I had a stairlift and it was broken. I got another one from Stannah. Everything went fine with the sales visit because the guy, being a salesman, just told me what I wanted to hear. But then when it came the actual time, he couldn't deliver. I needed the chairlift to get from one floor to the other floor. Being 78 years old and with a walker, I definitely needed that chairlift. By me prolonging it another week didn't help anything. The installer finally came a week later, and installed the chairlift. He didn't give me very good directions because I kept having problems with it. It's working fine now. I called the salesman back up again, and then he walked me through it. The machine works very good.

I'm taking care of my 96-year-old mom and we have 15 stairs. Until about three months ago, she could handle it but she can't anymore. I just looked on the internet and I saw Stannah Stairlifts. Their rep did a great presentation and the stairlift folds up great and has the remote button for the seat that comes out. The track is enclosed. It looks pretty good and we've had it, and it's working great.
Stannah's salesperson was very thorough, gave a good presentation and showed us the difference between some of the others out there. This one might have been a little bit more money, but what it offered was good. The installer worked and did his job, and we chitchatted. He was very good. At the end of this thing, he went over with me and my husband.
Thank you Mary Ann for your Stannah Stairlifts 5-star review. We're glad to hear you received all the information you needed to choose the right stairlift for your needs.

I purchased a Stannah stairlift for my wife when she was alive. The house we were in only had one bathroom and it was upstairs. She was failing, so I got it for her. She never got to ride it because she turned worse and passed away before she could use it. I moved in with my daughter. They put up an apartment and I have to come up a flight of stairs over the garage. I had to have it reinstalled over here, and the gentleman that came and did it did a good job. I use the stairlift when I have to go out. It's good. I'm used to it. I enjoy it and it helps me immensely.
Thank Mr. Richard for taking the time to share your review. We are very sorry for your loss. It's nice to hear that your stairlift is helping you in your new residence.

Stannah installed our stairlift efficiently, and it's working well. Initially, Tony came out to the house. He’s the sales guy. He covered everything. The one thing that surprised me a little bit was that the chair sticks out beyond the frame a little more than I had anticipated. So, its best position is when it's up at the top of the stairs, rather than sitting down at the bottom. It kinda blocks our way a little bit. Given the location of the stairs, I’m not sure if there was any other real alternative. We got the curved model. It started from the inside of the stairs. Quality was good. Stannah has used models, too. I didn't go that way myself but that seemed like an option for somebody who is a little concerned about price.

I was in the need of a stairlift for my mom. Stannah was local and their people showed up when they say they would show up. The salesman was good. The installer was very knowledgeable and cleaned up. Everything was first-class. The stairlift really aided my mother in her recovery and it did exactly what I hoped it would do. But I have to talk to someone because the button that makes the foot lift go up and down doesn't seem to be working. I'm going to need a technician to come out there. Other than that, everything was really good.

The sales visit was very good. The woman was very nice, explained everything to me very well, and didn't try to pressure me. That was very important to me. I want to get the information and then make a decision. Also, the installer was so good. He explained everything very well. I was happy with that. There were features that I liked. The fact that the foot rests, I just have to push a button to get it down so there's no bending over anything, which defeats the purpose of getting it. Also, it turns when I get to the top of the stairs which made me feel safer.
There are two remote controls, one upstairs and one downstairs. And it's quiet. I thought something like that would be a lot noisier, but it's not. It's also important to me that should I lose power, it will still work. And the installer explained to me what to do during a power outage. Also very important to me was the fact that Stannah manufactures what they sell. That they build it, so they know what's going on with it. I have to keep my family from coming over and wanting to take a ride. I made the right choice. I would highly recommend this chair.

Michelle came, gave her speech, and told us where it could go in the stairs. She measured, took pictures, and told us how much. Then the installation got done in half-day and the installers gave the instruction. The quality of the stairlift is fantastic. It’s running well this short time.

I'm not really satisfied with my chair lift. I don't like the way it's installed. When it comes down to the bottom and it stops, I can’t turn it, so I'm crunched for space in order to get out of it and pick up the footrest. It should be able to turn at the bottom the same way it can be turned at the top. Then the installer took the chair lift right to the top of the stairs. I asked him to take it a little bit further than that so I'm not near there when getting out of the chair. But he didn't do that. I had to turn the chair in order to get out of it. Otherwise, I'll be standing on the top step of the stairs.
Thank you, Alice, for your honesty. It is not physically possible to do what you ask regarding the chair at the top of the stairs with a straight stairlift. A curved stairlift would give you the option to continue past the stairs, as the rail can be curved at the top. A two-way powered swivel is available for upgrade. I have forwarded your info to our Service team to discuss this feature with you.

