What is Stannah Stairlifts?

Stannah Stairlifts is a company offering stair lifts in 47 states and Washington, D.C. It sells straight and curved stair lifts for indoor use.

Stannah has over 150 years of experience with making people’s lives easier and giving them back their independence. Its team has won nine industry awards for its safety and health practices.

How does Stannah Stairlifts work?

With Stannah, you have the option to purchase, rent or rent to own a curved or straight stair lift, depending on your needs. For the most part, the right one for you depends on the shape of your staircase and the weight limit required.

Stannah’s purchase process starts with you getting a quote either online, over the phone or through an in-person consultation. If you decide to buy, Stannah will later install your stair lift for you.

You have the option to purchase directly from Stannah or from one of its authorized dealers. Dealers set their own prices and package options. In some cases, you may come out ahead through a dealer, while buying direct is a better option at other times.

Stannah stair lift models

Stannah offers the following models at the time of publishing:

  • The Starla: The Starla is Stannah’s most customizable model — it comes in a range of upholsteries and light or dark wood trim. It also features a call button, which allows you to press a button and have the chair come to you, and safety sensors to keep the chair from running over obstructions or taking off before you’re fully seated.
  • The Siena: Stannah designed the Siena with space in mind. This compact model works well in narrow staircases, and its curved seat back helps keep riders comfortable. The armrests are slightly longer than ones in other models for added support, and the seat is also slightly wider. A retractable seat belt fits into the arms of the chair.
  • The Sadler: The Sadler model is designed for people with limited flexibility. It’s a stand-up chair meant to be leaned against, so there isn’t as much weight on your back, hips and knees. The seat is height-adjustable for comfort and non-slip for extra safety. It also produces gentle support beneath the cushion when you sit down and straightens your back by tilting up slightly when you stand up.

Stannah Stairlifts cost

Stannah doesn’t publish its prices online, so you’ll have to get a quote from the company for exact pricing. You can get a quote by having a Stannah representative come out to your home, calling the company or answering some questions on Stannah’s website. These quotes include the cost of installation.

Stannah does publish some general pricing info you can use as a guideline, though. According to Stannah, you can expect a straight staircase stair lift to cost anywhere from $3,400 to $5,500, with most purchases in the $3,500 to $5,000 range. Curved staircase stair lifts cost between $8,500 and $14,000.

These prices may be intimidating, but financing options are available. If you only need a stair lift for a limited time, consider a rental.

    I had a very bad turn in health as far as my heart was concerned and had repeated heart problems. I went through a list of stairlift providers in the area, and I had someone to make one out. Pricing was one of the things involved with it, and I wasn't quite happy with what they had told me. Stannah was the next one on the list and somebody nearby. I happened to be very impressed with the fellow that came out to the house to explain it to me and went with him.

    We have had stair lifts in this house before. When I originally bought it 50 some years ago, it was a funeral parlor. It had a stair lift to raise the bodies up to the second floor, where it had a special shower for cleaning the bodies to prepare for funerals. So, it had one there then. My kids used to like to play on it. Then we had that pulled out and had a new one put in for my mother-in-law who moved in in the '90s. The new one we got is straight. The installation went fine. I was totally shocked that it was a one-person job. I can’t get over that. I know how heavy these figures are.

    The stairlift's quality is very good. It's quiet. I like the quiet. What my wife and I both miss with what we've got used to with the old one, and this has nothing to do with the stair lift itself, it's just the configuration doesn't allow her to fit a laundry basket on the sheet. We're both in our 80s, and we were looking forward to having some help with the chair to be able to carry some of that heavy stuff up and down.

    Response from Stannah Stairlifts

    Samuel, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you were impressed with our representative and the installation process. It's great to know the stairlift meets your expectations for quality and quiet operation.

    We understand how important everyday convenience is, especially when it comes to tasks like carrying laundry. Some of our customers have found that using a smaller, round laundry basket works well when navigating the stairs with their stairlift. We hope this suggestion helps make your daily routine a little easier!

    If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.

