If you or someone in your home needs some extra support when standing up
0:03
then a lift chair can make everyday movement safer and less tiring. It's going to give you
0:08
a gentle push when your body needs help, so getting out of a chair doesn't have to depend
0:12
on your knees, back, or someone else. The problem is that not every lift chair is built with the
0:18
same level of comfort, support, or long-term value. So Consumer Reports put them to the test
0:24
and we went through their rankings to bring you the 7 best lift chairs. Whether you're looking
0:28
for something simple and affordable or something loaded with features there's an option on this
0:33
list for you. We're going from the least expensive to the most expensive and if you find something you
0:38
like I'll leave links to all the lift chairs in the description below. First up is the Flamaker
0:43
recliner and at $269.99 at the time of this recording it's the most affordable chair on this
0:49
list. Even so it gives you a lot more than just a basic seat with a motor. Consumer Reports gave
0:55
it an overall score of 59 but the big one here is the lift assist where it earned a perfect five
1:01
out of five. This means the chair does its primary job without any compromise and speed also came in
1:07
strong at a four out of five so the transition from seated to standing is a smooth and timely
1:13
For comfort features, Flammaker added eight vibration massage points across the back
1:17
waist, thighs, and legs and you can choose from three modes, three intensity levels
1:22
and timer options for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Now you also get good storage with two side pockets
1:29
two front pockets, and a cup holder, so everything stays within reach
1:33
Now the trade-off here is comfort. Consumer Reports gave it only two
1:39
So don't expect plush premium recliner experience. So a 3.9 stars out of five from 759 reviews
1:46
it isn't perfect, but for anyone focused on lift function above everything else
1:50
The flammaker is worth considering Next up is the Lazy Boy Aster and at 3609 this is a premium pick
1:58
But you aren't just paying for the Lazy Boy name here. The chair is specifically designed for taller users
2:05
Especially people around 6'3 or above It gonna feature a wider deeper seat a taller backrest and an elevated base that adds another 1 inches of height So if most lift chairs have felt too cramped or too short for
2:19
your frame, then this Aster is clearly built for that issue in mind. Now Consumer Reports rated this
2:24
a 61 overall, which places it around the middle of the pack. Still, its scores are fairly balanced
2:30
with adjustability, lift assist, comfort, and speed all rated a 3 out of 5. But the most
2:36
interesting feature isn't going to be comfort or power, it's safety. The Aster has an enclosed lift
2:41
mechanism and in a home with a dog, cat or small children walking around, that's going to bring
2:47
some extra peace of mind. Now the main downside is ease of use. Consumer Reports gave it a 1
2:53
There's also no heat or massage which is a little disappointing at this price point
2:58
Still with 4.8 stars from 200 reviews, buyers seem very happy with it
3:02
Up next is the CanNov PowerLift Recliner. And this one stands out as a CR Smart Buy
3:10
meaning it delivers good value without falling short on performance or safety
3:14
And this scored a 71 overall, which is the highest rating we've covered so far
3:19
Now, Lift Assist and Ease of Use both earned a perfect 5 out of 5, while Comfort and Speed each came in at 4
3:25
And for a chair under $350 when on sale, that's a pretty strong result
3:30
One of the best things here is the upholstery. Consumer reports called it the plushiest upholstery of any model they tested
3:37
So this chair sounds genuinely comfortable to sit in And it's also well equipped
3:41
You get lumber heat for your lower back Plus vibration massage with four zones and five different modes
3:47
And with a 28.5 inch lift height The can mop also rises higher than many chairs in this range
3:53
Which helps you stand up with less effort Now the adjustability scored a 3 out of 5
3:58
So don't expect too much customization here Also, since the recline buttons are on the side of the chair, they could be harder for caregivers to reach if that side is against the wall or blocked by furniture
4:09
Still, for the price, you're getting a strong overall package. And with 4.2 stars from over 1,200 reviews, most buyers seem to feel the same way
4:19
Next up is the Lazy Boy Billy. At it currently selling for almost half off which makes it one of the most affordable ways to get the Lazy Boy name And like the Aster the chair is designed for a specific fit with the focus on smaller users
