    My mom needed a stairlift, and we were looking online and that’s where I got the price and estimate from Stannah. The rep was courteous and everything was fine. We got the straight indoor stairlift, and it works and fits pretty well. We like the going up feature, and it has the feet rest that comes down automatically. We have the used one, and it works fine even though it’s used. It has helped a lot with the things with my mom. One of her legs was amputated so the stairlift has been a big help for everybody.

    My Stannah Stairlift has certainly been very good. There are a few times when it goes down, it’s not exactly smooth all the way down. But on the other hand, it certainly is not a cause for concern. It did a lot for helping my sciatica pain because I no longer have to use my left leg to go up the stairs, and that’s where the sciatica problem is.

    It was a straight stairlift, the typical height, the typical number of stairs, and nothing in the way. It was just that the guy should’ve brought up the possibility of a used one on his own without me having to ask. He gave me the price of the new one and that was that. When I asked about a used one, he started checking. He also led me to believe that I could get the stairlift installed in a week, and it took two weeks before he was able to get a crew. It was at the latter part of August, a lot of people were on vacation, and I think that’s what caused the delay. The day he gave me turned out to be the correct date they showed up. But he was gonna try to improve that date somewhat, and he wasn’t able to. Even the representative who was here was pretty angry over that. He talked to the secretary, and then he said he was gonna talk to the boss, and so forth, and so on that they couldn't do better than that.

    The installers knew what they were doing although it took a little longer than I had expected for just a straight installation. They had to make a bunch of adjustments and I think that’s what caused them some problems where they had to look into it and make some changes. The stairlift's a used one and it’s possible that it took them a little longer to straighten it out and make it work right. One little thing I would’ve done was that I could've removed the handrail on the one side and put it closer to the one side, instead of having it out as far as it is although that’s not their fault. That’s just something that occurred to me afterwards. But they did a nice job. The stairlift had very few noises and it operates very much like I expected. I was pleased with the installation. It does the job like it’s supposed to.

    I researched on the different companies and I had a few people come out from different companies but Stannah gave the best deal and the best equipment that I could see. It has come in so handy and we're very pleased with it. The people were fantastic and I'm very happy. The installer was very pleasant, professional and friendly. Micky, the one who came out to the house, was wonderful and very nice. We knew sometimes you gotta pay a little more to get the better product. So, we have no complaints. I've had no problems with the machine and we’re very satisfied.

    We liked the appearance of the Stannah stairlift and the backing looked like a better product. The seat had a full back. Also, the weight arrangement seemed to be a better and heavier arrangement for us. Not that we’re heavy, but we thought that was a consideration in it. And we liked the all-around design. We read about Stannah in a report. We checked others and we decided on their product. We also received some kind of information, and there was a discount that was included in the advertisement. So, we presented that to the salesman we dealt with. He was very polite and very understanding.

    The installer seemed like an excellent mechanic, knew very well what he was doing, and was also very professional. I have a little problem with the product though, and we were just thinking about calling. It’s fine, but the seat doesn’t seem to stay up when it’s not in active position. It keeps flapping down so that it doesn’t stay in an up position. You try to put it up and once in a while, it works, but once in a while, it doesn’t. It makes it a little difficult to go downstairs with the seat. We have to hold on to it and put it back or try to put it back. And if it was staying up, it would be much more beneficial. Other than that, we were very pleased with the service, with the installation, and how the unit actually works.

    We got a straight stairlift from Stannah and the installation was fine. The installers worked hard. It was a very hot day and they were sweating. I gave them water and cookies and things like that to keep them going. They did take out all the old stuff. They didn’t leave any of the materials from the old one or any of the packing boxes for the new one. It was just we were concerned the stairs were left in a very bad condition, clean-wise. The installers asked me at some point for that little vacuum. I gave it to them. I as well gave them a dustpan and a brush.

    The stairs are not marble. They’re terrazzo. So, unfortunately, they had to put holes in the terrazzo for the first time. 17 years ago, they couldn’t put the holes in the same spot. They left it very messy with little pieces. But I did tell that to the man who came a couple of days later to see how the job looked. Other than that, everything has gone very well with Stannah. The stairlift seems to be working very nicely and we’re very happy with it. We’re hoping that it will have the same quality of life that the first stairlift we had for 17 years.

    I have a straight stairlift installed by Stannah. The installation team was fine but the guy screwed the call button, which is the button that I push in order for the lift to come to me, right into the wall in a place he didn’t ask me where I wanted it. He shouldn’t have done that without asking me and it’s awful there because I have paintings up there. Anyway, he took it right down but I now have two holes to fill with stuff that would fill the holes. Also, I still don’t know why the stairlift can’t be made even or of what I think it should be. When I get out of the stairlift at the bottom of the stairs, the drop for my feet to get onto the floor below it is not what I'm comfortable with. I don’t have a full place to put my two feet so I have to land on my tippy-toes before I put the pressure on my whole foot. I already talked with Dough and he should have gotten on it last weekend. He said he was going to get back to me but I have not heard from him.

    I've known about Stannah Stairlifts for quite a while and I learned that my neighbor got a couple. I figured that if it was good enough for him, it was good enough for me. I bought a straight stairlift that has a retractable foot on it. The representative who came was very thorough and cooperative. Also, the installer was very thorough, quiet, cooperative and cleaned up after himself. I've had the stairlift a couple of weeks and had to have the track extended on the upstairs side to get the lift high enough so I could get out comfortably. But aside from that, everything has been good.

    My brother and I are renting a Stannah stairlift on a six-month plan for our mom. The cost of renting was just about reasonable. They told me what I had to do on my end, so I had it ready for them. I put an outlet in the bottom of the stairs and adjusted the bottom platform. The installers just had to put the straight stairlift in at that point, which worked out good. We've had it for a month and it has good quality. There are some technical things that elderly people have a problem with. The seat has to be clicked all the way right or the left or the machine doesn't go, and my mom is trying to adjust to it. Also, it'd be good if the seat had tilt, but that would just be more technology for them to learn.

    Thank you for your honest feedback. The Stannah stairlift for straight stairs with manual swivel is designed to remain stationary until the seat front is aligned with the footrest to prevent an inadvertent start and ensure a safe ride. An optional powered swivel is available as an add-on feature that can make turning, storing and calling the chair easier. For safety, our seats are slightly tilted toward the rear. We recommend ensuring your mother is seated as far back in the seat as possible for good measure. If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out to us at: 1-888-272-4327.

    My mother can't get up our stairs anymore. We've seen the different advertisements on TV and in the newspaper about Stannah Stairlifts. I also made a few inquiries about it and the price, which was pretty good. And the plan they had was fine. So, we decided to purchase from them. Their sales rep was informative about everything and we ended up getting the straight stairlift. Any stairway was gonna be kind of thin when we'd be trying to walk up around it but the one that we got suits its purpose. I wish it was moved over a little bit, but you have to leave some room in the back. When it was installed, they finished in about four hours and and it went in smoothly. The railing had to be fastened and screwed into the stairs, then they put the chair in. It goes on the lift and they installed that, too. It has two remotes, one downstairs and one upstairs.