    Sincerely,

    The Stannah Team

      Stannah’s serviceman is here right now fixing the raising portion of the steps. We bought a used version, and they sent the wrong fold-down piece. It wasn't automatic, or it didn't lock in. He had to bring a new one today. James is a great service rep, and Michelle did an excellent job of advising us and telling us about all the options for the product. We've only had the product for less than a week, so I don't have a great feeling about it initially. My wife has Alzheimer's, so some of the control type of needing to do this or that gets confused a little bit. But some practice will get that down.

      If I were to make a suggestion, I'd figure out a way for the unit to charge all the way to the bottom so that you didn't have to raise it back up halfway to charge it. Because she has to call it back if it's in the middle, and sometimes that gets confused, or sometimes she takes the remote up the stairs with her. For an Alzheimer's patient, it's a little complicated knowing all the steps. I'd also take the red shut-off button off the top of the left-hand arm because that sometimes gets shut off. When things don't work, she just starts pushing buttons. Then, once that's shut off, then you're dead in the water. If that type of thing was on the side, it would be much less obvious as an option.

      But compared to the other units that we looked at, I like the way that the top automatically swings around so that you can get on and off. And we've been very satisfied with it a little bit. However, it does creak or bounce or bump a little bit when it transitions from the main rail onto the movable rail. But what he's doing today will probably stop that type of deal.

      Michelle did a phenomenal job in educating us. A couple of the other brands, the salesperson just came in and looked at everything. Then, one company took three weeks to get me an estimate, and then some people just looked at it and then sent you stuff over email, where Michelle sat at the table and showed you videos and answered all the questions. I became an educated consumer with the number of people that I met and could talk about the different products. We had a neighbor of a sister-in-law who has a Stannah product here in Hudson, and he swears by it. That added to the decision-making factor of the deal.

      It was a little more expensive than some, but it’s worth the options that you look at in the product. We bought a used model, saved $1,200, recognizing that many of us buy used cars over the years and don't have any problems. And with just two of us, I didn't feel that there was a lot of wear and tear on it, and I know they've all been factory reconditioned. So we're very comfortable saving the $1,200.

      I asked one of the other people who were here demoing their product who their nearest competitor was and that group said Stannah Stairlifts. That was a point. I had already read Consumer Reports, which didn't rate them, but listed some of the best ones and Stannah was there. Also, Stannah was within a short driving distance which also made a big difference. I couldn't find anything bad about the product. I met Tony, the salesman, and he was excellent. He answered all my questions. He made a good impression on both my wife and I and I attribute much of the sale to him.

      The quality of the machine was impressive. Make sure you have a good salesperson to deal with who can tell you about the product. We have two stairwells and each one has separate stairs as opposed to coming up one and going down the other with a continuous rail. That was important. And coming into the house, you would see this and how he put it on a wall that you wouldn't see. Those were good tips because that's something you don't consider much. Tony did a good job at that.

      The weakness that stood out to me was the spelling out in the contract and having a piece of paper. Spelling everything out on one sheet would be valuable and should be part of the presentation. If you're going to come out with a price, come out with it and have it fixed and make sure that the customer understands that it's used or not used. Our rep gave us a brochure and that was good. The brochure could be a little better. Stannah should get more publicity for themselves. That would be important. But the salesperson going out to a customer is super important.

      We turned down one group that didn't leave any papers, didn't even leave a brochure. He wrote out the price and everything else, put it back in his briefcase and left. That was a shocker. The guy did a terrible show. His employer called and wanted to know how I felt. I told them I was very disappointed. I told our Stannah rep about that, and he guessed the correct company. So, they do it for others. Another person came in and did a good job, but he didn't finish explaining the price and so forth. Tony was the best and that makes a big difference. Pick someone you feel comfortable with. They're all salespeople and they want you to feel comfortable, but some do a better job at it than others.

      The stairlift takes up all the space, but it's a narrow stairway. My wife uses it and she manages it. It's tight at places, but it's okay. My son and wife forced me into getting one and I'm happy with it. It changes a stage in my life that I didn't want to change, but it's okay. It runs well. It seems to be doing okay and working out. The only thing I don't like is the alarm sound. That going off, they had to move things. There should be an adjustment to make it slower or faster. But I like it.

