Review Mobility Winner 2026
Drive Bellavita
Our verdict
The best-documented bath lift here: 140 kg, a 5.5 kg heaviest piece, a low-battery lockout and a five-year warranty.
Best for: most people who can manage a lift of about 5.5 kg in and out of the bath.
Not for: users over 140 kg; look at the Kanjo XL or Mangar Archimedes instead.
