I have a three-story house and I got them to put the stairlift from the second to the third-floor thinking, "Well, we can add the other one later." But it didn't work out like that. My wife ended up bedridden for the most part. I called them and they put it in two days later for me. So, I could get her home from the hospital and get her up the steps using the chairlift. The people that put it in and also the people I talked to on the phone were great. As soon as I called them, they were out in two days and had it in and done. Also, the price was more than fair.

I like that the Bruno stair lift is Wisconsin-made. I'm supporting a local business. I got the stair lift for a loved one. They haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but they will as we get close to the holidays. The Bruno rep was very helpful and treated me well. The installers did a great job. They were careful keeping my house clean and did a great job of installation. They cleaned up when they left. Jim from Rapid Rehab and his colleague were very cordial and kind. We had a nice conversation while they were at my house, but they were down to business. I didn't interrupt them too much. I just asked and answered questions as needed. They got to work, got it done, and showed me how everything worked and let me go on my day and they got on with theirs. The stairlift is more than I had hoped.

I've had our Bruno stairlift a couple of weeks and so far, so good. It works great. I got three estimates as well and the other two were a little cheaper. However, Bruno mentioned, was I influenced that it's made in America? And that was my deciding factor. The other two were made in England, and I was concerned about getting replacement parts. The installer of Bruno was also great. He was a nice, young man. He explained everything, went over how it operates and all the safety features. When he got all done, I said, "I lost my phone in the house today. Can you help me find it?" He did it on the computer and he found it.

We contacted another company but they never got back with us. On the other hand, Bruno got back with us right away, and that was a big factor in getting a lift. I also love that the stairlift is made in the US. It's very important to me. Bruno was good about coming out here the next day and putting the stairlift in very quickly. It goes from the foyer part of the house up to upstairs where there's a bedroom, and it's great. I only have one problem with it. When it gets up the stairs, it feels like it's leaning downward to the left a little. It's always done that, and they never said anything about it doing that, so I just assumed that's the way it was made. Outside of that, I have no problems with it, and it's definitely changed my life. Bruno has helped me tremendously because I've been having trouble with my knee.

My husband was getting out of the hospital and couldn't go up the stairs. I needed the stairlift installed right away. I looked online and Bruno has a nice website that tells a lot of things about the stairlift. I called on a Friday and then a young man came on Monday and told me all about the stairlift. Everything went smoothly with the installation. The installers came on a real timely basis and told me all about it a little bit more. I'm very happy. The stairlift looks and works good. I'd recommend Bruno highly.

The reps did everything and were here two at the most. They walked us through everything and how to use the stairlift. It's a very good quality. It goes straight up and down. We didn't have any help from the VA though. You gotta pay what you gotta pay. If you need a good piece of equipment, you're gonna pay for it.

We purchased 2 Bruno stairlifts back in September of 2024. Overall, it's a very effective system. We have a safety concern that we believe needs to be addressed, we had the distributor that sold and installed the product out, and they agreed there was an issue, but at that point, they said they were not able to correct the problem. We've called the company and left numerous messages, yet no callback. Based on the lack of response we also have written the Better Business Bureau hoping that they will be able to get some type of response back from Bruno, but no response via this method either. You would think a company would take safety concerns very seriously, but Bruno does not!
What I find interesting is that either the company is too busy with other complaints or concerns, they don't return calls, or they just don't care. Either one of those models is very concerning, and at this point, I would not recommend a Bruno system to anyone because what you need is service. If this is what they consider to be service, particularly in an issue that I believe is a safety concern, I would hope they would call you back immediately. A company is only as good as its follow-up; at this point, Bruno gets an F.

Bruno Independent Living Aids was the one that gave me a quote right away and was able to get more information to us. The stairlift works for what we needed it and my mom got it quick. It looks good. My mom can now get in and out of her house. She lived somewhere else until we got the chairlift in there. She moved back in.

The Bruno wheelchair seemed like the best to fit my needs. I took my car there one day and picked it up there late that afternoon, and that was all mounted. It was quick and easy. When I wanna get stuff out of the back of it, I just got to lift one handle. It's been wonderful. It helps me to get around easily. It helps me in shopping centers and with walking with my wife down the street or down the block.