I went with Stannah based on what they offered and I needed to purchase a stairlift. It wasn't an emergency type purchase like some people do. It was just that my mom was with me and she was having trouble with stairs. We have a second floor, and it was either make the decision to do that or move. I decided to go with the stairlift. The installation was probably one of the easiest installations of anything I've ever had done. I wish I had done it years ago. There was just one person, which I was surprised. He kept to himself. It was quick. We haven't had any issues with it. We opted for a used stairlift that we're renting right now. I was afraid that it was gonna have some issues quality wise, and it's great.

The salesman, Jonathan, is good. The installer was efficient too. He kept doing it and finished it all by himself. The quality is very good and we don't want it to go 15 miles an hour, but the way it is, it's too slow. That's the only thing I don't like about it.

My brother met with the sales rep because I was still in the rehabilitation center but I met with the installers. There were two young men that spent all day putting the parts together and putting the chairlift in. They were very nice, friendly and helpful. They were great. I got the curved model. It had to be measured and curved. My stairway takes one right angle turn. So far, so good. It works. I like everything about it. My full-bath bathroom and my bedroom is on the second floor and unless there was somebody who's gonna carry me up the stairs, there was no way I was gonna get up there. Before the chairlift was installed, I was having to sleep in the den on the first floor and use the guest bath, which is only the half bath. So having the chairlift was very important.

I checked online and asked people that had a stairlift. Most people picked another company, but I went with Stannah. There was something about them. They're five stars and all good reviews. When I called, I got a callback right away and we set up an appointment. The salesman who came called and told me he was 10 minutes out. He was a little early. I said, “No worries, I'm stuck in the house anyway.” When he came, he looked at the house and said it was going to be easy. He recommended things to us because we had to have electric put in before he came back. He was a very nice guy. When he left, he immediately emailed me and sent me a nice note.
With my brother's situation here in the home, if he gets any worse, I may have to sell the house, so then, I would want to sell the stairlift. Stannah is the only company that gave any type of a buyback, that they would come in and take it out for me for free. That's the only thing the salesman didn't give me. I wrote to him, and I said, “I didn't get that.” He immediately sent it right back to me. Everything they did, there was never this uneasy feeling. He gave me my extra week to get the electric in too.
With the salesperson who came, the installer came in wearing gloves, a mask, and booties, and worried about my house. I told him he didn't have to put those. He went above and beyond installing the stairlift perfectly. He also wanted to train my brother and he took the time to go up and meet him. He was terrific. The things that I worried about, like would my brother understand? The installer said, “Look, I'll get them to understand it. You don't worry because he'll do it.” My brother is mentally slow and didn't understand. The installer showed him again. It was an absolute pleasure.
The stairlift is streamlined and clean-looking. Even when the installer put the little bit of wire in, he put a nice, little white thing that matched the woodwork. He also put a thing on the doorstep so that if anybody was to come in, and the seat was there, it would stop the door. Things that I didn't even think about. The installer also showed me how the remote controls worked. If I wanted to hang it, he was gonna hang it for me. I didn't need him to do that, but he offered it.
I put a review out there and I rarely take time to do that. I don't think I've ever had such service, from beginning to end, as I did with Stannah Stairlifts. It’s absolutely A-class. I would recommend them to anyone. The chair itself, I love the way it turns. Everything pushes up. It's very easy to use and it was a very simple procedure for my brother to do. We've had the stairlift for weeks now. Thank God, I've had no problems with it. It cleans nicely. I'm 1,000% happy with everything.

Our choice is a stairlift or an elevator. But we couldn't find an elevator that would meet our needs and housing requirements. So we went to the stairlift and Stannah met everything that we needed. The solution was not only satisfactory, but it was economically much better. We went down to the local dealer, and it was an excellent meeting. And then the meeting when Michelle came up to measure was excellent.
We asked Stannah to press on quickly when it was becoming obvious that we needed it with a little more urgency than we originally thought when we ordered it, and they were very accommodating. They made an arrangement to come out almost immediately and install it, and the installation was very effective. The system was explained well to us and we were very happy. We're very comfortable with the stairlift. It took a little getting used to. There's a curvature to the staircase, and you're not used to going up that way. But it only took a day or two until we were comfortable.

I have some crushed nerves in my back and because of my age, they won't operate on them. So, I was having trouble going up and down the stairs. My bathroom’s on the second floor, so I got a straight Stannah stairlift. Their representative was very good, courteous and knowledgeable and the installer was excellent. I love the stairlift. The quality is good. The cost of 150 a month is a little high. But I'm probably only gonna use for the six months anyway. So, right now, it's exactly what I need.
The Stannah stairlift is an excellent product. But the only thing I'm a little upset about is that there's no basket that I can put a pad, pencils, or a cup of coffee in. I'm alone most of the time and if I want to go upstairs, there's nowhere for me to bring anything with me. You’re holding the button to go up, so you only have one free hand and it’s hard to bring something with you. Then you have to have a place to put it once you get to the top of the stairs. It's tough to hang anything. So there must be somewhere where you could carry something up with you.

