I love my quickjack and got it before Costco began offering them. Got mine from ECS and it came completely trashed from the UPS shipping handling, so I'd avoid shipping if possible.
Quickjack support has been good. One hydraulic hose arrived with a fray, they replaced it. My original pump leaked hydraulic fluid. I sent them a pic, they sent me a new unit. The fluid leak ended up being a simple fix, so now I have a backup power unit

Also, are these low enough to drive over if I wanted to store them under the middle of the car?

My garage floor has a stupidly steep grade, about 4%.
Anyone use theirs on a slope?

There's a guy on Youtube, that sets his Quickjack up by driving over it centered and then pulling them out to the edge/jack points. I forget what type of car but since the unit typically fits under the jack points I would expect it to fit under the center of the vehicle.
I have only seen the 110V on the Costco site. Specifically the 5000SLX, 110V. I think the cost of getting a better deal is more limited selection. Not uncommon for Costco.

I have a BL-5000SLX and works great on my 991.2 ... Even works with my Nissan GT-R.

I have not used mine on a slope. However, if you are interested in the Quickjack, I recommend calling the manufacturer and see what they say about your application. It is a great product, worth investigating.

Got mine setup today. Because of my OCD I did things backward. Figuring out storage etc. first. Its heavy so make sure you are good with lifting 60lbs or so at a time. One of the plugs in the main unit came broken, its not needed but the guy you put it together over tightened it and broke it. So there was some oil spill in the box and I had to take it out. He/she should have replaced it. The whole unit takes 15min to put together if you are not mechanically challenged. Remember to bleed the system, I put in 2 quarts for now, it woeks fine. I will put in another half later when I get some more. The air pressure cylinder is small so it fills up quickly and bleeds quickly keep that in mind when charging it, its not like a tire which takes time.
remember to lock your hydraulic fittings before using, see picture, by twisting the fitting so the notch is Not linned up with the ball. Feel free to ask questions.