I'm having issues with balance, and it became a little more dangerous for me to possibly fall down the stairs. So, I became interested in a stairlift. Bruno did a great job. They did it quickly and they did an excellent job, so we’re well-pleased with them. I'm certainly more than satisfied with what I have. It goes one flight, just up and down. I'm very comfortable with the quality of the chair. It works very well.

I feel fairly safe with the stairlift. But where you rest your feet when you're going up and down, it's a little difficult for me because of my long legs. My stairs could be a little wider but for what I have as far as stairs, it's very good.

I purchased a stairlift from Bruno because my wife had a stroke about nine years ago and it affected her balance and she’s having trouble getting up and down the stairs. It's been working perfectly fine. It’s very, very rugged and nicely constructed. It took well over eight weeks from the time we ordered it until the time that the installation took place. So the delivery was an issue. The people told me they have to weld everything from scratch, and that's what takes them so long. But having to wait that long is not very good customer service.

I got a lift for the back of my pickup. I carried my pickup and the chair to Bruno, and they put it on. It's not the easiest in the world to get the chair on and off. But the lift itself is good. It does what it's supposed to do.

Bruno's rep was easy to get ahold of. We have one little problem with the power. The other one won't stay up, and I contacted him. I got no problem. He's coming out. The overall quality of the lift seems really good. We bought it for my husband who had COPD and unfortunately, he passed away a week ago today. He loved it. It made it easier when he did have to leave the house because we have just a few stairs to get into our condo on the inside. He enjoyed it. Once he got up, his breathing was fine. So, he didn't get to use it as much, but he did like it.
Overall, the people from Bruno were very pleasant. They did great work. He had to move the hand rails. He didn't charge us for that. They cleaned up. I've recommended it to our health care provider. He had a visiting nurse coming in, and they wanted to know who we had gotten those steps for because they do get people asking them.

Bruno's reps were all very polite. Right now, the stairlift is a little help. We're not that immobile, but I got it for down the road. I'm sure our health will deteriorate down the road. So, it's there if I need it. One of the reasons I purchased it is because we do have stairs to get into the house and it was cheaper than buying a new home. As a tool maker and machinist all my life, the quality of the lift looks good mechanically and, physically, it also looks good. The salesman was very polite and informative and the installer did a fine job and did it quickly.

I chose Bruno because I also looked at Acorn and thought Bruno was better. It works fine going up and down. I liked the railing and the way the chair was enclosed. Also, I'm pleased with the amount of space that it takes up. It makes it easy for my wife to be on both ends of the floor with all our bedrooms upstairs. She would stay up all day or stay down all day before.

The stairlift works fine. My mom could not get out of the house without it. I got two seats. The one upstairs kept falling. It scared me too. It would be loud and out of the blue. I called Bruno Independent Living Aids and it ended up not being anything much. The seat belt was in the way and all the guy had to do was move the seat belt. I wish I figured that out. It was a bit embarrassing for me.
When I tried to call, I was annoyed. I didn't understand why Bruno didn't check it before they left. Instead of their customer service saying, "We'll get right out there," the woman was rude. She was very short with me. She said, "Are you complaining?" She talked to me weirdly. I said, "I'm actually not complaining, but I'm trying to communicate something to you. Are you the boss?" She said she was. I said, "I just figured you would want to know that." I said goodbye and hung up. She ended up calling me back a little later apologizing, but it was weird. Everything has been fine other than that.

I went to an independent contractor to install two different stairlifts. He gave us a bit of a discount on the second one. The Bruno stairlift has made a huge difference. I'm 60 years old and going up and down the stairs with an artificial leg is nearly impossible for me. The stairlift allows me to use my basement and my upstairs, which I would have a hard time doing otherwise.
The lift is really good. Bruno has the reputation of being better and stronger, and it has the heavy-duty weight stairlift which we got. We have this automatic rail at the bottom that lifts up so it doesn't stay down and other people in the home don't trip over it 'cause it extends out past the stairs on the bottom. The only problem with it is where it joins the rail, sometimes the lift doesn't go over that very well. It's a real bad jolt and sometimes the lift gets stuck on it. A lot of times what I'll have to do is put my feet down on the stair, push up with my back and lean back to bend. If I push back on it or try to lift some weight off it, it'll line back up. You got a bracket every third stair on the main rail. Then on that flexible rail, there's no bracket because you can't have a bracket to extend. It's just got this thing at the bottom of these adjustment screws and those adjustment screws aren't strong enough to keep it from flexing at the joint area.
When you're sitting in the stairlift and you're down on the section, it flexes too much. You can see it. I'm a big person and I can feel it flex a little bit when I sit on it. When it's down on that section, you can feel the extended section lean forward even more. It doesn't have enough support on its own because it's a separate section. Towards the bottom extending off from the rail, if they had a bracket down on it that it settled into, it might hold it there better.
The people that installed it have been on here three times to adjust it and they've done it for free. But even when they sit on it and they're lighter, they have the same problem with it sometimes. It's working fairly well now since the last adjustment but it's still rough. Bruno needs to improve that rail technology. Where our stairs end, it's a narrow walkway. There's no room for people to walk around it that's why I want the folding lift. I'm glad that they made it but it doesn't work as well as I would like. But other than that, I'm happy with it.

