    Bruno's reps were wonderful and very professional. The ladies in the Indianapolis office were very good and everything went really well. The installation went smoothly and the gentlemen that came for that explained everything. They were very thorough and they showed up when they said they were going to. The stairlift looks very sharp nd it's a really nice piece of equipment. The seat doesn't look messy or tacky, and the way the base sits along the stairways is very attractive. We are very impressed with it and it's been very helpful.

    Right after we placed the order for it, my mother fell, broke her ankle, and had to come and live with me for six weeks. Then, we took her home to try to practice with her wheelchair. But when you enter her condominium, you enter on the ground floor and have to go up a flight to get to her main unit. So, we got her on the stairlift to get her up to her place and see if she could get around with a wheelchair. Now, she's able to be back in her home and without the Bruno stairlift, we never would have been able to get her up there.

    The sales rep, Mark, was excellent. He seemed to understand the whole situation and was good at what he does. The reps from Bruno came out and looked at the steps and took some measurements. Then, they came back and put the stairlift in in a couple hours. It is working very well though it’d be nice if it was smaller but I don't think it could do the job that it’s doing.

    We have a two-story house. My husband was very ill and was pretty much living on one floor. He was basically too weak to take the stairs. Also, my kitchen is on the other floor. I was going crazy running up and down the stairs so I killed my knees. We started researching products and the distributor for Bruno here popped up first. We had a great sales rep and he was very helpful.

    Two women did the installation and I was very impressed. I was very proud of them. Ours is a very much custom-made heavy thing and it was complicated. It took pretty much all day but they did great. The video and pictures online were pretty right on, except for the installation. As elegant as the rail look, the bracket used to put it in with what must be 100 steel bolts on our stairs is beyond not pretty. I was joking with my daughter and said, “It’s like having the Golden Gate Bridge in my house.” The track looks great. It matches the beige wall and the carpet. But all those bolts are really ugly. I was offered some paint to cover those. But that'll make it even tackier-looking.

    My husband died a few days before the stairlift was put in. But he was hopeful that that would have helped him get to treatment. I have been trying to see if I can get my knees to recover from the months of trauma I inflicted on them. I have not used the stairlift as much as I would have earlier on. But it reassures me that if my knees don't really recover, I'll still be able to get up and down.

    When their salesman came out, I was very happy with everything he suggested. I'm a heavier man, and he said that the stairlift would take a weight of up to 400 pounds, so I took it. I was very happy with the rep at 101 Mobility in Elgin. She answered all my questions. The service is fine. I had a problem and I called them, and they came right out and took care of the problem. The installation day was good. They came in the morning and installed it. I'm very happy with the stairlift. It's very good. My wife is also very happy with it. She was paralyzed on her left side, so the control being on the arm on the right side works great. Then we got two remote controls to send it up and down. The stairlift has helped her.

    Bruno is first class. I had a Bruno for about 17 years, and that was why I called Bruno back. The first man came and checked it out. He said, “Well, I hate to tell you this, but I'm afraid you're gonna need a new one. I can't repair this one because they don't make the part anymore. But I've got one. This is the next generation of this same model.” So, I said, “Okay.” He brought it and installed it in the same place. It’s a straight stairlift. It’s called Elite, and it's a better machine than the old one. It’s a 15-year newer model. So, everything’s been improved. I wasn’t really expecting anything different than what I’ve had before since this is just a newer version of the same one and it operated the same way. It’s a little smoother, and it eliminates a few minor faults the old one had.

    Bruno made the most amount of sense with what the product was. The sales rep was a bit standoffish, but he was okay. He wasn't feeling well. He had just gotten out of the hospital. The installers were great. They had this whole little routine worked out. They were absolutely a snitch. I got the straight stairlift. It could be just a little more compact, but it does fit in the stairwell so that another person can walk down the stairs without being impeded by the stairlift.

