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. If you have any questions or need further assistance please don't hesitate to call us. Otherwise, we're glad to hear you stairlift has been performing well.

I talked with the installer briefly and he seemed knowledgeable and a nice kid. Seeing parts of the stairlift being installed right before my eyes, it appeared to be a quality system that he was putting in. I didn't see the final product other than through some pictures. But it sounds like it's fulfilling my tenant's need. She's enjoying it now being able to get from first floor to second floor.

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.
Thank you Kevin for sharing your story. We are sorry to hear of your wife's injuries and glad to have been able to provide a reliable and safe solution for your stairs. We're honored to have you as a repeat customer and grateful that you have recommended us to your family.

We like that Stannah is based locally and provides support if the stairlift breaks. I looked at another stairlift that’s comparable, but they're based out of Florida. My experience with the sales agent of Stannah was very pleasant. The sales agent was very nice and very informative. The installation guy was great too. They installed it in 24 hours. The stairlift fits in fine in the stairwell. It's reliable and the quality is very good. It hasn't given us any problems. My wife's comfortable on it, so that's an important thing.

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. But other than that, everything went smooth.

I was impressed with the rep of Stannah. He seemed like a very honest and very capable person. He didn't push. He didn't give me any pressure to buy, he just gave me the facts. The stairlift fits very well. The thing was very smooth for the first day or two. Then for some reason, it developed this shaking as I went up to certain parts of the stairs. It was not slipping, but it felt like it should be tighter. I'm just afraid that it might strip that track.

The sales visit from Stannah and the installation were very good. The only reason I had to call them was that we didn't get a payment book. Other than that, the quality of the stairlift has been good, so far. The straight stairlift fits all right into the stairwell. If you put the arms and chair up, the space fine. I don't have to go up and down steps all day long with it.
Thanks Mary for your five-star review! Payments are automatically processed as is written on your Order Form, no need for invoices or a book. Other than that, we're happy your Stannah stairlift is serving you well!

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. The installer was very thorough and intent on making sure that everything functioned correctly and was in place. He did a very good job. I'd definitely recommend Stannah to a friend.

Stannah's rep knew their product and he wasn't pushy. The installer was a nice guy and he got ours installed very quickly. We like the latch thing coming down to the floor instead of having to go around the corner for the chair. We've had a very good experience with Stannah.

Originally, I was told that the installation would take four to five hours. Instead, it took six or seven. I purchased a chair with a power swivel but the gentleman who installed said there was an issue with the power swivel. The chair as is didn't have it. There is an appointment upcoming this Tuesday but I had to follow up on that. The company was not proactive in following up and letting me know a timetable when the power swivel could be installed. It took weeks to do that and I had to call them at least six times. Other than that, the installers were great. The stairlift has been working fine.
Thank you Mr. S. for your honest feedback. We apologize for any miscommunication you may have experienced. You would have received information on both our curved models, each with their own timeline, se we can see where there may have been confusion. Our sales rep did communicate ahead of time that the powered swivels were not in stock. Unfortunately we were not able to schedule the installation of the powered swivel until it arrived. Otherwise we're glad you're enjoying your stairlift.

The sales visit and installation of our stairlift went fine. One guy came to install it and he took about three hours. He did a great job and it's very sturdy. When he was done, he showed me how it works. It's not in the way at all and we've been able to use it. We like the way it turns. When my mother gets up to the top of the step, she can lift the handle up, turn her body and it sets her right on the top landing. It also has a remote at the top and at the bottom which is very good. If the stairlift stays up, my mother forgets we can remotely bring it down also. It works very well.

As far as we're concerned, there is no other stairlift. For years, we were saying, “We need to get a Stannah stairlift.” With COVID, my interaction with the sales rep was very brief. He wasn't here longer than five minutes and I already had my mind made up anyway, so there was no selling. Installation was seamless as well. I have a straight stairlift and I'm absolutely happy with it. It's perfect. It's made life easier too. It takes 51 seconds from the first floor to the second and that's all we needed. Stannah is a great company. They make sure that everything is to your liking from start to finish and they're very COVID-cautious. I have also recommended them to my friends, but unfortunately, they don't think they need it yet.
Thanks Lori for taking the time to share your Stannah Stairlift review. We're happy to have been able to make life easier for you as you continue living at home.

