    My husband has health problems and we have the bathroom upstairs so we needed to get something to help him with the stairs. We had a Bruno stairlift installed, and the installation went very smoothly and very nicely. We got the straight one and we’re very happy with it so far.

    We got Bruno through the VA and they contracted them. The sales rep was fantastic, very nice. Also, the installer did his work and he was out in a couple of hours. They did a good job and the stairlift is nice looking, smooth and quiet. It folds up and other people can walk on the steps too. We have a split entryway and it's from the family room to the foyer. My husband has been sick and I've been taking care of him. He walks a little bit then he gets on it in the foyer and it comes straight up to the living room. He doesn't have to go up and down the steps. We're thankful Bruno came and installed the lift because we don't know what he would've done.

    I fell down and broke my hip in January and before that, I had a 12-hour heart operation in October. So, I had two things wrong with me that I couldn’t go down the stairs. I had to be very careful, and I decided to get Bruno. Once they put me in the chair and showed me what to push and everything, I could go out and not have the fear of falling down those stairs. I would have no problem going to the dentist. My partial plate cracked in half when I fell down 14 stairs. I gotta have my partial plate done and it’s gonna be four visits before they can do it. Aside from getting me to the doctors, the Bruno stairlift allows me to have confidence. But right now, I’m a little nervous about sitting on them so I have to have someone tell me what to do. Other than that, everything is fine and I’m getting used to it. They’re beautiful and I love it. It takes me up and I get to my walker, and I can go in the living room and come out with no problem at all.

    I liked the design of Bruno's rail and it looked like a good-looking outfit. But mostly, I liked the way the rail was vertical. The sales rep was very good. The installation went very well. There were two guys, and in about an hour and a half, it was done and they gave us a walkthrough and went over everything. It worked out very good. I like the product really well. It works perfectly and it does what they said it would do. We got a straightforward model. It’s got a lot of nice features to it where the speeds change, and as you’re approaching the ends, it slows down so you’re not hitting the ends at same speed you’re doing in the middle. And about safety things, if you bumped into something, it stops right away really quickly.

    The installers of our Bruno stairlift came in at 8 o'clock in the morning and they had it done relatively quick. They worked well. Everything was intact and the cement was already poured. The stairlift rides and sits well. It doesn't make a clicking noise. The other one prior to this from another company made this clicking noise, like it was running over rocks. It was bizarre. But this one from Bruno doesn't have a cover on the chair permanently attached. With this you have to take out and cover it up. When you're done you have to take it and fold it meticulously so it fits in the bag.

    I needed some help getting up and down our stairs. I was sitting in the living room one day and watched the Acorn chairlift. I called them. Then, I got to thinking it's in Cole's over in Melbourne. We live in Red Oak, and it's about 25 miles from here. I’ve seen Bruno's truck in town a lot. We’re handicapped. When I called Bruno, they said they have chairlifts. So, we were tickled because we’d get it locally. The installation was perfect. I couldn’t ask for it to have went smoother. The installer had to take the banister off. He was so nice. We got a lot of knick-knacks around our house, but he was so ­­very careful when he came in. After he had the board put together, he glided himself through the house and didn’t touch a thing.

    I was happy that we finally put it in because it was getting to be such a struggle for me to come up the stairs, and I like to have access to our basement. Our house is 40 years old. We built it, and then we’ve lived in it ever since. We finished off part of the basement. I enjoy the basement. There’s way too much stuff stored than most people, but that’s what we put the basement there for. This way, we can continue to use it. I like to have access to our utilities because the water, our gas, and electricity come in there. I like to have access so if something goes wrong, I can go down and check on it. The stairlift is a good, safe thing. We should have had it a few years back.

    Our Bruno stairlift is very adequate. It’s a learning process for me. When you get old, you don't pick up things quite as fast as younger people do. And something was beeping constantly. I also made the mistake of turning the switch off. Kelly came yesterday and he explained it all to me again. I was just down the basement and it’s still beeping. I didn’t think it's supposed to do that. I thought it would have five beeps, then it would go ahead and continue to charge the battery. And then, when it got charged, it would quit but it’s still beeping, so I misunderstood him about something.

    My mother is elderly and could no longer safely manage the stairs. The company we got the Bruno stairlift from has been phenomenal. It is a very close-knit family company so the salesperson was genuine and wonderful. And it’s the son and son-in-law that installed and they were both professional and did a wonderful job. The stairlift has been a lifesaver. My mother’s been very sick at the time. She would not have been able to get into her in-law’s suite, which is on the basement floor. She’s been ill, and we could not have lived without it.

    I called Bruno and the man that came out and made the presentation was what convinced us to go with them. He seemed very knowledgeable about the product that he was talking about, what would it take to install it and how it would work, and a brochure that was quite helpful to look at. He was very personable. The installation was slick and smooth. They got it done in three hours. They had very carefully taken the measurements before they came back to install it. So when they came back, everything was ready. They already had the rail measured and cut. So, it wasn't one day, fly by the seat of your pants. They knew what they were doing with taking measurements. All I had to do was bring it in, bring the equipment that they needed and the parts and put it in. It was kind of a two-phase operation. They obviously had experience and had done it before, so that was helpful to know.

    I like the fact the stairlift works as advertised, the way they talked about it and the way he showed me the operation. We use it every day. If you are considering a stairlift product, you need to talk to someone who can professionally explain it to you and probably take some measurements while they're there so they know what they're talking about. These guys from Bruno had no qualms about talking.

