I really like the Bruno stairlift. It matches my home well. The track is impressive too. It looks like it's for a roller coaster. The chair is priceless. It's big, and it rides smoothly. I like everything about it - the plate, the seat, the arms on it and the seat belt.
The people who installed this equipment are top-notch. They're very informative. However, the people who schedule these things are very difficult to deal with. They'll leave you a message on the phone, and tell you they can deliver the next day if you call them at a certain time. But I don't get the message till past the time they require so it's too late. They'll call first thing in the morning, and they'll want to deliver that same day, which sometimes doesn't work. The one that we're having done now didn't work the first time. The lady was very pushy and was telling me she'd call the VA and tell them that I didn't want it done the next day. There's a whole difference there in personnel, between the people who work in the front office and the people who do the installation. It's like they don't even work for the same company.

I'm a disabled veteran, and I couldn't get upstairs. The VA provided the Bruno stairlift for me, and the installation went very well. It took a long time to get the stairlift, and I couldn't access my upstairs or my bedroom until I got it so it's made a huge impact in my life. The stairlift is slow, but it's good. The quality is awesome. The experience has been professional and I'd tell others who are considering a Bruno stairlift to have one.

I've had a very good experience with Bruno. My insurance would pay for my stairlift that we had installed in our home. Because I'm on dialysis, and I have that policy with them, that allows me to do that. I can do up to two modifications in a lifetime with the insurance company. I just have to check it out and see what I need to do next. Bruno is a good lift. My wife and I are large people, so trying to find something that will handle our weight capacity was a concern at first, and then what the insurance company would do. So, they told us that this specific lift will do up to 300 pounds, and my wife and I are both about 260. We got the straight Bruno lift.
The salesperson is the owner of the business, and he called me after the insurance had informed him that their bid had been approved. The installation was a very good experience. The actual owner installed the lift, and took him two and a half hours, which is what they quoted us it would take about to have it installed. If he had questions, he would come up and he'd ask us, and we'd go through that. Overall, the salesperson was very good and the installer did a really good job.

We're installing the Bruno stairlift at my mother's. We started out installing them for me so I could get into the house to help her because she is 96. Now, she is also using them. We have three in her house now. We had the same crew each time. They were fine. The only thing is the seat on the stairlift doesn't rotate both directions. It only rotates one.

The Bruno stairlift has made my life considerably easier. I have a condo and downstairs is just a living room, kitchen, and a toilet. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms. I use the lift to go upstairs and work on my computer or go to bed. It's unluxurious. It's made out of wood. It's not super comfortable or easy, but it's good. It's straightforward and there's little padding on the seats, but it works. I would talk to other about it and tell them about my experience, but not necessarily say, "You have to get. This one is really great," because I have no way of knowing the other chairlifts. I was in a problem area when I had to get the chairs and I was left with a choice of waiting more months to get a different lift or immediately getting the lift which is available right away. I'm satisfied.

Bruno was one of those recommended by the VA and when the reps came out, they walked us through step-by-step about what was available and how they would go about doing it. They were very professional. The installation took two hours and the stairlift fits into the stairwell perfectly. It’s straight up and down and it has been a godsend. We love it.

We purchased a Bruno stairlift for my husband. It was manufactured in the US. We prefer things being manufactured in the US. I was very happy with the speed in which the company delivered. They brought the lift in, they put it in, and it really doesn't take up a lot of space, which is great. It goes up the stairs and it folds up, so it can be compact if need be. It goes from the first floor to the second floor. So far, so good. We've been happy with it. My husband rides it like a champ. It holds him, it does what it's supposed to do, and it seems to be of good material. It seems to be well-built. Now, we can stay in our home.

I bought a stairlift back in ’24. I initially looked it up online and then compared Bruno with one other company, and they said, across the board, that Bruno's product was better. I also knew somebody that had one, and we used theirs, and it was fine too. The people we talked to from Bruno were very engaging and helpful. They came out and put the stairlift in in nothing flat. It wasn't an all-day affair type of thing. They did it in a swift manner, and I haven't had an issue with it since we bought it. I'm happy with what I paid for.
The stairlift goes straight up and down, and it fits fine for anyone to pass by it with no problem at all. My sister-in-law just moved up from Washington, DC and bought a house here in Pittsburgh, and now, she's in the process of talking to somebody to get one put in as well. We said we had a good experience with the people that we did our stairlift with and that she should try them.

