Default Love motorcycle lift an dolly

I found a motorcycle lift and dolly at Lets Roll website and they want $629 for the lift and dolly. I saw the video and I think this is phenomenal but too expensive. I found a lift and dolly that would work together really cheap at Amazon.
Dolly is $59 and lift is $63. But in life you get what you pay for so I am skeptical about going the cheap route but I am also retired so got to watch my $$$. What you guys think about going with the Amazon units?

How much "Dolly-ing" do you plan to do with this set up once the bike is in the air? A lot? My first concern would be the casters on the Amazon unit. Possibly upgrade those?? Also, what is the max height of the scissor lift? Will it get the bike on top of the dolly at the lowest setting? What about the higher settings? Most bike jacks have metal casters on them as well and are a lot more versatile .....

I'd rather have confidence that my bike is safe than trust a no name gibberish brand. What the hell is CQSXI?

Trust me on this.... Re-think that jack. That style does work well and will work fine, but get the jack with the hex head (to use a socket and ratchet). You will never get your bike off the ground trying to turn that T-handle. A cheap upgrade to the dolly would be rubber / silicone casters from Harbor Freight (under $5 each). Those steel wheels will drive you crazy.

I use a version of
this this
There are many versions weight ratings and price points on scamazon but all made by the same children in china. They come apart so you can use the jack separately from the wheels. I use a wheel doc chok and the the jack (no wheels) togetehr to take a few hundred pounds off the tires when not riding the bike & stabilize the bike. We live in earthquake country and am hoping this is better than the jiffy stand alone. Will report back after the "big-one".

If Temu still exists it can be bought for about half of what bezoz wants.

Possible on newer ones. My buddy has a Vevor cheapo with the T permanently in place. Jack works fine, but raising 800 lbs is no fun.

I went through that same phase as well. It's not worth the effort. Try to find a used Pit bull Lift on Market Place. Or you can get one of these>>>>> K&L

First of all thank you very much for all the help. The only reason that I want a lift with dolly combo is because when I'm doing the three hole oil changes with a regular lift there is not enough room, it is difficult to collect the oil without making a mess. Also, I read that some Harbor freight lifts have failed so do not want to lose an arm. With a quality dolly I think you are safer and you got much more room to work with. With a non Harbor freight lift maybe you don't have to worry about lift failure but there's still not as much room as with dolly. So, not sure about my view about using a dolly and that ls why I am posting here to learn from you guys,