    I had a back injury back when I was in the military and getting up and down the steps is an effort. I told the VA I needed a stairlift and they sent three people out here and they made the choice to go with Bruno. I’m pleased with it. Their salespeople were nice, professional and I got no complaints. I’m a retiring salesperson so I can tell they know what they were talking about. They did the installation in about four hours and cleaned up behind themselves. After the guy cleaned up and did everything he said, “Let me show you how to operate it. Here’s the book. And you can check all I showed you.” It was excellent. I got enough room with the lift and when it’s not in use I can flip it up and walk past without a problem. It's a good piece of equipment so far.

    I did some research before and one of the things that I like was the warranty that Bruno had at that time. I was told they had a five-year warranty. So I wanted a Bruno and then when I went through the VA, they offered a Bruno. Brett came to measure and when the unit was available, they called me to set an appointment. They came, put it in, cleaned up and left. The stairlift makes the stairwell a little snug getting by seat. But other than that, it's working out fine. You don’t get out of breath going up the stairs. It's going to the second floor where our sleeping and shower areas are, so we don’t get exhausted going up the stairs, and we have to go up a couple times a day.

    If you're gonna go upstairs to get something and you wanna turn it at the top of the landing towards where I wanna get off, and then if it takes me 30 seconds to do what I have to do, the thing beeps and beeps and beeps until you get back and ready to go down. So I wish that beeper wouldn’t be going off all the time. I also wish that the footrest was a little stronger in case you did have to step on it. Right now, I don’t step on it. I straddle it and then I put my feet on the footrest. But if I stood on it, it probably would break right off, and you're not supposed to, so I don’t do that.

    When we get a little bit older, we don’t wanna move our washer and dryer upstairs so we got Bruno straight indoor stairlift. I like that it charges anywhere on the rail. The only thing is that it stops every once in a while on the way up. It turns around, it’ll go part way up then it’ll stop, then it turns around and wait a while, and hit it again then it’ll go. I called the guy that installed it but he's out on the job. I just talked to the secretary today and they're gonna get back with me. The stairlift probably needs to be adjusted.

    I have mobility issues and I don't walk well, and I was in danger of falling down the stairs. I got a stairlift from Bruno. It had the best reviews online. Their sales rep came out after hours on a Monday night. He was very nice, very professional and he wasn't here more than 45 minutes. He did not try to upsell us on anything. He was great to work with and he knew what he was talking about.

    The guy who came out to install showed up on time. He was friendly, but he did his work, and he was gone in a few hours. He had put in two straight lifts. He was great. The only thing we did not like is the way he put the wires for plugging it in. He tied it down with like a million zip ties and it looks like we have stitches on our wall. It looks terrible. We said we would just leave it that way till after the inspector came and then we would cover it up with something.

    I find that the lift is a little bumpy, which worries me that it may fail at some point. But so far, so good. It's letting me do more than I anticipated. I knew it is gonna help me get up and down the stairs, but it's also allowed me to carry things up and down the stairs. So that gives me a little bit more freedom. I don't ask my husband to carry everything. I've already told other people to try Bruno. As a matter of fact, people come into my house to try it out.

    My father had an automobile accident in November. He had to go to a rehab center for the month of January, hoping to come home at the end of January. He has to go up a flight of stairs to go home. The rehab told me that he needed a stairlift because he has to go up a flight of stairs and he couldn't really walk so well. So I called Westchester Stairlift and they have the Bruno chairlift. They promoted the Bruno, saying that it is the only company that does outdoor chairlifts. So I gave them $5,000 to install a chairlift on the side of my house for my father. They did it about the second or third week of January.

    Unfortunately, my father passed away on January 30th. So he never made it even home to use the chairlift. I called Westchester Stairlift telling them about it and they gave me a runaround telling me that the most they can give me is $500 for the chairlift. I told them it was never used and it's really ridiculous for me to take a 90% hit. They called me back a week later and said there might be a lady in Queens that might wanna buy the chairlift because she didn't have that much money. I said it was okay and asked what were we talking. They told me that she might give me $1,000. I said that was a little better but that was still embarrassing. I never heard from them and I've been super busy. I don't have any siblings doing all the paperwork with my father's passing, with the will and attorneys. The last thing I wanna worry about is this stupid chairlift inside of my house.

    I got a phone call from consumer something and I told them about it and they gave me a number at Bruno to call. I called Bruno and they said once it was installed, that was it. You're taking a one-way road. I asked them what do I do? The best thing that they could tell me was either give it back to Westchester for 500 or try to privately sell it and maybe get $1,000 or $1,500 for it. This was after I spent $5,000 a little over a month ago. So as far as Westchester Stairlift and Bruno, I'm not a happy consumer because it was never used and they are giving me 10% of what I paid for it. I'm dissatisfied with both of them. Bruno said Westchester Stairlift was a diamond and that they were like the platinum of installers. But when it really comes down to it, they're leaving me out to dry.

    We live in a split-level home. We have seven steps one way and eight the other up to the bedroom and down to the den and the washroom, etc. We’ve got two bathrooms upstairs, we’ve got one bathroom downstairs, but we have no bathroom on the main level. We don’t have a bedroom on the main level. I’m 84 and my husband is 88. When something happens to us, it makes it hard getting to the bathroom. He broke his bone in his ankle and he was wearing a boot. And then he took cellulitis in his leg after they took the boot off and he couldn’t get up and down the stairs good.

