    I had my Bruno Independent Living Aids stairlift installed going into my basement into my washroom. It has a curve at the top. It's the first stairlift I ever had. Bruno showed me how to use it. It looks nice and neat. The stairlift has helped 50% of my life.

    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. At the bottom, his feet touch the ground perfectly, and he's able to get up easier. We love it.

    I love our Bruno stairlift. I didn't think I would like it. I'm somebody who doesn't want to just give up. Then all this year, I wanna get back on my feet with a walker and then back to my own gradual. Now, all the times I've made extra trips up and down the stairs to get things, I didn't have the massive pain shooting through my sciatica and my nerves, it's been awesome. One time, the stairlift had an issue with the motherboard. But they fixed it. It took a little while, but they had to get the parts from back east. But they called and they let us know what was going on. They did a great job. The stairlift changed my life. I'm very happy and thankful that I was blessed with this chair.

    My stairs are a little narrow, but the Bruno stairlift works. It's doing what it's supposed to do. However, it doesn't work for my family member. She's kind of shorter. That's the only downfall. Maybe if it were adjustable for height, that would be great. But it's not adjustable. It makes it a little difficult for her. The footrest doesn't help her at all. But the stairlift is a game-changer, definitely. She needs it.

    My sister has had the Bruno stairlift since 2012, and she's very satisfied with it, which was why I didn't go to Acorn. The salesman and the fellows who put in the stairlift were very good. I have one from the main floor going upstairs and another one from the main floor to the basement. Both are straight stairlifts and it’s convenient to have them.

    The Bruno stairlift is working. I thought that it was going to have a cover over the going up and going down buttons, but it doesn't. A couple of times, I have been trying to hold on. And at the same time, I would accidentally touch the going up and going down button. I wasn't intending to do either one. I was intending to get out of the stairlift, but I was not able to because it was moving. So I thought that the button was covered. I didn't realize it was so exposed to you. But it's certainly made my life more convenient. I'm able to go up and down the steps now without the fear that I had before.

    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!

    The installation was very clean, swift and easy. It took an hour and a half max. I like the quality of the Bruno stairlift. Very smooth, minimally invasive. I was surprised because I thought it would have been much longer. I went with Bruno for many things. First is the quality of the product. Second is the availability of local service. I live in a town in Pennsylvania and I was very fortunate that they have a local service partner called Paramount.

    I called Bruno and the offer sounded good. I got a straight stairlift and I absolutely love it. My only complaint is it's slow. It comes up the stairs a little faster than it goes down. If they had a second gear in it, I would love it. But I understand why it would be slow. It's a safety reason. They were a little bit more than a couple thousand dollars, but they were not out of line with the other ones. It has been worth every penny. I also have recommended it to a number of people.

    The stairlift was booked through a company that my sister used. Recently, I had my uncle move in who cannot also walk up steps. The reps from Bruno were very nice. We had two chairlifts since we have a split level.

    The guy sells brand-new and used ones. We got two brand-new ones but the motor in one of them sounds like a boat. It gets up and down but it's a loud kind of a clanky noise. I have to call the guy again but it's been busy ever since my uncle moved in. Other than that, we have the remotes and we can still use them. It was very impactful for my uncle in a positive way. We're having good luck with it. The lifts has a guarantee for the life.

    Our stairlift goes from the first floor to the second floor. Bruno’s made it easier and safer however we were surprised that the railing was so large because we always see those ads on TV with the little rails. But we're happy with it. The only thing is when I get to the second floor of my home, it's a little tight getting from the chair to the bedroom floor but it's no big deal. I wouldn't send it back because of that. I can get out real easy without even turning the chair to face the bedroom.

    When I walk up the stairs, I get out of breath. The Allegany Office on Aging purchased the Bruno stairlift for me. It fits fine. There's a very narrow place for someone to walk up the stairs if they want to, and it holds up to 300 pounds. Sometimes, the bottom part of the chair, when I turn it a little bit to get off of it at the top of the stairs, it squeaks a little bit. But it performs very well. It's made life easier for me, because I now can go up to the bathroom. I only have one and that's upstairs, and so is my bedroom and the room I have my computer in.