The way my house is, when you go up the steps, the stairlift goes to the left and to the right. I have four bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The Bruno installers put the stairlift on the right side, which is where I wanted it, and on that side, when you got to the top of the steps, you could curve it around to the right, and the chair would be in the hallway, out of the way. But they didn't do that. They stopped it right at the very top of the steps, at the platform. My father-in-law keeps wanting to fold the chair up so it's out of the way in case I come up, and he has to bend over, facing down the stairs. That's one safety issue. We have to keep reminding him. But it has helped for what it was needed. If it had just wrapped around that corner, that would have been easier and safer.
The installer came in, took pictures and did measurement, so I don't know if that's what the VA approved for them to do, or if that's what they decided to do, or how it was done. It was a different guy that installed it, versus the guy that came out for the initial visit. I said, “It stops at the top of the steps. I thought it went around the corner.” He said, “No, the chair swivels.” But we don't want him to swivel it because my father-in-law is a fall risk already.
The remote has this cheesy mount that they slide in the top. It's hard for my father-in-law to get it in there because the remote has a very small side piece that holds it on. So, when you try to slide it in there, that whole top piece of the remote, where the buttons are, pushes in. While you're not pushing the buttons, that piece pushes, and it makes the buttons go up or down. It's a design flaw. You have to reset what you're doing because it will either make that rail come down or to make the chair go up, or vice versa. And your fingers are nowhere near the button. It's just the whole top of the remote, it will push in. I showed my husband I was not even near the buttons, I was pushing it, and it clicked and made it beep and do everything.

The Bruno stairlift that I got is good. It's bigger than I thought. It took a little more room. But I like it. I used it over the week, and went to the hospital. I just got back this week, and I can't go upstairs. I'm staying downstairs. But the stairlift seems to be pretty heavy-duty. The people who put it in were nice and very clean. There was no mess. I’d recommend it to a friend.

The Bruno stairlift is working out pretty well. It seems really nice and strong. The beeping gets on my nerves. But other than that, it's good. The guy who measured it, delivered it and put it in was extremely nice. We had good conversations. He explained everything. We're well satisfied. My husband used to have to go out around the house and down the basement steps to take a shower. Now, he doesn't have to do that. He does it from the first floor to the basement. And he's 90 years old. When it rains, not having to go out and around is a big help.

I had the Bruno stairlift installed from my upstairs to my basement for the laundry room. The installers had to come back out again to move it a little bit further because my knee was hitting the other banister. They've done great both times that they were here. The stairlift works good. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is the beeping where you have to wobble the seat a little bit. I know it's like a warning, but I keep forgetting about it because I don't hear it; my wife does. My wife and my dog don't like it. The dogs are barking, wondering what's going on, and then my wife starts to bark, and then that means I get upset.

One Bruno stairlift is on my front staircase that goes from my main floor up to my second floor, which is where the bedrooms are. We also put one down to the basement, where our laundry room is. They're great. I did it for my wife, who has Parkinson's disease, and I was concerned that she wouldn't want to use it or would find them hard to use. We installed them and she has been using them, which is great. It's what we wanted. I looked at her and said, "If you fall down the stairs, you're done. You'll never come back." Fortunately, they work. That's all I can ask.

