    I had trouble from the beginning. The salesperson was argumentative with regards to the number of steps I had on my staircase. I sent photos to settle this matter. It has always been difficult to get anyone on the phone to assist me. The brackets didn't work, the chassis didn't work, and I decided to return the item. Still waiting for a callback. I didn't get a refund that the salesperson said he submitted for the extra railing he charged me for, and he hasn't responded to my efforts to contact him. The installation guide was complicated and didn't follow any assembly order whatsoever. I should have not ordered this, and I deeply regret it. I kept asking for a receipt and all I have is the order summary with the total charges.

    I purchased an Ameriglide stair system for my in-laws. The order had a separate address for my billing address and shipping address. Ameriglide entered the wrong address on the shipping order and the system got shipped to my home, not the in-law's home where it was to be installed. The sales rep, Salman, said "not my problem. The customer service rep, Ebony, said "nothing we can do for you. It was up to my 84 year old father-in-law and myself to load the heavy and large shipping boxes into a pickup and drive them across town to be installed. The system is fine and works well but there seems to be no responsibility for obvious mistakes and I am wondering how that translates if there are problems in the future

    We purchased an elevator from AmeriGlide. The installers had to work with a new software system and did not get proper support. The chips in the elevator burnt up making the unit unsafe to use. I recently had a knee replacement surgery and desperately needed the use of the elevator.

    Do not purchase an Ameriglide product. They claim 110% customer satisfaction, but this is not true. My sister ordered a stair lift for my brother-in-law. It was delivered 9/27/24. He was admitted to the hospital prior to receiving it and passed away on 10/3/24. I called Ameriglide customer service on 10/3/24. I explained our situation and was told we would receive a return call. I called again on 10/4/24. This time I spoke with an extremely rude woman who refused to transfer me to a manager until I questioned their 110% customer satisfaction policy. I was transferred to Tony, left a message, and did not receive a return call. On 10/14/24, I called again.

    I spoke with Jessica. She said that we had missed the return policy by 1 day. I explained that the items were never opened and my brother in law (age 50) had died. She called Tony, and Tony said that there were no exceptions for their policy. I told Jessica to tell Tony that I would be warning families about purchasing from Ameriglide. My sister is now left staring at a stair lift in its box and a significant credit card charge while grieving the death of her husband. So much for 110% customer satisfaction…

    I am a contractor who purchased an Outdoor Ameriglide elevator on behalf of my client, which we installed. The unit was promised to be plug and play ready to go by a Salesman named Chris **. Once it arrived we discovered several issues with it. To start, the install instructions were very basic and did not match the unit. Many of the holes in which to put screws to assemble the unit did not line up. The wiring was certainly not plug and play, with male/female plugs for various connections that did not match each other. After cobbling the assembly together and many calls to their tech support with whom you have to make an appointment and wait, we discovered several connections had been wired wrong in the factory. Replaced the Main controller board, and it finally worked, briefly.

    Then another connection that was wired wrong was discovered because a grounding wire burned up. we had to replace the travel cable, all batteries, all push buttons, and chargers. Then it worked again for a while but intermittently. And then it just stopped again, this time with an 80 year old lady inside it in 90 degree heat, and she couldn't get out because the manual release locks for the doors require a flat blade screw driver and a pretty strong hand. Then, more troubleshooting. Finally after discovery of water collecting in the door and gate locks and shorting the unit out, we fixed the problem this time. Let's keep in mind that the door locks collect water and this is designed to be an outdoor unit. We had to drill holes in them to get the water to drip out. Also, the elevator itself leaks water into the cab, so try not to use your outdoor elevator while it is raining.

    With the unit working now, I have been asking for a decision maker in the company to call me to discuss reimbursing my expenses for the many hours that myself and my electrician worked to correct manufacturing defects. CRICKETS!! NO CALL TO ME. NOTHING! A phone call to the company asking to speak to a manager or president yields nothing other than a nice lady who says she will pass on the message and that she cannot release contact information for higher up people. I did get an email for the president of Atlas which is the company that owns Ameriglide, and I sent him an email, but no reply, and attempts to send additional emails are now blocked to his email address. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE!!