    I have a townhome and it has a straight staircase with about 17 stairs and a stairlift is something I need help for my family to climb for regular use especially for my wife. I was only in need of some basic model stairlift and don't need more features. I got quotes from different providers and they gave different prices. Finally, I was good to go with the quotation I got from Lifeway Mobility.

    Anita gave me a quotation honestly. She told me what the expense is and I can go with the finance options. I decided to go whatever Lifeway Mobility suggested which was a Bruno stairlift. The project manager was Katie and the person who came to do the installation was Eric. Everybody did a really wonderful job right. I was stuck with my identity verification for the financing and they helped me to sort out those problems.

    The stairlift only occupies about 6 inches from the wall side. In the first floor, there is the folding method we need because the ramp 15 inches on the floor. I hit my leg a couple of times when I walk over there, as well as my daughter, but we are good. I hope the bottom section can be foldable in the future. Bruno Stairlifts is extremely good. It is most suggestible for houses to occupy the less space and solving the purpose.

    I like the salesman from Alick's Home Medical. The product looked very good and safe, and it was what we wanted. The installer did a very good job, and installation was done very professionally. The stairlift takes up quite a bit of the stairs, though, but you can fold it up and get through. My biggest concern is if I were to move some furniture up or down the stairs.

    We don't use it as much as a lot of people would because we don't sleep upstairs, but we got stuff upstairs and the stairlift has made quite a difference for my wife.

We scheduled a time, the guy came and he seemed to know what he was doing.

    When it's working, it's great. It's broken twice. The first time, we called the company and they came four days later and fixed it. But this last time, I went to the site when the guy got there and explained to him that I'm not happy with the fact that the wire keeps popping out. He seemed more responsive than the first guy. They weren't really responsive with getting there right away because they service the whole Maryland site. If they could improve anything, it would be turnaround time for service.

    I like Bruno. There’s just one little glitch. 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.

    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.

    The Bruno stairlift is wonderful. I should have gotten it a long time ago. I'm a veteran and I always go to the veterans out clinic. They saw that I was getting weaker and weaker in my legs. I have 12 steps to my house and I can't get up the steps anymore. The installation of the stairlift was done with great care. Everything feels solid with no looseness. Before I had the stair lift, I was in great pain going up and down the steps. I was afraid I was gonna fall. I used to hold the banisters very tightly. Now, I don't have to worry about that anymore. I also get in the chair easily. When I'm in the chair, I just press a button, and it goes up. Plus, the stairlift manages the curved steps at my home beautifully.

    Bruno got down to business and did what they needed to do. They were really good. The quality of the stairlift seems very good. I use it every day a lot of times, and it's holding up, even though it's new. Bruno has some kind of warranty thing where I paid extra so they'll come out next year and tune it up.

    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 can put something on my lap when I go down or up. If I've got laundry, I can put it on my lap and go down the stairs and not have to worry.

Bruno's rep was very good. She was extremely patient with this 80-something-year-old buyer. The lift had to be the one that did that 360 so when the house buyer's wife got to the top, it rotated. The stairlift is for going from the basement to the main floor. It fits in the very wide staircase.

    We needed a way for my dad who is in a wheelchair into the house. For both the front and back of the house all the access is up or down the stairs. My wife and I did the research and decided on Bruno as it had better reviews.

    The install went very well. The guy was here for about three hours. He came to the back of the house, measured stairs just to double-check all the numbers, went back to his truck, made all the necessary cuts to the tracks to be the right size, came back, installed it. He demonstrated it for us, and explained all the features.

    We've only used it once for my dad, but it worked great. It's very solid and sturdy chair. The mechanism to pivot and the footrests, all work very well. The little lever to go up and down is conveniently placed. It's a good chairlift.

    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. And the VA will not change my lift for the outside. So, if I get trapped inside the house, power off or fire or the thing malfunctions, I'm just stuck.

    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.

    We had a company come out that is involved with helping get a house ready for somebody like me to come into it. We have two staircases. One is the straight shot, which is the one we got versus one that has a landing and a bend in it as it becomes custom and is a lot more expensive. So, we went with the straight shot. The Bruno stairlift was presented to us 'cause they also put in some bars and were helping us get ready for me coming out of the hospital into our house.

    The stairlift is a decent thing. We have a tight staircase. There's a section that's less than an inch clearance if knees aren't placed right. 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.

