It is on sale for 189 now, I got for 214. I have never used one before, so I do not know compared to others, but at the time, it was the lowest cost available. lifts 8' sheets 10' reasonably well, because it is somewhat "loose", it allows you to move and wiggle sheets into place. Great when working alone.Folds up to put away, like I will ever use it again in this house.Only thing I don't like is the plastic endpieces which tend to come off when loading sheets.Similar review to https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AHBSXRYAGOIEYKRBOMIPPPAWOYAA/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_gw_tr?ie=UTF8