    All in all, it's been a great experience and I can't say enough good things about the stairlift. We had a little problem the first couple of days with it, but they came right out and adjusted it. Before, my mother could make it up the fourth step, but she couldn't make it up the fifth and sixth. But now, she can. Anybody who needs something like this should keep one in their home.

My stairs are straight and the lift goes straight up. I only went upstairs once since I got it 'cause I was trying to see if I could bring up a package, but I'm so thrilled I have it. I can manipulate it very well. They had a choice when you get to the top of the stairs to have manual or automatic, but the manual worked very well for me. I know how to deal with the touch, the installer explained it to me very well and I got that down pat. I'm very happy with it.

    My mother is 87 years old. She had a fall and had multiple fractures so navigating the stairs was somewhat difficult for her. She has somewhat recovered, but the Stannah Stairlift is a big help for her. The sales representative was great. I had an appointment with him, he came by, met me, and had a quick and thorough estimate. The estimate was what was charged, and that all went well.

    The installation was good, but it wasn't as timely as I would have liked. My mother was in rehab and I had to leave work to be there when it was being installed. We were given a window which I thought was the installation window, but it was, the two-hour window for when the installer was going to arrive. The guy didn't arrive until 11:15 and then it took him another 20 minutes to park. So, he really didn't install the unit until 11:35. The installation took a few hours but things went okay. But what I thought was gonna be a couple hour installation and maybe lose a half a day work ended up losing the whole day of work, which was really difficult. But other than that, everything else was great.

I called to make an appointment and he got back to me within inside of like half an hour.

He was here in plenty of time when we made the appointment back. He was really knowledgeable and very thorough. Also, he answered all our questions and everything else.

I was told installation could take up to three hours and he was in and out within an hour and a half. Everything was cleaned up. He ran through the whole process and how to use it. He was very thorough with also giving us instructions on who to call if we had an issue. Everything was efficient.

    Now, having the stairlift has actually helped quite a bit. My husband understands how to make it go up and down, and if it doesn’t, it makes a loud noise, so he’s working with it. It’s easier for him to get up and down the stairs, which he wants to continue doing, and it’s been great. It has also been a peace of mind for not only me, but his caregiver who’s here five days a week. And we’ve realized that he can do it on his own as long as we are here.

    Talking with people, one particular friend of ours knew about Stannah and the showroom at Franklin. So, we decided to give them a call, and they came out. The fellow who came to our house was wonderful and he had more information than I could take in. It was very good. We learned a lot because we didn’t wanna buy a pig in a poke. The day after we saw him, we went up to the showroom in Franklin and I was able to test the stairlift. It was very easy to operate. As one gets older, they don’t want complicated things.

    The installer was very good, too, and he knew what he was doing. It wasn’t just some guy that they hired and said, “This is what you do. Go and put it in.” The man really knew enough to be able to talk us, my husband mostly, through what he was doing. My husband is a very handy man and so he was impressed with how the fellow explained things and how he did things. We had an old stairlift that we had bought third-hand about 30 years ago and it finally died a natural death. They removed it for us and gave us a week to be able to remove the carpet from the stairs and restain them before they came in and put the new straight stairlift in.

    Oftentimes, we can walk down the stairs when we get up in the morning. And naturally, we don’t wanna give up doing that all the time if we can help it. So, we haven’t reached the point where we need the stairlift 100% of the time. But very often at night, we’re really tired after a long day, and that’s when we use it the most is going up the stairs.

People that have come to the house, seen it and ridden up and down the stairs in it say that it’s far superior to what they’ve experienced in the past. We’re pleased with the fact that we had an option for the color of the rail itself and that the screws are covered. All things that are just details make it look much nicer in the home and less industrial. Due to the fact that we had a choice of the color of upholstery, it just blends right into our home, and you come in and don’t even notice it, which is what we wanted.

    My husband has a mobility problem and so we had two straight stairlifts put in. We used Stannah because they have one that retracts. The representative who came out was excellent and everybody who came were all great. The installers were in and out in one day. They were here for about 5 hours, did everything, and then they were gone. The stairlift fits well into the stairwell and we have no problems with quality. It's a little bigger than we thought but it's fine. It's retractable and it's out of our way, which is my favorite feature. Having the Stannah stairlift makes it a lot easier for my husband to go up and down the stairs.

    I would like to start out by saying, Our Salesperson, Michelle, was simply wonderful. Stannah Stairlifts should be proud of this employee as she represents your company in the highest standard. Her work ethic is top notch. Here is my experience. My mother is 85 years old, my father has passed and was a retired Boston Police Officer. I come from a family of 7 kids. My mother and father bought our house in West Roxbury, MA. in 1961. She has lived in this house and raised 7 children since 1961. Lots of memories in this house for a parent 85 years old. I know she loves this house. What started to happen this past year, is she really began to struggle getting up the stairs. We have 10 stairs that get you to the second floor. My mother was getting so winded by the 6 stair and by the time she got to the 10th stair she was totally exhausted.

    I knew we needed to do something. I never saw her struggle that bad. I feared she would have a heart attack or injure herself. We either needed to sell the house, move her into assisted living or invest in the Chairlift. We started to look into the Chairlift as that's what my mother wanted us to do. I had Acorn come out to the house and I had Stannah come out to the house. Michelle was the salesperson that came out. She was simply wonderful. She went over everything. She explained everything in detail. You could see she believes in the product, which made me believe in the product. The more she presented everything, the more I realized Stannah has the best product. Stannah is far better than Acorn. Stannah has the better chair, the better safety features, the better warranty and the far better customer service.

    I took a ride to their showroom and once I saw the chair in real life, that sealed the deal for me. I saw how sturdy it was, I saw how easy it is to operate but you can feel its good quality. I sat in the chair and used it on their makeshift staircases and it was simply wonderful. It was comfortable but yet sturdy and so easy to operate. I went home and told my mother, "We need to get this chair. You will not find a better chair than Stannah." We had it installed this past Tuesday and my mother loves it. We could not be happier. My mother could not be happier. She no longer has to struggle up 10 flights of stairs. We are up the stairs in no more than 15 seconds opposed to her walking the stairs, which took her 25 minutes to get up and down the stairs. This is worth every penny! She has far more energy now.

    When she had to walk those stairs it drained all of her energy, she was just totally exhausted. What a turnaround, she has more energy and more color in her skin. Thank you Michelle for your hard work, for your believe in your product, for your wonderful presentation as I believe if it wasn't for you, I probably would never have bought this. This is the best investment in my mothers care. What a rewarding feeling you must get knowing you played a role in helping an elderly person stay in their home. I know my father is looking down from heaven smiling, knowing his wife can stay in the home that she has been in for over 50 years, And a home that she loves to be in.

    Thank You Michelle! Thank You for your outstanding customer Service. Thank You Stannah for putting out a wonderful product. I believe Stannah Stairlifts is simply the best Chairlift out there. My mother loves it! Very happy we invested in this product. I believe my mother will be able to live in her house for many more years, because of this Chairlift. Highly Recommend. Also, wanted to give a shoutout to the installing, he was wonderful as well. Nancy **, West Roxbury, MA.

