    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 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.

Having the Bruno stairlift is making my husband able to get up and down the stairs so much easier. There had been a couple episodes before the stairlift that he almost went down the stairs. 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.

    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. They cleaned up their packaging and everything very well. I told some people about it, how well it is and how convenient it is that they should look into getting it.

    The installation of our Bruno stairlift was good. The installation gentlemen came and did what they had to do. The quality of the product is good too. But right now, sometimes the issue is with the locking system. If it's not locked properly, my mom cannot move up and down. Sometimes she goes in and has to move around so it gets on the lock position so it can start going up or down. I called them before, the gentleman who was in charge, and he said this is a locking thing for safety issues. We should make sure she goes to the lock position, and then it will start going up and down. So we need more practice. They should be making it easier because this is hard for my mom and for us too. It's a lot of time pushing the left and right, getting to the lock position so it can start working.

    It was very pleasurable when the rep came and did the presentation. He explained everything to me. I said I didn't wanna commit to something without seeing how it actually worked so I went over to their business and they had one set up over there. I test-drove it and it seemed easy, but it also seemed very wobbly. Then, two guys came out for the installation and they had it installed within an hour. Railing-wise, they had everything cut and ready to go. They were just waiting for a chair and when the chair came in, they called me. It was delivered the same day they expected it would be delivered and they came out in the afternoon. The installation took an hour and they were gone. The stairlift has made it a lot easier to go up and down the steps. I don't hesitate going upstairs now. It still seems wobbly but they explained to me that it's not going to feel rigid like something else on a flat surface would feel.

    I was amazed how quick they put in the stairlift and how safe it was. It's better than I thought and it takes my weight real good. But it takes me up a flight of steps to the first level and then, there are three more steps and the railing is not good on those three steps higher than the original stairlift. If we get some type of a railing, it’d be good. Other than that, it's very sturdy and safe. There are a lot of precautions you gotta take before you get into the chair. You have to put the flap down for your feet and you have to seatbelt yourself in and turn the chair in the direction you're gonna be going where your back is towards the wall. Then, when you get out, you turn the chair back to the other side, it swings, and you get down to the floor, not the wall. I'm happy with it.

    The guy who installed my Bruno stairlift called before he got here. He got here on time, was helpful and informative. He instructed us on how to use it and answered all our questions. My stairwell is wider than normal, so there's plenty of room. I could go down the stairs in it and my wife could walk beside me. I'm very satisfied with the stairlift. My main living quarters is on the second floor. I have a neuropathy in my legs and the stairlift makes me feel 1,000 times safer that if something bad would happen and I needed to get out of the house quickly, I can. I would highly recommend it for people that are in need for the safety and mobility purposes.

    We used to own a stairlift and then the motor went bad. There was none available for it so I had to buy a new unit. The older one was a 2008 and it was built a lot sturdier with a lot more metal to it. This one has a lot of plastic to it but everything that's mechanical is warranted. Everybody tries to save a buck where they can and the other one was probably not overkill but very well-built. And that you'll find in anything nowadays. A car that was built 20 years ago is better than what they build now. They don't build them to last. However, the way the warranty is on it, I don't care. That was one of the best sellers of it, with the lifetime warranty on the motor and the electronics that run the machine. If Bruno can't replace it or don't have it, they'll prorate it. The stairlift is very good. I've recommended Bruno and my friend bought one, too.

    I like my Bruno stairlift, except it came with a couple of problems that I instantly became aware of. In fact, there's a little black switch in the armrest that makes it go up the stairs or down the stairs that keeps falling off. After the installation, they asked me to try it out and it fell off the first time I used it. They said they would fix it and they never did. It fell off again yesterday and it was a problem for me to chase it down the stairs. I had somebody do it for me. Other than that, the installation took about three hours. Also, they really took too long of a time getting here and getting it installed. The man who came, measured the stairs, and took pictures to present to his company must have been here nine months passed before they finally got the stairlift installed. So far, the stairlift helps me a great deal. It may be a little slow, but it's safe and I'm going to value it.