    I did a dumb thing before Christmas. I hurried to turn the TV off and I stepped on the corner of my sweeper and it just swept me right up under the dining room table on my back and my rear end. I thought I’d broke a bone but I laid there for about 15 minutes and talked to my cousin out-of-state. I was waiting to see if I was hurt and I didn’t even tell her what happened. My husband tried to help me up and I said, “Wait. Let me start moving around to see what’s wrong.” Nothing was broken. I could move and I felt fine. But the next day, my rear end was so sore. I couldn’t even move.

    From then on until after Christmas, I could hardly walk. Our children decided we’d build a room in the garage and I didn’t want that right away. So, we looked into Bruno stairlift and we thought now is the time to get it even though we were getting better. We didn’t really need it then but you never know when you will. And to make them happy, we went ahead and got it. Their reps were wonderful. They didn’t push this on us at all. We called them and had someone come out and tell us about it. The rep was very nice. I really liked him. When we were ready for it, they got it in within two days. I was impressed with that and I would highly recommend them. My husband uses it more. When we carry laundry upstairs, either we put it on the lift and send it up or we sat down and carry it up. Most of the time, though, we lay it on it and send it up. A lot of my things are downstairs that I used to carry up so I’m using it for everything. Overall, I’m satisfied.

    I’m on 100% unemployability through the VA as a Vietnam veteran. I got approved through the VA in Salisbury. So, the stairlift was no cost to me. That was a plus for me. I went to the lady, talked to her about it and showed her how many steps I had to go upstairs. It was hard for me to do with two replacement knees. I got the deluxe chairlift that could hold more weight ‘cause I’m a little overweight. The guy put it in but it started stopping at the first day. I gave him a call and they were here promptly the next day. He made some adjustments and I haven’t had any problem since.

    The Bruno stairlift is handy for me to have. You just push a button on the side of the chair and it’ll take you right on upstairs. And then you can turn a knob on the left side. I can pull both arms back or swivel the seat, and I can step right out on upstairs, and I’m good to go. I like that feature. The stairlift has a lot of safety features that I like too. The rep went over with that with me. It’s very quiet going up and down. That’s another good thing. It doesn’t make a lot of noise. I really enjoyed the stairlift a lot.

    My dad was unable to climb the stairs easily so getting a stairlift was needed to be done. We chose Bruno's 101 Mobility ‘cause they have a local franchise. The man came out and talked to us right away. I was happy with the price versus what I had heard about what they could cost. He offered two different choices. I thought that that one would take up the least space and work the simplest, with the least maintenance.

    We did not have a lot of room, and we left the railing in place so it’s out into the middle a little further than we have liked, but we got to keep both railings and the stairwell. I can still get by it at the bottom. We keep it at the bottom because of how narrow the stairway is. That way, it’s not as dangerous to go around in there. The two guys that installed it were really friendly, helpful and quick. They were here for about two hours. The only thing is I don’t quite understand why the chair can’t turn both directions ‘cause it’s sort of enclosed between two walls. So, getting off at the bottom, you have to kinda turn on the chair ‘cause it doesn't turn in the other direction to get off it. But it has to turn at the top so you can get off safely. It’d be nice though if you can turn in the other direction too to get off at the bottom. That could have been an easy thing to do. But my mom enjoys the stairlift.

    My wife's knees and ankles made get a stairlift, and we went with with Bruno based on internet research and the availability of product. The sales visit with them was good. The guy had good information and he provided a reasonable answer to our situation. We went with a straight model and we got two because we have a landing in our middle of our bent stairs, so there is one angle, a landing and then another angle. It was still cheaper to buy two of those than to buy one. The stairlift fits well in the stairwell, and my favorite feature is the rack and pinion system. It’s been a very good product, overall.

    My wife and I were 81 years old and had a rough time going up and down the stairs. There are 12 steps and it's difficult. Our washer and dryer are in the basement. My wife could not walk, so I was using the stairlift to let her down into the garage level, which is on the bottom of the basement floor. It also helps me out. By traveling up and down the stairs after a day or so, I get a little pain in my knees. The sales reps were really good. We're a bunch of farm boys, so we have a lot in common. We also had a good time when they were putting the stairlift in. We thought it would take four hours, but they came, went after it and got it all completed in two hours. I'm happy with everything. The is very good and we should have put it in 10 years ago.

    I got a Bruno stairlift and I'm enjoying it. My favorite part is coming up the step. But I'm having a problem with the footrest of the lift. It's short and sometimes, my feet can't stay up, especially when I'm coming up. I'm a tall guy and I'm having problems like bending my knees and my foot hangs over the footrest. Sometimes, it hits the step when I'm in operation. Still, the stairlift is helpful. Also, the reps who came were professional, friendly and they answered my questions when I asked a question.

    My son Albert has multiple disability, and in March of last year, he had 50 seizures one day in the ER and it caused some brain damage. So, with him having brain damage, he was trying to walk and stand up. And all of our bedrooms are upstairs, but I didn't want to move because I do sessions on future planning if something happens to your loved one. If something happened to me, he would feel he was at home -- he was born, raised and lived here 21 years of his life. The Bruno sales representative we dealt with was a very kind and nice. He was understanding because Albert had his mood swings while he was here, but he kept right on working and everything was fine. The installer did a great job, too.