My wife got a disability, so we needed the stairlift together. I looked around and found Stannah. We called them, booked the installation, and we were done. Stannah installed the stairlift back in November. There is one thing that they didn't install, which is a door closer. The guy said he would be back, but it has been quite a few weeks. Other than that, the thing works fine. I’d recommend Stannah.

When the rep came, I was working and had to answer phone calls so I really rushed him. But he was wonderful about getting me the information in an abbreviated way. The fellow who came to install the four-stair lift was fabulous. He took his time, explained everything, and showed us how to work it. He answered every question we had and gave us resources if we had questions going forward. We love the stairlift. We also have an Acorn but I like the Stannah way better. I'm satisfied. It made things easier for us to access our whole home. We have an elevated living room, so with the stairlift, the woman who lives with us can now be inclusive and kind of participate in the things we all do. So it's a really nice feature to have that ability for her.

A friend of ours did some research. My wife asked her to do some research and it was good. And she read an article in the Daily News. So, Stannah's publicity is working. The install team was efficient, fast, left without leaving a mark around the work when found. So, very neat on the worksite too, which is always nice. The stairlift was expensive, but I couldn't make the stairs anymore. It's a good piece of equipment. However, I would like the stairlift to be a little faster. You crawl up the stairs on its seat. But it's very smooth. A couple of boys live upstairs. They love to ride it and play with it. I would recommend to anyone who needs it that that is a proper and appropriate help, and quiet, a pleasure to go up and go down. It's nice when things do what they are supposed to.

I like the construction of the Stannah Stairlifts. Their rep presented the options to us and it was very professional. When I decided to go, they took really professional measurements to assure that when they built the rails, it would fit into my stairs. The people that did the installation were excellent. I have a height and distance restriction on my stairs. So the lift I've selected allows me to use the lift if I want to use it because I'm a big man. The stairlift is well constructed and fits our staircase. It's curved and it makes a 180 turn at the bottom of the stairs and a 90-degree turn at the top, runs along the railing. It’s an excellent product and I totally recommend it.

My family member recently came home after being hospitalized for some time. We wanted some assistance with her getting upstairs to her bathroom and her bedroom without the strain on her back.

It’s difficult for my mom to go up and down the stairs. We purchased a Stannah stairlift and the interaction with their sales rep was pretty good although somehow, we miscommunicated at one point. We wanted the lift to be able to park at a different location. But I didn't know the modular one does not allow the chair to be placed at a different location. Because of that, my dad had to go around it when he parked downstairs or upstairs, and sometimes it’s not convenient. Other than that, everything else works fine. We have the stairlift in the house and ours has a 90-degree bend. The stairlift works pretty well and the quality is fine. My mom is using it and she doesn't have any complaints so far.

We needed a stairlift for my mother who is 88 years old and had a knee replacement surgery. We wanted her to be able to go from her living room area to an upper floor where her bedroom was. We did a lot of research and Stannah had the best reviews. We went to their location here in Massachusetts and experienced it in their showroom. They came to the home to first look at the staircase that we wanted to put it on and gave us an estimate of the cost. When we decided we were going to install it, they came back to do measurements. Everything went very smoothly and timely. Everything they said happened when they said it would and how it would.
The stairlift is very high-quality. The chair itself is made well and there's nothing inexpensive about any of it. It makes my mother very happy. She uses it a few times everyday and she feels comfortable and secure. We don't worry about her coming up and down the stairs anymore. We're very happy with our choice as well and we would do it again.

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 got a Stannah stairlift for my grandparents. I went online and somebody called, and I just scheduled for them to come out to give a quote. We got a straight stairlift. The installer took a very long time. He was there for about eight hours. Apparently they gave him the wrong equipment for the chair. He was a nice guy, but he was there for a long time. He did demonstrate how to work the lift.
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.
Sincerely,
The Stannah Team

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. We're glad you can go up and down the steps without worry.

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.
Thank you Christine for your five-star review! It is our pleasure to be able to meet your stairlift needs. We're glad to have been able to help your mom continue being active at 98 years young!

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.”