      I looked at Stannah Stairlifts, Harmar, and AmeriGlide. I read some reviews, looked at the products. I did a Chat ChatGPT based on the three products, and the Stannah was supposedly the best quality. It was the most expensive. ChatGPT recommended the Harmar because price-wise, my budget was 4,500, and they said you're not gonna get into a Stannah for $4,500. So, I spoke to someone at Stannah, and we talked about a refurbished unit. I decided to go that direction. The Harmar is good, but I didn't like that the manufacturer didn't install it. A local dealer installed the Stannah, and he seemed very good. I said to him, "Please get me a serial number.” He said, "Between six months and two years old.” I said, "Okay, that's fine. That's great. Just do me a favor. Get me a serial number of the unit that you install into my home before you do it.” I wanted to make sure that it's between six months and two years old. But he never got back to me.

      He said, "Check out what you have as far as refurbs.” Because he wanted 7,000 for the equivalent Harmar unit to the Stannah. Stannah wanted 7,500 for their brand new one, and it was out of my budget. So 5,000, I got a refurbished unit. The installer guy was here on Monday. He installed the stairlift. He was very prepared, organized, and he did an excellent job. I said to him, "Check out the chair and the carriage.” The carriage is the most important because the motherboard and all the brains of it are in it. He looked at it, said, "It was built in 2011." So, it's 15 years old. I wasn't that happy about that. I called the rep. They installed the one that's here, but they will send me a new carriage and share that is within two years old. So, they're following through.

      I got the retractable rail because I needed to. Without a staircase, it would have stuck out into a hallway. I redid the stairs myself many years ago. I ripped off the carpeting. We went to wood stairs. I stained it, polyurethane, custom everything. So, it killed me to have to put screws into my stairs. The retractable rail sticks up not over, but very high in the spindle. Do I love that? No. The Harmar, wit was a wider rail, but not as high. And that retractable unit went straight up in the air. This one folds. I'll get used to it. It works well enough. As far as the look of it, what are you gonna do? I need to get upstairs. They're well-built and do the job. A lot of the design features are nice and makes sense. I like the way it operates. I like the way the chair itself can go up and down.

      Everything went very smoothly in my experience with Stannah. My wife's muscles got weak. She couldn't get up the stairs. I had to assist her. And we have not just the normal 12-step, but we got a 15-step stairway. And it was getting tough for her. So, we decided to get a stairlift. My wife googled it and looked at the reviews. She found Stannah, and we called them. Gene, the salesman, came out the next day. He was very helpful and explained everything. We thought it was going to be mounted on the wall, but he said no, it was going to be mounted on the steps, which makes more sense.

      If it's down at the bottom, you can get by it easily and walk up the steps. And the chairlift rail is to the right and the handrails to the left as I'm going up the stairs. So, there's room for me to carry the laundry. However, we thought it would at least go up a little further. I was contemplating calling Gene back and asking, "Can we get another little extension added on?" So that it's easier to get past the chair at the top where the post is, if it's the end of the hallway. If we can put it into the corner and get it out of the way, it'll be easier to go around.

      The installers were great. Max was one guy, and Kevin. Max was experienced. He had eight years of doing this. Kevin was a newbie. I was impressed on how Max instructed Kevin on why you're doing things, not just do it this way, but he was teaching him why you're doing it this way, when you put the seat on, or when you're anchoring things, or when you're leveling something, and how to get the tool in to tighten the bolt 'cause some things are in the way. He was instructing him on how to be not just a regular installer, but to understand why he was doing things a certain way. Max was an excellent teacher. I'm an engineer. I had a lot of questions for them. And they were eager, answering everything. They were very polite.

      They were going to do something one way. I said, "I really don't want the wire tucked under the stairs," like the lip of the stairs, 'cause sometimes it may come out. I don't need anybody tripping. So, we did it at the bottom. We went through the face and down under the stairs. And then in the basement, we wired it to an outlet. He put the extra tubing all around, all the way to the transformer converter for all the low-voltage stuff, so that nothing would damage it. I gave him a suggestion, and he said, "That's a good idea." He was open-minded to that input.

      They were here for four hours installing the whole thing, which is what Gene said it would probably take. And Gene said they probably were going to put in posts from the rail to the stairs. But he said he's a salesman, not the installer. When Max came, he said, "I don't like putting a post every five or six steps." He said he’d do three maximum. Instead of four or five, he wound up putting six posts in, which, for me as an engineer, I appreciated. It was one extra post than what Gene was going to do. But it gave it more stability. And the thing does not rock when my wife goes up. I really appreciated the time and the service that they took. I'm glad Stannah didn't do a third-party installation, and they have their own installers. That's a plus.

