I'm looking at possibly picking up a clear floor lift of some soft. The one I'm looking at is one of the QuickJacks: https://www.quickjack.com/car-lifts/

Just wanted to check to see if anyone here, or anyone you know, has used one of these and their opinion?

(For reasons) I loathe letting the dealer touch my vehicles for anything that I can possibly do myself (without killing myself in the process) and I need a 4 wheel lift to perform a couple of the services on my new SUV (with the wheels free-spinning).

Looks like I can pick them up via costco (and grab an extra year warranty in the process).

Also looking at 4 Rennstand units from Safejack. Obviously more of a PITA to use (at half the price) but once I'm getting close to a grand, why not a bit more?

Yes, I know I can accomplish this with Jackstands, but I'm looking for something a bit more...more :)

No, I do not have space for a set of side lifts.

That Jack stand idea is BS. It's 12" high to start with and will only go up another 5" Your wheels will still be on the ground.
How often will you use the quick jack? A couple grand to save maybe 10 minutes of sticking jack stands under the car doesn't make much sense if you're not going to do it weekly.
Check the used ads - a friend picked one up for $800 when the guy who bought it realized he didn't need it.
Also don't forget the quick jack does not lift straight up. If your SUV is a tight fit in the garage you'll need to have the door open. If your jack points are 10" off the ground a 24" lift will move the car almost 18" to the front or rear.

Yep, I was looking at how much forward movement would happen since I can't use it with the door open (door too low) for lift height. I'd need to find that out as I only have about 18" of forward space.

I've got 7 vehicles (Mine, wife's, oldest's, extra car, one parent's, uncle's and one cousin's) that I do all the service on, so it would get used a fair amount, but I do admit that it is an extravagance.

We looked at a quick jack but for only a few bucks more we went with a full sized lift.

I'd love to, but just don't have the room for post lifts. . Even the little roll-away ones. :)
