BountyHunter has good taste. I got that one. DON'T BUY THE ONE FROM "HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS". I had one. The hydrailcs broke, locking the bike in the air. Got my hand ripped open by a spring trying to get the bike down. My kids can often be heard yelling "Mom, Dad needs an ambulance again!"

RE: lifts
The Sears brand works well, although it's similar, if not exactly like the Costco or Pep Boys brand. Made in China, I believe.
I've heard stories, like ZookHD above, where the hydraulics went awry, OR one of the bolts sheared, either dropping the bike
or leaving it stranded up in the air. I replaced all those cheap bolts for the strongest ones made, which I believe is Grade 8....$25.00 or so.
Works well, I'll keep my fingers crossed & eyes peeled on the hydraulic issue tho...