    We moved into a house with stairs, and I can’t climb stairs very easily at all. My husband can’t either. He can climb, but it’s better if he rides up too, so we’re both using the stairlift. Our interaction with the sales team was fine -- I did not have any hesitation. I had worked with them before with a wheelchair and I was familiar with them, and that was why I gave them the business. I was very pleased with the whole thing. The man that installed it was wonderful and he answered all my questions. The stairlift is perfect. It made it easier to live where we are living. I couldn't live here if I did not have it. I also love having two remote controls, one for downstairs and one for up.

    My wife is a diabetic and over a period of time lost her leg below her knee. Needless to say a very traumatic experience with a month stay in a hospital and a two month stay at a rehab facility. Our house is two stories which required a stairlift. I learned there were two companies that were recommended in our area. Without getting into too many details I was shocked that one company tried to take advantage of my situation knowing she was coming home in a few days after multiple months stay in the hospital and rehab facility. I canceled that company business and contacted Bruno Stairlifts at the recommendation of the rehab facility and Hanger Prosthetic in Silverdale.

    Bruno is a angel company to work with as well as Hanger Prosthetic. Their business representatives/professionals are caring, knowledgeable, fair. Their products are the best quality you can buy in their business. Most importantly they are in the business to help people in the need for health products. I would highly recommend their business to the public. I am retired, however was in Law Enforcement for 44 years of service. These two business represent the best of the best.

    I got Bruno stairlfit through the Veteran's Administration. The guy that came out to the house and talked to me and took the measurements seemed to know what he was doing. He was knowledgeable and thorough, and I just felt comfortable with him. The stairlift looked like it was well constructed. Unfortunately, for me, I had to have some electrical work done before it was installed, and I had to put in an electrical outlet to plug it in. I delayed that because I didn't want an electrician to come out here for 10 minutes and run a wire and cost me a couple hundred bucks to have him do that. So, I stalled to get some other electrical work wind up, and that went on and on for a couple years.

    And then, things got kind of bind and all my fault. I also had a battle to get Bruno to back on the VA schedule and finally got it done. and as luck would have it, I ended up in the hospital. I'm a senior and I had to go into an assisted living facility. So, after all I've worked, I've only used it a couple of times so far. But I'm gonna be using it because it's in my house and my assisted living facility is only about a mile away, and I have lots of stuff to do with my house on the second floor. Once I get myself together here, I'll be using it more and more, but the couple times that I've used it, it worked just fine. I was real happy with it because I couldn't get upstairs. My bedrooms are upstairs, and my shower is up there, so I had to have a help navigating the stairs to get up to the second floor, but that was all taken care of now. I just needed to get back home.

    I’ve had two heart attacks this past year and I’ve got cystic fibrosis in the lungs, and both of them occurred after I walked up the stairs. So, getting a stairlift was a preventive measure. My wife is a computer geek and she looks everything up on the computer. She started doing the calling and found this one place, and we went over and tried them out. It took a couple of days and we made a decision. We also got the chairlift and the electric chair from Bruno. We can put it on a rack on the back of the car and carry it around. We just don’t like taking it out in the rain, and we do have a cover for it.

    I don’t use the stairlift as much as my wife does. We used to breed show dogs and we have a kennel in the basement with seven dogs. So, she has to go down there to take care of them. Downstairs was more for the dogs and a bathroom and a small kitchen for preparing their meals so it’s a necessity to go up and down. If we didn’t have the dogs, we wouldn’t have a need for the downstairs. We’re both in our late 70’s and we’ve had knee surgery, and it takes the stress off. I don’t go down that much because I’m on oxygen 24/7 and getting oxygen downstairs is a little bit of an ordeal.

They were very helpful and I did everything they could to make it easy and quick and make the installation just what I needed. They adjusted the stairlift as low as it possibly could, and for some reason, it still seemed a little bit high to me. Maybe it's just the way I'm built. I'm 5'7" and I have slightly short calves and that might have to do with it. But at this point, it's very workable.

I can see it's helpful and some people won't mind it, but I didn't like it. I prefer it, even if the click in and out of the seats, were not so loud. I have a sister who visits occasionally and she says that I need to be sure that the chair's in place so that if someone is upstairs or downstairs and one is using the remote to bring it to them, it will be able to move because otherwise, it won't.

But with the stairlift, like my Christmas decorations are in a little tote so I can sit it on the chair and there's the remote that I can sit that on the chair and it can just take it down while I hold the remote button down. I can go down and put it away and go back. It's helping with the chores.

We had an older one that had bitten the dust and it had a very heavy railing to take out, and I don't know how he did it. So far, the Bruno stairlift is fine and the quality seems good.

    My brother made an appointment with a Bruno rep to come over. We got the stairlift because our mother is capable of walking up and down the stairs, but no one can guess when her knee is going to buckle. The installation was fine. They told me it was gonna take three hours but it didn’t because they constructed it before they got here. They just had to put the rail in, so it took a lot less time than expected.

    I’m sure they thought they were gonna be out of here quicker. But because of my own background and the fact that our mother is gonna use the stairlift when I’m not in the house, it took some time. Plus, she’s a little bit handicapped in her one hand. She’s missing part of her thumb, so it’s kinda hard to push a red button that you can’t see and you can’t push. It would be good if they had a demo site. They suggested that we go to someone's house here in our local area, but that's kind of an awful thing. Also, I had to ask for the book to see how it worked. It wasn’t given to me. Then, we called them back for service because there was a clicking sound. But they sent a second person and they knew exactly what to do and the clicking sound is gone.