    During the sales visit, there were two main parts. The first part was Stannah sent somebody out to do an assessment. The second part was they showed up and did the installation. The installation guy was great, and they were pretty forthcoming about everything. But the first guy they sent out for the assessment didn't go into detail enough as far as the things that needed to happen for this. He was supposed to make me ready for the guys that would come to install, and he should have known where the electricity was. It's an outdoor stairlift and when the guy showed up to install it, there was no hole for the electricity to come out because I wasn’t told to do that. And so, they had to come back a second time. I needed to drill a hole in the house so electricity could come outside where the stairlift is. That caused a delay in the installation. Overall though, the quality of the stairlift seems fine.

The second one took some time because they had to take different measurements and then put it together. Overall my wife is enjoying the stairlifts.

    We purchased a stairlift for my mother and when she had looked at pictures, Stannah was the one she liked better. Theirs has a button where you push it and something happens. You don’t have to do it manually. It’s in the house and it’s straight ‘cause we go straight up the stairs. It works fine, though if they could improve one thing, it would be to have a mechanical twist. When you’re in the chair and you get to the top, you have to turn the chair manually. If you could do that electronically, that would be great. It was also a bit more expensive than the other one, but we went with it because it also holds heavier weight.

    I liked the functionality of the Stannah Stairlift and how it had the features that I most wanted. Initially, I contacted Stannah through their website but then nobody answered me. I was persistent so I called and someone scheduled an appointment with me. But then, no one arrived and so I called again. That appointment was made during off hours and somehow it didn't get passed along to the salesperson. I made them aware that I took time off from work and they sent someone pretty quickly. Up until the installation, everything was not great. Though the sales rep was great and she came with the information, she never followed up with me. Nobody wants to be harassed by a salesperson but a follow-up call would have been helpful. It seemed like they didn't need my business.

    When the it came time when we really needed the stairlift, my mother and I drove out to a center we have locally so my mother could see Stannah's stairlifts. We decided to go with the model we wound up with because of the various features. Also, the installation person was patient. He was excellent and spent a lot of time with my mother who is 91 and was not too swift on understanding. Overall, the quality of the stairlift is excellent but then it's just too complicated. There's a lot of steps to using. Instead, I should be able to turn it off, get on it and then turn it back on.

It gets my husband up and down the stairs. But the other day, it stopped working. I called customer support and the rep was not helpful at all. She didn't know the answers to any of the questions that I needed. She basically told me that I had to wait 24 to 48 hours. I asked her what I should do in the meantime with my husband and she told me to call 911. But that was the reason why I bought the stairs so I wouldn't have to call 911. The next day, the service guy wanted to charge me $250 and I told him I was not gonna pay him that. I was really upset and he got why I was so upset so he didn't charge me.

    Stannah's customer service is horrible. I was crying seeing my husband uncomfortable on the chair and the personnel didn't care at all. It's very important for the customer service people to be aware that the people are renting it has handicapped conditions instead of telling them to wait. I would not recommend Stannah to anybody.

    Hi Rossy,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry for the inconvenience you experienced due to your stairlift’s inoperability. Our records indicate that you called outside of our normal business hours and spoke with our answering service, who are not able to troubleshoot stairlift issues at this time (Stannah employees can help troubleshoot issues during regular business hours). Our weekend service hours are 9am-3pm, and we make every effort to respond as quickly as possible to requests for emergency service. In your case, we were able to come the next day.

    Stairlift service outside of our normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) is not covered in our warranty, leading our service technician to initially charge our weekend service rate. However, when he realized the nature of your issue, he promptly waived all fees.

    We have investigated your case and determined it was unrepresentative of our normal workmanship. We apologize for this error and can assure you this is not and will not become a common occurrence. We are confident that your stairlift will serve you well going forward and we hope that your opinion of us improves over time. We truly apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to providing you with quality service for years to come.

    I had compared Stannah with Acorn and thought that it was a better deal for the dollar to go with the Stannah even though it was a couple of dollars more expensive. The benefits of doing business with them were worth the difference in the price and the quality, and how it looked and operated. Their sales rep was very good and he explained everything well. When I decided that I was gonna go with them, I tagged along with him, watching how they do the measurements with the computer.

    The only thing was, he said they were gonna have to put an electric wire to the charger so that the track will be able to charge at the top and the bottom and since they don’t drill holes, I would have to do it. So I asked where would I have to drill the hole, and he took me on the stair and pointed where to put it. That was right in the middle of the track, the total length of the track, and I said okay. He said that the wire would go into my closet and run out the other side of the closet. Another hole would have to be put there and the wire would be plugged in the utility room, so I drilled two holes.

    However, when the fellows came to do the installation, they asked me why I was told to put a hole there and was told that was a stupid place to put the hole. The guy then said he would drill a hole for me and would put it down at the bottom and I won’t be able to see it. He also said that it would work much better than running it from the middle of the track. It should be on either one end or the other. I ended up with a hole in my woodwork that I didn’t need. Other than that, it all came out very well. The installers were great and they gave me a lot of pointers on how to use the stairlift.

    We got a curved one that does a hairpin turn halfway down and it is of good quality. Everything on it is well thought out and well-planned. It is convenient for being able to spin around and to get in it safely. I like the idea of the foot platform coming down electronically. The Acorn didn’t have that. You had to manually lift or push up that footrest at the bottom of the chair. On this Stannah, you push a button and it just pops up and down. It works very well. Plus it’s great how the stairlift fits into our home. When I’ve got it folded up, it’s out of the way and there’s plenty of room for people to go up and down the stairs. I hadn’t gone up and down the stairs for quite some time because it was so difficult, but since I had the chair put in, I go up and down two or three times a day now to do things down there or get things.

    And when we go food shopping, we bring our big grocery in through the garage and my wife loads it on the chair. I set up the top and bring the chair up remotely like a dumbwaiter, and it helps us carry the errands up and down the stairs that we had so much trouble doing before. We’re both 76 years old, so we don’t run up and down the stairs like we used to. We let the chair do some of the work and it works out very well. My wife likes that. I would definitely recommend Stannah. They were very good to do business with.

    My husband has heart issues and couldn’t get up the stairs to get into his bed. Our stairway is curved, very narrow and steep. It used to be a spiral staircase and the people that owned the house before took the spiral out and built a non-conforming set of stairs. It’s tough to walk up those stairs, even without handicap. Stannah Stairlifts was the only one that could get a stairlift in that stairway. All the others said they couldn’t do it.

    The first to visit was a woman. She came and explained about the stairlift, the company and the people. Then she came back again when we’d decided and she measured the stairway. Then we waited to have it built. No one else could fit our stairway and Stannah had to engineer the stairlift inch by inch. And then they came and installed it. And after the installation, they provided service. They stand by their products.

    The installation team was great. They explained things and went over things. I'm very satisfied with how it came out. Unfortunately, it was the most expensive out of all the stairlifts that came to our house. The stairlift has good quality. But it doesn’t ride smooth and it’s a little bumpy. They explained because of the steepness that's the way it is. However, I like that it has a remote. If the stairlift is at the bottom and my husband wants it at the top, he has the remote to bring it up and vice-versa. We have two remotes.