My brother-in-law had stairlifts put in and it went through Lifeway. We couldn't get the aluminum ones because of its weight. So, it was either the 350-pound one or the 400-pound one because my husband is around 300 pounds and he's big-boned. That's why the person recommended Bruno Independent Living Aids. I went through three reps. The first one took pictures of the staircase right away. This was in January. I went with another service. They would do the same one. They were out of Lake Bluff. But he didn't take any pictures.
The first one, even though it was the first thing and it was recommended by my brother-in-law, he took pictures of the stairway in the past. When the third one, I said about Lifeway, he said, "We can do it in eight weeks. You don't have to wait 14, 16 weeks." Later on, he read the wrong memo and he couldn't guarantee it. So even though the second one was a little cheaper, the first one was a ahead of the game because it already passed their system.
My husband broke his femur. It healed, but he was another six months in physical therapy and he can go home. So we had grab bars put in from them, and we had to wait for the stairlift. But that is what would come the soonest. We had to give Eden Vista, who's in Hoffman Estates, 30 days' notice so my husband could come out. He got out March 21st. The grab bars were put in February 25th. They were a little hesitant because they couldn't put the grab bar that goes in the steps in the garage into the house.
But I found on Amazon a ramp that could go up to eight inches for the step, so we used that. It's a little hard when you do the doorway and it goes from the house to the garage because it's not that stable. Hcame out on the 21st. They said, "We know it shipped, but we haven't gotten it yet." They got it the day before. We got it in on March 25th.
I thought the installation would take the whole day, but it only took four to five hours and they were very specific on how many inches high and everything else and they were very good at what it did. They were very good and they were thorough about everything. I gave them each a tip. I was very thankful. We have a remote control and this. I've been using it mostly. My husband has gone up and down it twice. My husband used to walk up the step with a cane, but there's no way he would do it now without having a chance to fall. He has a walker, so he can walk. And I'm a person with a cane because I fractured my lower back. But I would go up and down the stairs very carefully. The stairlift helps me too, especially when he wants stuff up there back and forth.

My father has Parkinson's and I got tired of carrying him up and down the steps. So, we purchased a stairlift from Bruno and it was all handled by the VA. We had it installed inside the house, from the first floor to second floor and it goes upstairs to a bedroom and shower. We got the straight model and the quality is great. The only thing I don't like about it is that he can't leave the chair turned because it beeps. I'd rather him be able to leave it that way and this way he'd get in and out easier. Other than that, it works excellent and as described.

It’s a good equipment and it seems to do the task that we had anticipated. So I'm happy with it right now. We got the stairlift through the Veterans Administration. They put out bids and out of the three different companies, the company that got this was the one that used Bruno.

We got our Bruno stairlift through Westchester Stairlifts. We had an excellent experience and would highly recommend them. The stairlift is inside and it's going upstairs from the first floor to second floor. So, it is from the dining room to the living areas. It's straight. I am a contractor, so I can appreciate quality of equipment, and it seems excellent. It's very user-friendly. My father just turned 82 and my mother is in her mid 70s. Both not so tech- savvy, they were able to really pick it up quickly. My mom uses it all day every day. Unfortunately, she broke her leg and traversing up the steps is almost impossible, so it's been a godsend. It's really allowed her to continue living in her own space and recover in her own space.
I'm very happy to hear when products are manufactured in United States. On many levels, particularly knowing that there's a quality control, knowing that there's an issue, that I can reach out to them directly. I know certain things have to be manufactured overseas, but I'm very happy to hear that the Bruno stairlifts were manufactured in the United States. It definitely helped. It wasn't the deciding factor, but we appreciate that they do that, and I appreciate that they are. In total, everything went smooth. For anybody looking for a stairlift, Bruno is the way to go.

My wife dragged me to the store and the showroom and tried the Bruno stairlift. We bought the least expensive one, but it's everything we need. It's extremely well built and I never expected it to be so sturdy. The installers were great. I expected them to be here all day, and they weren't. Two guys measured the stairs and cut the rail so it would fit perfectly. Then, they installed the stairlift. We didn't have an outlet close to it, but they found one in the dining room that the stair backs up to, and we ran the exposed wire around the door frame and hooked it up so it's invisible. They tried creating an outlet in the wall of the closet adjacent. But I never knew there was a conduit and a laundry chute on that wall, so we couldn't get it in there. So, I patched the wall after they left with a metal patch.
The installers were here for about half a day, and did a demonstration and had me ride it up and down. They gave me some warnings of what not to do and told us everything we needed to know. I've used the stairlift every day about six times, and it's worked wonderfully. It's been easy to use and I like the way it folds up and gets out of the way so my wife can go up and down the stairs without it, because she doesn't need it. I wall-mounted the two controls, one upstairs and one downstairs, to call it, if need be. The motor seems strong. I weigh about 175, but it's not straining when it’s lifting me up and down the stairs. So, it's a wonderful product.
I never heard of Bruno before I did my research online and discovered it was the best brand out there. I talked to a classmate, who's an architect who does residences, and she recommended that product. She used it a number of times and all of her clients loved it. I thought it'd be three times the price. So, I was pleasantly surprised. It was worth the money.