    The stairlift is okay, other than a little dangling of feet. We’re under five feet and sitting in the seat, we can’t rest our feet on the footrest. But that doesn't prevent the use or the safety of it. My mother could get in and out of it easily enough. Everything is fine. We’re using it like we’ve had it in the house for years and we’re overall satisfied.

The man who came to measure was wonderful. He was very helpful and he explained what would happen. Then before I knew it, in less than a week, the people were there installing it. It was just wonderful. The installers were very young but they were enjoying their job. They were funny, helpful, and good about demonstrating how to use the stairlift and explaining all the ins and outs. We were gone for two weeks after it was installed for the holiday, and so we're still getting used to it. The only challenge is that the washing machine is in the basement and getting past the stair to get downstairs with a huge load of laundry is somewhat challenging, but I've been known to use the chair to take the laundry down.

We have a friend as well who can barely walk up. She can’t walk down and has to sit down. So with multiple reasons of why we can’t get up and down the steps, we got a stairlift. The Bruno sales visit was really good and the guy gave us all the information we wanted. Then he came out to the house and measured. We asked him some more questions about how the stairlift works and he really knew his business. When the installation team came over, they said that they would have it done in a couple hours and they did. They left it super clean as well so it was nice.

    We got a straight stairlift and we have over 40 inches on the lift there on the stairwell so it fits in real good. It goes up and down, and when people sit in it, even when they're elderly, they feel confident ‘cause it feels strong. Since we got the stairlift, my wife's hip feels a lot better. And my mother-in-law who normally won’t try anything new, said, “I’m afraid of it.” But she sat in the thing and I showed her how to operate it. Now, she loves it and she thinks it’s great.

    I had a Bruno stairlift previously in my cellar steps a long time and I’ve had good service with it. Once going down the basement, the stairlift is wonderful considering how many times a day we use it. We’ve had the stairlift from the first floor to the basement where we have a lot of refrigerators and the only problem we had is that one time, the batteries went bad. So, it has had the batteries replaced. I don’t know how many years it is since we’ve had that stairlift but it's well over a decade, and it's good.

    We had a recent sales visit from them for another stairlift and everything was all right. Everything went along smoothly and then the guys came and put it in. We have it in my first floor to my second floor, and the quality is quite nice. They’ve modernized it quite a lot from what we have going down the cellar. We're using it, though my wife uses it more.

    We installed 2 of these in our 3-level home about 6 months ago, thinking one of our moderately-mobility-impaired relatives would enjoy it when visiting. Little did I know that I would need it myself -- within a week after installation I was using it regularly. The salesman was very good, installer(s) the same, and two early problems were addressed timely. I made the mistake of not researching more options before buying, and suspect I might have gotten more bang for the buck had I done so. My major complaints are:

    1) It's too slow -- it takes about 75 seconds to go downstairs, and about 50 seconds up. If you're making the trip to go to the john, it seems much longer.

    2) It's noisier than I would like -- rumbles going both up and down. I'm concerned that this might be a sign of potential failure.

    3) It has way too many safety features that make it a pain in the neck to use. a) You have to hold the switch "on" to operate it, which makes it very hard to carry something in your lap. b) There's an annoying beeper that sounds off on many occasions. For example, we'd like to park one of the chairs turned 90° to make it easier to get off and on the chair, but it wants to be parked in riding position. And it must be parked at the very end of its travel; it would be much more convenient for us if it could be parked about a foot short. But no, it sits there and beeps.

    4) Service for it appears to be crazy expensive. A service contract is $1400/year, or you can buy by the drink for T&M plus $150/trip. As someone else remarked, they should give away the lifts and just sell service. I'm hopeful, however, that it won't break -- it looks pretty rugged. I can do a lot myself (e.g., change batteries), but there's a lot of circuitry that's way over my pay grade.

    All in all, I'm glad I bought a stairlift, maybe don't want to know how much less I could have gotten away for.

I contacted a local stairlift installer, who carries Bruno, and we had a straight one installed. We now have three stairlifts in our house. Earlier, the same provider had installed one out in my garage so I could get up to my office because they were steep stairs. And then, we had a neighbor who moved out of her house and she gave her stairlift to us. We had it installed, with the new one, for the 90-degree turn in our stairs.

    The stairlift has been installed for about a month now and we use it daily. You can walk alongside it but with some difficulty as it takes up two-thirds of the stairwell when the arms, the seat and the footrest are down. But they fold up. It’s a good quality product. We had some issues with the one in the garage, but our local fellows at Mobility Systems from Hattiesburg, Mississippi were good to service it.

It takes up room, but it’s a necessity. And it’s been really handy, otherwise, my husband was gonna have to slide. He has to go for a physio and then with all kinds of doctor’s appointments, and that has really helped. The quality of the stairlift so far seems to be excellent.

They said they haven't heard anything from Rick and they were making arrangements for somebody to come over. It has already been two or three weeks. The service is **.

    Also, there are a few things about this straight stairlift that I'm not impressed with. When it gets to the top of the stairs and I rotate the seat, it starts to trip to indicate that it’s at the top and swivel up 90 degrees. When my wife goes to bed, she has to turn around and straighten the chair back up 'cause the tripping doesn't stop. Bruno should have some sort of a sensor with which if the lift is not being used for a length of time, it would have the trippers shut off.