I went online to see what Bruno had available and then, I called 101 Mobility. I told the rep that I saw the Bruno stairlift that my son and I like and he showed it to me. Then, we contacted the VA. They had the company come out and show us the Harmar. I insisted with assistance from others that we get the Bruno because it was ranked number one. The mobility of it, the way it looked on the stairs was much more attractive than the other one. I just like Bruno overall, mainly for the appearance and the rating. The installation didn’t take very long. But there are some screws on it and the screws stick up. And there are grooves left on the screws. The installers said that it’s fine like it is but those screws are too long. Clothing or the hand can get caught on the screw. I've called the company and left messages, but I haven't gotten a return call back.
The footrest should be a little bit sturdier because I've caught my son, when he’s upstairs, getting off the stairlift sideways. And he's stepping on that stand, which is not stable enough to be holding his weight. I told him even this morning that he could not be standing up sideways in the chair and getting off of it like that. And when he's standing up on the side of the stairs, he's standing up on that footrest. And there's no room because I don't have a wide staircase. I'm repeating it all the time to him but he's still doing it when I'm not looking. And when I look, I see that he's doing that.

I went to VA over in Evansville and it was shared with me that Bruno had a stairlift. Then, VA sent two contractors out to decide which one is gonna put it in. The installation was wonderful and I appreciated what the installers did. I feel safer in going up and down the steps because those are half steps and when I step down, my heel would always hit the back of the next step and I had to hang on. I didn't have very much strength in my arms that if I did fall, I probably couldn't hold myself up. I like that I can go up and down using the stairlift and the way it comes up the steps. The installers showed me how I could turn the seat around and where I could feel secure without getting right up on the steps. I can get right up at the level of the floor and turn it back around and sort of pull the handles, the seat and the bottom part up to keep it safe for anybody who's walking up and down the steps.

I picked Arrow Lift who carries Bruno as I wanted to deal with a company who's close by me. The sales rep was very nice to deal with. There was no high pitch dealing and no pressure. He was an honest to goodness man. I am lucky the stairlift fits perfectly. It's a straight up shot to the front door, and so far, it's very good. My daughter lives with me and she was very scared that I was gonna fall down the concrete steps. This Bruno stairlift helps me so that I won't.

Bruno installed the chair on a vehicle that I already have. It took a day and a half and they said that was how long they were taking it. But they did what they said they were gonna do. It was excellent. I'm getting another wheelchair for my work truck. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it because it was almost $6,000. It's kind of expensive for what it is. But people in wheelchairs don't have an option. Paying that price is a small price to pay to get more independent. So, I didn't mind.

My Bruno stairlift impacted my life in a tremendously positive way. I have a straight one with several safety features. I've only had it for 10 days. I don't use the stairs at all, and I'm able to do a lot more in life around my yard and everything because I'm not climbing stairs at all. So, my knees are doing wonderfully. It's beyond belief. The stairlift is rated for 300 pounds. My wood stove is upstairs. I have a loft. I'm in Alaska and I've been carrying firewood up to my wood stove twice a day for three years now. And now, I just set it on my lap, go upstairs, and it's unbelievable. As far as the installer, he was wonderful. He left my place spotless and took all the trash with him. It was, overall, a 100% great experience.

I had a stroke and I was having a little trouble getting up and down the stairs. I called Bruno and the rep gave me a quote over the phone and I accepted it and they came the next Monday and put it in. My stairway is a little narrow for it, but we make it work. It does the purpose of what I wanted it for. I have a problem with it, though. When it's parked up on the top, it beeps quite a bit. But if I park it partway down, then it doesn't seem to. It runs a cycle and then it stops for a while and then it comes on again and beeps again. I called them and they said because I didn't park the seats the way it goes down. I started doing that. But it still does it at times, not all the time, but sometimes.