    The customer service has been very good. We've also recommended them to other groups for people needing such a thing in terms of their timeliness, thoroughness, and getting it done.

    In terms of sturdiness, the stairlift feels solid, so I don't have complaints about that aspect. However, I find the controls difficult to reach, and the footrest mechanism is not user-friendly. My old chair had a lever for the footrest, which was much more convenient than the current design, where I have to adjust it by hand.

    I initially rated this experience a 3 out of 5 due to the comfort issues, even though my old chair would have easily been a 5.

    It's a good chair. But I would never recommend their product to anybody after they pulled that with their emergency line. When the guy came out to fix it, he said, “Just so you know, if the chair ever acts up like that again, as long as you got the remote on you or somebody's there with the remote, the remote will work the chair, even though the chair itself, the handle thing won't work.”

    The salesperson was amazing. There was no pressure. He was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. When I asked about his expertise, not just because he was trying to sell me a product, which one was better than the other, he was honest with me. I just wanted to know what other feedback was. He indicated that there's less defects associated with Bruno. I've got a lot on my plate and I don't need something to go wrong.

    Installation was amazing. I was home and the gentlemen were very efficient, quick. It's great. I love the safety features. I had occupational and physical therapists assisting my husband for the first time on the chairlift.. We were learning at the same time. The chair would beep for a certain reason and I told them that something wasn't right. And we were able to figure out what that was and take care of it.

    It fit perfectly. I didn't have to change the integrity of the stairwell. I didn't have to remove the railing which was another reason why I went with Bruno.

    The Bruno stairlift is perfect. It's a lifesaver. I'm no longer a prisoner in the upstairs part of my home. I couldn't get downstairs and now, I can move around with ease through the house and it's wonderful.

    I’ve had it for several weeks now. It's for the main house. It's a bi-level home. It goes upstairs, into the main part of the house. The stairlift comes in from the lower entrance, from the garage, into the family room. Then it goes upstairs. It has all the bells and whistles that I can ask for, with all the safety devices. It's just terrific.

    The installers were really very efficient. They put the stairlift in within a matter of about 5 hours. And they were very professional, polite, and neat. They cleaned up after themselves.

    I bought a used Bruno stair lift before I bought this last one. I installed it myself and hit the circuit board. With that, the stair lift went out, so I got another from Bruno. The installation by their team took a while. During the installation, they put some sort of support on it, and it was not working out. So I took a video of what it’s doing, and sent it to Bruno. They had to come back and redo it, and it took them a few times to get it right.

    The new stair lift is built pretty good, but to me, it's not as sturdy as the old one. I liked the stability of the chair of my old stair lift. Also, the new one costs a whole lot more. I paid $300 six years ago for the first one and $4,100 for the second one. Overall, I'd recommend Bruno. Other brands made more noise than a threshing machine. They tried to get us to buy something else, but we did not like that at all.

    I was going through another rep, and I found out they were crooked and doing things underhanded. I didn't do well with it. I talked to another person, and they recommended Bruno. So I called the representative from Bruno and basically told him, “Look. This is what I got. I'm a pilot. I'm out of town. I know what I want. I just need someone to come out here and measure it, take a look at it.”

    He gave me the down-low on everything, especially where I thought that I could get breaks and deals on. He laid it out. “Listen, we can't do that. It's against the law for us to do that,” whereas this other company was doing that and still charging me as much. I went with Bruno after talking to this guy. They were very upfront about everything and told me how it would go. I said let's make it happen, and it happened.

    My son was there for the install. It took about two hours and was very uneventful. The guy was very nice and it went very smoothly. My mom's been using the stairlift, and she's very happy with it. I like what I see and the stairlift serves the purpose very well. It was worth the money that I thought I could have saved by going with another company. I bought the straight indoor stairlift for my mom, but it makes life easier for me.

    My husband cannot walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath and uncomfortable for about 15 minutes. We chose to put in the stairlift as opposed to moving and it’s really good for my husband. It helps him a lot. It’s manufactured in the US too, which is extremely important. I'd recommend Bruno. They also have the best warranty and they’ve got a 5-star reputation.