My significant other and I are both in our late 60s and neither one of us is well-adapted to a flight of stairs. We couldn't go on a vacation this year because the cruises all got canceled so I bought a stairlift. I had four different companies picked out. The salesperson for Stannah was a sweetheart and I liked her. She did her job wonderfully. I spent half of my life in sales so I can appreciate a good salesperson. We got the straight stairlift and it works great. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. The chair itself is a little cheesy but the mechanism seems fine.

We talked about getting a stairlift rather than move which will still allow us to remain in the home we love. Everything with Stannah Stairlifts worked from day one. The team during the installation was very good. They're a young man and an older man. They were very helpful and accommodating. Stannah Stairlifts is very good. I’d give them a high recommendation. I called and left a message and they promptly returned the call. My inquiry was about any way of having the stairlift go a little faster and the answer was, unfortunately, no.

We had a company come in but we weren’t happy with their proposal with how things would be fitted. We heard of Stannah previously, so we decided to give them a shot. 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. We've managed to get it to fit into our house well because both our staircases are not a straight-run standard staircase.

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.

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.
Thank you Victor for taking the time to share your story. We are very sorry for your loss.

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.

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 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?

She ended up in the hospital in January and had the same problem. Then, a couple of weeks ago, she took a fall and had the same problem. I don’t know if the chair is too big for the stairs, but when I got it put in, I asked if the fire department was going to be able to get her out. I was told yes. Stannah told me that the legal was 20 inches. However, they should measure a stretcher at the fire department because 20 inches wasn’t even close to being a safe way to get her out.

She can’t reach to the side and reaches right to the top of the arm. She kept holding it and pushing it either way with her fingers so I couldn’t get her up or down. She would make it go up to the point where my sister finally had to go up the step and hold her hand on her lap. Now, we put duct tape over it. On the opposite hand rest is the on and off switch, which we also put duct tape over. Also, when it’s at the top of the stairs and we’re not using it, I have to put an oven mitt over the arm because the light flashes and alarms her. When she comes down the hall, she thinks it’s broken and wants to fix it. Other than that, everything is working all right.

We like out Stannah stairflift very much. It works smoothly and it never gives us any trouble. The remote works fine and it's just what we expected. It fits perfectly on our staircase, too. My wife loves it because we bought it for her -- she has Parkinson’s, so she needs that. The two guys came in and installed the whole thing in about three hours. They were very professional and we were very happy with their work. Overall, the stairlift helped us ease our life because my wife cannot walk up the steps, so she uses the chair. So, it makes both of our life less stressful.

My wife had liver issues. She became very weak and lost mostly the use of her legs. We have a two-story house and she couldn’t climb the stairs so we had to have a stairlift. The sales rep was wonderful. He convinced me to go with Stannah. He’s very professional and my wife and I were quite pleased with his presentation.
We used our Stannah Stairlift for only less than 10 times before my wife went to the hospital but it was worth every penny. The stairlift was wonderful. Sadly, my wife passed away. Now it’s there. I don’t know what’ll happen if and when I sell the house. I would think people might want to keep it. It wasn’t cheap and it’s handy. Stannah Stairlift was everything we were promised it would be.

Stannah was recommended to me by people I trust and so I got it for my father. The stairlift is working fine and my father is pleased with it. We've had no difficulties with it. The sales reps were quite fine. I expected the cost to be high, and it was. The problem, however, is that you get one overview. When it is installed, it is all explained to you.

I liked the Stannah salesman that I dealt with and the showroom girls. The installation guys really knew what they were doing. I have a complicated staircase, but they managed to go around all the bends. I had gotten one of the new models that they just got in from England. And the stairlift would just take off and go upstairs by itself all of a sudden, A guy came over and was very nice, but I could tell that he didn't really believe me. We were sitting and talking on my sofa, when all of a sudden, the chair took off. He was able to film it and everybody was amazed. He came and put in new parts and it hasn't gone upstairs by itself at all.
I get very short of breath and I used to have to crawl up the stairs like a monkey. I didn't have any trouble going downstairs but I couldn't get up.