    The Bruno sales rep came out and I could tell he's been doing this for years. They do everything. They do chairlifts, but they also do ramps and other kinds of mobility devices. Initially, I was thinking about a ramp. But when we did the math for my front steps, and the distance of the house from the curb to the street, it was a non-starter. There's just not enough space for a ramp. We got a chairlift and the chairlift attaches to one of the handrails. They drilled it into the steps. As you're facing the house, it's along the right side of the steps. It's a wonderful product and so far, it's worked perfectly. I thought it would be big and ugly but it's not. The only thing is, when you close it all up and put the cover on it, it looks like there's a person standing on your porch. We have to keep reminding ourselves, "No, there's nobody out there. It's just the chairlift."

    The sales representative even advised me to build a little bit of a platform there at the top to make it level so that my husband, if he was in a wheelchair, wouldn't have to try to navigate up another half step. It's made out of decking material. It's wooden and that has worked beautifully and perfectly. It's seamless from the time he gets out of the chair and transfers into the wheelchair. And it's seamless right to get in the house. It was very professionally done all the way along.

It has room enough for somebody to walk down beside it. When the chair is not in use, it folds up. It's very beneficial because here in Oklahoma, we have tornadoes often and we have to retreat to the basement. My wife couldn't handle the stairs anymore. It used to be no problem. But about seven years ago, she had both of her knees and her hip worked on. None of the surgery helped her. She was better off without it. That was the main reason why I went to get the chairlift.

    The installation was fine, but I'm incredibly frustrated with the product. I wasn't told that the chair doesn't rotate at the bottom of the lift, and because of that, I neglected to get the 90-degree turn that would allow me to get in and out of my chair and into my wheelchair. I'm sitting there facing the wall. It was not clear to me that that was gonna be an issue, so now, we're gonna have to retroactively order that 90-degree turn. I'm looking at about $4,000 more that I'm gonna have to put into this because of an incredible flaw on Bruno's design.

    Bruno didn't indicate well enough how the design was gonna work. I studied engineering, and I know how to read and make blueprints. There was no indication on their drawings that that chair moved at all. If it had been indicated that it didn't move that way, we would have opted for that 90-degree turn. They definitely need to fix that rotating chair. There were other things as well, like I have to rotate the chair back to make it go up and down. However, my biggest issue is that chair needs to rotate at the bottom. I hope that this feedback goes all the way up to the top and they change their design.

    The installer of our Bruno stairlift was friendly and professional. He also did the demonstration. But he didn't have the bolts down there for more flush to the ground. So I called them and they had another guy come out and correct that. I just didn't want it coming loose. The first tech had to go somewhere else after here because he got a call and I think that was what made him not really get those bolts in there perfectly. So, even though it's been a while since we had it, he wasn't able to use it until the last two weeks. Also, I noticed the place where he tacked the wire up under in my step here came loose. My husband did the one in, but it's just dangling there. So when my husband's up and better getting around, he's going to try to tack the wire a little bit. But for the most part, the operational part of the stairlift seems pretty sturdy and we have no complaints.

    Also, the cost was reasonable and I feel like I got something that's a lot more sturdy than something else that they had to offer. As a matter of fact, there was a guy in here today, a physical therapist for my husband, and he's thinking about getting one too.

    The Bruno stairlift works pretty well. The only problem is in order to make it work, you need a little plastic paddle that goes into the right-side armrest to make that go up or down. Those paddles come out. I ordered several more and it was 10 bucks for plastic paddle that I'm sure they can produce eight million of those every day for five cents a piece. If the thing doesn't work without those paddles, maybe they ought to give you four of them extra when you buy the thing. They're worth five cents a piece if that much. They ought to make them easier to get. Other than that, the stairlift made it easier to go up and down. It doesn't wear your knees out.

    Our Bruno Stairlift is silent, in general, and that's good. The chair needed some adjustments for a person like me.

I am not overly crazy about the way you have to use the right hand to go up and down the stairs, pushing the lever. I did, long time ago, had one where you could just press in the middle and it was just on either hand. So, you didn't have to reach across your body to go up and down if you didn't have your hand right there for doing it.