    The lady with Bruno was very helpful and came out within a week after I called her. I explained to her what we needed. She went through it and told us we needed a curved stairlift, which is a special one. We discussed the entrance and exit, and how it would work. So far, it's been very good. The stairlift works. We're very pleased. The only downside is the remote controls don't work well. You push the remote, and it starts then it stops. You have to let it go, push it again, and it goes up a little way. It might stop, and you push it again. It might take two or three times to get it all the way up.

    I called EZ Able, and we set something up, and I liked what Bruno had. So, I bought a Bruno chairlift. The owner of the company did a very good job explaining it and trying to keep Nancy at ease. The biggest problem we were having is Nancy was having a hard time accepting the fact that she needed assistance. She kept looking at it as a, “Well, people will know I’m old.” The owner was very informative. She was very knowledgeable to me and very good with the client, Nancy, just keeping the conversation kind of lowkey and under no pressure. She was like, “Here’s what we’re gonna do, and here’s what’s gonna happen.”

    The product was installed where it had to be installed. There were two installations because we have a bi-level house. I have a flight upstairs and a flight downstairs. In that situation, I understand normally those stairlifts would be installed on the outside walls, but in the case of going to the lower level, it had to be installed inside the railing. It went where it had to go. There wasn’t a whole lot of experience on where it went. There’s a very little attitude as far as what we could do just because of the architecture. It was nothing they did or didn’t do. There just were no real options as to where to install them. So, the placement was where it had to be. I would not have a problem recommending EZ Able and Bruno to somebody else.

    I was very comfortable with the Bruno rep I worked with. She presented it very comfortably for me to understand. She came to my house and she introduced herself and there was no pushiness. There was no insistence that I purchase the product. It was just a presentation at my kitchen table, which we were very comfortable at. She gave me the information for the different breakdowns and why the prices were a little bit different, and then she left it up to me. I appreciated that because it wasn't anyone that was referring that I was an older person and needed help understanding.

    The people that came and installed the Bruno stairlift were extremely careful and observant of what they were doing. They were here when they said they would be, and that was important to me, and they went ahead and answered all my questions. They were considerate of my time and they never stopped. As far as the stairlift, I'm very pleased. I like the idea that it turns at the top of my stairs so easily and that it comes down the stairs in a safe way. I also enjoy using it because it isn't complicated.

    The guys who did the stairlift installation were super. As a matter of fact, they asked if I wanted to come over and test it. I sat on the chair and they asked me if I thought it would be better if it was lifted a little higher. I could use it the way it was but a little higher felt better for me. I didn’t know it was gonna take that much work to make it a little higher. But they did it and there were no complaints. They just did it.

    The gentlemen were very friendly and very respectful to us. They were very concerned about taking care of what we needed. There was another thing. Bruno used to have a part that would work left or right. But they switched now. They got one that’s left and one that’s right. The gentlemen brought the wrong part and they had to go back and get another one and bring it back. They hooked it all up and it worked just fine. That aside, I’m liking the stairlift a lot. One of the reasons I had it put in is because I couldn’t get into the basement if there was a tornado situation. My wife said the stairlift was fantastic too.

One of the chairlifts was making rattling noises, and I think they lubricated the track.

    Michael, the guy who sold the Bruno stairlift to us, works both Kansas and Missouri. You have to be licensed in Missouri and in Kansas, you don’t. But since he's licensed in Missouri, he has the skills. The stairlift has a split rail and there’s a little bit of a bump but that’s not an issue. I feel very good about the quality. We've used the Bruno stairlift a lot since it got in and it's performed well. I like it. It does its job well and I don’t have to walk.

    I called Acorn and they wanted more money. They gave me a hard time about getting an electrician here so I decided to look elsewhere. Albany Stair Lift was the second place that I looked at and they were a little cheaper. They knew some electricians that could come. They're a little bit more convenient for the things that I needed so I went with them. The only thing was they told me the electrician was gonna come but he never did. I waited two weeks for the electrician to call. I called on the day they were supposed to install the stairlift and was still told the electrician was gonna come. I ended up having to get my own electrician over to my house. He dropped everything, came over that day, put all the stuff in I needed, and charged me $100 less than what I was gonna charged by Albany. I paid my electrician myself. Other than that, everything else was fine. My stairlift is very nice.