I looked on the internet and I was looking for somebody that could show me something locally, and I found Stannah had a mini showroom here in Hamden. The salesman and installer were both excellent. The straight stairlift fits very well. The way you have the bottom track retract and extend turned out to be an important thing. We have a very narrow opening at the base of the stairs, and that was a good feature that I discovered after I looked into Stannah. And the fact that it's powered. Some companies, it's a manual device to do the similar equivalent function.
Take advantage of an actual demonstration, either in the mini operation here in Hamden or up at your main headquarters. Because it's not one, two, three in your brain to do everything that you need to do. I wonder if some people might have difficulty with the complexity of operation or the needed strength to operate the up and down switches. So, if you need, you can get exposed to it. I also was concerned about getting off of the chairlift and learned something about the turning of the chair and that access. So, get some hands-on even with a high recommendation.
Thank you Paul for such a detailed review. Our automatic retractable rail is a big differentiator; and we're glad you it is serving you well. We agree completely with your comments on the value of a showroom visit. Thank you again for your kind words.

I had three different companies come out, take a look and measure it up, and give me a price and the finer points of their product. All three companies were very professional. Nobody was pushy and everybody was factual. I looked at the features of the Stannah versus the other ones. Stannah was the most expensive of the three but it seemed to be the one that made the most sense so I picked it. I got a straight model.

We had an excellent sales rep from Stannah. We got a straight chairlift and the installation impressed me. The service person was very polite and clean. He never left a speck of dirt anywhere when he was done. From what other people have told me, the other brands are nowhere near as nice as this Stannah. And if you order from one certain company, they don't install. You have to hire an installer besides the cost of the chairlift.
Our chairlift is very nice and excellent in quality. It's very comfortable to take us up the stairs and it's very easy to operate. There's no fear to it whatsoever. My husband has used the stairlift more than I have. He had a sore leg one day and he couldn't climb the stairs other than on the chairlift. I used the chairlift a couple of times. I have rheumatoid arthritis and if a day comes that it hits me on my legs, I'm definitely going to use it more.

I needed a stairlift for my mom. She had a knee replacement surgery two years back and she has issues with climbing upstairs. We have Stannah and it's fine. The installer took a bit of time but he did the job well. It's just that there was a thing that was attached at the time of installation which was not so tightly attached so that keeps on falling and the armrest has been falling.

The installer told me that it would take about five hours for the installation but it took way over that, about eight hours. But the quality of the stairlift's been good. I haven't had any issues with it. I originally bought the less expensive chair, but I found it too obtrusive in my small stairway. So then I upgraded to a folding chair. It's still obtrusive in the stairway. But we're dealing with it.
Thanks Amy for your review. We apologize for any miscommunication, our installers do try to give their best time estimate for installations. The ability of the seat and armrests to fold on the Siena versus the Scout is certainly less obtrusive and should give you plenty of room to walk by when not in use.

My wife broke her leg about five years ago. We live in a two story cape so there was no way to get her upstairs. So I went online searching for stairlifts and Stannah was the better chair to buy so we purchased it. Subsequently, this summer, she tripped and fell and broke the same leg upstairs. So while she was able to get up and down through the house with a stairlift, she was unable to get from the landing to the garage floor to get into the car. We were just using a ramp system. So now that she's walking again, we decided to get a second chair from Stannah.
I like the stairlift because of the service behind it. I've never had an issue when I've called for service. Someone's always been here. So it was kind of highly rated that way. I've had the other chair serviced a couple times for various problems and I've never had to wait longer than 24 hours to have someone show up and fix it. Stannah is the best chairlift you can buy because my neighbors have the other brands and they kind of look cheap. My father-in-law lives in Michigan and we told him to get a Stannah chair and he bought one.

They asked us about the installation and where the stairlift was going to be. Then they came out and recommended the model that we need to install. We initially picked an older model but they recommended a new one because it saved more place. We got the straight model and my mother is okay with it. Sometimes, it tends to reset a little bit, which she was going to call the company at some point about that. She sends it down after going up for the night because there’s more room on the base of the staircase. But it wouldn’t come back up again. So it has to have somebody open the door and hit one of the buttons. Then it resets itself and it moves. It happened twice out of a month of operation now.

I wanted to get the steel rail for the Stannah Stairlift that is like an anodized color. I asked the installer and the salesperson if he had one piece of it as a sample because the white stanchions that hold the rail in place are unattractive. This is because I have a body shop that does car repairs and they can match the color to be able to get me paint so I can paint the white stanchions to blend in with the rail. The rail would be less pronounced as it disappears into brown very nicely whereas white kinda says "Here I am". Also, the stairlift takes away some of the exercise we need in this COVID problem. Still, it's almost like an amusement park right. But, instead of beep, beep, beep, it should have something more like a merry-go-round music to it. Other than that, we're very very happy with the stairlift. It goes up and down the way it's supposed to.

