Looking at this lift.. Bend-Pak HD-9STX. Any owners?
Looking at picking up this lift. Has anyone had any experience with these? There is a video link down the page. Looks like a lot of lift for the price...

That's the lift we have, been using it regularly for about five years. It is solidly built and has been trouble-free so far. I am completely happy with the lift and with Bend-Pak, a good company with real people who answer the phone and answer questions. I would choose it again.
Cheers, Jim

Same price as best buy equipment and free shipping as well. http://www.asedeals.com/garage_lift.html
Hard to go wrong with a Bend Pak if posts on the interblab are an indication. Check the forums at Garage Journal.
Why you no want a 2 post lift?

I have one, I was surprised how well they were built.
Another surprise was how inexpensive it was to order from a local installer, they get them much cheaper than you can online so even with install and sales tax it is still a deal. For me it was an extra $400 over the online price, never have to lift anything and comes with a guarantee.
Best $400 i ever spent.

They have a link on their website, if you order extras (casters/drip tray etc ..) the price becomes even more competitive.

I just got the plastic drip trays.
Like others have said it is not impossible to do yourself but good to know there are other options.