    Stannah Stairlifts is completely amazing, awesome, outstanding, and every positive word you could create in the English language. Three years ago, I had too much from Acorn Stairlift. They said they didn’t have a product that could be used on our stairs. That week, there was an ad in the Newton TAB for $200 off. I looked up online and saw that Stannah is a very old company. I figured I’d look up and see what the Google reviews were, and they were all very good.

    When the presenter came to the house, he knew exactly what we would need. He was prepared that it was a straight-up staircase, and he didn’t try to sell me the bargain basement or the ultra filling models. He knew what the neighborhood wanted and that they had six months rent with option to buy, and nothing is taken off from the amount that you rent. They really saw through everything.

    The install was wonderful. The man worked independently. He cleaned up after himself. Whatever little things went on, he was very pleasant to deal with. He was efficient and got it done quickly. I had asked him to put the buttons in a specific place and it turned out he wasn’t supposed to, but he did it because I asked him. I also could see originally why he didn’t wanna put them there. They needed to be lower. So, I had to call back. Stannah sent another workman the next day to correct the mistake that I made.

    I like the automatic buttons. You push a button and the footrest comes down. You push a button and the stairlift goes down. You push a button and the stairlift goes up. I also like the fact that it’s motorized and very quiet. The seat is so comfortable and so safe. My husband uses it many times every day and we absolutely love it.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law came up with money for it.

    At the bottom of the stairs, it was a little close and we were hoping that we could’ve had the stairlift angled so that it would’ve made a little bit of a turn. We were told that to get that turn made, it would be a special order, and it would be approximately another $5,000 to make it turn the corner. That’s a bit much, but it suits my purpose.

    We have a summer place and my sister was having an issue going to the lower level where our washer and dryer is. We decided to purchase a stairlift and that time, I talked to someone who purchased from Stannah Stairlift 22 years ago. He couldn't have raved more about Stannah so I decided to buy one from them. I called and booked an appointment for someone to come out to measure and the person who came, Michelle, explained everything. I gave her a deposit of $3,300 because our stairwell has a curvature and the cost was gonna be 13,300. She said it’d take two or three weeks to get the stairlift.

    Some time thereafter, two techs, Eric and Joe, and installed the stairlift. They were here for approximately two and a half hours and they realized there was a measuring issue that Michelle hadn’t taken into consideration. It was a ceiling that came over a banister, and when the chair would go up, your head would’ve hit it. So, they had to remove everything. Michelle returned to remeasure and said that normally, such mistakes don't happen.

    Their installers came again to reinstall a new, custom-made stairlift. They were at my place approximately four hours but then one of the technicians had to leave because he had another assignment. Ryan, the remaining tech worked around the problem that they came upon that second time around. He made a few calls and talked to someone. He finally got the chair to move. He then went over everything and we paid him the balance.

    After the chairlift had been installed for 18 days, the power went off on the arm thing that makes the chair move up and down the stairs. I called Stannah late in the afternoon on a Saturday and explained my issue to their rep LaTasha. She explained that their Monday was already booked and if their tech comes out on a weekend, a service charge had to be paid. We said we would pay whatever that charge was. She then said that we would be hearing from the tech shortly. Several hours later, we heard from Ryan once again. He said that he would be available that Sunday but also he couldn't promise that he would be the tech who would come out on that Monday. Ryan also said that he would call his boss to find out what I have to agree to before he would come and that he would tell me the amount I have to pay.

    Ryan called back and I told him something about the stairlift being under warranty. He explained how the service I was requesting wasn't under the warranty. He said that usually, my item would be under warranty but then a service call on a Sunday wasn't covered. We've only had the stairlift for 18 days and we were delayed a full month because of Michelle measuring incorrectly and it didn't seem fair that we had to pay $225.

    Ryan arrived around 2 o'clock, the time he was expected to. He said that it wasn't the same issue that arose when he installed. The most recent problem was a computer board that needed to be replaced whereas the initial problem was something under the seat. I asked Ryan whether the chair I had was used. He said it wasn't but then I thought that when they had to take the everything back, it was probably tossed around in the truck and something went out of whack. The chair I have is probably more fragile than I know. Still, Ryan got the chair running and it has been running since. It has been wonderful.

    Hello Kathleen. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, we really appreciate it. Honest feedback like yours helps us improve our service. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced due to the incorrect measurement. Our team is aware of the issue and it should not happen again. Unfortunately, after hours service is not part of any warranty package we offer, perhaps as we grow our team and we have the resources for it, we can add it in the future. Otherwise we are glad the stairlift has been valuable to you and your sister.

    The friend I take care of had his toes amputated. He couldn't walk up and down the stairs so we decided to purchase a stairlift as it was less expensive to get one than to put him in a nursing home or assisted living. I saw a $200 coupon in the paper for a Stannah stairlift and found that they had a good reputation so I went with them. The rep who helped us was very precise. She not only gave me the discount on the coupon but she gave me another one as well. We wound up getting a curved stairlift and the installation team who came was A1. Everything was well-measured and done.

    Another thing I liked with Stannah is that I put 25% on the downpayment and then, a month after it’s installed, they gave me five months to pay it off. I like that method because it's doable for us whereas it wouldn't be if it were a lump sum. Since getting the stairlift, we've been loving it. I've used it myself to try and make sure that everything works fine. My friend Joe loves it too. He went out for the first time in two months yesterday and he was able to do that. Everybody should get a Stannah Stairlift.

    I have mobility issues and I have trouble going up and down the stairs. I decided to get a stairlift and so we interviewed three companies. All three salesmen for each of the companies were good but then we liked the bells and whistles we could get with Stannah which included a swiveling seat and an automatically raising and dropping floor step. Though their product wasn't the cheapest, they had the best product with the best features. We had them install 2 straight stairlifts in our home. Their techs were here for quite a while and they did a good job. The Stannah Stairlift has been easy to use and it has liberated me such that I can go up and down whenever I want.

    We were getting a stairlift for my Mother. She’s 91 years old and she's having trouble going up and down the stairs. We looked at three different stairlift companies. One of the company didn't have a showroom and Stannah did. We went to their showroom and they had all three stairlifts there. We got the chance to compare them and we liked Stannah's. We didn't even bother going to the third company anymore because they only had their lift and we couldn't compare with the other ones.

    My mother liked Stannah's footrest compared to the other company. On top of that, they also had a second-hand unit in stock, so all we had to do was to buy the new track, and we got the second-hand unit for a couple of bucks less. Also, their rep was very understanding of my mother's concerns and she addressed them. She was very professional as far as taking all the measurements and doing things. My mother felt very comfortable with the whole thing. And the installation went smoothly.

    In the first couple of times my mother used the Stannah stairlift, she thought it was great, comfortable and relaxing. Then about three days after the installation, I got a panic call from my mother. She was stuck on the stairs and the lift wouldn't come down. I went over there, but by the time I got there, she had crawled out of the lift and got down the stairs. She discovered that the curtain was stuck in the rack. During the installation, we took that curtain down so it wouldn't be in the installer's way. It wasn't really his fault. So we just backed the stairlift up with nobody in the chair, took the curtain out, and we thumbtacked it up against the window until we could shorten it. That cured the problem. She was a little concerned when it got stuck because that was one of her fears. But she has been reassured and she’s happy with it again. She’s also trying to talk her neighbor into getting it.