Our stairlift from Stannah is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. It's moving my wife from point A to point B and back again. I went on the internet, and I wasn't even sure because we were looking for something temporary. And I wasn't sure if there was such an animal, and we'd find out at least with Stannah, you can rent a staircase for a minimum of six months, which we did. We were happy with that. In fact, yesterday, for the first time, just to play it on the safe side, I shut the power off in fear of maybe during the night, we might lose power, and I didn't want to drain the battery. But we did not. I turned the switch on in the morning and my wife’s been using it with no problems at all.
The rep was very helpful on the phone. He was giving me the information. Then, we had someone come down who was part of the sales, and he gave me the price and all the particulars. He did an excellent job. Then two young fellas came on November 2nd and installed it. They were excellent. They were neat and knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for better people to come. One was relatively new and one had a few years under his belt who is kind of like the supervisor. But they worked hand in hand. They did it within four to five hours and took me through the motions. We’re right now still in the process, using it daily. We're hoping that my wife won't have to. She's not really a true invalid. She just had some blood clots and they didn't want her to use the stairs.
We're going to play it by ear now. Come the end of six months, do we buy it and just have it stored away, or do we return it? That is kind of up in the air with us at this point. While it’s being rented, we're under warranty. Should I purchase it, I lose the first six months of the warranty because I had it during the rental. I know all that upfront and what it would cost on an annual basis if we were to keep it installed for both warranty on parts and labor. In fact, when my wife was in rehab, the rehab people were giving her some company. When she told them that we're renting it for six months, apparently, they were interested, and we gave them Stannah's name and phone number.
I use the product once or twice when I'm really lazy. But when I go to bed, I let my wife go up first. The way it's set, to get my body through without making a tumble down the stairs, I have to flip up the foot pad, and swivel the chair the other way, lift the arms up so that it gives me a little bit more room just to go up the last few steps up the top of the stairs. Downstairs, there's no problem, because coming down, I use that foot as the last step, and that's not a problem. But I don't think there's anything that could be done to make it any better. In the morning, when I get up, I pass the stair, and then I swing everything back into position, set the foot pad down, and just proceed down the stairs and wait for my wife to get up. She then just sits in it, swings and hits the button, and she comes down with no trouble.
I would give the product's quality a triple-A. I found out that the manufacturers are over in England, and it's a well-built thing. We haven't had a glitch at all with it. We haven’t called for service. We’re very pleased with it. The only thing was I was quoted $1,500 for the rental, and when the person who came took his tape measure on, he realized that they had to go an extra rail. So, it was 1,600. But it was no big deal. That wasn't even a glitch. When I described over the phone how many steps I had, I was quoted 1,500. But when the salesman physically came down and he saw it, they knew that they had to piece an additional rail to make the 15 steps with just a straight run. Stannah is a good product.

I don't think my mom really cares for the stairlift because it is a pain. It beeps a lot, and to swivel is very hard for my grandparents. So, we have to do it for them. It's not really user-friendly for older people who are disabled because they can't turn themselves. So, the swivel part is a pain. Half the time, they don't even use it. My mom is with them, and half the time I have to run over to do it or she'll just walk them up the stairs. I don't think my mom's gonna keep that thing for long. At 90 something years old, they try to go up and down the stairs themselves. The swivel part just doesn't make sense. It should be an easier way to turn when you're up the top of the steps. It's very heavy, and it's hard to do, because they don't have the upper body weight to move themselves.
Hi Isadora,
We're sorry to hear that the stairlift has not been working out for your grandparents. We'd like to explain the reasons behind some of the issues that you've been experiencing and hopefully we can work towards a solution for you. Firstly, in terms of the installation, the model you selected has a retractable rail, which raises and lowers to clear space at the bottom landing for a door or walkway. Stairlifts with this feature take longer to install than our standard straight rails, but we apologize that it took up most of your day. The retractable rail feature is also the cause of the beeping that you've been noticing. The beeping is a required safety feature to alert others when the rail is in motion. Unfortunately, we cannot turn off or remove that sound.
While we can't do anything about the beeping noise, we do have a powered swivel option that may help. With the powered swivel, your grandparents can just continue to hold the joystick when they reach the top of the stairs and the chair will swivel automatically. The manual swivel is a workable option for some, but the powered swivel can really make a difference for many people who struggle with turning onto the top landing. Please give us a call. We can look into retrofitting your family's stairlift and making it a viable solution going forward. We appreciate you choosing us and we want to do everything we can to make this work for you and your family.