    I'm not quite sure how to work the railing, though. It’s motorized, and it comes all the way down to the ground and it could stay there as opposed to going up and down every time you go. Every time you go up, the rail goes up and it sounds like a piece of construction is beeping loudly. Every time you go down, it makes the same noise. There's a way to keep it in position and not have it move but it gets in the way so people want to move it out from the floor. When you want to leave it stationary because no one's coming over for a while and you don't wanna hear the beeping sound, I haven't figured out how to do that yet. That is very annoying. If they could get rid of beeping sound, then it would be perfect. I don't know a way to soften it and they didn't tell us that it was gonna be like that when we bought this. The other thing is they told us that if we wanna leave it in one position so we're not dealing with the stairlift going up and down all the time, to click this red button. It doesn't work, though. It still keeps going.

    The VA purchased a stair lift from Bruno Independent Living Aids for my father-in-law. Both technicians who came for the installation were absolutely fantastic. Mike, the older gentleman, did the initial measurements, and explained to me exactly what he was doing from start to finish. He was the most thorough and super informative.

    The quality of the lift is great. However, it does come out a little bit wide, and we figured it out when the technicians were here because they were even questioning how wide it was coming out. Since it's a curved stairlift, and one of the posts at the 90-degree angle is larger, the stairlift sticks out further into the walking path going up and down the stairs to leave room for clearance. Also, we can't fold the chair up so we have to squeeze through to get past it at the top. But that's just a design flaw in the house, not a design flaw with the chair itself. It's just the top of the staircase is a little bit narrow.

    With the Bruno stair lift, my father-in-law is able to get up and down the stairs without the risk of falling. He's still struggling to learn how to use it properly, but it's working. It's just a learning curve for him.

They chose from the three bids, and they are the ones that got in touch with these people. I got to choose only the electrician, and I had to call one. An electrician came out here, worked on the electrical wiring, and gave me a bill for it. Bruno Independent Living Aids continued the work from there, and did a great job installing the stair lift. The stair lift is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. It has excellent quality, and helps us in a lot more ways than one. I can get in the chair, my wife can hand me the bags, and we can take them to the upper level. It helps tremendously.

    We didn’t have anything to do with the price of it except paying $450 out of pocket for the electrician, which I shouldn’t have had. It should have been the VA.

We’ll install that ourselves. Other than that, we have no problem with the stairlift. Everything looks fine and we really enjoy it.

    The stairlift is supposed to hold up to 400 pounds. My husband weighs a little over 300, so it’s sufficient for him. I weigh about 145. I don’t use it every day, maybe once a day or every other day.

    The steps on our stairway are only a half‑step, not as wide as they normally should be. The installer had about a size‑13 shoe and his foot didn’t fit on the step. It was hanging off the end. He said, “No wonder you want it.” So, it’s really a blessing. I believe we’re going to get a lot of good use out of the chairlift.

    Bruno did an excellent job. The man who came to put in the electrical plug worked really well and really fast. You’d never know it wasn’t originally there because it blended right in. And my husband said the chair color actually matches the wall paint. I wish we’d done it years ago.

    The stairlift goes to the top of the steps and has to rotate for her to get onto the landing. She can push the button to unlock it, but she can’t physically rotate the chair herself. A control panel in the arm with a simple button she could press to rotate the chair would be fantastic.

    Right now, she can ride it up, but she has to wait for someone to turn the chair at the top and again at the bottom. If she could rotate it on her own, she’d be fully independent. She still depends on us to use it.

    The Bruno sales person came out and did about a 10 to 15 minute presentation explaining the stairlift to me. They made me real informed about it. When it was installed inside the house, it took about two to three hours to complete. It goes straight up and down and beeps when it gets to the top and the bottom.

    The only thing is my hallway ain’t that wide, so I have to sit sideways and go up and down the steps. But that’s no problem.

    The stairlift helps a lot. I’m staying in my home and I got no intent on leaving. I had a good experience with Bruno. They’re worth it.

    I had my sister move in with us and we had some stairs to get to her room. So we had to install a stairlift. We searched around and looked at different models and makes and Bruno made the most sense for what I heard as far as reliability and the ability to get repairs if needed.

    The Bruno sales rep did a good job. I had probably three or four companies show up and the one I for sure didn't go with did the worst job. But the other three did all did really good jobs and it became a matter of price and backing and what they had in the area as far as service.

