SuperHandy GoRise LT Portable Floor & Bath Lift
Verdict: The rare bath lift you can carry to another room or another house — and the only one here that also lifts someone off the floor after a fall.
Best for: independent bathing, floor fall recovery, travel between rooms.
Almost every bath lift is a fixture: it suctions to the floor of one particular bath and lives there. The GoRise takes the opposite approach — it folds, weighs 19 pounds, and travels. That single decision changes what the product is for, and adds a second job most bath lifts cannot do at all.
Why it works for seniors
The core benefit is the same as any bath lift: it removes the two dangerous moments of a bath, the descent and the rise. Lowering yourself into a tub on your arms is a controlled fall, and being helped out by a family member is how carers hurt their backs. A powered seat replaces both with a button.
Portability is the differentiator. A fitted lift means the bath at home is the only bath that works — no showers, no visiting family, no holidays. Something that folds into a car boot keeps bathing possible away from home, which for many people is the difference between travelling and not.
The floor-recovery function deserves attention because it addresses a scenario families rarely plan for. Someone who slips and is unhurt but cannot get up is a common call-out, and the usual outcome is either an unsafe lift by a relative or waiting for help. A portable lift that raises someone from the floor is a genuinely different capability.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 19 lb and folding, so it travels between rooms and houses
- IP68 fully waterproof rather than splash resistant
- Also lifts an uninjured person up from the floor
- Battery powered, so no mains electricity in the bathroom
- 330 lb capacity
Cons
- Far fewer owner reviews than established fitted lifts
- Occupies floor space inside the tub
- Seat does not sit as low as some fitted bath lifts
Who it's best for
Best for
Households that need bathing help in more than one place, carers worried about lifting injuries, and anyone with a history of slipping down and being unable to rise.
Skip it if
You bathe in one bath at home and want the lowest possible seat position. A fitted suction bath lift usually reclines further and sits lower, and it has far more owner feedback behind it.
Never lift someone who may be injured
If a person has fallen and may have broken a bone, hit their head, or seems confused, do not move them with a lift or by hand. Call emergency services. Floor-recovery lifts are for uninjured people who simply cannot get back up.
Alternatives worth considering
- Bathing at home only? A fitted suction bath lift reclines lower and has a longer track record — see our bath lift roundup.
- Stepping over the tub wall is the problem? A transfer bench removes that step and costs far less.
- Showering rather than bathing? A shower chair is the simpler and cheaper answer.
The verdict
This is the right bath lift for a specific situation rather than the default one: more than one bathroom, travel, or a real risk of ending up on the floor. If bathing happens in one tub at home and always will, a fitted lift gives a lower seat and a deeper recline for less money. Note also that the owner review count here is in the hundreds rather than the thousands, so there is less collective experience behind it than behind the established fitted models.