    We bought Bruno through a third party. It was a Westchester chairlifting company. The reason we had to go with Bruno was because we didn't have much of a choice. It holds more weight than the other companies. The third party company was wonderful. There was a lot going on and they made the time in the evening to come and see me. They explained all options to me and the payments. I got a fair price. They had a sample of the chair itself and they explained how they were going to install it. Their sales guy must have been with me for at least an hour.

    We have 14 steps in our house. I got the straight stairlift and it fits fine. There's even plenty of room to go up. The installers were very efficient and knew exactly what they were doing. There was a banister on that wall and they initially installed the chair with the banister there. When I told them I didn't want the banister there, they took off the banister and put the chair in again. They corrected it right on the spot and they told me it wasn't a big deal. They took that extra half hour to do it. I was very satisfied. We've been using the stairlift for about two weeks and it's working out very well. My husband is a diabetic and he has neuropathy in his feet. With the stairlift, he doesn't have to do the walking.

    My mother needs to get down the stairs now that she has lung cancer. I got connected to James Medical and they were very pleasant and easy to deal with so I went with them. Their rep was really nice and excellent. We got the Elite stairlift. I wanted that because the seat was better for my mother. There were two models set up at the retail store and my mother sat on both of them. She looked like she was fighting out of the lower model but she fit comfortably in the upper model. The seat was broader and she felt more secure.

    The initial installation was not good. The crew did not tighten the bolts down so when I was testing the stairlift, it would make a lot of noise and my husband was concerned. When he checked it, he found the bolts weren’t tightened and that was a safety issue. Techs came right out and fixed it. Everything else I've had with them has been excellent. I liked their professionalism and they were very honest about the product. The display was excellent too.

    With the stairlift, we have to wiggle around it a little bit but not dangerously so. I'm happy with it. The stairlift has the appropriate safety beeps and things. I wish it turned automatically but that would have been another thousand-dollar adjustment so we didn't do that. I would have loved to have the feature where you don't have to use your feet to rotate at the top of the stairs. That was available to me but I needed to pay the extra money and I elected not to. Other than that, it's doing very well.

    The salesman was a nice guy. He came out and made a bunch of measurements. He wasn't aware of how bad the remotes worked and he didn't say anything about that. He just said to push a button and it'd turn. So it was annoying me since I had in mind that when you push a button, it would go one way or the other. But after we got it, you had to sit there and hold the button the whole time, which is something that you can't do anything about. It's aggravating because the reason that you're doing that is because nobody's in it and you want to move it. I can understand that if somebody's in it, they might not want to turn it on and let it go. Then, the controllers were very touchy. The day before yesterday, a guy came over here and he spent about five hours trying to find places to put them where they would work. And I really haven't had time to play with them yet to see how they do. But I hope they do better.

    When we first had the stairlift installed, those remotes wouldn't work at all. If we wanted to put it in the park position, we'd get on it, ride it up there and park it, then come back downstairs. And if we needed to go get it, then we'd go upstairs and bring it down. That was how bad the remotes work. But the guy found some places that made them work a little better. Like the salesman, the installer wasn't aware about any problems with the remotes because he didn't put them in the right place at all. So it was too bad that the installer didn't have any better information. Other than that, the stairlift seems like it works out fine.

    My mother feels safe with the Bruno stairlift. The model that we got doesn't power rotate. She needs to rotate herself and she was a little uncomfortable initially. But she’s getting there. There's a seatbelt and it's nice. I would like for mom to be able to use it. The thing is, she can buckle herself in, but she cannot unbuckle it because the button is a little stiff. It’s pretty low on one side, so she couldn’t really reach it. It’s really hard to reach if you have limited mobility with your shoulder, or are not tall, so your arms are not too long. For a person who’s below average height, and especially somebody elderly, with some arthritis in the shoulder, it is really hard to unbuckle. So, she ends up not using it.