4:34
It's the smallest chair in this lineup so for those 5'3 and under that's a big part of the appeal
4:40
So for those 5'3 and under that's a big part of the appeal. Instead of sitting in a chair that swallows you up the billy gives you a closer fit with less extra space around the seat and back
4:50
and that's why it scored a 72 overall with a perfect 5 for both lift assist and speed
4:56
Now adjustability scored 4 which is a good sign if you want a chair that doesn't feel too fixed or limited
5:02
And the remote keep things pretty simple too with one button to recline and one button to lift
5:07
Now this is backlit so low light isn't much of an issue here. So if you're after something smaller, supportive and quick to lift then the Billy wins my vote
5:16
And if you want to check any of these lift chairs out, I put links to all of them in the description below
5:21
Next up is the N-Combo lift chair priced at $549.90. And like the CanMov, it's a CR smart buy as well
5:29
But this one scores even better with a 76 overall. Now the lift support is excellent here, so you get a perfect 5
5:36
The controls also scored well, as most people find them very easy to use
5:40
Comfort and lift speed both came in at 4, so you still get good support for longer sitting
5:45
along with a lift that moves at a comfortable pace. Now I'd highlight the lumbar heat and 8-point vibration massage
5:50
as two of the better extras on this chair. Each one comes with a 15, 30, or 60-minute auto-off timer
5:57
so you don't have to manually turn anything off. And when you recline, the footrest extends out a bit further
6:03
to give you more room to stretch your legs. One thing to know is that the recline isn't fully separate
6:09
The M-Combo uses one motor, so the backrest and footrest move together
6:13
and it currently has a 4.4 star rating from over 6,708 reviews, the largest review count by far
6:20
So for the mid-range, it's a strong pick if you want features, lift performance, and value in one package
6:27
Next up is the Golden Technologies Cloud PR510. It priced at around and it came back with an overall score of 80 from Consumer Reports And this is the highest on this list with three perfect 5 out of five results across lift assist speed and adjustability and it only takes about 28 seconds to move from fully
6:47
reclined to fully upright and people also really like the maxi comfort system because it's easy to
6:53
find a comfortable tv position recline further back for resting or just raise your legs while
6:58
you're sitting fairly upright now the chair can also recline almost flat although it doesn't quite
7:04
lift your feet above heart level. Now this isn't the simplest chair to operate right away
7:08
the remote gives you more control but that also means more buttons to learn. It also skips the
7:14
add-ons you may like such as heat, massage and cup holders. But the weight capacity goes up to 600
7:20
pounds so if you're struggling to find a lift chair that's properly rated for your weight
7:24
then the Golden Technologies Cloud PR510 is a perfect choice. Finally at number one we have
7:30
have the Pride Mobility Viva Lift Ultra. At over 2300, it's the most expensive chair on this list
7:36
but it also earned the highest Consumer Reports score here with a 92 overall and a perfect 5 out
7:42
of 5 in every category they tested. What really sets it apart is the Viva Lift tilt system. Most
7:48
recliners are just going to lean the backrest back, but this chair tilts the whole seat and
7:52
lifts your legs higher at the same time. That puts your legs above your heart so you can settle into
7:57
a deeper more relaxed position. Now the comfort setup is also stronger than what you usually get
8:03
There's heat for the shoulders, lumbar area and seat and the massage goes beyond basic vibration
8:09
too. Pride uses an air bladder system that applies pressure to the lower back with three intensity
8:14
settings. And you also get a footrest extension and the footrest extension gives you a little
8:19
extra room to stretch out while the footrest, backrest, headrest and lumbar area can be adjusted
8:24
it separately. Just make sure you have enough space for this. The chair is fairly large
8:30
measuring around 39 inches wide and almost 4 feet tall. It also needs close to 2 feet of
8:35
clearance behind it when reclining, but if that works for your setup and the price isn't a problem
8:40
you really can't go wrong with the Viva Lift Ultra. And that's all for today. I hope this list
8:45
helped you find the right lift chair. And if you find something you'd like, don't forget to check