The experience with Stannah was good. The man that came the first time and the other one when I added the swing around were very nice. However, there's this little hump that happens once in a while and they said to not worry about it. The cost was 4,500 then another $500. I thought that other $500 would have made it easier for me to turn around but I have to still move my leg to get upstairs. For $500, it would have been better if it would have turned more to the left when you get to the top instead of me having to move my leg. That was the most difficult part and that was what I was disappointed in. I could have done it manually and I didn’t have to spend another $500. The guy explained it to me and I thought it was going to come all the way around then all I had to do was lift myself up.
It’s easier when you go downstairs. It's easy to pull up where my feet are then I have a walker down there when I get off. But I’m grateful for it. It gives me the ability to be able to go down and I can go out knowing that I don't have to do the steps anymore. I was very fearful of going out because I knew I had to come back and do the steps again. But I don't have to worry about that now. I go down, I come back, and I know the stairlift is gonna be there.
Hello Marie, Thank you for your review and feedback. A power swivel removes the need to use your feet to push yourself in order to turn, but since the chair moves separately from the footrest you will still need to lift your feet to follow your body and step off the stairlift. Another benefit of the swivel is the ability to turn the chair remotely when calling it. If you have any questions or concerns please give us a call. Our customer care number is: 1-888-272-4327.

But they did come back within a couple of days and fix it. I'm probably getting another one for the outside stairs.

The stairlift is good for somebody who is trying to help themselves. My patient gets in it and it's very user-friendly for her. She hasn’t had any complications with it. She needs the stairlift to go up and down the stairs, to move her better in her home. It fits her perfectly. There’s still room to maneuver for people like me that’s helping her. It’s wonderful and is the best option for her. When she’s a little lower on the energy side, we’re able to help her with the remote on the wall.
Thank you Ruby for taking the time to provide a review for your patient's Stannah stairlift. We are so glad it's such a benefit to you as a caretaker in providing the best care possible for her.

The commissioners at Stony Point Fire Department mentioned Stannah and we went with it. The rep was very nice, very quick and clean. You wouldn't have known anybody was in the house except for the device. He did mention where we wanted the cord and you couldn’t even tell there is a cord there. There was some kind of a device he put around the corner to shadow the cord. He was super and made my mother comfortable. It was a pleasure. My mother who is 98 loves everything about the stairlift. The first time she got on it, he showed her what to do and she was up and down in no time. Thanks to Stannah helping the elderly and working things out.

Stannah was substantially more expensive but their service after the sale got really high marks. The whole reason you buy a stairlift is so it works. If for some reason it doesn't, then you need someone to get out there and fix it. Their reviews were stellar. Acorn and a couple of the others didn't get great reviews on service that's why we picked Stannah.
They were clean workers and seemed to know what they were doing. They put the stairlift up and it works fine. I was very satisfied with how everything went until it started messing up a little bit. We started having a problem with the retractable rail that comes up out of the way of a doorway. Every time the chair goes up and down, that folds up or folds down, and it started sticking and causing the chair to stop. We called Stannah and they had someone there the next day and got it taken care of. So far, it seems to be fine. It works as advertised and appears to be a real good quality unit. My wife has a lot more mobility now because of it and that was the whole idea of getting it.
Thank you Rob for your review. We're sorry for the inconvenience caused by your rail and happy to have been able to quickly resolve your issue. We wish you and your wife many more years of mobility with your Stannah stairlift.

They were good people. They answered my questions and came as expected. The guy was always responsive. He answered my questions even though I didn’t think it was always correct. He was probably correct in what he could provide and I didn't get the answer that I wanted always but I understood. He did answer me truthfully as he knew it. The price was a little higher than their competitors but the quality was as expected. It's been a tremendous help for me because of my legs. However, the stairlift barely fits in the stairwell. I also wish it would turn to a complete 90-degree angle when it reaches the top of the stairs. I've never gotten over paranoia of getting on it to come back down.
Thank you Tom for your honest feedback. Stannah stairlifts have one of the slimmest profiles when folded compared to other brands and are tested to a much higher weight capacity than industry standards. Rest assured you are safe when getting in the seat at the top of the stairs. The smaller angle when turning is actually a result of thoughtful design and a safety feature to prevent inadvertently pinching your arm or hand in between a wall and the chair. We are glad to have been able to help you get up and down your stairs.

My father-in-law is 81 years old. We got an indoor stairlift from Stannah. The sales rep was great. Right now, the stairlift is just around the stairs and midway. But it works. The only thing is they could make some controls a little bit easier, and put some little directions on the thing itself instead of having to find a booklet. Because when I got home, my brother-in-law who installed it couldn't explain how to use it. So, I did the trial-and-error part. It would have been a hell of a lot easier if there was a little notation thing written on this side of it or something that you could just, “Oh, there it is. That's how you use it.”

They came in, they did their assessments and it fitted more in line with what we were thinking would be needed. They were comparable prices as well. The reps were all very polite and professional. They listened to our needs and they made constructive suggestions. They had to do some additional measuring at one point. They double-checked everything and it all went smoothly, from the guy who came out to do the original first lot of measuring up to the guys coming in to do the final fit.