    The Bruno Stairlift worked fine, but it was noisy. And we had to have the whole bottom replaced and it was bad. It was under warranty. The stairlift was still working, but you could tell something was really wrong. So they replaced the whole bottom end of it, the motor and the batteries. They just shipped a whole new section. And once we got that in, it ran quietly and it's worked just fine.

    In terms of price to quality comparison and Bruno was the most reasonably priced, they had good reviews for functionality and it remained working. It had the price and quality that we really needed. It was just a straight shot. There were no curved stairs. There wasn't anything fancy. So we got the intermediate model.

    We had a wide staircase that went straight up. It was an extra wide staircase and this was just the ideal situation as a straight rail. They could put the rail right on the floor and we had plenty of room to get by and it folds up if we need to. But it worked out well.

    Although it shouldn't have worn out within eight months that we had to have it replaced, the stairlifts was the only way that made it possible for us to have her come move in with us. And she's very happy with it.

    The stairlift is for older people in the church who would prefer using it rather than navigating the stairs. The cost was competitive, and it performs as expected. We’re satisfied with it.

    Everyone Bruno has sent out has been very professional and a good representative of the company. My only outstanding issue is I’m still waiting to get the permit approval, and Bruno is waiting for the city inspectors to follow up.

    We got multiple quotes from different companies but decided to go with Bruno. It’s a more robust‑looking system and looks better engineered, with those hydroformed aluminum or steel rails.

    We have a family member that has trouble going down the stairs. I called Bruno first and then also looked into Acorn and another company. Bruno was by far the most expensive, but their representative sounded the most informed, especially about our curved staircase, so we ended up going with them.

    The chair is lovely and does the job. I’m using it for all kinds of things, like sending stuff upstairs and downstairs. I’m very happy with the product so far. The technicians were okay, and when I called Bruno direct in Wisconsin, they were very nice.

    The only thing I would suggest is including a simple pamphlet. They give you a booklet with specifications for the install, but not something directly explaining how to use it. For example, I didn’t know the chair can swivel. My husband discovered that. They should include something that says, “Pull this lever and the chair is going to swivel.”

    We did have a little hiccup when the power was out for four hours. During that time, the chair kept beeping and then it started to talk and tell me that, "You need to charge the battery.” Once the power came back, it worked fine. I would just like to know how long it can operate without power before the battery runs down completely.

    I have been trying five years to get this thing. With the stairlift I can breathe again when I get to the top. Before, I had to sit down. And not only that, I had to run to the bathroom as soon as I got to the top. So, having it affected me quite a bit. The installer was nice and he worked hard. He did not explain too much because he was busy, but when he got through, he told me a few things. The only problem I have is that I have narrow stairs, and the rest of the people in the house has to go around it. It is hard to squeeze by, and it is less than half of the distance on the stairlift. Still, overall, Bruno’s service was good.

    I use the stairlift quite often, and it works well. There are times when I can’t walk at all because of lower back pain. The bottom feels a little loose, but it still gets past that. The screws might be loose.

    The stairlift doesn’t have a curved bottom. It’s the one where a two‑foot section comes out, goes over, and then comes down. I think it was the $3,000 model.

    One guy came out, and he was really nice. He’s the one who installed it. He said it would take a couple of hours, but it ended up being more like four. We didn’t mind, though. I only dealt with him, and everything went great.

    I checked for stairlifts online and Bruno came up first. I liked that they manufacture their stairlifts in Wisconsin. Since I’m in Chicago, I felt better knowing the company is nearby.

    I looked up prices online and saw they ranged from $3,500 to $4,500 for a straight stairlift with no curve. When Bruno told me the price was $3,950, that was perfect. Everything I read about the stairlift showed it had everything I needed. I said, “Okay, do it. It only took about four hours to install. Our stairlift is straight up and down and very quiet, not a single noise.

    The stairlift’s safety features work perfectly. When we come upstairs, we unlock the chair, turn it, and move into position. But if it’s not locked back in place, the chair won’t move. That’s the safety feature. Once it locks, it works exactly the way it should. I like that.

    The only issue is the seatbelt. To secure yourself in, you have to pull it all the way out straight, and that’s a bit of a problem. But we don’t use the safety belt, so we don't mind.

