Hi Fran, Know where you are coming from. At 78 it isn’t easy to transport 15000 from second floor. When no one is available I have to go down stairs kneeling and facing machine as I lower it one step at a time. At my age I can’t risk tumbling down stairs with 15000 in hand. I have a friend who uses her chair lift to carry her machine up and down. Anyone out there have other suggestions. Carolyn