We had complications with a previous stairlift and I've had it fixed. At one point, it wasn't working and the person who installed it was no longer in business. So we got another company to come out and assess through my son’s Medicaid waiver. He's six-foot and 280 pounds and they recommended that the Bruno stairlift would work better for him and his size. The seating and the material are much better. The track is much sturdier going up the stairs and it’s working a lot better. The other one was jiggling and jangling midway, and he was panicking going up the stairs with it. Bruno has been great. I was surprised that it's a much better chair, and it was cheaper.

Sometime in the summer, my mother and father are moving in to live with us. My dad can't do stairs too often, so a stairlift would assist him as needed. Then, in case my mom's back fails here and there like it has in the past, that would offer some way of her getting up and down the stairs as well. So, we purchased one due to the physical need of our parents. There were two that were offered based on how our setup needed to go and the Bruno one's mechanical parts were not exposed. It seemed more like part of the staircase versus this contraption being bolted down. So, we went with the Bruno one mainly for appearance, but also for the ease of use. The fact that they're made in Wisconsin, which is close by, was a clincher, too.
The installation was very quick. There was the initial salesman that goes over the different features and what you can do. Then we settled on the Bruno version, and the thing was scheduled to be put in the following week. Then the day of the installation, it was just a one-man operation. He did all his cutting and measuring outside. He was very clean and mindful of keeping doors open or shut, not having his shoes on on the stairs and on the carpet. He was a very good worker. Then, the system was put in. The track and the chair went in, and they're bolted onto the stair tread itself, so there are no brackets to the wall. H
He ran it himself a few times to make sure there was nothing acting up, then he he told us to try it. He showed us how the seats, the arm rests, and the foot rest stow away and can be stored in the upward position. He showed the safety features, too. So he demoed everything ahead of time, then he had us both try it, and it worked flawlessly. Overall, Bruno is topnotch. There were videos to watch on YouTube that clarified a few things and answered questions we had as we talked with the salesman. So the information was very clear as to how the stairlift operates and what they offer. It was really a polished presentation. I am looking forward to the day my mom and dad move in. We also do a lot of Bible studies and my mom is really involved with that with us. My dad's off to the side kind of thing, and we've been praying that he will come down on that stairlift and come sit in the living room at least to sit and listen.

One of the better quality stairlifts available but Caveat Emptor! Rather pricey. Spend $5000 on a lift and when no longer needed you’ll be lucky to get $500 for it. They don’t depreciate like a car. Why? Purchase used or homeowner installed many companies won’t touch it or charge DOUBLE their usual rate. You are often on your own. Bruno tech support is non-existent for the homeowner. You are advised to contact a dealer. Dealers and service companies are FOR PROFIT and prey on the disabled who can often least afford. Quick to sell. Slow to respond if issues.
Bruno will NOT sell simple repair parts to customers for ‘SAFETY’ reasons. Greed would be a more appropriate word. You need to buy used parts on eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, etc. You must use their repair services at $180-250 per hour - often plus mileage. Parts are marked up excessively.

I researched online on what the best stairlift was before I bought Bruno. It seemed like it had the best warranty. It’s the Cadillac of stairlifts and has a sleek design. It is installed inside my home and goes straight up and down the stairs. The installation went great. Carl came out first and talked to me about the Bruno stairlift. I decided on the bigger seat and they ordered the parts. When the parts came in, he called me and gave me a few days to choose from for installation. I picked Tuesday, and Justin came out and installed it and it was ready to go.
I use the stairlift every single day, and it’s been a lifesaver for me. I can just sit down, ride up or down, and even carry things like my laundry basket on my lap. This coming Sunday, I am getting ready to put the Lemon Pledge on the copper, and then dust it with a microfiber cloth. It’s my baby, and it's affordable too. It’s probably a little bit pricier but it’s better than the rest. I just store it upstairs when I’m not using it so it’s not an eyesore. It folds up nicely and stays out of the way. It’s been a wonderful experience and I'm so glad I did it. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made.

The Bruno stairlift is economical and affordable, and our overall experience has been excellent. Quality is good. It fits in good in the contour and hardly noticeable. It's comfortable riding on it. It doesn't jerk and shimmy. It goes right along. I liked that the stairlift was manufactured in the United States. I don't think it made a lot of difference in choosing it, but I liked it when I got it.