Everything that Stannah Stairlifts said, they did. Purchasing was easy and the fellow who sold it to us installed it for 15 years before he started to sell, so he was very knowledgeable of the product. For the installation, they came on the day they said they were going to come and at that time, they sent three guys to install the stairlift. We got sort of the deluxe package and it took them three hours to install it. But it looks exactly like the drawing we saw, before they sent it over to be built. And it runs smoothly. We've had no problems with it and we like it.
We also had one other company come and the salesperson didn't seem fully knowledgeable about their product. He didn't have a good selling technique and he didn't convince us that his product was A1. It costs about the same as our Stannah but my wife and I didn't like their system. This stairlift that we got seemed much more robust. It's the curved one and it feels wonderful. When I go upstairs, there's a remote control where you can send it downstairs with nobody in it and I like the idea that you can put the arms up. Plus, it seems to have all kinds of safety features in it and it won't let us do anything that is really hurtful. I'd tell others to come and try it out.

My partner had a stroke so we needed to have some help getting up the stairs. We went with Stannah because they were cheaper and their stairlift has the sleeker look to it. The sales guy was not so great. He was kind of vague about the timeline, what was gonna happen and how it was gonna happen. He also had the information wrong. He discouraged us from getting it because he didn't think it was gonna be possible to do when it was very possible. He also said that he couldn't do any of the stuff related to the permit guy. When we got the permit guy for the town, he said, "We usually go through the sales guy, not through you.” It was very confusing about who was supposed to get the permit and how that was supposed to happen.
It was a long wait to have it installed but it was probably with COVID going on. The guys who came to install it did a great job. They were fast and efficient. The stairlift allowed us to stay another couple of years in the house. If we didn't have it, we would have to sell the house. We would have to move out. I liked that the stairlift was sort of folding up so it didn't take up a ton of space. The arms and the foot rests folding up is a good thing. I wish it went a little bit faster than it does but I can understand why that needs to be probably a little slow. One of the things that would be great if it could happen is if you're not sitting in the chair, like you're down below, and you're calling for the chair, if it could come faster without a person on it. But besides that, it's fine. It’s about two minutes, thirty seconds to come down.

After paying over $5,000 for a piece of equipment, I am wondering what would happen if down the road something happened to it. It’s working all right now but it’s kinda leaving a bad taste in my mouth after having two visits. The visits were about one week apart. I thought the company was a very good one but if they forgot to put a fuse in it, what else did they forget that might not show up until later on? I'd have this and my warranty would be gone. What would I do in a case like that? Another thing is it's doing its job but it's making a lot of noise when it goes up and down the stairs.

My husband has not been outside the house for over a year because he couldn't get down the steps. He was a prisoner in our own home. We even had to cancel all the doctor appointments. Then COVID hit. I looked on the internet to try to find someone that could come to meet our needs. We had another company before that gave us an estimate for the stairlift, but we didn't follow through with it because it was very expensive, although we needed to have it done. Stannah Stairlifts is still very expensive. They came out and so far, have been meeting our needs. He's able to go to the doctors’ offices now. Although with COVID, there really isn't any place to go, but at least I can get him into the chair and down the steps, then transfer him from the stairlift into the wheelchair to get him to the vehicle, so that we can at least go for a ride and get some fresh air.
The salesman was very nice, informative, and he was all masked up for COVID. He didn't pressure us to purchase anything. We made the decision, and we called and said we were going forth with it. He said because it was a custom order ‘cause it has to wrap around the wall, it took about four and a half weeks. The gentlemen who installed it were very pleasant and they did everything. When they were done, the guy said something to me about putting a spring on the door ‘cause it wrapped around right where the front door is. I didn't know what he was talking about.
About a week afterwards, I realized that the rail was impeding opening the door all the way, which could be a fire hazard. In an emergency where we would need to evacuate, we would need to get that door to open all the way. I called Stannah and the salesman came out to look at it. Then, they sent out an individual a week later. Unfortunately, he came out by himself and he said that he was not comfortable doing it alone. He would have someone help him, so we set up another appointment. A week later, two guys came out and put a spring on the door. Now, the door opens all the way and it's been working fine.
We had an issue over the weekend. Our electricity kept popping. I went downstairs to check the circuits and when I was sitting downstairs after I flipped the switch, I saw this white flash and I thought it was coming from the stairlift itself. I got nervous, so I called Stannah on a Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A gentleman called me back. He said he was concerned and that he would come out as it sounded like a safety issue. We are in Enfield, Connecticut it's an hour and 10 minutes or so drive for him on that day. He came and I showed him what I was talking about. As soon as I popped the switch, he realized that it was not the stairlift.
We had an electrical box on the ceiling and the white flashes were coming from that because he saw that metal was touching the wire box. He was not an electrician, but he didn't want to leave us in a risky situation. He turned the power off and moved the wire. He told us that we could leave the power off until we get an electrician, and we needed to get one sooner than later. He didn't charge us for that visit, which was fantastic. He left and I proceeded to call electricians, and I got it fixed this morning. So, the experience with the Stannah personnel overall has been wonderful.

Then he explained to me in detail how to use it, which was helpful. I would recommend them highly. I like the fact that it turns when you get to the top of the stairs because it makes it easier to get out.