    There’s also a lever that you need to push to rotate the chair. In order to know that the chair has rotated all the way, sometimes this lever goes up and you can hear a click and that’s good. But sometimes, it has a very soft sound. It just very quietly moves up. It’s hard to gauge If the chair has rotated all the way or not. If there was an audible beep, just like there’s a beep when it reaches the top from the bottom, that would have been nice.

Having the lift is really a big adjustment, but it helps me not to have pain. The only thing is there's a little footrest and it's not built to take your weight. Also, the chair is so short that when I go sit down, I have this urge to put my feet on the footrest and push standing up so I can scoot myself back in the chair further because it's so short. I realized, "Oh, gosh, I better not be pushing on the footrest like that." So, I just quit using the footrest. I just leave it folded up and I'm hanging my feet in the air. The chair could be longer and they could make that footrest stronger so that you won't break it with your body weight.

Other than that, this chairlift made it much easier to get on and off because it has a swivel seat on it, which my other one did not have. The problem is that it only swivels at the top of the stairs and doesn't swivel at the bottom of the stairs. That doesn't make sense.

We're not replacing any stairlifts at this point. The fellow that’s in our medical center is a dealer of Bruno and he handles and services them. If something would go wrong, he is 10 minutes away from me. I'll never buy the more expensive model again. It's a loser. You can’t even adjust the height of the old one so that my wife could easily get in and out. They put an extended foot lift in, which cost us a couple of hundred dollars and that didn't help. So I've got a whole new guy that helped me. I've got a second stairlift that I'm going to upgrade.

    The stairlift we have now is made a little better or made differently. It's just I'm not satisfied. My wife gets to the top of the steps and about 50% of the time, I would have to go up, shake it around then bring the chair down. She has a hard time and sometimes, she can't make it and she walks down. She wants me to take out the stairlift. She probably walked down 10 times already. If you get a chairlift, you want it to work. I'm gonna call that sales guy back and tell him to come and he has to do something.

    The sales rep was very professional and responsive. So far, we've been happy with the Bruno. The compactness is okay. We have two, upper and lower, and the lower one comes down on the wood floor so it has that extra stuff on it. Because of that, they had to put it a little bit further away from the wall. My husband is 6 feet, and it's a little bit close for him.

    I got a straight stairlift from Bruno and I wish it’s a little bit more compact. It's wider than I thought when it's folded up. When my mom sits on the stairlift, I gotta jiggle to make sure it's in the right position. So, it’s a little sensitive with the sensors. She’s scared of the stairlift. It’s not what she's used to. When I'm strapping her, she's got a death grip on those handles. It probably would be good if there's some type of harness, like a three-point belt, to maybe make them feel more secure. The arms could be slightly longer. The actual footage should be small because if she ever has to come downstairs with an ambulance or one of those chairs, it takes a lot of the space in the stairwell. But that could be just the way it is.

The installers were done in less than a day. They did a wonderful job, were neat, clean, and courteous. The only thing is, on a bit of a negative, the Bruno stairlift is close quarters on my knees after you make the left turn when you go up the stairs. Sometimes, my knee touches if I'm not careful. Also, I thought I just pressed the button and it worked. My wife also has a bad back so when I send the chair up for her, it wouldn't move more than three feet before it quit.

    I had a Bruno stairlift for 16 years, and it was fine. I just got a new one. I like them. The rep I just dealt with was professional. I went back and forth between the salesperson and the technician who installed it, so I wasn't sure which person I was gonna talk to the next time I talk to them. The tech was very amiable. We had a problem originally, and he came back and fixed it. So, I'm completely happy with it now. I got the straight indoor stairlift. I have a wide stairwell so it leaves plenty of room for people to go up and down.

    I preferred some of the features on the old one as opposed to the new one. The new one is the Elan. The older model had a padded armrest, and the new one doesn't. On the new one, the arms are bowed out farther, which wasn't necessary. Also, I don't care for the new up and down switch on the arm. It looks like a bird's tail fin sticking out there. It looks like it would be easy for someone to catch and break off. The old rocker switch was just fine. I enjoyed that one.