      The representatives from Stannah were excellent. They were very informative, very thorough, went through everything, and left us with a number that we could call should we have any questions. We ordered the product right away. We had two put in. We were so happy with the first product that we had another one put in. Their price was competitive. They gave us a little bit of a discount on the second one. The first install was good, and the second install was even better. The installer was a much more seasoned employee. Leo, the second installer, was a 5. The first installer was like a 4. He wasn't as knowledgeable, and he had only been with the company for a short period of time, so he didn't know all the little quirky things.

      We just moved and I'm using it to move boxes up and down the stairs because I can load the chair up and send it upstairs and then meet it upstairs and not have to lug boxes from the basement to the second floor because we're unpacking. I just called yesterday, and they gave me a number of somebody to call in service because where the rails connect on the one going from the first to the second floor, it makes a little bump at that spot where the connection is. So, they're gonna come out and take a look at that.

I was concerned because, thought the workers had hit something on my chair and I would have a major problem. I called Stannah and I explain my situation to a very pleasant and understanding lady. I have very bad knees and the stair are a challenge for me. She had repair at my home in a day and a half.

He has to be the the best repair technician I ever had come out to service my chair lift. The best recommendation I can offer is, if I need service again, I will definitely request Kris again.

      I'm having issues with my mobility and my legs. I fell down the stairs and luckily, I didn't injure myself. But I could've hurt myself because I fell from the top step all the way to the bottom, head first. So I decided to get a stairlift. Stannah showed up on my Facebook feed an when their team came for a home visit, they were pretty helpful. They were very good and informative. They took the time and explained everything to us.

      The installation also went well. It took them a couple of hours. At the time, I was at work and when I got back home, it was ready for me to use. It's small enough for you to get up and down the stairs without bumping to it. I know some of them are pretty bulky, some of them, but this model I picked is the least one like that. So far, so good and I haven't had any issues with it at all. It makes a big difference in my life because when I’m stepping down, my knees are buckling and I end up falling on the ground. So, the stairlift really helps me with my confidence and I don't have to worry about falling down the stairs again.

      I searched the internet for good stairlifts. Stannah had a good rating. So, that was the first stairlift company I had come in. They were all as expensive, for the most part, but they didn't have the features or the rental capabilities. I have steps that land in front of the front door, so I needed a rail that would fold. And all the other ones folded straight up. This one slides up above the rail, so it's not sticking straight up. The sales was straightforward and very personable. Gave me the numbers I needed to make a decision. The install person was professional and did a good job, from what I can see and not knowing how you really install a stairlift. But it was about a five-hour job. I do feel comfortable and safe with the stairlift. Although it has some unique issues.

      Occasionally, it stops coming down the steps. It gets about a third of the way down, and it will stop. I normally can get it going again. I don't know what makes it stop. Then sometimes it'll stop one other time. The other thing is, occasionally, the swivel at the top of the stairs, the seat swivel, won't. It's supposed to be an auto swivel. And every once in a while, it goes to the top; it doesn't swivel. I have to manually turn it, which I can do.

      And occasionally, when I have to do that, it won't start going back down. It's almost like a honk, honk more than a beep, beep, that something's wrong. I have to jiggle around to finally get it. Normally, to fix that, once I get down to the bottom of the steps again, I take the key out and turn the whole machine off. Then turn the machine on and stick the key back in. That seems to reset it. But it's frustrating.

      I had decided I needed to get a couple of stairlifts, and I started looking. My son did a lot of research, and we had a couple of different people out here. And I wasn't very happy with either one of them. Then Stannah’s rep came out. He gave me a $1,000+ discount. Plus, I had the option to get a used one, whereas with the other companies, no. And it would have cost me even more in the long run to rent them for a year.

      He gave me all sorts of information and answered any questions that I had. However, it turned out there was a mistake on an order, and it wasn't their fault. But the two gentlemen who came to do the installation made arrangements to meet with someone halfway. And one of the guys took off, and he came back with the right-size rail, and they were here for a long time, but no problem. They cleaned up after themselves before they left.

