How AmeriGlide works

AmeriGlide offers mobility aids such as stair lifts, scooters, wheelchairs, walk-in tubs and more. It will ship anywhere in the U.S. and has physical locations in Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.

New stair lifts ship within five business days and are typically delivered to the first floor of your home. Delivery to upper floors may require additional white-glove service. Local third-party installers perform AmeriGlide’s installations.

Instructions are provided if you want to install the stair lift yourself. You can also add on professional installation services.

AmeriGlide products

AmeriGlide provides three kinds of stair lifts:

  • Straight
  • Curved
  • Outdoor

All chairs have swivel seats and a sensor that stops them if an obstacle is in the way. Each chair also has a battery that allows it to remain in use during a power outage.

Straight stair lifts

AmeriGlide offers three models of straight stair lifts:

  • Cardinal Indoor: The Cardinal Indoor is designed for straight staircases. The seat and footrest fold neatly against the wall when not in use. It features a backlit control panel and a removable chair cover. It can lock either at the top or bottom of the stairs. The chair can carry up to 275 pounds. Installation isn’t included with the Cardinal Indoor, and it can’t be self-installed.
  • Rave 2: The AmeriGlide Rave 2 takes up less space on the stairs than the Cardinal Indoor. It only takes up 11 inches when the seat and footrest are folded against the wall. The tracks attach directly to the stairs, not the wall, for increased durability, and the stair lift can carry up to 350 pounds. Installation isn’t included, but the AmeriGlide Rave 2 can be self-installed.
  • Liberty: The rail of the Liberty is only 3 inches, taking up the least amount of space on the stairs, but the chair itself takes up 14 inches, even when folded against the wall. Installation is included.

Curved stair lifts

AmeriGlide offers two models of curved stair lifts:

  • Infinity: The Infinity chair can navigate curved staircases, can carry up to 275 pounds and is 16 inches wide when folded. Installation is included.
  • Rave Curved HD: The path for this chair is customized to your home and can do full 180-degree turns. It can carry up to 350 pounds. Installation is included.

Outdoor stair lifts

AmeriGlide’s outdoor stair lifts come with weatherproof materials and coverings.

  • Cardinal Outdoor: This is the outdoor version of the Cardinal Indoor lift. It can carry up to 275 pounds and can be locked at either the top or the bottom of the stairs. Installation isn’t included, and the lift can’t be self-installed.
  • Deluxe Outdoor: This model comes with three covers to protect it from the weather. It can carry up to 350 pounds if the track is less than 16 feet. If the track is over 16 feet, the weight capacity is 275 pounds. Installation isn’t included, but it can be self-installed.

Additional accessibility products

Along with stair lifts, AmeriGlide offers a wide range of other accessibility and aging-in-place products:

  • Lift chairs: AmeriGlide offers several recliner-style lift chairs, which help you sit down and stand up more easily.
  • Ramps and platform lifts: AmeriGlide offers ramps and platform lifts for indoor and outdoor accessibility. Platform lifts use a motorized platform to raise or lower a wheelchair user or standing passenger between levels.
  • Elevators: AmeriGlide offers elevators that can be installed inside or outside.
  • Dumbwaiters: Dumbwaiters to help you move smaller items up and down floors.
  • Vehicles and vehicle lifts: AmeriGlide offers vehicle lifts for wheelchairs and scooters, along with accessible vehicle conversion kits for trucks and SUVs.
  • Scooters: AmeriGlide offers four different types of mobility scooters and accessories.
  • Pool lifts: A variety of pool lifts designed to lift you in and out of the pool.
  • Power wheelchairs: AmeriGlide has 22 power wheelchairs in its lineup, including lightweight and foldable options.
  • Walk-in tubs: Walk-in tubs from AmeriGlide have ADA-compliant seats and anti-slip surfaces.

All prices are accurate at the time of publishing.

Financing is available for all stair lifts, with 12-, 24- or 36-month terms. Annual percentage rates start at 6.99%.

AmeriGlide offers a best-price guarantee. If you find the same item at a lower price within 10 days of your purchase, it’ll match the lower price and give you a 10% discount.

AmeriGlide warranties and guarantees

New stair lifts come with a two-year warranty on parts and the drivetrain. Factory-reconditioned or used stair lifts come with a one-year warranty. Batteries have a 30-day warranty.

    I shopped around and peeked at the prices, and I was happy with AmeriGlide's pricing. We got a good price for what we were looking for. My sales associate, Abby, was really helpful. She told me I could do it over the phone with her or I could do it online. She sent me links and she made it real easy. We were trying to get some other things in place for my mom and she was understanding and kept me in the loop. When Bob came to install it, he was real helpful as well. He kept in touch with me so we were able to coordinate. We watched them install it and it only took them less than a couple of hours. Everything's been good ever since.

    I like the features of the stairlift, the compact design and the system that works on a battery. I like the color as well and the fact that the seat folds when you're finished using it. It keeps the staircase clear for the most part. We had it installed for my mother, and it runs well. She quickly learned how to use it and is getting a lot of her mobility back because of that. We got cameras in the house and I can see her going up and down and in the kitchen and doing things. She can exercise by walking around and doing stuff. Prior to that, getting down the steps became a challenge.