    Going up the stairs is nice and silent. Down is nice and silent until I get to that first place where it turns and that's where I have the shakiness. Then when you turn again, there it goes again. When you put the parts together, you know how when a stairlift is put together, when you have that kind of curve, you have the one part and then you have to add another part in there. So, I'm thinking that that's where the sound that I don't like. When it turns, it's where those pieces stop together.

    I've dealt with Bruno for 18 years and I recently got a new stairlift. But it's very unhandy for a handicapped person if you ride the stairlift down and it's facing one way and won't rotate. It makes it harder for a person to get out of it because it doesn't rotate to the left. At the top of the stairs, it’ll rotate to the right so that you can get on it. But then when you ride the stair down to the bottom, it doesn't rotate. And in my case, when I get to the bottom of my stairs, I'm facing a wall.

    Everything went smoothly in my experience with Bruno, didn't have any issues. The female whom I worked with was great. She called a couple of times to make sure things were good. As far as the guys who came and did the physical installation, they were my kind of blue-collar guys. They had it installed quickly and it works great. Showed me how to do everything. Those two guys were great. They also installed it for free. I'm also very pleased with the quality of the stairlift.

The salesman was very easy to work with and got around our schedule. The lift works good and was very competitive to the other model we saw.

    The Bruno stairlift did exactly what it was supposed to do because it allowed us to use both floors of the house. The quality is very good. It's easy to operate and, so far, no problems. The one who came to take the bunch of measurements was a very nice person. The stairlift also has a good price. However, sometimes it was difficult to get to their customer service.

    I use my Bruno stairlift, but it's a little uncomfortable. The staircase is not that wide. The staircase between the going up is a little narrow. So, when I’m going up, my knee kept bumping on the railing. I cannot sit on it really straight, but I can sit on it sideway, coming up and going down.

    It took too long to have the Bruno stairlift delivered and installed. We tried to get it in July but didn't get it until the last week of October. It was involved with the government and anything that has the government okay on takes forever. For somebody who needed a stairlift like this, that was awful. But so far, so good. Once you get the hang of it, there are no problems. It moves slow enough, but it moves. That's the main thing.

    We heard that Bruno is a good make and it's much cheaper than the other ones. It was explained to us very well, so the only thing that I wasn't sure was I thought that the stairlift turned automatically when it got to the top. But that's okay. We would do it manually. Other than that, it's performing well. It goes up slowly like it's supposed to do. My wife has been using it now and she thinks it's good. Before, she was leery about the height.

    The chair lift should have stopped when it reached the unfolded bottom power rail extension but continued down. My father could have been severely injured had my mother not noticed the rail was going into the back of the chair. My concerns are why are there not any safety sensors preventing from this occurring to these power rails. This is an major failure in your power rails for the safety of the user. We decided to replace rail with manual rail because of our traumatizing experience with the power rail.

    I contacted Bruno and they refused to follow-up with repairs of their safety sensors on these power rails. I work in the health care system and order frequently assistive devices for my patients. My main focus is safety and preventing injuries to my patients. Also I do not agree with the replacement costs that we had to pay Dermer to remove this defective power rail. I expected Bruno to replace and pay for installation of the rail under the warranty due to the power rail being defective and not having appropriate safety sensors.

    We have a Bruno stairlift and it's a lifesaver. It is one of the best things that's ever been. As far as the price, I was hesitant. We had the money because we've saved. It's a lot of money. We were surprised that Medicare didn't pay anything on it except the taxes, but that was $300. It's expensive but it's a necessity. The quality is A+. My husband said, “If you hadn't kept on to me, and we had not got this when we did, I would never be able to get up those stairs.” Our bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs. So, it saved our life here because I couldn't get him up those steps, and I knew that he was struggling more every week.

    Bruno was so helpful, and my husband bought some more stuff. The guy that installed the lift also put about five grab bars in our walls. They are the handiest. My husband has one now in front of the commode where he can pull up at the door facing when he's getting up from using the bathroom. He even had one on the back porch where he can get a hold of that and push the storm door back to get in. The customer service reps were wonderful. They gave us a day that we had to work with our appointments. I recommend Bruno. I tell everybody at my church that we could not stay in this house if we hadn't had got it.

