Harmar Mobility Reviews

I had already investigated what the options were and the different companies. I found the one here in Richmond area that had that product and everything worked out very nicely. It was all by telephone. The installer was amazing. He is the epitome of the way things ought to be done. He did everything in four hours. We have the Harmar stairlifts for both floors. Everything seems to be perfect. We're pleased with the way it works and it's very helpful for my wife. It has changed her life.

Everything went fine during the sales visit. We talked to the rep, we put the stairlift in, and it's working good. The only issue we have with it is the cord behind the seat rubs on the seat and my wife said that there was a mark on the cord.

I looked online to check out what stair brands there were. There were two that I thought were interesting and so I called on Sunday, and the one didn't answer and said their business would be open Monday. So I called Harmar and it was pretty neat that the guy answered on a Sunday. He was so nice on the phone. He came out and looked at what our needs were and he said the stairlift would go really well. He said that the home office was in Kansas City, so everything was close. He could do the installation by Wednesday. So they came in, put it in, and they were out of here. There was no mess. So we were extremely pleased. The stairlift that we had before was an old iron horse. The Harmar stairlift is lighter weight but certainly strong enough to hold a person. I liked the fact that it can be called downstairs. The quality is quite good. It is noisy. But in all of life's things, it's not something that's annoying. All in all, we're very happy with it.

Our Harmar stairlift fits the stairwell upright. You can't walk around it, but that's okay. It fits me just fine. I like all of it. It has worked every time I needed it to. I don't have to worry about going up and down the stairs. If I need to go downstairs, I just ride it down, get off and go from there. It has been a good experience.

My husband is having issues with his legs and the stairlift has been a godsend. It works well. The local company that installed it for us recommended it. I've heard all good things about them. I researched it online, and when we went there to choose which one we wanted, they were extremely helpful. The service was excellent.

During the sales visit, they explained everything we needed. We had another person come in and we talked to them, and we liked the price better with the other one. Harmar said they would get it done sooner and it worked out for us. The installer was very nice. He went through everything. My grandfather liked to be involved and so he was patient with my grandfather, just explaining everything. The quality of the stairlift was good. It changed a lot of things around here. It helped in my grandfather's mobility to get back upstairs so he could sleep in his own bed. He didn't have to walk the stairs anymore. We were happy with everything.

The rep seemed very honest. That's what we want. And then, the installation was very good. The fella that put in the steps didn't do a very good job. But other than that, the stairlift is very good. My husband feels very safe. It has made it much easier for him. And it's for people who stay up there. They use it to take their luggage up and down. We're very satisfied with Harmar.

The installation team was very good. We have two stairlifts and we had a problem with the second one. The guy was very good coming out and helping me with it. It's obtrusive-looking, but it serves its purpose and it makes it a lot easier for my husband to get up and down. It's nice that it folds up and we have the one that comes all the way down at the bottom of the stairs, and then you can push it back up and the rail folds back up. That's nice because it keeps it out of the way. If you need it, Harmar is something that is well worth looking into.

I was having some problems with the Harmar product. It was like cracking and popping, and some of the bolts were coming out of the wood. They fixed it and it’s starting to do it again. The installation was fine. Then, about three months ago, it started making noise with the extender on the bottom. Other than those, I like that I can get up and down the steps. The quality seems good as long as it doesn't break down.

My daughter told me about a fellow who could install the stair lift, and he had experience doing the stair lift. I did some research on the internet. And I called him, and I wtore down several ones I was interested in. And he said that Harmar is the best one he works on. He likes it better than any of the others that he services. He also said he rarely has to service them because they hold up so well.

My kids pitched in and bought me a Harmar stairlift because I got a bad knee. Installation went good. The people put it up and they didn't leave a mess. They didn’t take too long and they were professional and nice as well. Also, the quality is good. We should have done that a long time ago. There are 14 steps and I cannot even walk.

The installation of our Harmar chair lift took a couple hours. We had problems with the charger. It broke down three times too. A couple of times, we weren't able to use it a few days because it was always over weekend. Other than that, it's working right now. We like that we can go up and down the stairs.

I bought an expensive chairlift from Harmar and had very good service from them. The conversation with their salesperson went smoothly, clearly, and quickly. That was paramount to me at the time. I was told that the whole set-up is guaranteed for life which was impressive. We're pretty old and maybe that's not such an abstract guarantee. They also said to call them any time. If anything quits working, they would fix it. At a time when we needed that kind of confirmation, that sounded good to us.

My legs were in bad shape and I was afraid to fall going down the steps. My son got a glide for me and it's fitting well in our stairwell. But about three-quarters of the way up, you’re hitting a little bump. It's probably where it's connected as it's two parts. I use it all the time and it's good quality. It gets me up and down the stairs easily and freely. It gives me freedom of mind here that I'm not gonna fall. That's the big thing for me. I don't have to do a lot of work to do it. It's easy to operate and I like it. My wife doesn't use it very often but there's plenty of room for her to walk up and down the stairs.

Harmar was the only one that had a big enough chair for my size. I called the guy and they came over fairly quick and gave me an estimate. He told me I'd have it within two weeks. I didn't believe it but he did and it was here. Everything he said he was gonna do, he did, on time, which I was surprised about. The installation was done in a couple hours. I got bad legs and COPD so the stairlift is a big help for me. I'm very happy with it.

Harmar was close by. They were handy and could do it before very long. I also talked to somebody else that had used them and they were happy so I went with them too. The rep was fine. He explained things and verified some things that we wanted to find out about. Then they came and installed it and it didn’t take too long. The stairlift makes it a lot easier going up and down from the step. It's also great for carrying things up and down the steps.