    One thing that I saw on another unit is when you lift the chair up to fold it, the footrest is connected and pivots upward with it. This unit doesn't do that. I had to show my mom how she can flip her cane upside down, grab it and pull the footrest up. I wish I had known that because I don't want her bending down trying to lift that footrest up. There's one other person who lives in the house that can't see well. She has to make sure that footrest is not in the way if he's going up or down the steps. Other than that, the stairlift has good quality and the craftsmanship was good. I looked at it closely and some are metal parts and some are vinyl hybrid which is harder than the plastic parts I looked at. The seat cushion is nice and smooth as well.

    I would definitely recommend AmeriGlide. I had a good experience and I hope it continues that way. These units can go out and they can have problems. I hope that ours can be maintenance-free for at least two years. My grandmother's stairlift's motor went out. They said it locked up and told her she might as well buy a whole new unit. I hope that with technology the way it is nowadays, it would get past things like that happening.

      I looked at all the various options on the internet when it became apparent that my mother needed a stairlift. Looking at the different things, we chose AmeriGlide. It was affordable, the process was straightforward, and the reviews were good. AmeriGlide got to it really fast. The salesperson who I dealt with was able to respond and get everything going when I asked for help. Everything went along as smoothly as could be expected. It moved along from explaining what it would be to what the quote would be. The fact that it was that amount was great. The first people who came out and installed it did a great job and were real nice people. They got it installed when they said they would and the stairlift seems well enough made. It can haul my 80-pound mother up and down the stairs. I'm real happy with the product. It's a fair product for the price, and the service is good.

      I Googled and made some phone calls to about four different companies. AmeriGlide was the first company that didn't take my name and tell me they would call me back. They spoke with me right then and there. I liked their price and the kindness of the gentleman on the other end of the line. He explained everything and sold me on it. When I explained why I was getting it and needed it, it didn't seem I was only a number to him, I was a person. He acted like he cared why I was getting the stairlift.

      The installation went perfectly and so far, so good. The only thing that was strange is I'm not from Florida where I had it installed and when the guy was selling me on it, he offered me a veteran's discount and said he wouldn't charge sales tax. Little did I know that they didn't charge sales tax anyway. It seemed like he was caring, but I felt I was tricked a little bit. Other than that, I'd tell others to give AmeriGlide a shot. They were very helpful. Three days later after I had the stairlift installed, the other people were returning my phone call.

      When I called locally to a mobility center to see about installing a stairlift, they wanted $9,000 to do it. I started looking elsewhere for anything cheaper and saw AmeriGlide on Amazon. A week later when I was ready to pull the trigger and buy it, it wasn't available anymore and I was really disappointed. I started doing a little Google search of stairlift systems and I happened to see same picture on a Walmart site. I contacted AmeriGlide directly and I've never been treated any better. The entire process was wonderful and the price couldn't be beat.

      I put the stairlift in a stairwell that comes from the basement up into the house and I was a bit concerned when I started looking into this. What do you do if you come home and you're the one that can't get up the stairs but the stairlift is at the top of the stairs? I didn't know they had a recall button. That worked out really nice.

      I was scrolling through the internet and AmeriGlide kept popping up. I called about five different companies and AmeriGlide was the first to return my call. I left a message and I was called back after a few minutes. The gentleman on the phone was a big help and they were more reasonable with their price than other companies. They also had a local installer from Westchester waiting to put them in for me within a few business days. The installers were fabulous. The young kids were very respectful and they were in and out.

      So far, so good. The stairlift is doing its job for my wife. She has used it about five times and we've got no problem with it. If I had to buy it again, I would use AmeriGlide. The only thing is it should swivel at the landings because she is incapacitated due to the stroke but it doesn't swivel. I thought I was explicit, but maybe I didn't mention it because I got a lot of things going on between work and my wife being ill. I should've asked that question before I bought it. I would have spent a little more to have it swivel at the top and at the second landing.

      I looked at other companies but AmeriGlide was what I needed. They were on point with everything. They were quick and efficient as well. Even the whole transaction when we were getting it going was quick. It was perfect. The stairlift was affordable as well. My siblings and I were able to put the money together and have it done expediently. Two guys came in quietly, and they did what they had to do. They also showed us how to work it. If we ran into any problems, they instructed us properly. Everybody was great and I would recommend AmeriGlide to anybody.

      I went and looked online for a stairlift, and nobody else responded but AmeriGlide. The guy on the phone was very prompt and courteous. This went on for about six months but he kept in touch. The people that installed the stairlift were professional and they did a very good job as well. So far, we've had no problems. AmeriGlide has been wonderful.

      I really liked the sales rep. She was very informative and she answered all my questions. She didn't have to go get the information from anybody. She knew all the answers right off the top of her head. I was a customer service manager for 30 years and she did a great job of selling that product. The installer, Douglas, did a great job as well. He gave me some insight on some of the things, whether I wanted to do this or that, and he made it all work out just fine. The stairlift is working great, and I appreciate it. I've already sent AmeriGlide's information to my sister.

      I was searching for a stairlift. My wife just had knee surgery and I thought that will be helpful. I went with AmeriGlide and the rep was good. He was a very patient gentleman and that was good enough for me to continue with the purchase. I have not installed it yet but I'm very satisfied with the sales and the people I worked with.