      Getting everything set up was fine. I had double railings up on both staircases, and they agreed to remove those. The rep told me that they couldn't install the kind that I have with the automatic stair rail that comes down with the door there, even if it would clear the door. He said it just wouldn't be safe. So, he took the door off for us and put it out in the garage. The stairlifts work fine.

      Look into Stannah Stairlifts first, if you're shopping. I looked them up on the computer and found that they had the better recommendations and service. If you had a question, a real person talks to you. It's not an automated type of thing. The installer was on time, brought the stuff in and was friendly. It didn't feel like I had someone different in the house. She was quick, although she didn't have to be, and very efficient.

      I spoke a number of times with a rep at the office because I had some issues with sending her a tax relief so you don't have to pay the Massachusetts sales tax on it. We had to go and have it signed by a doctor. It was not only confusing to me because I never did anything like that before, but also because we don't use technology. If we were younger, maybe. We use it, but understanding something new sometimes takes a bit. Other than that, my husband has found that the lift is very convenient after his hesitation. It hasn't interfered with anything. It doesn't even scare the dog.

He came prepared, knew what to say and what to do, and didn't pressure me at all. He was very knowledgeable, and he gave me the incentive of, “What you can always do is rent instead of buying it.” My ears perked up right away because, at that time, I was going through a lot trying to arrange everything for my husband. So, that sounded better to me.

      The install was perfect. They said they'd be here at such and such a time, and a young man, Hunter, came, and he was great. When he was all done, he showed me how everything works. He said, “In case the electricity goes out, this still works.” He showed me what to do if there's a problem, and gave me the pamphlet. He was wonderful. So, it went very smoothly. The stairlift is straight up and down. The ride is beautiful. I have no complaints. In fact, I wish I put it in for myself years ago. We can take the laundry up and down now.

      I would not give any stars! The sales rep was more interested in his bonus for the sale than my safety and home operation. His proposal for two sets of stairs would block rooms and the rail would be bolted to floor in front of entrances to each room. Leaving a dangerous tripping situation. The system did have some nice features, but IT would not be feasible. He also took liberties with my charge card and did not confirm deposit for each system. I have to do some construction before installing and this would tie up $1,200 which I need for construction costs no matter whose system I purchased. He didn’t ask and put $2,400 on my card. They charge 25% deposit others only want 10%. It was the next day when I wanted to confirm the systems that it was made clear I would be shut off from two rooms in my home!

      I canceled immediately and then had to make several calls to get my card refunded! The sales rep wanted a sale, and had no consideration for my whole home. This is to make it handicap accessible and for MY benefit NOT HIS. I am a senior woman, widow, I feel taken advantage of. Be careful when discussing your accessibility needs! I interviewed 4 companies. One was upfront that I did not have the minimum requirement of space for their system. One suggested I call another company, knowing there were two to check out. I guess he knew that I would not meet their minimum but did not suggest the other.

      One company was completely unscrupulous. Did everything on a back of a sheet of paper, started 5x more and then haggled down.. asking how much could you afford? Really sleazy! I do need the systems and am working with the company that came in suggested I call another different one, but will not order until I have the door construction completed so the system can be properly installed. Stannah and Leaf are nightmare companies!

      Elaine, we’re sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience. We do want to provide some additional context and clarify what occurred.

      Your home presented a unique challenge, with both staircases and landings measuring approximately 28 inches wide. After surveying the stairs, our representative identified a potential solution for both lifts that required carpentry work, as discussed and documented during your in-home visit.

      We also want to clarify the deposit. You signed contracts for both stairlifts and provided your credit card information. A $1,200 deposit was processed for each system, totaling $2,400. We understand that there was a misunderstanding regarding the total deposit amount, and we sincerely regret any confusion or frustration this caused you.

      The following day, you reached out with additional questions and requested changes to the proposed installation. Our team explained that certain changes could not be made due to safety requirements. You then requested to cancel both orders, which we honored. Both installations were canceled and the full amount was refunded to your credit card the following morning.

      We understand that the proposed solution ultimately was not the right fit for your home. We take safety and accessibility seriously and respect your decision not to move forward. We wish you the very best in finding a solution that works safely and comfortably for you.