That one they’ve discontinued and don't do the parts after 10 years, so I had to get a new one. The new one just got put in last month. The installers were great. I've used them for 10 years, and they’re good guys.

    We got a townhouse and we sized down from a big house. We knew when we bought that that if we were gonna live there, we’d need a stair elevator. So, we’ve been here 12 years, and we’ve had one 11 years. I like this new one a lot better than the other one. The other one was really heavy, had a flat track and all the dirt and stuff got in it. This one is vertical track and aluminum. And it says in the warranty that the aluminum tracks are guaranteed for life. If something goes wrong with the track, it’s part of the warranty and they’ll replace it. So I like that. It’s got some good warranty on the Bruno products because you don’t know if aluminum is gonna stand up the same way that cast iron do.

    And my wife really likes the fact that this is a lot lighter. It’s easier for her to lift the handles up, put the seat up and down. The other was really heavy and I could never move anything or do anything with it without getting one of my sons to help. Like when I had to take it out to get new flooring put in, I had to get help because it’s so heavy. But I also liked that product, I just like this one better. And that makes sense because it’s a newer product. They make improvements all the time. I’m just hoping it’s got some longevity because lighter products tend to wear out.

    My 91-year-old mother has dementia. And the only in and out from our house, which was built kind of on an incline was stepped, and it would have been impossible to push her on a ramp. I figured that a stairlift would be the perfect thing for her. The rep from Bruno was great. At first, I was thinking to get a ramp and then he saw we had basement steps into the garage, so he measured for the ramp and then he measured for the garage. Then he looked at the garage and he said, “Your best bet would be for a stairlift.” That was probably gonna be a little bit less than a ramp, and so it might’ve been more money for him but I appreciated his advice. He said, “I don’t want to sell you something you'd be unhappy with. I wouldn’t wanna have to push somebody up a ramp that size.” So, I appreciated his advice. And he assured me it would be done very safely, and it was.

    The stairlift is great. In fact, I use it to bring heavy groceries and bulky things that’s hard for me to bring up. It's two for the price of one. We got a straight stairlift. It goes into a basement, and we got the one that holds 400 pounds. The installer came when he said he was gonna come and he was no trouble. He installed it. He was wonderful. He was out getting those little covers for the railing itself. And I sat in it and I could tell that it might still be too high for my mom and I asked him if there was anything he could do. At first, he didn't think he could, but he came back and said, “I lowered it by an inch.” It’s perfect. He was really nice.

    Mom had tried the stairlift three times and she did fine with it. The stairlift is not cheap. I went into it expecting it to be maybe 2,000, but it ended up being 3,725. Things are always more than you think they’ll be. And I told our doctor that I got her a stairlift, and he wanted to know how much it cost, and he thought it’s what he would expect.

    Our stairlift will impact both me and my mom greatly because it was hard to get her out of the house. I had just a little, tiny ramp on the front porch and then she had about seven steps to go down, and I have railings. But she had to use both hands on one rail and she barely shuffles when she walks, and it was kinda dangerous. Even though I was with her, it could’ve been dangerous. And it was hard on her. She’s frail and it tired her out to go in and out and it tired me out trying to help her. So, I’m thinking that this stairlift will preserve her energy and mine. And I’m hoping that she may be a little more willing to go out once in a while. She stays in the house all the time and that ties me down. So, I’m hoping it’ll make both the qualities of our lives a little bit better.

    I am an in-home health care provider to Pennsylvania. I'm paid through a subcontractor through the state to take care of my mother and elderly grandmother, and that was the reason we purchased the stairlift. And it was through United Disability Services that we were able to get the Bruno stairlift and through a federal grant. Bruno was the option we were given and after looking them up, my mom was very pleased that that was the option we were given.

    The gentleman who did the installation was incredible. He has been with Bruno for over 10 years, had nothing but amazing things to say about the company, and was able to get around hurdles to install our stairlift within the day, and it works amazingly. Even though he forgot one of his battery packs here, he was still incredibly professional about even coming to pick it up. So, I have nothing but great things to say about their install team that came out and did stuff for us as well. They had to put in a new banister and removed the old one to do so. And from construction to clean-up, everything was very smooth. Bruno has a great person, and he should definitely be rewarded for such. He made it quite comfortable to not only have something that big in my house, but then make me feel comfortable after he left too. So, I really appreciate that, and I hope that's how Bruno is training all their staff.

    I was researching chairlifts and found that everybody said Bruno is the most dependable. So, then, I started looking for who to buy one from. I went for a new one. I found a vendor, 101 Mobility. I called them and they sent a fellow out who claimed that he was half owner of their company. I’m 385 pounds, so we discussed that. He was sitting right across from me in my living room while we were talking about it, and he went and measured my stairwell. I needed the left hand and I needed the Elite, the 400-pound capacity. We ordered it and I gave him a sizable down payment of 2800.

    They told me they had it and they were ready to install it. Another fellow came out to install it. He said, “You know, the chair with that is not going to be big enough for you. I can tell already.” And I said that I ordered the big one. He went out to his van and he was out there 15 minutes or so and came in with the chair that went on the lift. It was obviously not big enough for me. And so I knew that the Elite can have a smaller or a large chair. He had to go out and make some calls and when he came back, he said that he talked to his boss and that the bigger chair was like $1500 more. But if I said, “Okay” that day, because of the mix-up, they’ll let me have it for $1250. So, I said, “Pack your stuff up and I’ll call you.” They tell you one thing, and then come out and automatically say, “Oh, that’s not big enough for you,” and then, try to hit you with a big bill, and you are stuck. They, however, refunded my money.

