Default Portable Garage Lift

Afternoon.
I'm thinking about buying a scissor lift and I would be grateful for your thoughts and recommendations.
Does anyone own one and would they recommend any particular manufacturer?
Thanks for your help.
Regards David

Please see the link below. I have not tried any of their scissor lifts but I have been to their site to buy an engine crane. In other words they do exist and seemed like a good company.

That looks interesting but there's an awful lot of gubbins where you might want to stand.---

Not if you use this type...

A mate of mine has one of these, or a similar branded version and finds it very useful.
One issue that he’s had (I think) is that it uses a mirrored laser beam to ensure that both sections of the lift are aligned. If the mirror is knocked out of alignment, the lift doesn’t operate, as a safety feature.