The night before Valentine's Day, I managed to fall down a very steep flight of stairs and wound up with a broken neck. So, everybody made a decision that I was not gonna climb stairs anymore. I stayed in our first floor apartment where our niece is living while she goes to school. Then I moved back up to the second floor the day after the stairlift was installed. It fits into my new lifestyle very well. I was shown how to use it after they were done. My husband interacted with the installers and found it very satisfactory.
My favorite feature is that the footrest is exactly the right height. It makes me feel very safe. The stairlift allows me to go down to the first floor and then I can go out on the deck and walk around. It is very slow going up and going down. I wish it was slightly faster. But I do like the fact that when it runs into a dog, it stops. We have four dogs around and none of them has been the least alarmed. If you have need of a chairlift, Stannah is a very good deal.
Thank you Mary for taking the time to write a review. We are very glad to hear you are safely going up and down your stairs now with your Stannah stairlift.

My wife has problems walking and we live in a split-level ranch house. It was very difficult for her to go downstairs and upstairs. I did some research about chairlifts and I called a few places and got prices. It seems that other brands are made in other countries and I decided to go with Stannah. I bought a chair and they installed it right away. The person who came to install it was very well-trained, very knowledgeable, and showed us how to use it. We bought it in June and my wife used that chair for a month. Unfortunately, she passed away in July. But we were very happy with the few times that we used the chair to get to the hospital. It was solid and good with well-built instruments. I'm an engineer and I could see that it was a well-put chair. Also, it was very smooth and easy to operate with the platform for the feet.

I was looking around for a chairlift and I came across the Stannah name. I did a little research and they responded very well to me. Their sales reps were very accommodating and came to the house and talked to me, whereas some of the others just had me describe the situation and never came to the house. I got two straight stairlifts and they fit in nicely in my home. My wife isn't happy with them because she doesn't like the looks, but they're doing fine. When they were installed, the installers did their work promptly and got the job done. They demonstrated how to use it once and I got it right away. So far, my stairlifts are working well and I'm very happy. They do the job and that was what I needed. I feel a little older because I have to use one, but other than that, I have no problem.

My wife is disabled and she can't climb stairs. I have three stairlifts. One is outside, one goes from the first floor down into the sunken living room, and another goes from the first floor to the second floor. They've been wonderful and the cost is reasonable. But for some reason, I cannot find the two controls that control the outside stairlift.
The outdoor stairlift is straight. It's only about five or six stairs. The inside one from the first floor down into the living room is three stairs. And the one going upstairs is a double-curve. It curves around from the kitchen to the stairwell, up the stairs and around to a loft. The original installation of that one was a disaster because it was designed wrong and it wouldn't go around the corner. They installed it, tried it, and took it right back out. It took a month for them to get it remade properly. But it works now. I kinda designed things that way so the stairlifts do not get in the way. The only problem is the outside one that’s on the upper end is too high so my wife has a hard time getting into it. The seat is maybe two inches too high. What we have to do is not bring it up all the way then place her into it. It's because she's too short.
Regarding the stairlifts, I thought my grandchildren would have a lot more fun with them if I don’t. I would recommend Stannah to friends but I would also tell them about the problem that I had with the one stairlift that was designed wrong. But the stairlift came just in time for my wife to come home from the rehab. It was touch-and-go there. Another thing is that the reps didn’t tell me how not to lose the remote controls.
Thank you Joe for your feedback! We apologize for the inconvenience of having to wait for another stairlift, and are glad to have been able to correct your installation. In speaking with our service department, we have scheduled your seat adjustment. You may be glad to hear, you did not lose the outdoor remotes. Stannah outdoor stairlifts do not come with remotes as they have stationary posts from which you can call the lift.

I have arthritis, and that makes it difficult in the knees to go up and down steps. I wanted to get a stairlift. The sales visit with Stannah was very good. The rep was excellent. In fact, I purchased a second stairlift, and it wasn't the same representative. But the experiences are very good. I found them informative and they weren't pushy.
The installers were good, and particularly with the virus because I'm overly protective here. I got indoors stairlifts. They're straight, but one has a retractable track. They’re two different models because they're several years apart. I like the second one better. It has a button that retracts this thing that you would put your feet on and it goes up and it retracts the track. It's simple to use. Stannah's quality is very good. It really helps the pain in my knees. It's pricey, but when you consider your choices and when it's helping you to hopefully do, you just pay what they're asking.

We've had our Stannah stairlift for a month now, and it's doing the job it's supposed to. So far, it's reliable, so I'm quite pleased with it. There were several companies, and I'd heard about Stannah Stairlifts from some people. I checked the others, though. They're all about the same price but Stannah had at least the reputation that I had tapped into. I dealt with Tony, and he operates out of the Franklin office. We spent some time. He's a nice guy and very explicit and explained a lot of things. My interactions with him worked out very well.
Our stairlift is fine for the particular setup that we have. It takes a part of the staircase, but not all of it, so we can still come up and down. Those of us who are still walking freely can do that. There will become a time if we move out, moving furniture would be an impediment then. At that point, we're probably required to take it off. But in the meantime, everything is fine. I'm gonna have the annual maintenance checkup. I hope to get a number of years of use out of it.