I have a two-story home, and I have two kids with special needs that are in wheelchairs and they cannot move. I heard about Bruno through a friend who has a child with special needs. She installed one in her house and she told me about it. I researched and looked for it. The sales visit with Bruno was good. It took me a while before I could save some money because it was very expensive. But he was very courteous and nice. I wish I could have got a better price, though. He explained to me how to put it back on when it's supposed to be down to be recharging. Also, whenever I put my son in, and how to push him to go up, how to bring him down, keep the battery charged. It performs really well so far.

I had to purchase a chair lift because climbing the stairs is a bit of a feat with my physical condition, and I had a great salesperson, Blair. He was very professional, considering what I had to put up with with another chair lift company. Because it was a county, I had to do three estimates. They went with a different company, which was a total disaster. They went with a lower estimate until I called and told them I was totally dissatisfied with them. They kept bringing me a chair that didn't work, and two of the companies were totally unprofessional.
When I finally got the chair that I wanted, I got it from Bruno. They were the one I originally wanted to do business with, and I absolutely love the chair lift. The person that installed it, Ezra, was very professional. He did a beautiful job in installing it, and if I ever have to have services, I'd like him to come out because he did such a great job. Bruno is top of the line. My daughter is a nurse at Lakeview, and one of the nurses said she needs to get a chair lift for her husband and my daughter said, “Go with Bruno.”

Installation was great. The unit was up and running within about 45 minutes to an hour. The only issue I ever had with the chair is one of the little plastic things on the lever, on the right hand inside of the chair, came off almost immediately. I don't know whether it didn’t get tightened up at the factory, but that didn't affect any of the operation and it's not inconvenient. It's a plastic tab on the metal piece and I don't know why it was on there, other than to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
I like the chair. I can come up and down the stairs. It used to be, when I went downstairs, I'd be downstairs for the day 'cause I did not like climbing up. So, if I missed anything that was supposed to go downstairs with me, before then, I wouldn't come back up and get it. I'd see if I can get somebody else to get it for me. Now, I climb up three steps, which I gotta do anyway, and get on the chair, zip right up to the second level and get what I want then zip right back down. It's great. I love it. Overall, I'd recommend Bruno to anybody, and the installers, too.

We purchased a stairlift, and installation was very easy. Our stairway goes straight up, and the fellow said, "No problems here." We did not have any curvature. The fellow was here about an hour and 20 minutes, and he put the stairlift in, did a demonstration and answered questions. We're very happy with our stairlift and it certainly makes life easier. There's two of us here. My husband and I are both in our 90s and we're still capable of walking the stairs, but too tired. We have 12 stairs and the stairlift helps near the end of the day. We are also doing it as a precautionary measure. The word our daughters used to encourage us with is "proactive." Overall, I would recommend Bruno. We're satisfied and certainly would suggest that it should work well for others, but of course, each situation is different. Ours seems to be standard though. The stairlift has arms and a safety strap, which we haven't felt the need to use.

Bruno was recommended by Manns Drug Store and I dealt with them before. However, there was trouble in the beginning. The stairlift was beeping in the middle of the night, and we didn't know why it was beeping. Then it slowed down. I called the guy that installed it, and he said that he put it on the switch. When you turn the switch on and off to work the light because the light was on that switch too, the battery was being drained because it wasn't being charged.

The two gentlemen who were here were very accommodating. Once the stairlift was installed, the installers found some problems internally. So, they had to come back and replace some parts and then, they realized those parts weren't the correct ones. When they talked to somebody back at their home office, they said it sounded like they were gonna have to replace the chair itself. And they did. That remedied the problem and it seems to be running fine. They were nice young men. So, there were no problems. Bruno is a little more expensive but it's worth it. It's well-made and I like that it's made right here in the US over in Wisconsin.

Bruno is amazing. The stairlift is really nice. It's clean. It could have been a little faster going upstairs. It takes a little too long, but it's really good. We like it. We have big stairs. There's a lot of room there. So, for my stairs, it fits well. The stairlift is for my mom. She was in a stage where she cannot take the stairs, and it really helped her a lot. She likes it, but she has one complaint that when we go upstairs and when we land, it stops on the last step. So, when you get down from that, you have to turn around. Not everybody can reach down of the chair to pull that thing down and rotate it and then get down on the landing. Maybe if there's something more robotic, that would have been nice.

