One word....JEALOUS....
Your garage is "Garage ****"...LOL
You order it, they shipped it, you installed it....correct?
Found one for $1500ish, is that ball park? Or, is there a better deal out there?
Thanks

They have local installers available near you. They delivered it to my house and installed it for $350 total. (my installer was about 65 years old, so I did about 75% of the install myself....he was struggling).
But it's very easy/super simple. AND you just plug it into a regular 110v outlet!
Just make sure you make all your own measurements and put masking tape on the ground before they get there. That way you don't waste yours/their time. I laid it out the day beforehand and it made it quick to place them.
Hardest part of the entire install is just getting them off the truck and into your garage.
Place the lift sections, drill the holes, anchor it, connect hoses, fill with fluid, connect to air supply for safety locks.....DONE!
Raise and lower the lift about 30 times for them to equalize pressure and that's it!

Nice lift!
I use a short piece of 4x4 that has a relief slot/groove cut into one face (used a table saw, but circular saw would work) that is just slightly deeper than the welded crimp seam. If the 3 1/2" piece is too thick to fit between the jack and the frame, you'll need to trim it.

Let me just comment that my Bendpak P6 lift is certified by ALI.
They test lifts up to 150% of their load ratings for failure among other things like safety mechanisms.
I highly recommend you purchase a certified lift only....its your life at stake.