We needed a stairlift in the family for somebody who was having trouble getting up the stairs. And because Stannah had the highest quality compared to other providers, I had it put in a year ago. It's a perfect product. It's attractive and you can tell that it's quality and it's safe. There are no loose parts. I had to have it removed, though, because the person who needed to use it was alone and couldn't operate it. I had no trouble getting the stairlift removed, and then, the installers came back and put it in when I needed it. They're a very good company. Their sales rep was excellent and the installation team was perfect. They were very courteous, neat, timely, knowledgeable and skilled.
In today's consumer environment, it's hard to know who to trust and it's hard to find a company that really cares about their customers. Stannah is very trustworthy. They're there for you if there is any problem, which I haven't had any, except that I had to have it removed the first time, but it had nothing to do with the product.

I have an elderly parent and she is having more difficulty getting up the stairs. It was getting to a point where we were afraid she was gonna fall so we decided to go with a stairlift. I did research on manufacturers and found that the track that the Bruno chairlift rides on was a little too heavy-duty. Then I saw photographs of the Stannah with the application that I wanted and decided to go with them. I also did a research on them and found that they've been in business for over 100 years. They used to make lifts and escalators in England. They're also local. I'm in Massachusetts and they have a place in Franklin.
I contacted them and my experience was quick and painless. The woman that I was speaking with was very informative and pleasant. We purchased a used chair, which was a savings of several hundred dollars and I appreciated that very much. She said that the track itself would have to be custom-made because I didn't have a straight staircase. It was done in England and then shipped back to the States. It took four weeks but she tried to put a rush in on a rush order and said that she'll try to get it in in a couple of weeks. But I said that it was fine and the waiting period was reasonable.
My mom was a little apprehensive when we first put her in the chairlift because she was a little afraid of it, not knowing what was going on. But now, she's like a duck to water. She just sits right in it and goes right up the stairs with no problem. But we had an issue when my brother mistakenly grabbed the platform with the footrest and he manually lifted it up. After that, it wouldn't work so they had a technician come down in a couple of days and he repaired it. There was no charge and I was very happy with that, considering it was our fault.

One thing the salesman didn’t do was offer my mother the automated one. I understand there’s an automated option so one can automate the foot rest and it twists towards the landing. We got a straight-up indoor stairlift, from one floor to the next, and she has to manually move the chair when she gets to the top, from where she’s sitting to the step. She struggles sometimes with that so she had wished that they had mentioned about the automated turner when the sales was being done. Otherwise, she’s fine with it and she can function. Also, the top of the stairs is a little crowded, especially if she leaves the chair up there. But then I could press it and then it’s not a problem. The stairlift has very good quality and she feels safe in it.

I needed to have help going up the stairs. The sales visit with Stannah Stairlifts, whom I had talked to a long time ago, was very good. The installation team put the straight stairlift together right away and they showed me how it'll work. It fits fine and goes up and down and that's all I needed.

I went online and the way that Stannah’s website was set up, they seemed like an honest company. I read the reviews, and they were good on them as well. It was a smaller company and it looked like I would be getting more response from them if we had a problem, just from what people said on the reviews. The saleswoman was great. She came and talked to us, and it was a very tight staircase. My mom had had a bad fall and she’s blind, so we needed to be able to get her up and downstairs because she was moving in with me. The lady measured and said it would work. A few weeks later, they called and it was all made.
I had carpeting put in and when the installers came, they asked if the carpeting was here when the lady measured. I said no and that I didn't even take that into consideration. He said not to worry and that they could make a few adjustments. They did and it worked. They were fabulous and hard workers. They had the whole thing in in about three hours. The stairlift is easy to operate. My mother being legally blind, it’s hard for her to see or push a button and this is so simple that she’s able to do it herself, which is probably the best thing because if we’re up in the third or fourth floor, or we stepped out, whenever she needed to get up, she could do it herself.
The quality of the stairlift is very nice, and it’s quiet and nicely-made. It blends in with my décor and it doesn't take up a lot of room when it’s not in use. Stannah Stairlifts was excellent and they were great. The people were professional, thoughtful, patient and showed me and my mother how it works. They also told me to call them if I need anything. The stairlift was expensive and it was a lot more than what we thought, but it’s worth every penny of it. I’m very happy with it.
Thank you Ellen for such kind words. Customer service is high on our list of priorities so we're glad to hear you had a positive experience and are happy with your Stannah stairlift.
Sincerely,
The Stannah Team