The stairlift fits the best it can. With the size of the staircase that I have going to the second floor, they measured out what they could put in that space. The space was able to accommodate the curved lift that they put in there. So far, the stairlift has been good. I've had a good experience with the staff as well. The only thing was I'd spoken with the guy that it's a little close on the one side of the railings facing where my feet are when I'm in the chair. But he was saying that with where the wall ends, they have it as close as they could with the space that we had.

The Bruno stairlift has made me more confident leaving my husband at home to navigate the stairs. We have it inside the house and one of the reasons that we got was that, in the event that my husband absolutely has to rely on it, he can still stay at home. So far, we haven't had any issues with it malfunctioning or breaking. It holds his weight and it's got the safety features to let us know whether it's in the proper placement before he uses it. The folks that installed it did an incredible job when they came out and talked to us about the stairlift. They gave us some options and made their recommendations.

The stairlift is slow, but good. It was made that way. I have a small stair and not that wide. So, it's a small stairlift also. I can still go through without using it. And sometimes I go downstairs and pick up something and put it on the stairlift and do the remote control. It would go up and I go upstairs.

The old stairlift worked fine for 25 years and it’s still working but whoever put it in didn't install it right. My mother is 90 now so it got to where it was hard for her to get up out of the chair at the top. The guy that we got the other one from said it's not going up far enough so the chair is not getting high enough at the top. It's supposed to be a certain height at the top to make it easy to step out of and it wasn't. He said he would see if he could find a rail and extend it up but he couldn't find any and that kind of rail was not being made anymore. So, we had to replace it.
The replacement is straight and much sleeker than the other stairlift and it doesn't take up as much room in the stairs. My mother can step out of it much easier and she’s higher so she doesn’t have to pull herself up so low. She's not sitting so low. So, it worked out great. With the old one, you had to have it either at the top or the bottom for it to charge, and with this new one, you don't have to. It could be anywhere on it. When she was in rehab at one time, for some reason, it got pushed off of the charger just a little bit and when she finally came home, we started using it and it wouldn't work. So we had to get a new battery for everything. This one will stay charged and that's one good thing. The Bruno stairlift works and it does what we want it to do.
The stairlift that was put in in ’99 was about the same money as this one so I was very pleased. I was expecting a lot more when I asked what a new one would cost. So, that helped me decide to do it.

The rails, whatever you call the thingy that it rides on, we thought upstairs it would start a little bit higher than at the bottom. But it ended too soon. We would get off across the wall. It is a little bit challenging sometimes. We thought it was going to go further. Using it is fine as far as the machines and the chairs and little mechanisms. But, using it is not fine, but part of that problem is the house. We wanted it to go down and stop in the foyer. I couldn't get out of it because it was too high. They're trying to figure out something and do something. But I don't know how they can because if you're going up or down, you got stairs in the way. It was at least a good foot between the chair and the floor. And we were going to jump. The guy from the office was here looking and he said, "No, don't dare do that. You could break an ankle." I said, "I don't want to do that."
Others should make sure that they understand where you're coming from and how far you want it to go and not go. You can't put a stair thing in that's 40-inch wide in a 36-inch stair. I stretched the measurement so it would make it easy for them to get in right away. The chair is not that far. I'm sure my husband is strong. He has long legs. For him, it works better in some areas because he can use his long legs. But when you're going down the downstairs staircase, the railing is in the way. Right away, the guy said, "We're gonna have to move that handrail down there."
I assume it's been in here since the house was built and they were built back in the late '60s. I said, "I am not starting to move handrails in a house this old..." Then the next thing was they were repairing the walls and that was a no. They did the best they could. But in order to go down the downstairs stairs, we have to spread our legs like when you're too close to something and you put one knee one way and one knee the other way. Even me as short as I am.

They did a custom spiral thing and the overall quality is excellent. It's very clean-looking and durable.

The Bruno stairlift is working out well. It looks like it is supposed to look like, and the quality seems good. I would recommend Bruno. The rep who came had some brochures and she told me how the stairlift worked and how much it would cost and that was all I needed. It was very clear and simple how it worked and the price was okay. The presentation answered everything I needed. They told me they scheduled an installation date. So, I knew ahead of time what was going on. It was very well done.