    When we had our Stannah stairlift installed, the installers were timely. They showed up when they were supposed to, did a quick installation and were available to assist me with any need. They also gave me a hands-on demo and said if I needed to, I can call them. When they saw that I had an issue, although I didn't, they addressed it immediately. I would recommend though that when it goes to the top of the stairs, it should go further so a person getting off the chair should not feel them right at the edge of the step. When it pivots around, it should pivot a little bit more. The top of the steps is important and that would be helpful. Other than that, it's an excellent product. I have an elderly mother who needed to use the stairlift also, so the remote controls are a tremendous benefit.

    Response from Stannah Stairlifts

    Hi Hal. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we appreciate it. I see that you purchased a straight stairlift. As a safety measure, our straight stairlift rails are designed to end at the top of the stairs at a distance that ensures there is no gap between the footrest and the top stairs. Our curved stairlift, on the other hand, can be engineered to extend past the last stair at the top. The chair also does not swivel a complete 90 degrees to prevent a the rider's arm from being trapped between a wall and the chair. We're glad to hear you are otherwise satisfied with your stairlift.

    The installation team of Stannah were very nice and polite. They were in and out. The installation went very fast and they cleaned up. They tested it, and it seemed to be fine. There was no issue with anything. We didn't have to take anything off the walls or anything like that. The installer said we have wider steps than most people, so he said that was really perfect for putting it in. It left enough room if somebody wants to walk up on the other side. I think my mother in-law will enjoy it once she gets out of the rehab.

He was really careful and he explained everything. He answered any questions we had and was available by phone. We got the Siena model which is the curved one. The installers were calm and friendly. They explained everything really carefully. There was no disruption about it. It was fine. With the stairlift, we don’t need to walk on a ton of stairs which is risky for us at this point. The stairlift is great. It's a little bumpy when it goes around the curve and the rail is kinda ugly but it works.

    I looked on the internet and Stannah Stairlifts seemed to have the best reputation. My husband was in the hospital at the time and when I called, they were there within two days. I called on a Tuesday and the reps were there within two days. Then, I asked if they could put it in right away and they were able to come. They came on Thursday and put it in the following Monday. Two gentlemen came and they were here for a couple of hours. One was an intern and the other gentleman was explaining everything to him. They also explained and showed us everything. They answered any questions that we had.

    The stair lift is at the top of the stairs and because of that, we don’t have the wraparound. So, the chair is sitting above the top step or above the second step. My husband is getting a little difficulty getting into the chair though because he is handicapped so, I was gonna call them to find out if they can move it up a little bit further. My husband doesn't have the confidence yet getting into it because he can't see it. So, when he's sitting down, it's a leap of faith. But the stairlift has been great and from what I’ve heard, what we got is better than what some other people had with Acorn or some of those other places. We like it and we would recommend Stannah.

They were actually recommended by the first company and Tony was absolutely spectacular. He's a larger than life kind of a personality. He's also very efficient and we felt comfortable with him right from the very beginning.

    The house is an old one and the stairway is very narrow. We had to pull out a molding of the door going upstairs and we had to put an electrical outlet that was convenient. But those were the only modifications that we had to make for the stairlift. It's curved and indoors, and in terms of installation, everything was excellent. They said they were coming at 10:00 and they were here at 10:15. They were also very neat and efficient. They had the schematic for how it was gonna go, and it was perfect. They explained everything to us and they ran it through with us before they left. The stairlift is very smooth and easy to operate.

    The salesperson from Stannah seemed a little bit more with the stairlift. He knew a little bit about the history, that they were European. I had been looking into elevators and people don't seem to think you want an elevator in a residential home. And I just wasn't having much luck with getting that done. So, went to Stannah which was easier though not as attractive. The stairlifts are not things of beauty but they serve a purpose, and that's what we had to go with. I would never choose to have one if I had a choice, but I didn't. We couldn't get the elevator and this was the only substitute that we were aware of.

    We have one that we bought about two and a half years ago which is the curved one and it's much more heavy duty. Then my husband had difficulty getting around so we put in the second one which is a straight lift. We bought the first stairlift with Laser Assistance and that went extremely well and was very specific. However, I'm not at all comfortable with the one that we had on the straight lift. I don't have a real good reason to bring them back, but it seems to go slower and I didn't get the feeling that the people that installed it were as sharp as the previous ones. The installation just wasn't as smooth as the first time.

    But the sales team was very pleasant. I didn't think they were lacking in anything. They had probably worked in a physical sense before they became salespeople. They put the lifts in at one point and had graduated to a sales position. Having the Stannah stairlifts, we're able to get up and down the stairs without much trouble and that's what we wanted. The stairlifts are accomplishing that. It's one of those things where it's a solution to a problem that doesn't have a lot of solutions.

    I've had a stairlift for my wife for years when I was in New Hampshire. I had both of my knees replaced and I got to the point where I'm in a house with 12 steps going down to the basement and it got rough going up and down. I got the Stannah stairlift to make it much easier to get up and down those steps. I had quotes from Stannah's competitors and they were outrageous. When I found that I could get a used stairlift from Stannah with the warranty on it, I decided to go with them. My daughter and son-in-law said the same thing.

    The salesman that I got the stairlift from was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. I was also told when the installers would be here. Both of the installers were very nice, knowledgeable, and pleasant. They were here on time and they never wasted any of that time to install the stairlift. They were at it the whole time until the job was completely finished.

    The only thing was when they installed the stairlift, they were going to give a wrench for the machine which, in case it stalls, I could crank it up. They showed me where it went and how to use it. But at the end, that never happened so I'm still waiting. I called the salesman that I bought the stairlift from and he said that he would be in contact with the installers for them to come back but I haven't heard from them since. It's been two months since we talked. I understand there's an inspection coming up in six months. Maybe they thought at that time that that's what would happen then. But I think the wrench was just an oversight that they just forgot about.

    I had the curved stairlift installed. It's nice and quiet. I really enjoy it. My daughter and my son-in-law couldn't believe the way it goes down. It goes down to a certain point then makes it curve then goes down the rest of the way. It's a good product so I'm really pleased with it. The key thing that I really liked was how it completely fits in the narrow hallway. It takes up the whole space which is nice. It's just easy to get on and off the stairlift which I really enjoy. It fits right up to my basement door. The installers put a lock on it so that if by accident I got my leg in between the door and the stairlift, the door would open automatic. That was a good safety feature. It was one thing that I hadn't counted on and had not seen before. I would recommend Stannah to anybody that would like to see it and try it. I think they'd be well pleased with it.

    I have increasing mobility issues, especially with stairs, and Stannah convinced us that they had a good product. Somebody came twice, showed us what the stairchair would look like, and gave us an estimate, and then we spoke with other providers. Stannah came back, gave us options that were a little cheaper, including a refurbished chair, and we chose that. After the salesperson made his proposal and we’d accepted, we got a call from Stannah. They wanted to impress upon us that the staircase is quite narrow and that they wanted to make sure that it would all work, which it had so far. When the installers came, we welcomed them and showed them where the stairchair was going to go, and then we had some appointments we had to get to and we were out of the house, so they were working on their own most of the time.