I got a Bruno stairlift for the inside staircase to my second floor. When I looked up the companies that did this, there are bunches of them. I belong to a senior citizens center, and they run ads for various things. There were two companies. Bruno was one, and there was another one that offered to do stairlifts. The other company seem to have more variety of services than Bruno does but what convinced me to call Bruno exclusively was that in their ad, they said they were family-owned. It's been my experience in life that companies that are family owned have somebody at the top that's really concerned and considerate about the quality and everything to do with the company, particularly their employees. I didn't even bother to call the other company. I don't need any of their other services. All I needed was a stairlift. Bruno does other things too, but they emphasized the stairlift.
My big thrill was Bruno did it so soon because they have the equipment on hand. I didn't have to wait for several weeks, which was what I anticipated. They came out, looked over my situation, and I put in my order. The rep couldn't have been more efficient. He knew what he was doing. He didn't get into my business compared to some people who are just too friendly. He did the job perfectly. Within a couple of days, they were out here and installed the stairlift. I'm enjoying the stairlift. It's perfect. If you need a stairlift, don't hesitate to go with Bruno.

Several years ago when I was thinking about purchasing a stairlift. I contacted a few places. Westchester Stairlift responded, gave me a thorough review, and I held it for several years until I actually needed the first stairlift, and that was when I contacted them and they honored their first outdated proposal with a new installation. I got a Bruno stairlift and it is fine and accurate. As far as I know, it's about as limited, which I need for relatively narrow staircases. I have only one real problem with it. There is a paddle shifter on the arm to go up and down with. It constantly breaks. I finally had to order what seems to be a very expensive plastic part myself to make it a little more usable. In other words, it isn't a good design. It breaks very easily. Other than that, I have no real complaints with Bruno at all. It performs as well as I expected a stairlift to perform.
I can't compare Bruno to anybody else. I can manage stairs, but since my main staircase is used constantly, I wouldn't be able to use it without the Bruno stairlift. I couldn't spend the whole day laboring up and down the stairs without the stairlift. If somebody I know needs a stairlift, I'd tell them to use Bruno. It's one of the best as far as I know. I've looked here and there, and it was the one that I liked. Plus, Westchester came immediately and convinced me to continue with Bruno.

We had a stairlift at our old house, but we moved and had to get a new one. The company we bought the stairlift from worked with Bruno, so that’s what we got. It was the only one they were selling. I called numerous companies, and most of them all just dealt with Bruno, so I didn’t have a whole lot of options. The installers came out and put in the stairlift and the total installation took about seven hours. They were very good, but the project manager wasn’t great.
We got a straight stairlift and there are a couple of features that weren’t standard that we had on our last stairlift, which is making it tough for my mother-in-law. We had to pay extra for the motorized swivel. Also, the footrest on the old one is motorized. You could push a button and it would come up and get out of the way. On this one, she has to bend over and lift it, and she’s not able to do that. So there are a couple of things we wish were different. But otherwise, it works. We’ve only had it for about three weeks, but it’s doing what it’s supposed to.

Bruno Independent Living Aids' lift is the safest, quietest, best option you could go with, and the least expensive. It's much easier for someone who doesn't have sensation or feeling, and I don't have to worry about them. My husband is mobile, but he doesn't have a lot of feeling in his hands. He just has to touch the little lever, which is easy for him to do. He doesn't have to grip it. The chair pivots, and he doesn't have to wiggle around on it. He's safer getting onto and off of it.
Our house had seven stairs coming up from the garage. My husband can't even do one. We had to have a chairlift put in. We had a different chairlift but it broke within a year. Chattanooga Mobility does my husband's scooters through the VA. We called the other company six times, and they said someone would come out, but they never did. My husband was trapped in the house.
Chattanooga Mobility kept fixing the lift to try and get through and said it's not gonna last. They strongly recommended Bruno Independent Living Aids. Chattanooga Mobility went through step by step why Bruno's was superior and why they liked working with it, and how they could get replacement parts if needed. I was amazed at how quickly Bruno got the lift to them. They installed it. Narrow clearance on the stairs so that anybody can go up and down the stairs, and it's not out in there. It doesn't reach over the landing near the door, so I don't kick it with my shins when I go through the door. Also, it adjusted to my husband's height.