    I had been doing some research, so that we could have a stairlift installed at my church. Our church has two floors and when we have fellowships (food), unfortunately, some of our church members are not able to partake in these events. I had been talking to several different companies about the stairlifts they offered, what the church was needing, and we were needing the lift installed by a particular date due to an imminent event. All the reps were courteous, but Roger from Ameriglide went above and beyond in his kindness and guaranteed that the stairlift could be installed by June 30th.

    I quickly realized that Roger was fibbing, so that he could get a sale. The stairlift was delivered on June 24th; I immediately email Roger from Ameriglide, and he responds with a number for the installation department. I call the installation department. I talk to a (unsure of spelling/pronunciation) Corriene/Koren (not sure). I told her our stairlift had arrived the previous day, and we were needing installed as soon as possible. I told her Roger had given us a guarantee that the stairlift could be installed by the requested date. I said “Respectfully, is there any way the stairlift be installed this week? Roger guaranteed that it could.” She got so offended that I said that.

    I totally “ruffled this woman’s feather” because all the sudden she took a snarky tone with me. I did not want to argue with this woman; I just wanted to hang up and call Roger to see if he could do anything, so I just asked for her name, so I can keep track of everyone I talk to. She responded so horribly; this woman willingly demoted herself to the pettiest tone possible and said her name and for me to have a wonderful day. But, with sauce an immature tone. I was flabbergasted. We’ve spent over $4000 and all of the sudden we get this type of customer service.

    I emailed Roger and no response. The stairlift was delivered on June 24, 2024. It is now July 5, 2024, and the stairlift still has not been installed. We still have not received a date for installation. I am so disappointed with the service from Amerglide. I now know why so many people have given negative reviews just as I have. No, I do not recommend purchasing any products from Ameriprise.

    Terrible electronics; terrible service. When power goes out and it needs to be reset, it is a simple procedure, but the company wouldn't help. The installer is out of business. It took a thousand calls to finally find a company that would help (Precision Lift), but they no longer help, which means it took another thousand calls to find an independent service person. The latest issue is a solenoid when bad on door lock/unlock mechanism on one of the stops. Ameriglide wants to replace the entire locking mechanism, which is NOT broken. They want $2100 before shipping and labor. The solenoid is a $30 part at Digikey. I'm fixing it myself because what Ameriglide wants to do is NUTS. DO NOT BUY AN ELEVATOR FROM THESE BUCCANEERS.

    I purchased an AmeriGlide Atlas Hercules 750 system. During the purchasing stage, the sales person assured me that there would be support and that they can provide maintenance and support. And that a technician would always be available to be deployed to help with any issues. About a year later the vertical platform fell about 2 feet towards the bottom position with people in it. Contacting Ameriglide did not help as they are only a sales façade and the real company is Atlas in Canada. After about four weeks of back-and-forth trying to reach the right people they determined that they stated that they do not send anyone and they only sent parts out. Experience to say the least dealing with them is absolutely horrible. Pay a little more and buy something that is supported.

After A MONTH of trying to get Ameriglide to refund the fraudulent 2nd order, I finally told them I'm done waiting and was going to file a chargeback. Instead of actually helping me, the rep just told me to go ahead making this my problem and taking no ownership or responsibility of their mistake. Dealing with this company has been a terrible experience all around. It's no wonder they have a two star Google rating and even worse, an "F" rating with the BBB.

    Once we paid for the unit that was it. The customer service has serious issues. Lack of response from the salesman. Then the unit came out and the chain was short. Once we got ahold of someone. We were passed around from the salesman to customer service. Then to Atlas who actually makes the unit. Which we didn't buy it from Atlas so why we have to communicate with them is beyond me. Then we had to measure the chain and waste bunch of our time figuring out what went wrong when this is Ameriglide job. Then after all that we have waited 2 1/2 weeks and we have emailed several times with no response and then called today and found out Atlas has been closed for two weeks and the chain hasn't even been cut to be shipped. But hey the customer service gal says she understands that we can't get paid and finish a 3 million dollar home, so I guess everything will be alright.