    We came home to a clean house and we have no complaints. Our stair goes up to a curve, so it ends up going up straight for most of the stairway and it curves to the right. It functions as advertised. We just had to get used to it for a bit. For example, if you leave it in a situation where it isn't exactly ready to go, if you're on the bottom of the stairs and at the top of the stairs it's not set up right, then you can't retrieve it. So, we just have to learn what those situations were. We've had it for three weeks and we're well used to it. We would definitely recommend Stannah to our friends.

The Stannah rep was knowledgeable and he did a better job presenting than the other folks we had.

    Stannah, by themselves, was fine and even though we have a couple minor things, for the most part, we’re happy with the purchase. Now, it’s easier to transport our son up and downstairs. The quality of the straight chairlift is good and it doesn’t take up too much room. It’s quiet compared to some of the other competitors and we’re pleased with it.

    Thank you for your review Terrie.

    Our records indicate you have had the powered footrest serviced on 3 occasions. To prevent injury to the user, the powered footrest is designed with a stop mechanism if an obstruction is detected. To eliminate this as a factor that could hinder operation of your stairlift we recommend ensuring there is no weight on the footrest and nothing is in it’s pathway when pressing the footrest button. If you have any questions or concerns regarding safe operation of your stairlift do not hesitate to consult your user manual or call your Stannah dealer.

    As a reminder, the Stannah warranty is void if a stairlift has been serviced, repaired, or modified by anyone other than our authorized technicians or has been subjected to negligence, misuse, or lack of maintenance. If you have any questions regarding this warranty you may reach out to your Stannah dealer for clarification.

Both companies claimed to be high quality, but the Stannah lady was less pressure, very honest and very nice. She reminded me of myself when I used to be in sales. You either like it or you don't.

    Two straight lifts needed to be put in and the installers were wonderful. The two guys took anywhere between three and four hours, and they were very professional and polite. I would recommend their company to anybody. I'm only 55 so I never thought I'd be using something like that at this age. But it makes a huge difference for me. It is awesome. I may even ask them to come back. I may want one going from the second to the third floor. But I gotta wait and see and consider its affordability.

    I needed a stairlift to be able to get from one level up to another level. So, I got a straight one from Stannah Stairlifts. The installation of the stairlift and everything else went fine. However, the customer service at the home base needs to be spiffed up as it was not that great. I had one person who came out and went over the whole installation with me before I decided whether to buy or not. And once I decided to buy it, I called them and told them I met with the individual and I was ready to buy. Then, they sent somebody else out here. It was not a good situation. Once the second person realized that he was following up on another person, he went with what the original person said. It could've been a disastrous situation and I just bought and he agreed to the terms of the first person. Nevertheless, the quality of my stairlift is of very good quality.

    Our orthopedic surgeon required some kind of help for my husband and we were even looking forward to a wheelchair that he can use in the living room, that he can guide himself instead of me pushing. I’m 87 and he’s 95 so we needed something and Stannah Stairlifts was the group I knew about. The man that came was wonderful. He was clear, patient, quick and prompt. He knew he was selling something, but he wasn’t overbearing. He was just perfect for his job. The two men that came to install it were very polite. I couldn’t ask for anything nicer. Stannah's service has been great. I haven’t had any need to have them come back and put little batteries in for the light or anything and it’s been wonderful for me. My husband’s the one who really needs it but I ride it up and down. I don’t have to carry the laundry up and down anymore so I get a little bit of relaxation.

    My husband rides it with a laugh on his face too. Because of the dementia he has, it took a little while to learn how to move the little guide for up and down. He kept trying to lift it and pull it. And like dementia patients do, he started out swinging his cane and denting the refrigerator, an anger burst every once in a while. He was treating the stairlift that way at first. Now, he doesn’t have a problem. He can go in, sit down, he knows how to make the little platform go up and down so he can get close enough with it in the upright position, so that he can get on the chair, push the button, make the stand go down for his feet. He also zips up with a big smile and he has a rollator waiting for him to go to the bedroom. So, it’s wonderful.

    I can’t walk very far so I needed a stairlift to exit the house to go to the doctor’s. I had Stannah for my wife about six years ago and it worked well then, so I went back to them. I called them up, ordered the stairlift and sent a check in. I had a straight one installed and it fits into our home just fine. However, with only one arm available, it was hard for me to get into it. I had to do an adaptation on a railing so I can get into it better.

    The only thing is, the installation went very poorly. The holes in the wall were there before and, six years ago, I saw it only took a few hours to install. This time, the guy took all day. He refused to do certain things because he said the door was too close. We had to call his supervisor to get that changed. The installer did those things eventually because his boss told him to, and it was installed fine but it took eight hours and arguments. It was not a pleasant installation. Whereas in the past, when I dealt with Stannah, everything was fine. Still, I would recommend them. But I would hope they wouldn’t send out the same installer.

    The fellow who came to install the Stannah stairlift was good and thorough. He had to come out from Franklin, MA and by our standards, it's a fairly long drive. But he came within 10 minutes of the time he said he was going to arrive, which I thought was good. This fellow was pleasant and knowledgeable as well. He showed me everything to do and showed me the trouble code is a little LED counter that tells you if there's a problem with it. We ran it up and down. He showed me all the features too.

    The stairlift I have is a used one but that one is good. It has some peculiarities like if it's been sitting for a long time, which means the batteries have thoroughly topped off to be of low voltage, and I'm going down the stairs, it starts fast. And then, for 2 feet, it goes its normal speed and then, it goes slow all the way down to the bottom of the stairs. If I stop to go back up the stairs, I then go back down, it goes down at its normal speed. And it only happens if it's been sitting unused for several hours. Other than that, the salesperson was very good, the unit is nice, and having local support and a local installation is worth a bit.

The guy was there in 48 hours on time, sat down with me, checked the house up to make sure it could accommodate the stairlift. They showed me where everything would go in terms of the wires and plugs and was very comprehensive and said it would be installed in five days.

    He was back within that time frame installing, so it couldn't have gone any better. My mom has dementia and she was able to use the stairlift, figure out how to do it with a little supervision.

I also met with somebody else but we decided that we liked Stannah’s product and we had the arrangement to purchase it. I met with the sales rep and he went over everything. We went through pictures to discuss the various options available, pricing and how to order. We have the straight stairlift installed in our home. It goes up one side of stairs and it fits in fine. My wife likes the whole thing. The device has a light on the left arm of the chair and a little switch that energizes the chair at the moment. There is also a couple of power switch but there is no way to turn the light off.

    Then at night, with the chairlift at the top of the stairs in the dark hallway, that thing blinks and it really lights up the whole area. It's amazing. I wouldn't think anything of it during the day, but at night I do. I have to cover it with something so it is annoying. I don't know how to turn that off the power switch on the underside of the chair itself. Nevertheless, we are satisfied and very pleased with the Stannah Stairlifts. Everything seems to be fine right now but we’ll see how things hold up. The idea of having it made it possible for my wife to go up and down the stairs in the style of house that we have. She probably wouldn't have been released from the hospital at that time had we not have the stairlift installed right then. I would recommend Stannah.