Just over a month ago my husband and I made the wisest decision, both from a handicap equipment and personal financial business perspective. Though we're both physically challenged, and recently developed a most urgent need for a stair lift. Immediately I began researching online, basing assessment not only on thorough company information provided, but very important customer reviews. Thankfully due to the many found, the fact that the Bruno Independent Living Aids product is made in the USA, and is Veteran-founded (I myself am a U.S. Navy Veteran), we made the decision right then to call and arrange for an initial consultation.
On 12/01/25, Jonathan ** (Sales Rep) meet us at our home at 5p to assess our needs. He displayed the utmost professionalism and product knowledge so as we could be well-informed to make the best decision possible. Upon making our decision, Johnathan was able to accommodate processing our down-payment right then, so we could get the process going ASAP as our need was that immediate.
Johnathan was able to accommodate our needs successfully. He's also stupendous in team cooperation and coordination. Johnathan raved about Manny ** (Installer), and his praises were well-founded to be certain. Initially the next available install we were looking at would have been the end of the next week; however with a few phone calls and bring put on a cancelation wait list, we were able to get that scheduled for exactly one week later on 12/08/25 at 1p.
Manny ** (Installer) politely called to let us know he would be arriving shortly. Upon his prompt arrival, his thoroughness, knowledge and professionalism were beyond impressive. His enthusiastic yet profound demeanor of excellence left us enthralled at the fact we'd contracted with a company who brings such joy to its associates.
Manny's precision is unmatched, his technical knowledge so very vast and intricate. He has a way of explaining the stair lift functions so that you're left with no worries, and provides a way to reach out if any questions arise. He doubled-checked his work then showed us all functions until we were completely comfortable with the system. His attention to detail is unsurpassed.
Both Johnathan and Manny are empathetic, genuine, intelligent, kind, extremely professional and are excellent representatives of the Bruno Independent Living Aids Company. It is my sincere hope that both Johnathan and Manny are recognized, honored and rewarded by the company for their excellence, as their hearts are truly dedicated. Without a doubt, I can unequivocally state that this by far is the absolute best handicap accessibility aid company I've ever encountered. I Highly Recommend consulting Bruno Independent Living Aids!

Sometimes when I’m doing the remote and it’s coming down and brings a little lifting down, it hesitates and you have to have the remote directly on the chair before it will move. Other than that, it’s great. It has a little bar that goes down to the bottom of the stairs. It’s nice and even, but it’s not always a smooth ride because it’s in three different sections and it has to adjust itself. If it keeps happening, maybe we’ll call Bruno up and have them come out and check it.

Our Bruno stairlift was purchased through a Medicaid program and they appointed the person. Bruno's reps were very helpful. They told us exactly what they were doing, how the stairlift should be set up, and they were pleasant. They were very good and professional. They did a great job. My house is old, so when the stairlift moves around, it creaks. Other than that, it's perfect. My husband loves it. It's easier for us to get him up and down the stairs. It does well. I'm so thankful. Before, he was just in the dining room. We're thinking about taking the dining room back and putting him in one of the rooms upstairs because he can come up and down the stairs. That gives him more privacy.
The stairlift takes up some space in my living room, but that's par for the course. It had to be put where it was. It comes straight down around and down. It is convenient. I'm thinking about what we could do with the chair for Thanksgiving. I'll take it up to the top three steps, and it's a landing. I'm gonna put it up there, fold everything up, and it's out of the way.

Everything was all organized from the insurance company. Bruno came out, measured once, gave a quote to the insurance company, and then it was approved. Then they came out and measured again. About a month later, they came to install the stairlift. They brought in everything and installed the stairlift, and made sure that it works. Bruno was very professional. They were very responsive. They called us, so it was very good.
The stairlift is an eyesore, but it is what it is. There's not really a way around it because it's for my father's mobility. It's not the prettiest thing, but it's well-constructed. My father is much more comfortable going up and down the stairs. Before, we would have to hold him. He didn't feel comfortable or confident, so he wouldn't go downstairs. Sometimes, he wouldn't eat because the kitchen is downstairs and we had to bring food up to him. So it's a much better situation right now. I'm happy that he's happy.