My mother had a stroke and she needed a stairlift. I called a couple of places and I talked to that guy from Stannah. I was working with two guys and that guy told me I could lease it. And if I liked it, I could buy it. I just leased it for now. However, I wish I got a stairlift that went around the corner because she really can't get down the stairs. But the other issue is it doesn't lie flat on the top of the stairs. The chair hangs over the stairs. It should be level with the hallway and it's not. I called last week and I asked someone to call me back because I said it doesn't sit right at the top of the stairs. It's not on a flat surface for my mother to get on it. And then, I wish I got one that went around the corner, but I didn't. I got one just to go down the stairs. But from there, there are only three steps but I'm unable to get her down. I got the one that curved.
Stannah told me someone would call me back. They also said they called the main company and they would have someone from my district area call me back. They took my name, number and information, but nobody ever got back to me. The stairlift has been installed for a month. My mother just used it the first time two weeks ago. She couldn't walk. So, when she has to turn back and sit on the stairs, it's not a practical thing. It's hard for her because she can't get on it easily to go down the stairs because it's not level. I wish the salesperson insisted that I got the one to go down the three steps because she can't do those last ones. Other than that, it's okay. The stairlift itself is nice if it was installed properly and the right one was recommended.
Thank you Susan for your feedback. It is our understanding that the curved stairlift was not feasible. It is normal to have the chair stop when the footrest is flush with the top stair to prevent tripping and make it easier and safer to get off and on. The chair is made to support up to 350lbs.

My wife has a knee problem. Stannah was located close by and I was able to visit the showroom. The sales representative was good. I made the call to have someone come over to look, and he did. He knew the product. He explained a lot. I don't grasp that quickly, but he explained it. And then, he gave me two options, I made a decision on one, and then I made the decision to purchase.
The stairlift fits well there. It's not what I had envisioned because I thought it might go up a little higher and a bit closer to the wall. But we have a railing. Maybe if I were to remove the railing, but I didn't know if that would have any effect. Also, we did not have the outlet in the wall the day that the installers came. I must have misunderstood because I thought they would come and measure, and then come back to install. But they did both of those at the same time.
Then, I called the office two days later, after the electrician came. They were supposed to cover the wire with some sort of plastic cover. I gave them that message that everything was ready because the installer indicated on the work order that the plastic wasn't done over the plug because the outlet wasn't there. That hasn't been covered yet, even though I called to service. Maybe things went a little faster than I grasped because you have to understand, people who perform these duties on a day in, day out basis know exactly what to look for.
The other thing was, I had another question on the lift on the bottom. When they go up the steps, they have blocks that go every other step. In my eye, it looks like there is one missing, but it might be that it's not needed there. Also, I understand the chair doesn't do a 45-degree turn. It's maybe 40-degree, so that's okay. But other than that, it's working well.

We had a particular curved application and they are way more expensive on the straight applications. When I researched it, the curved applications were pretty close to one another. And with Stannah, they install. That was a big factor. Their price includes installation. The salesman who came out measured in a professional manner, and sat down with my wife and myself and ran us through the cost of various things. We ended up installing four stair shares - one from Stannah and three from another company. Stannah was not competitive with the other three. They were competitive with the curved one.
The installation guys on day one were great except that they forgot to program my remote control. So they had to come back two or three times to get that sorted out, which just happened last week. It's okay now, but it was a little bit of a back and forth. It was a little bit of a hassle. Compared to the other three that I put in, the upper weight limit of the Stannah chair is about 100 pounds less. It's only 250 pounds. Now, for my dad who's using it, he only weighs 220 so we have a 30-pound margin. The other one goes up to 350. So Stannah’s product is a little bit too light as far as the load capacity. Other than that, it’s fine. Stannah makes a good product. It's a quality product. It looks like it's gonna be durable.
Thank you Kevin for your honest feedback. We are sorry for any inconvenience you experienced after installation but glad to have been able to correct your issue.

We're sorry that your client is unhappy with his stairlift installation.

We did research on stairlifts. We had a couple of different companies, Acorn, Stannah, and another come up. With Stannah, they had some options that other companies didn’t have. The biggest seller was the motorized foot rest that would go up. So that way my mother didn’t have to transition, even though the distance was only a couple inches. Still, when she stood up she was on the ground, she would be walking. My mom has MS and neuropathy and a couple different things so that was the biggest seller. I was there for the sales visit and it was professional, courteous and informative.
The only thing I don’t like is they told me that there were two stairlifts. So the one going into the basement, they told me that to power it, they would run the cord up through the rafters in the basement and go over to an outlet over near the circuit breaker panel. They didn’t do it. They ended up taking a shortcut. The only reason I’m not happy about it is where it’s plugged in, I have to constantly unplug and plug in my work bench light. But who really cares?