The stairlift gives my mother the freedom to go up and down in safety. It’s perfect for her. However, it would be better if they could make the motorized seat so that when it gets to the top of the stairs, it completely turns towards her room. I don’t mean it has to deliver her into her bedroom, but I thought that it would turn away from the stairway more. The seat where her butt is turns 60 degrees, but it doesn’t turn 110 degrees. Plus, the foot platform stays where it is and doesn't rotate. The post moves and turns the body, but the feet don’t move with it.

    Stannah's salesman was excellent as his arguments were better than the one from Acorn. Acorn started $1,000 higher than Stannah but then they matched Stannah's price. They were trying to gouge too much while Stannah was more honest with their price. Also, Stannah was the better product based on the way it was made and the fact that it was one piece cut into sections. The double-rail system looked sturdier to me.

    I got one from them and the installers showed up right on time. They were very efficient and gave the information. I talked to them about a couple of things, and their answers were really good. They gave us a complete demonstration of how to operate it. They clearly knew all the features. They did their business and cleaned everything up perfectly. We have a much older house so it has a lot of small rooms. Stannah's curved stairlift with one landing and 90-degree turn fit in there perfectly.

    Thus far, we've had no problems operating the stairlift and it seems to be working really well. The power footrest is good and my mother who had a hip operation doesn't have to bend down. Otherwise, she would have trouble lifting it with the toe of her food. That’s a good feature which was included in the price. Another good feature is the seat. It needs to be smooth enough so the person sitting can slide on and off a little bit. One of the other stairlifts had seats that weren't nearly as slippery. The one we have has a comfortable seat that allows the passenger to get in and out very easily. The movable armrest is a good feature too. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the stairlift.

I was satisfied with him.

    We had a straight stairlift installed. The installation team was also lovely. The first guy that came was just as nice as the salesperson. He gave me all the ins and outs and explained everything he was doing for me. And the installation was done in one hour. I was comfortable with the purchase. The seat lift gives us more access to the stairway. We have plenty of space for moving and anything you would need to do on the stairway. Plus, it seems pretty safe.

    I am physically disabled and my friend recommended Stannah Stairlifts. I had the stairlift installed at the back hall and it went well. I use it once a week to go up and down the stairs. However, I had a time when I was coming up the stairs and my finger slipped off the little lever that goes upstairs. The stairlift started beeping and it stopped before I got to the top of the stairs. I waited a while and then it went up afterward. I'm not sure so I have to read my manual and find out if that was what I did. Despite that, I love my stairlift.

    I had looked into other manufacturers, but I decided on Stannah. I thought it was a better product. The stairlift fits very well with the stairwell. However, I still have some issues with safety. I had the installer come back, and there’s nothing much that we could do. I don’t think it is 100% safe getting into it. At the top of the stairs there's a part that’s open. I have a concern about either my husband or me falling. Originally, that was the case, and he adjusted it so that it’s up higher. But it’s still a little bit of a concern. But other than that the installation team has been fine. Everything was appropriate. The quality of the product is also very good.

    My experience and the reviews with Acorn were highly negative but I am absolutely satisfied with Stannah Stairlifts. Long before my wife had the need for those kinds of services back in October, I recognized that she was having difficulty climbing the stairs, so I arranged for a visit by the representative. The rep was wonderful and she explained everything that I would need, what the costs were and the functions of the stairlift.

    The experience with the installer that came out to put it in was absolutely excellent. It took about five hours to do it, which he explained ahead of time. Everything that he did was very professional. We had a straight stairlift installed and it had to have an arm. The stairlift takes up a lot of space but it can be easily moved out of the way. I wish that it could be at the bottom location but it does not get charged when it is down there. So, we moved it in the middle of the stairway, which kinda blocks the stairway. If I had any druthers, I’d like it to be powered to charge the battery while it is in the fully down position. In the fully up position, there is no hope of getting by it, but in the fully down position, we can get by it fine.

    My wife is presently in rehab and she is gonna be discharged on March 5th, so I am making preparations to service her at home. One of the things that she can’t do now is to stand. Eventually, she will be able to use the stairlift to go upstairs to her bedroom and to her TV room. I am totally convinced that we made the right decision by having the quality and the functionality of Stannah Stairlifts. I saw the reviews on the internet. Other people took the time to recommend the product and it was influential in my decision. Stannah got some good people and a good product, too.

    I looked up on stairlifts on the internet and Stannah came up. I called and spoke to their salesperson. He came out and was very professional. I liked him a lot. He knew his product inside and out and made suggestions on what he thought would be the best for us, which were spot on. It was a good purchasing experience. Then the installation took only a couple of hours. There was one rep and he was very fast. We got a straight, indoors stairlift. It’s the chair that turns when it gets to the top of the stairs and/or turns when it gets to the bottom of the stairs for easy sitting and getting up. It does what we wanted it to do. We use it for a combination. Occasionally, my wife would use it for sitting. We’re using it a lot as a lift too. The garage is on one floor, and the main level’s on another, so we use it to get things from the garage to the main level.

    My father couldn’t walk anymore. And the stairlift from Stannah saved his life. It’s great. Stannah was the best at what he looked at. It was within his price and they also had a leasing program. When my father and I first spoke about it, he was gonna buy one, but I told him, “Your best bet is try to find somebody that leases it.” So, that’s the route that he went. He uses the stairlift every day, and he likes the swivel effect. When you get to the top of the steps, it swivels out. He also likes the fact that it goes up and down the stairs. It’s simple.

    We needed a stairlift because my mother, who is elderly, came to live with us. I liked Stannah's salesperson. He was upfront and honest. He explained everything to a T, so when the stairlift was installed, I knew exactly how to run it. The installer was here for around three hours. He was on the perfectionist side and he made sure that nothing was ruined on my stairways. He was very good. He gave me instructions on it again and showed me exactly what he had done, and what it was supposed to be in case there was a power failure.

    I like the stairlift and it fits perfectly within our stairwell. My only problem is when it reaches its destination, either to the top or the bottom of the stairs, it doesn’t fully turn and it goes at an angle. And for somebody in a wheelchair, it’s a little difficult to get in without assistance. Nevertheless, my mother had a doctor’s appointment and we had to get her out of the house, down the stairway, and into a chair car. If we didn’t have the stairlift, I have no idea how we would’ve gotten her down the stairs.

I had a good experience with Stannah. They came when they said they were going to. They gave us rebate options and we could also keep it if we wanted to, which is good because it was expensive to have the stairlift put in.

    My husband has ALS. A friend recommended Stannah Stairlifts because we can buy directly from them and there’s no intermediary. Their sales rep left me all the information. It’s a very expensive item but we couldn’t be without it. They installed it on the date that we needed it, which was an important date because my husband was coming home from the hospital that afternoon and he wouldn’t be able to get up the steps if we didn’t have it. After we had it for a week, the chair level needed to be raised because my husband had trouble getting out when he got up to the top step. A guy named Richie came and he adjusted it. It has been fine ever since.