    Then, I called Bruno and most they would do was give me names of a couple other vendors. But nobody discussed prices, nobody could tell me the price. But what I learned is that it is up to the selling party and the installer to charge whatever they want. So, in any event, I called two different vendors, and I picked the one that was a little bit closer, but they both seemed agreeable. They come out and talked to me, and agreed I need a bigger chair. Pennyrile Home Medical is the one that I dealt with, and that 101 Mobility was the problem people. They told me it costed more with the bigger chair, but their final price was like 4150, just $300 more than the other guy that wanted 1250, or if I waited a few days, 1500 for the bigger chair. So, they ordered it, got it, came out, installed it, and it was fine. It has got the big chair and it was quick satisfactory. Overall, as far as Bruno and Pennyrile are concerned, they did everything they did.

We don't have a doorbell and I live downstairs so I asked them to call me on the day of the installation when they get here rather than just beat on the door, and they did. I went up and I could not believe how quickly the stairlift was installed. Then, they showed me how it worked and gave me the two remotes.

    When the charger was beeping and blinking, I took out the booklet and it indicated that there was probably something with the wires but it was not something you could take care of yourself. I called Bruno and a real human answered the phone and not a voice mail. I made the appointment for the next day but my son-in-law who happens to be a mechanic, came home and he unplugged it and plugged it back in again. That solved the issue and the light turned into a solid yellow, which meant it was charging. Now, it’s a solid green, which means it’s fully charged. My son-in-law was able to take care of it and the stairlift itself is now working fine. So, I called and cancelled the request for service, and they called back to tell me that they received the message. And once again, "If I had any issues, please give me a call back." They said that they would. They were totally professional and handled it very well.

    When I have the chair folded up and the footrest folded up, there is plenty of room to get up and down the stairs to get past it, which is important because I live with my daughter, her husband, and their three boys, and they come up and down the stairs.

    There's a Bruno store was close by and I decided to buy a stairlift from them. I like it and it does the job. It gets me up and down, though I wish it went faster because I could crawl up the stairs quicker. But I know that it’s not supposed to go really fast and when I get to 104, I’ll probably appreciate the fact that it goes slower. It also takes up a lot of room in my very narrow staircase, since it’s not that wide of a staircase. Plus, I wish that the chair would swivel on the bottom of the staircase, but it’s not necessary. It only swivels when you’re at the top to the right. Other than that, the chair itself works wonderfully. My grandson loves it as well and thinks it’s the greatest thing since Swiss cheese.

    But I realized that they connected it to a light switch, so they have to come back and re-do that. All of a sudden, it started beeping and I was going all around the house trying to figure out if it was the washer, the dryer, the microwave, or stove. It was kinda hard to find where it was coming from and finally, I discovered that it was the stairlift. So, I turned off the switch and I called them up. They came over and they did something, but what they did wasn’t the right thing because it still has a problem. At the moment, I have to keep the light on to use the stairlift. If I turn the light off, the thing starts beeping again. So either I turn off both the switch on the light and the chair, or I switch them both on. But it isn’t a terrible thing and it's not the end of the world. And despite that, the people there were nice, very friendly, and local. I also paid more than I should’ve, but it doesn’t matter.

She’s about 70 pounds and it’s hard for us to get her up and down the stairs. So that we could get to the basement, we got a chairlift.

    We also had a Bruno chairlift at our other house, but when we sold the house, we were told that the stairlift wouldn’t fit in another stairway so we had to leave it. I thought that the straight pieces would work, but they wouldn't because all stairs aren’t made the same. The person that installed the old chairlift installed the new one for us. They're really nice people and we’ve had good experiences with them.

    The chairlift is great. It’s really heavy-duty and can carry 400 pounds so I could sit on it and hold her if I wanted to. Plus, extra things were added for our daughter because of her disability. It curves into my kitchen area, away from the stairs and now there’s no way she could fall down the stairs. The seat and arms fold up when it's in the stationary positions at the top or the bottom. We got the remote mounted on the wall downstairs and upstairs.

    It has seatbelts on it. There are also shoulder harnesses on so she wouldn’t tip over. Her bottom isn’t flat. When her pelvic bone broke, it came loose and it twisted so she sits lopsided. By having shoulder harnesses on, stationing her feet the way they need to go, and putting the seatbelt on her, she can ride up and down by herself. She doesn't know how to do the remote on the armrest, so we make her go up and down, but it’s great for a quadriplegic person.

    I'm disabled, so I have a hard time walking. The stairlift from Bruno makes my life a lot easier. It looks good and it's comfortable. The sales rep was a nice gentleman who was very informative and told me the pros and cons, and how to take care of the stairlift. The installers were in here about 9:00 and were out by noon. I live above a pharmacy, and I told the pharmacist the installers were there but the pharmacist said he never heard them.

    I have a terrible time walking, and steps became very difficult. When we had looked at the stairlift from another company, it was made in England and they said it takes a week or 10 days to get parts if I needed them. Bruno was made here and I could get parts immediately. The sales rep told us all about the product and explained it. He was also polite. The installation took about three hours and they cleaned up everything, and it was a good experience. I'm happy with the stairlift. Something has come a tiny bit out of adjustment on the very bottom. And we’re gonna call and have that taken care of, but that’s not a problem.