    I would not recommend this company if you are looking for customer service. After admitting that he confused me with another customer and acknowledging that I did not cancel my request to get a dumbwaiter from Ameriglide, a Mr. Chris ** doubled down and in essence blamed me for his failure to be responsive to my request. I sent him detailed information, which he requested, and he denied receiving it. After looking up my email address and then reviewing my request, he once again launched into blaming me for the miscommunication. If you want to receive respectful and courteous customer service, along with getting specific responses to specific inquiries, then do not engage Ameriglide for dumbwaiter assistance.

    If I could rate this experience with zero star(s), I would do so. This experience has been a huge waste of time, in as much before our phone conversation of 12/17/2021 I was willing to pay whatever to get a dumbwaiter from this company. I have been waiting for a response from Ameriglide since October 22, 2021. If I had not reached out today, I would not have known of Mr. **'s confusion and blunder by getting me confused with someone else. Doubling down and berating a customer for his mistake of confusing me with someone else will not lead to a consummated sales transaction. After today, I know first hand why the ratings are so low for this company.

    We purchased a Rave 2 stair glide chair from Ameriglide in July 2021. It was installed by Ameriglide’s authorized installer on 8/3. It stopped working on 8/6. Since then we have not only been waiting on the parts that their installer has said are faulty (no fault of ours), but we are waiting on any sort of RESPONSE from anyone at Ameriglide about the tracking of said parts or any timing of its repair. We have been given the run around by not only our Sales Rep, but now Customer Service as well… and, as a result, my mother – who suffered a stroke in June, removing her ability to use stairs – is on Day 47 of not being able to sleep in a bed, or use a shower. This is becoming a health and hygiene issue – and Ameriglide has gone radio silent.

    A little back story… we reported the faulty chair the day it happened (8/6) and followed up again on 8/8 and 8/10. Our Sales Rep finally contacted us back on 8/12, and he stated that he would contact their authorized installer for troubleshooting and get back to us. After a week of silence, we followed up on 8/19… and heard nothing. We followed up again on 8/24, and our Rep finally responded and said we didn’t need an entirely new chair, only certain parts… and that the parts were ordered and shipped to us, and once they were received we needed to contact their installer to come out and fix.

    A week went by... and no parts were delivered. No tracking information was given. Nothing. We followed up on 9/2 for tracking… no response. I finally contacted their Customer Service dept on 9/7, and my call was ‘accidentally disconnected’ on their end. They responded later that day and stated to me that they didn’t even see an order for replacement parts for our chair in our file; and they could provide no explanation why we were told they were ordered and weren’t. They requested that we send them all correspondence between us and our Rep so that they can see what is needed to be ordered, the issues, etc. We sent that on 9/8... and have heard nothing. I have made two more follow-ups with Customer Service since then for answers, any tracking, resolution... and still nothing.

    We cannot get anyone to respond to us...and as a result we cannot get it repaired. And my mother is stuck on the first floor of her home – without a bedroom or full bathroom. I am at my wit's end on what we can do?! I am beyond frustrated and extremely disappointed in a company that supposedly specializes in helping people with their mobility. They’re quick to take your money; and not provide service or support. For anyone reading this and contemplating any products from Ameriglide…Run. Take your business elsewhere. And in the meantime, I suppose I have no other option but to begin to prepare for a legal battle.

    The second presentation was of course denied due to completion of the first transaction. The bank verified the payment with a letter signed by an officer of the bank. They lied and have my money! I have a copy of the paid cashiers check showing the transaction. Their bank sent me a letter upon my inquiry of the transaction. Their bank verified that the check was deposited into Ameriglide's account in full thus proving that the sales person lied about the payment.