    I would recommend Bruno to a friend because the quality is high. However, they have a bad design in the rail because when it was first installed and went up and down, you expect it to be smooth and quiet and it sounded like someone banging on a tin can with a metal spoon. It rattled all the way up and down. It was driving me nuts. I talked to the installer, and he said, "Well, they have a crimping tool to address that." It was 30 days out on order, but he did get it within two weeks of his original installation. He brought it and worked on it with that tool and it quieted it. If it was designed correctly, it wouldn't make that noise the first time that they went up and down. So, I was kind of disappointed in that but it's working okay and it's quiet now, so the problem was solved.

    Bruno had a decent price for what you get. When the tech was here, he greased the stairlift. He gave me the tube of grease and told me to grease it every six months or at least every year. He also told me how to clean the track. My husband and I also bought a Bruno stairlift for our daughter. She has myasthenia gravis so it's hard for her to get up the steps. I told my daughter to make sure to ask for the rest of the tube of grease. She said she did but the guy that put in her stairlift said he would come back and grease it.

    The Bruno stairlift was the most expensive. We got the curved stairlift because we didn't want to look at the chair at the bottom of the steps all the time if we drove up and our door was open. The chair itself is very neutral and goes with our decor a little better. The sales rep was very knowledgeable and the installation went very well. We called the techs back because we had them change it from multi to single user so that it wouldn't beep at the top of the stairs. My husband power swivels it at the top and we leave it in that position so he can get into it in the morning.

    There was a little learning curve in using the Bruno but now my husband is using it 100% every day which is great. We had to get some touch-up paint from Bruno because the rail has some rub on it and had the paint rubbed off. Another thing was that the two receivers are black and kind of unsightly. We didn't really expect that they would be so visible. But we can live with it.

    Also, we were hoping the cords would be a little more hidden. The one up at the top is behind our bedroom door, so that's fine. The one down in the living room is very visible. But it is what it is. The stairlift itself is quite a statement. Other than that, I rode the stairlift and it was very smooth. Bruno did a fine job working with the provider, 101 Mobility.

Independence is less than a half hour away. And he said, “Yeah, Bruno, we are the installer. If you wanted me to, I could come over this morning and figure out and give you an estimate.” I said, “Sure. Come on over.” I knew right away this is who I wanted. He was so straightforward.

That was it. And I said I’d go with it.

    The rep came out and looked at the two options, either taking it up the left side, going up to the top and curving it back so that I could transfer off, or put it up the right side and run it straight out where I could transfer off to keep it away from the top of the stairs. The previous lift that I had just went to the very top. I would pivot around to stand up and I always had the feeling that I might tumble down the stairs. The rep suggested that it was better on the right-hand side. When you turned around to the left, there was a little hallway that went out into the room over the garage. It was a little congested there to try and have the lift and my scooter there at the same time.

    They did a great job during the installation. They showed me that you can turn off the lift underneath if you want to work on it. I like that it charges at the top and at the bottom, but it doesn't charge in-between. The last one, it had to go down at the bottom to be charging. That position kind of obstructed the stairway. When they got the Bruno stairlift installed, it was too high for me to transfer out of my chair so they took it out and reinstalled it all over again so it was closer to the ground. I would recommend the 101 Mobility people. They made everything right and weren't standing around with their hands out for the rest of the money until everything was perfect. They had had trouble with the remote control though. It wouldn't get it up to the top of the lift. The remote control was not quite powerful enough. They had to put a booster on it because I went to run it up the day after I got it and it only went up about halfway. I wish that somebody would get the remote controls fixed.

I was very pleased with them. Even the installers, no problems. The Bruno stairlift is working and it's helping my parents out. I'm very happy with it.

    Our experience with Bruno was fine except for the time it took, but that wasn't their fault. The installation was perfectly fine. It was very efficient. They did a good job. So far, it's great.

    Everything went fine with the installation of our Bruno stairlift. The sales guy assured me he could arrange it the way I wanted it done, and they did just that. They did well. We're satisfied with it.