The rep was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and very thorough in his explanation. They gave us a lot of options so I like that. It wasn't just trying to sell a product. The product itself seems to be a very good quality. We have not had any issues with it and it's not in the way. I've had another stairlift and I like this one from Harmar better. It's quieter. It seems to be a better product.

They came, they put covers on their feet and they took the measurements. They were polite, considerate, and very pleasant. They did their job and left. It was great. My wife had a stroke, so we got a stairlift. We're satisfied with it. It seems to be good quality and it seems to be working fine.

The Harmar sales reps were good. The installation team was fine as well. They were professional and nice. The biggest downside is the cost. I feel it's somewhat overpriced, and I can't wrap my mind around why it is so expensive. Without the stairlift though, we wouldn't be able to use the lower level of the house at all, so it helped. It's to get my mom up and down the stairs and it's working well. However, we have a straight stairwell, so when my mom gets to the top of the stairs, she has to turn the chair to get out. For memory reasons, she has trouble remembering that and has tended to get out without it being turned. That makes it an unsafe dismount, but that was the only way that it could be done on that particular stairwell.

My mom is 87 years old and we got a Harmar because I like the no maintenance on the chain thing. The sales visit was very positive and the installers were quick. We have had to have them out a couple of times, though. When we swiveled the chair around, there were a couple of times when the light would stay amber and not go to green. They had to replace the sensor the second time within a few months, and it's fine now. I like stairlift being there because I can use it to set my laundry on and go up and down. I don’t have to carry it up and down the steps.

The sales rep did a wonderful job and the installers were wonderful. We got an indoor stairlift and the quality seems to be okay right now. It has helped my wife considerably. She's had back surgery and she's having difficulty walking.

I've fallen on my stairs in the past. After the second knee replacement, I said that I can't keep doing this. I don't want to sell my house. My brother told me he has a Harmar and it was great. I went to the VA and I talked to my primary care and they set me up with occupational therapy and they determined that I needed a stairlift. The VA put the Harmar in and paid for it. Since I've had it, I've been able to easily get up and down my stairs. I'm able to still fold my laundry, put it in a laundry basket, and get it up those stairs. I can also get in my stairlift and I can run a lightweight vacuum cleaner and vacuum my floors. It has made life better and saved me from worrying about falling. Also, nobody else builds one that has a maximum of 350 pounds. Harmar has it and it's an excellent chair.

The installer was very professional. At the beginning, they told me that they can refinance. But when we were ready to sign the contract, they changed their mind. They said no. So that was very rude and very unprofessional. That was lying to the customer. We did all the arrangement to do it and then on the last minute, we had to run and try to find the money, because I really need it.

We originally got the stairlift for my mother who didn't have the stamina to climb the stairs anymore. When she was living with us, it worked fine. Then there were a number of years where we didn't use it for anything other than to bring laundry up and down the stairs. Now, my wife and I both have back issues and I got bad knees. When I'm hurting, it's a relief to have it. I'm happy with it.

The purchase process was good and the installation was good too except it's out too far from the wall. The reason it's out too far from the wall is there's a doorway and I had to cut some of the doorway. If they’d told me that before they put it in, I would have had that all done. It was a little tight when it turned around to take stuff up and down and we had a little trouble at first. I called up and they were right out here to fix it. Harmar has been very good. If I had a lot of money, I'd buy every old person a stairlift ‘cause they're so nice. I use it more than five times a day. I have to go to the bathroom about three times at night because I don’t have a bathroom downstairs. My wife uses it quite a bit too.

Harmar's reps were knowledgeable. We purchased a stairlift to make it easier for my wife to go downstairs. We're very pleased with what we got. It has given my wife access to the basement.

The representatives that came out were very good and I didn't have any questions after they left. We got a straight stairlift and it fits tightly against the wall. Since we have one that can fold up, we're still able to access the basement pretty easily. We had a really good installer. He was very careful about everything. He was also thoughtful about how to set it up with the outlet because we have an odd place for the outlet. He did his best to get it set for us so that we had a place to plug it in. He took a good amount of time and even went over the second time because one of the adults in the house wasn't present the first time we talked about it. He went through it very patiently once again. My father's pretty overweight and it's held up well for him. We used it daily for my mom in the first several weeks after we had it so we've not had any issues.

The Harmar stairlift is very handy. My older brother needs it to descend five-step stairs from the first floor to the side door, and then from there, to a wheelchair to the vehicle. He can get in the vehicle when he comes back. At the side door, we need the ramps to descend or ascend the wheelchair, and we have hand railings to help position him in the stairlift. There are two different devices. One is at the bottom of the device and one is at the top of the device, and it takes down so slowly and safely. It also has a footrest and it works very well. The man who sold it to me was a very nice man.

I'm on oxygen 7/24 and I'm in a wheelchair. We have a house with a walkout basement and we've all torn apart the upstairs. When we moved into the house, I could go up and down the stairs but it was kind of a slow process. We were all torn up out front. The only way to get in and out was downstairs. It was awful and I spent most of that summer downstairs. I slept there because I have a really comfortable recliner down there. I can't lay on the bed. It hurts my back because I have an old back injury. I'm 73. I had a bout with sepsis about a year and a half ago and was put in the hospital for several days.

I’m of 80 years old and going up and down the stairs and the basement was a treacherous situation. I needed something to make sure I didn't fall on my ass down and hurt myself. So the stairlift answered the question. It does a good job and I enjoy it. The sales rep did a good job. He was nice and polite. She showed me what was gonna happen. The price was a little steep, but I bought it anyway. It was a little tight getting on the stairlift. I could draw my knees in. But that's not the stairlift’s fault. It’s my stair’s fault. The stairlift gets me to the bottom of the steps and back up the top of the steps. I couldn’t go up and down those stairs now without it. I’ve had back surgery two months ago, and there was no way in the world I could go down the basement without that stairlift.