    The stairlift looked like a good option. I went to YouTube and Bruno has more than one of videos showing how it works indoor and outdoor. I started searching for businesses that sold them. Bruno had a phone number to call. So, I called it and left a message. The next day, I got a call back from this company in Tacoma which is in the western part of Washington. They referred me to this company in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho which is an hour and a half from here. In the meantime, I made calls to some of their competitors. And it turned out that in this region where my wife and I live, the only company that follows up and provides customer service is Bruno. I got responses from North Carolina, Florida and different places. But all they wanted to do was either send me the equipment and install myself, which is illegal, or they would hire a contractor to install it. But I'm not gonna get customer service in Florida when I live in Washington State.

    This company in Coeur d'Alene was customer-friendly. So, I decided that that was the way to go. They had an actual working model. Over a month before we installed it, because it had to be ordered, we drove over to Coeur d'Alene and used the demonstrator so we knew up front how it worked. Also Bruno is made in Wisconsin where it gets cold and nasty. We get cold and nasty winters here, too. The agency that installed our stairlift did a wonderful job and gave us a lot of instructions on how to use and maintain it. We're very happy.

    We got two Bruno stairlifts. We got coming to our foyer. We got one that goes up to the upper level, and a separate one that goes down to the lower level. We use them on a daily basis. What else is handy with the stairlifts is for groceries. We would have one person in the upper level and another in the foyer, and we can put bags of groceries on the seat and send them up, have the person on the upper level take them off the seat and set them on the floor and send the unit back down.

    The installation was good except the installers haven't come back and finished. The guy put the foot rests down too low, and they would get caught on the steps coming up. So, the installers sent a tech out to adjust it up so it would clear the steps as it came up. And when the tech did that, he said that the person who installed it needed to have some more brackets that went from the rail down to the floor, and he would get those and come back, but he hasn't. At the same time, he would mount the brackets that he dropped off on that visit for the remotes.

It definitely makes the stairs a bit skinnier now, especially at the top where the walls come in a little closer, but if we send the chair down to stay on the first level, it's perfect. It's tighter up there to get up and down, but people can still come up and down alongside of it. I'm a little heavier as well, so I get nervous going up.

He was professional in every respect and that's what really impressed my mother and stepfather and he was very courteous, which was what appealed to me. The install was 10 days earlier than scheduled because they had an opening. The installers came, installed the stairlift, and it's perfect. My stepfather loves it and uses it.

    A salesman came out and measured. I told him I was on a fixed income. He told me to try for the Lowe's credit card 'cause they work with them a lot. I did and was approved. It didn't take the installer that long to install the stairlift. He showed me how to use it. Though the stairlift could be faster, I like it. It helps a lot. I can come and go when I want.

    We were given a chairlift -- an older one that only went to one floor. A gentleman from Frontier Access & Mobility came out and looked at it. He indicated that it probably wouldn't work well for our needs so he had the design for the Bruno done. They brought it out to us and it looked good so we told him to go ahead. The installers were fantastic and did a great job. I love the stairlift. It does what it's supposed to do and I get up and down the stairs easily with it.

    But there could be a better way to fasten the remotes someplace. I put one at the bottom of the stairs in a little holder thing. I tried Velcro but the Velcro keeps coming loose and it drops off. We have to get to ours because when it goes around the corner, we have to move the remote in order to point it back at the chair, so it'll continue down the stairs. We go down a level and it goes across a landing, down a step, cross a little bit of a landing, and then down to the stairs. Also, it would be nice if the chair would turn around at the bottom. It only goes one direction and we have to squeeze out in order to get out of the chair. It'd be really nice if it was able to turn the rest of the way around.

    The salesperson was very informative. He explained very thoroughly. They installed the stairlift very nicely and safely. It fits very well. If it doesn't stay in the proper place, it doesn't move so it tells you that something is not adjusted. You feel very safe that you can go down without worrying if something is gonna fall apart.
