... it works fine. I made the mistake of moving a very large fridge with someone who ended up being weak and could not hold it straight... so I had a bad experience, but it had NOTHING to do with the product. I also do not have a wide enough (nor do I think most people would) stairway nor doorway for two people and the appliance to be carried through. This means the BULK Of the weight is going to end up on ONE person when moving up and down any stairs at all.

Oh my gosh these things are amazing! My husband and I recently had all of our hardwood floors refinished and needed to move all of our furniture. Our son who lives out of town told us about using these to help a friend move so I ordered them. We are not huge people, my husband weighs about 170 and I weigh about 125 and we had several very tall and heavy one piece antique cupboards to move. Even the discrepancies in our height didn't make a difference, which at first I worried might be problematic. Very simple to use and makes moving a breeze. Great to have your arms and hands free to help maneuver doorways.

Had to help my brother move and had concerns because hes 5 foot 11 and I am 6 foot 7. He had some insanely heavy furniture and we moved it with such ease. I will ALWAYS use this product when I need to move things. It saved my lower back and turned what would have been an all day moving day to under 2 hours. We moved things so fast it was astronomical. Very happy I bought this!

We were recently helping to a friend moving a her place with multiple large and also heavy objects.
I got this before that because I was expecting possible issues with the heavy stuff, we were not many ppl and had to acomplish the moving process in a very short time.

Before the purchase I was comparing this more expensive product, then another black cheaper lifting shoulder straps and also orange arm straps. Decided to invest more money to lower the risk of the injury, its not worth it to get something with lower quality and risk an injury.
We were all very glad how this works, less needed hands for the movement, you do not feel so much tired and you have a better control during moving the object.
I have only one issue with this product which Im sure those other products have also after I read the descriptions and reviews.
The SLIDING of objects on the strap which holds the object while you are uneven /stairs/ going up and down hill SUCKS.

Please add to one side of the strap which is under the object those rubbery points like already some e.g. socks, gloves,...have from the bottom. It will hold it much better, lower the risk the object slides on you and injures someone or gets damaged.
Im sure people would prefer to even pay a little more if your product would offer this sliding protection feature.

Except that a great product, most likely the best one on the current market but would be a much better one if the risk of sliding would be lowered. I see multiple people mentioned this issue in their reviews and I still got a product where it is not fixed, therefor removing 2 stars(maybe "only") for now.
Thank you for this product!
