Been waiting on the TL versions to go on sale, they've got a higher lift than the SLX's.
5000TL - https://www.costco.com/quickjack-...33778.html
7000TL - https://www.costco.com/quickjack-...33826.html
The package with the hangers and blocks isn't on sale, but these prices are solid, best I've seen on the taller lift.

Check if you need the TL or TLX. It may surprise you how many common cars need the longer version (last generation Civic, for example). I didn't wait for Costco to stock the longer ones of the new model because they never had them in the previous generation.

Use the downloadable manual when setting up, not the one that comes in left frame's box. The printed one I received had incorrect information (way too much torque on the elbow to small hose, for example). I didn't get all the way to 34 N-m, stopped around 26 when I saw the hose was failing. I had to wait over a week to get the replacement part :/

I store mine under my SUV, so no need for the hangers. Lots of clearance vertically and they're only about two feet wide when pushed side-by-side. I used this tip to put the frames on wheels for about $12:

I don't know if those wheels would be strong enough for the 7000 models.

This is for people who needs to work under the car for other things including oil changes.
I've owned this for over a year and have done transmission fluids, hoses, catalytic converters, saving me thousands of $$ instead of going to a mechanic.
Having a lift like this avoid injuries or death if you use a regular jack you can get crushed by your car if a regular jack fails.
Nobody buys this just to do oil changes and if that's the straw-man you concocted to feel smug about being able to change your oil using a jack and a set of jackstands then more power to you. Let's see you perform a string alignment with a jack and jackstands, too, and then let us know how fast that takes. Add having to drive on top of ramps because your car's center jackpoint is too low/deep for a regular jack too while you're at it.
This fills a specific niche and does it well. I bought mine during BF and have used it plenty of times since then to prep my cars for track/autocross season. I would not get under the car at the highest setting without jackstands the same way I would not go under my car on jackstands without a set of wheels under the frame. In the mid-setting the car is as planted and stable as if it were on jackstands, but higher than that it is a little bit wobblier, but that's the price to pay for not having a good place for a 2-post lift.
But these would be great for doing stuff next to the car, like rotations, brakes, suspension, alignment, bodywork, etc.
Yes, before you ask, it's a luxury buy for making wheel swap/work easier, as there isn't anything much else to "work on" under the car 😜
Another Q: trying to find additional uses for this (read: ways to sell the expensive purchase to my wife), are these safe to leave the vehicle up on for extended periods of time? For example, if we take a long vacation, it'd probably be better for the tires to be off the floor. Are these designed to hold a vehicle up for, say, a month?
But if you start with small jack stands, an upgrade is needed for trucks/vans.
The QJ have physical locks.
What you are saying is like saying a lift needs supports on the corners "just in case".
A lift has physical locks as well.
The QJ are NOT just hydraulic. You have to disengage the physical for the hydraulic to lower the vehicle.

Regarding your question, yes, the company themselves say this is perfectly fine to do. Once you lock the system in place and purge the lines, it stays put in a pure mechanical fashion. Though I wouldn't leave it outside for obvious reasons.

Their safety recommendation is warranted in certain situations, but to be safe in all scenarios, it would be best to add auxillary jacks all the time.
The QJ can withstand most lateral forces okay although I would say the fail points are the joints laterally. Imagine a vehicle rolling sideways on one of these...what would fail...the joints. But that is extreme forces from the side. Otherwise, it is stable sideways.
It is also stable front to rear. However, if you rock the vehicle (like jumping up and down on the front hood), it can topple over. Or if you are yanking at the gas tank, similar seesaw action as the QJ is positioned in the middle.
Therefore, recommending auxiliary stands is warranted.
However, even if using jack stands, you'd throw extra tires and the floor jack underneath as well, so it really is just an extra precaution being under an elevated vehicle. It's not rocket science to be extra extra safe.
That said, I have NOT used auxiliary stands. I have tried to rock mine, and no go. I have done exhaust and drive shafts on a Jeep. I'm still here. I have done a gas pump on a Lincoln Towncar, and that is where I noticed the see-sawing. Yeah, not safe. Then again, it was not on a level driveway...crowned in the middle. Definitely will be using a floor jack or jack stands next time to ensure no see-sawing if I am yanking hard at the front or rear. Also, I have not heard of any deaths from the QJ. I think jack stands have a few reported. It may be inevitable with time, but is anything 100% safe?
If you dont have anything useful to add, find a different hobby.

It requires (recommends?) jacking out the existing floor and using reinforcing rebar and new concrete.
Likewise, you need room in the garage. My main 2-vehicle area would no longer fit 2 vehicles. Also, height. You cannot lift the vehicle all the way up if you have a garage door motor in the way.
That's when I saw the QJ. I still like the QJ for portability to unwanted friends' houses.
Yeah, not as convenient as a lift, but