    There was just one guy who did the installation but it didn't take very long. I use the stairlift daily. I love it. If you get used to it, it works great.

    My husband was paralyzed on one side and could not walk down the stairs anymore. Bruno was the one recommended by the company that we hired to install it. The gentleman who sold it was excellent and very accommodating. We got the curve type from them and it fits perfectly in our stairwell. The installation team did their job. However, my husband had a lot of problems. He is paralyzed on his right side and the switch was initially installed on the left side. So when he would stand up, he would hit the switch. In fact, he was pushed out of the chair at one point and they have been trying to correct this issue.

    The installers came out for me and transferred the on/off switch up to his right side, so that when he'd stand up, he would not be hitting it. And he still, on numerous occasions, has caught a shoulder on it. When the arm is up, he has caught a jacket on it and the chair has started when he doesn't have a seatbelt on, and I consider it very, very dangerous. The company claims nobody else has had this problem and we find that very hard to believe since it has happened to him so often. The installer is still working on a solution and supposedly talked to Bruno about it. But as of yet, we don't have a solution and it is potentially a very dangerous situation. A stairlift is an expensive item, but it was something that was necessary. Bruno stairlift gets my husband up and down the stairs, but it's still a significant issue for us.

    Because of medical conditions, I needed a stairlift and I had to have 2 estimates for Veterans Affairs that was covering it. I got a Bruno straight stairlift and the installation went very well. The individuals who installed were very friendly and knowledgeable. It didn’t take very long when they put it in and it's been working all right since then.

    We got a Bruno stairlift so my grandpa could get out to the garage, and then I could get him into the car easier. He had a different one in the house for going upstairs, but I found Bruno that was more reasonable. It’s still expensive but better than the other one, with about a $2,000 difference. It’s not very compact but it does okay. We’ve only used it once or twice since it has been put in, and everything has been fine so far.

    40 years ago, I took a major stroke. And a lot of my right side's not working so good so I purchased a stairlift from Bruno. At that time, I was sleeping in a recliner because going upstairs was very frightening. I was having the VA help me into my home. And the person that they sent out, showed me what Bruno could do, how well it would work, and how it help me get up. They can do all the things that I would require and they did it.

    The company Totally Mobile came in one day and put in two stairlifts. One of them for my first floor to my second floor, and one for my basement to the first floor. And they've been working great ever since. I got the straight stairlift and it fits in very well. It has changed my life for the better. I can go upstairs, I can go up and take a shower, I can go to bed. It makes your whole life seem like you want to live it and not just go along with the ride. My favorite feature is I can ride it up and down. I have a problem with my ability to get up and out of things, and it makes it so much easier now. And to where it leads me up, I feel very safe now. But before that, I didn't feel safe at all. It's also easy to use, 'cause you just push the button. It's also easy to get in and out of.

    I have a contractor and he got Bruno for me. The representative came in and did everything perfectly. I got a curved stairlift. I’ve had it going for about two and a half months. Years ago, I tried to get one and they said they couldn’t fit it in. The installers did a good job of putting it up and it fit in the area very well. They gave me the booklets and who to call, and I sent the thing in for the warranty. I had somebody come out because it was beeping and they had to do something with it, but other than that, it’s doing fine and there are no problems.

    I got Bruno through the VA and they provided everything. The installation team was very professional and it took a little bit of time, but they got everything right. I struggle to walk upstairs, which was why I got a stairlift. It gives me enough time to sit down, go upstairs and swivel the chair so, I have no problems. People should go with Bruno because it did a good job for me.

    WCB chose Bruno for me and I got a curved stairlift. The installation team told me what they were doing and after it was completed, they gave a demonstration. I couldn’t make it to one landing and I would have to stop and sit down and rest for 10 or 15 minutes, then go walk. Now that I'm using the stairlift, I don’t have to walk anymore and I feel safer. It has made life a lot easier.

    My mom is elderly and she was having a hard time getting up and down the stairs but wanted to stay in her own home. The Bruno sales rep came to the home, took pictures and looked at everything. We went to the store, and we were able to ride in them and try them out. So, it was good. We were here when the installer put it in and he didn’t have too many problems. He had to make a phone call or two while he was doing it, but other than that, it went in well. We got the straight stairlift with the chair that swivels at the top but the bottom part folds back because it extends farther than the bottom of the bottom step. So, it was kinda in the way. It folds up and when you fold it back down, there’s a locking mechanism, which is adjoined, and we had a little bit of a hard time and realized that she won’t be able to lock that. My brother-in-law fiddled with it and fixed it. We figured out that we don’t need to fold that back anyway and the stairlift is working great.

    PCA was renting the stairlift that I had before, and then they put in a Bruno which is so much better. It's a smoother ride. It doesn’t jerk at all going up or down. When you get in and push the button, you’re riding. Also, the one that I had was so loud, while this is a whisper quiet in comparison. I really like it. The guys who put it in were really nice and they took down some of the wiring for the other stairlift that was bigger and had more wiring around my bedroom door. The only thing I like better from the other stairlift was that it didn't have a remote. It was connected to the electric in the house, and then attached to the walls. With the Bruno stairlift I have to make sure to put the remote somewhere that when friends come with little children they don't play with it. Other than that, it’s great.