The Bruno stairlift has been very good for my mother-in-law, where she can go up and down the stairs with it. It's convenient to have and has given no trouble thus far. Whenever they installed it, the installer had me and wife ride up and down on it. It's a straight stairlift because it was going to be very expensive to do the curved because you had to buy both sections and they had to cut it off. So it was much cheaper to do two straight sections because we bought a used section to use for the two-step. Then we used Bruno for the full set of stairs. I have recommended them to someone at my church that was looking at some stairlift and they came by and looked at it.

Bruno called me and said that a guy would be coming out to put the lift on my truck for the wheelchair and that he was also going to put the stairlift in. They told me that he had extra help but when he showed up, he was the only guy they sent out. But he’d done all right. He'd done the truck first because I could put it in the garage and out of the weather so I could get it done. When he worked on the stairlift, he showed me how to use it and after he left, I tried it a couple times. I don't know whether it's the way he put it in or my steps, but when coming up the steps, you can hear it. Other than that, whenever it comes to the top, it’s got to slow there then once it hits the very top, it stops there. I get off, turn it back around, fold it back up, then I grab the remote and I move it off the top landing, because I cannot close my basement door with it up there. It's too close.
One evening, I came up to the top of the steps and the wife handed me something. I turned around on the seat, never got off it, and I went to go back down but the stairlift never moved. It just gave me an alarm. Bruno told me that I'm not allowed to touch it because of the warranty and that maybe I crushed one of the foot switches in there. But it never touched anything and never ran into a step. Plus, I only weigh 198 pounds. They said they'd have a guy here to fix it. It went off last Friday and they said their guy would be out on Tuesday. Then they said they were booked up and would probably come on Wednesday or Thursday. I called them yesterday and they said it was not going to be this week and that it would be next week. I told them I couldn't do without the stairlift because I come in through my basement and up the steps to get in. They then said they'd give me a call back. They called me back later and said they'll be here today.

The Bruno rep was really nice. He came out and set everything up and he was great. My parents like the stairlift. They said it's nice. Their old one takes up a lot of room. But this one definitely has more room on the steps.

The Bruno stairlift is comfortable and convenient. I like that it's made in the USA. My stairlift is curved and I feel like I'm on a roller coaster. But it's great. It's a game-changer. When you do that, whatever your problem is as far as the mobility issue is, and you put that, life changes. A simple thing of, "I left my phone upstairs. Can I go up those 14 stairs and then come back down?" It's not a source of frustration where you think, "Oh, no. I have to climb the stairs."

Bruno did a great job with my stairlift. I love it. The guys that put it in let me ride it up. They had to readjust the seat because my knees were touching too close to my wall when I was going up on it, so they adjusted the seat where I could sit back closer. That way, when I go up to the top, I can get off without any problems. It's got a straight curve, both of them. It goes up to the top level. It's 14 steps approximate to the flat bed up the stairs then it goes up some more stairs that was why they put that beam in there right down to go all the way up to the top step to the top doorway.

The stairlift is something that we had to invest in for my mom to get a bit of mobility for herself. It’s working out. Westchester Stairlift sold the Bruno stairlift to us and advised us. It was what they had and this was what they offered. It was the most suitable option for the space that I have. Westchester's reps were quite prompt. They showed us a brochure and explained the installation and I had them do the job. I have a lot of trust in them and I hope they will still be there in the future if I have to get any service or additional support from them. They gave a full assurance that they will show up in an emergency if there's anything that involves a warranty. The product is new in the home and it's working well. So fingers crossed, if I need support in the future Bruno will be there to back up their product.

It was a good experience all around with the sales rep. He measured out everything and went over what each step would be.

The stairlift makes it a safer trip for him. I don't have to worry about him falling. He's out of the house more now. We don't have a lot of space going up and down the stairs, but the stairlift folds up so it gives the kids enough room to walk up and down the stairs still.

The Bruno stairlift had done wonders. It didn't stifle me from being upstairs most of the day. Coming up and down the stairs, I would come down and just stay downstairs most of the day, keep attacking the stairs for any reason. But now, any time I have to go up and down for whatever reason, to get something or go back and forth has been truly a blessing. My experience with Bruno was good. I didn't have a hard time understanding what to do. The rep explained everything, showed me the instruction booklet and any questions I had were easily answered. The installation only took a couple of hours. They cleaned up and swept. There were no signs that they were there other than the chair. They didn't linger anything.