    On the very first day, it wouldn't start. I called the installer, and he answered immediately and told me what to do. It wouldn't start because it wasn’t locked. They’re good people. Other than that, I’ve never called them because I haven’t needed to.

    The Bruno representative showed me everything during the presentation. The main structure inside the stairlift has a lifetime warranty, like the brakes, rollers, and the motor. The battery has a five‑year warranty, even though the batteries only cost about $50. There’s also a one‑year labor warranty. But I don’t think anything will go wrong. So, no problem. I'm satisfied.

    The Bruno Stairlift was primarily purchased for my wife and it had nothing but a positive effect on her life. I use it occasionally, but she uses it daily.

    We've had it for over a year and the experience with the dealer has been absolutely wonderful. They were on time with their delivery. They did a very neat job with their installation. We developed a little bit of a problem a few months back where the motor was making a noise and they came out and they replaced the brushes and that didn't really solve the problem. So Bruno authorized the installation of a whole new motor, an updated version that doesn't even have the brushes that the first one had.

    They had to make sure that the dealer had done all of the things that Bruno was recommending they do before they agreed to replace the system in full. But once they were satisfied that everything that could be done had been done, they made no arguments and sent a complete replacement motor. Everything but the seat and the arms was changed out. Everything that the dealer did, they were doing in direct contact with Bruno. I'm very fond of them.

    I was disappointed with the Bruno representative. They were very good when they first got here, but they led me to believe the stairlift would be installed within about two months of their first visit. Then a month after taking an $8,000 deposit from me, they called and said they were only just starting the process. It would take another three months from that point.

    They were very efficient during the installation. We had the stairs built an extra four feet wide so the lift wouldn’t interfere. I don’t really need the stairlift yet, but it works fine. It’s very smooth and dependable.

    What I did was ask my neighbors. Some told me which brands not to get, and Bruno wasn’t among them. Other than that, I called Lang Medical. I think Lang has a very good reputation, and I went with what they carry. Bruno was their recommendation and what they installed.

    The quality seems fine. I’m actually considering getting a custom one that wraps around to make it easier for my husband to get on and off. It’s for him. Maybe if you make those too, then I’d stay with your brand. We just didn’t have that option at the time because he was coming home and we needed one installed right away. But I have no complaints about the product at all.

    It’s a good product and it’s serving its purpose for us. I think my husband is more debilitated getting in and out of it than I expected. That’s why I think we need one that wraps all the way to the bottom of the stairs.

    My husband’s mind is still working just fine. He was an engineer, so he looks over the whole thing and understands it better. He’s okay with everything.

    I don’t like having a stairlift because of what it implies, and I definitely don’t like what it’s done to the décor of the house. But it’s allowed us to stay in our home. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to. So, it’s fabulously effective.

    I did a Google search on stairlifts and found Lifeway Mobility, one of Bruno’s distributors in Chicago. When we visited them, Bruno was one of the brands they sold, and it was the one they had in the showroom to demonstrate. We thought it looked like a good solution.

    The guy came to my house, but there was a little snafu. They told me someone would come out, but on the day of the appointment, I waited three and a half hours for them. I finally called, and they said I wasn’t on the calendar.

    The guy rearranged his schedule and still came the same day. He was very pleasant and very informative, and he went over everything thoroughly.

    The stairlift works fine for our purposes. We got the model one level up from the bottom. I think it’s the Bruno Elite. Everything functions the way it’s supposed to. It’s nice and smooth going up and down. I took off the stairway railing because they said it would give me an extra three or four inches of clearance.

    It’s a decent‑size stairwell, so it fits well. The stairlift stays out of the way. When it’s at the top or bottom, you can use the stairway without any problem. It fits nicely in the space, and you don’t feel like you have to squeeze around it.

    We installed the stairlift in anticipation of my mother moving in because she has mobility issues, but she hasn’t moved in yet. My kids, who are in their late 20s, have used it a couple of times. I tested it myself, and it works very smoothly. You could say it’s slow, but it’s not supposed to be fast.

    It’s giving my mother access to the upstairs, where the only showers and the laundry facilities are. The alternative to this $6,000 stairlift was a $30,000 first‑floor bathroom renovation, so it made a huge financial difference.

    It’s also going to allow my mom to be more independent. When she wants to take a shower or do laundry, she’ll be able to do it on her own. So, it’s really going to help her.