We needed a stairlift. I talked to different health aides and people helping us with things. They mentioned the Bruno brand so I contacted the person out on the Cape. I felt very comfortable with the salesperson who came to the house and the product seemed very good. Bruno has very good customer service. The stairlift is a nice and compact size. My wife is a large woman and she fits comfortably within it. There was no complexity to what needed to be done. It was all obvious when you pushed the lever. If you wanted to go down, you were pushing down towards the downstairs portion. Or if you're going up, you push towards the upstairs.
We check everything before going up and down. But her feet rest comfortably on this platform. We go up and it has a lever that you can have two different positions when you get up to the upstairs portion so that you can twist it partway around or all the way around. So that kept it comfortable. I liked it because when you're getting off the chair at the upstairs position, there was no fear of falling down the stairs because the chair was in a position that wouldn't allow the person to do that.
Also, the chair isn't intruding into our home. We have a split-level home. So we have two chair lifts, one for the upper section and one for the lower section. We pivot around on the platform connecting the two stairs midway, and it hasn't been in the way at all going up the stairs. We've adapted to it. It works fine. My wife knows all the different levers and there are not many of them at all.

Anybody can go up and down the stairs walking even with the stairlift installed. There's plenty of room. The installers used that side of the staircase railing. If I want to, I can fold up the stairlift. So it doesn't bother me at all. The mobility now is really helpful because I don't have to worry about the stairs.

I love the inside stairlift except the seat is a little wobbly on it and I'm always a little concerned. The dealer came down and worked on it, but it didn't help that much. It has a battery backup. If the electricity goes off, it switches over to battery.
The outside one is five steps for me to get into the house. We had to rebuild the deck, which is another deal. But after they installed it and you get on it and you ride up and down, you are fine, except that if electricity goes off and you're on the lift, you're stuck. They came down today and put a handle on the top of the outside lift. It has a little round, softer like steering wheel, that's about the size of a coffee can.
You turn that can and it moves one-sixteenth per revolution. To put this handle on, if electricity goes off, you have to manually take four bolts out of the top of the machine and insert this handle and then your lift will go up and down.I'm 84 years old. I have to have an Allen wrench on the chairlift and take the top of the machine and install the handle, if the electricity goes off or if the thing malfunctions.
I have mentioned this to the VA. They tell me that my dealer should have recommended a Bruno that had a battery backup. But my dealer recommended the wrong one.

We replaced our old Bruno which lasted for over 20 years with a new one. Bruno has always been good. The only problem is, obviously, that the spare parts were no longer available for the old chair, and we knew that we needed to eventually replace it. We have a man in our church that's pretty handy and he was able to swap out parts and keep the upper lift going as long as possible. But we knew we needed to replace it, so we went ahead and stuck with the same people.
The communication between the dealer and Bruno might be lacking. We had a special situation, We had a big question that needed to be answered, and no one really seemed to get a solid answer on it. The chairlift had serial numbers on it that were not registered with fire department. Now, in this area, it is require that you remove, condemn, and then replace. They need paperwork for that for a permit in the city where we are located.
There was some confusion on the permitting process, and a delay because of that. We never got a clear answer, and in fact, right down to the day of installation the two guys were asking to go through the paperwork with me and clarifying what their haul-off is. They suggested keeping the old one for parts, for itself which is better than them hauling off something that we might need. They weren't aware of any necessity for that, so we're all still assuming that a permit was not required, or at least haul-off was not required in the first place. I went ahead and completed it and sent it in to the project manager at Lifeway. They probably never heard back or found out if there's any condemning of a chair necessary.
So, we're good. I don't think the city even sent anybody out to look at it. And if they do, I'll just tell them what happened.
The installers were really good. They knew what they were doing and did a excellent job. They totally changed everything. The rail has different brackets, and so they had to remove the old rail and its brackets and install new ones, but they were really careful to try to cover up where they could on the carpet. They were gonna make new holes. They tried to make it as clean a removal as possible so that the carpet wasn't torn up. It looks good. You would really have to look close to notice that there was anything there.

Because of the size, we were sort of limited in that nature. One of the reasons they recommended this one was because it would fit and I could fit in it. We've been using it for a few days now. And accommodating the placement of my knee as we move up the staircase, it's been working fine. It's doing its job. We're happy with it.
