We've had a Kendon as our fourth lift (backup) for six years.  Pros:  great quality and easy to move around and stand up in a corner.  Also, it has a very small footprint so it's easy to walk around with a bike on it if space is tight.  Cons:  very difficult to load a bike alone without help.  It can be done but takes practice.  It's also manual so you need good shoulders to pump it.   Ray

My Kendon has the air override, and I need a second person to get my RK on or off of it. The bike is stable on it with the front tie downs. I wish that it had more shelf space to lay your parts and tools on, but that's about my only negative.

I bought it because I do my own maintenance and only use the lift 3 or 4 times a year, the rest of the time it stores out of the way in a corner of the garage in front of the Mustang.