    The rubber that gets the chair moving is starting to tear though and a cap on the right arm of the chair falls off. I also don’t like the noise that it makes to remind you that it’s down so nobody trips over it. I understand the point of it but when I get my husband out of the chair and then I have to get him seated someplace else, it keeps making that noise and I can’t attend to it right away. But other than those, everything has been fine.

    My husband was having a lot of difficulties getting around. He was 84 and he liked to be outdoors as much as he could. I talked to my friend and she said that she was very happy with Stannah. My son also did some research and he felt that it was as good as any of the other ones, if not better. So I ordered the stairlift based on my friend's recommendation. The stairlift that we purchased goes from my living room down to the basement. We have a walkout cellar, and I have a basketry studio down there.

    When it was installed, we were in the middle of going from the hospital to the nursing home. But I've met two different guys from Stannah because when I called it in to order the stairlift, my son told me which one to get. I just took the bottom number and that was not the one that he had circled. I didn't get the one that turned automatically so I called and paid the extra money and had the totally automatic one put in. My husband never made it home, but I decided to keep the stairlift because I have trouble with my back and my knees. Sooner, I'm going to need it.

    While there was a demonstration of how the stairlift worked, I would like to know if I can disable the beeping when it goes to the bottom of the stairs. There was no beeping when the first guy installed it, but when they came back to put the correct automatic swivel at the top and the bottom of the stairs, he told me there was an alarm system that had to be on it. I would leave it at the bottom of the stairs during the night, and then during the day, I would put it halfway up so that it would charge. The guy that I spoke to told me that I have to leave it on the stairs, part way up because of the trickle charge. If I bring it down to the bottom of the stairs and just leave it there, it keeps going "beep, beep," and it drives me absolutely crazy. My son said to shut it off. I did shut it off but when I turn it back on, it doesn't seem to work quite right away. Other than that, everything is fine. I use it to take the laundry and the groceries down.

    Hello Margaret,

    Our deepest condolences to you upon the passing of your husband.

    We are glad that your stairlift has become a beneficial addition to your lifestyle. Our records show you purchased a retractable rail. For safety reasons, these rails were designed not to charge while parked at the bottom of the stairs to prevent a user from inadvertently obstructing the walkway. The beeping is an indicator that the unit is not charging, which could explain the delayed function upon turning it on again. We recommend parking the chair a few steps up from the fully retracted rail to prevent this issue. If you have additional questions or issues please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

He was very well-organized, professional, and knew what he was doing. There were some small issues that I didn't realize before the installers arrived, but everything was taken care of splendidly. The stairwell is tiny and they managed to cram the stairlift in so that it fits us. Neither my wife nor I is small and it works fine. It's a pleasure to ride up and down. The stairlift is very ingenious. We're old people and it is how we get to the basement where the laundry is. We're aging baby boomers and we both need the safety and security of the stair climber.

I've got a friend who’s about 300 pounds, and the stairlift is tough. And when I go up and down myself, without using the stairlift, I just push the handles up, which is good.

    My husband is disabled, so we purchased a stairlift from Stannah. My experience with Stannah was fine. The process was smooth and the reps were courteous. However, there are a couple of mechanical issues with the product. I told Stannah about it and a guy went out. Part of the problem was that the patented rail extension doesn’t sit correctly. But it doesn’t happen all the time. The guy worked on it, but it’s still doing it. And on top of that, the little round button at the end of the arm to make the footrest go up and down seems to stick.

    It’s easy enough for me to jump into the chair and operate it. But for somebody with Alzheimer’s, that’s a harder job because of the ability to know that you’ve gotta hit the lever and hit the button and put the arms down and then go charge it after. That is a lot of things for somebody with Alzheimer’s to try and keep straight. Most of the stairlift seems really solid, but my husband’s 220 pounds with very bad balance and when he goes to sit down, he plops in it, and I keep wondering if it’s gonna tear the rail out. But the guy assured me when he put it in, it would handle my husband’s weight. Nevertheless, this stairlift is a godsend for my husband to be able to go upstairs and downstairs.

    I have an office on Mill Street in Springfield, and it’s in an old mill building. There are no elevators in that building which makes it arduous to get up to the second floor where my office is and virtually impossible for any elder law clients that I might have coming in. I am going to approach the landlord of the building and suggest he put one of these stairlifts in.

    I have a very difficult stairway that's bold and straight. It looks more like the kind of stairway you would find in a boat coming up from the lower deck to the upper deck. It's flat, steep and no backing on the stairs. But after 45 years, I'm used to it, so I've never had any accident on the stairs. I'm going to need a stairlift, however, probably within the next five years, so getting a stairlift seemed to be the right thing to do. Having one also made my son feel more secure since I had this experience of a fall.

    The rep from Stannah was terrific. Whenever I had a question and I called, the wait time to hear back from her was always less than an hour. The overall quality of the build seems great. I watched the installation all day and everything was professional. No kids have come in and bumped on it. It has just been me. The unfortunate thing is that the stairlift is here. And since it's here, I'm much more prone to use it than to walk up and down the stairs which is too bad because I should be doing that. I don't wear my Fitbit going up and down the stairs, but I miss out a bit on the exercise. But that's all right.

    Stannah has got that stuff together. They know what they're doing and their representatives are trained well. They are usually dealing with older people and they know how to handle that. It's a specific quality of personality you have to have. If people are crotchety, they have to know, "How do you soothe people like that?" Most of us don't wanna ever be old, but when someone comes in and installs a stairlift, they're like,"Oh, I guess I am old. Still, my experience with Stannah has been excellent and I couldn't be happier. The Stannah stairlift works.

In the end, we bought it in good faith. The installer, Jacob, was a sweetheart. Whenever he talked to me, he stopped what he was doing, he got off his knees, looked me in the eye, and we had a conversation. You don’t know how infrequently that happens these days. The product is great. Jacob did not leave the house until he knew that I felt confident about running that chair.

    We do some work for Stannah, so I knew about the company. I emailed my contact, and he sent a sales rep, Joe. He was very nice. My mother-in-law moved in with us recently and he was very patient with her and explained to her what the chairlift was gonna do. He took the measurements. We have kind of a narrow stairway, so he figured out what would fit, and he gave me three options. We picked the one we wanted, and he scheduled the installation a week and a half later.

    My mother-in-law can use it all by herself. She has become kinda the family expert on it. When new people come to the house, she demonstrates it for them. But the best part is she’s not climbing up and down stairs when I’m not around so I don’t have to worry about her having a broken leg at the bottom of the stairs. I would definitely recommend Stannah.

    I did some research and I also found someone who had an installation from Stannah done for their parents like a year ago, and they’ve been very happy with it. Everybody at Stannah was very informative and professional. We appreciated the installation as well. But we had a missing piece that wasn’t on the truck, that someone is coming to install later this week. Nevertheless, the quality of the stairlift is great.

    It’s kind of an unfortunate situation. We had it installed for my mother who was moving in. There was no other way to really get her into the house. It was from the basement to the kitchen. She was in her 90s but she had passed away. We had the installation done on the middle of December, and she was here like a week. We used it once for her. So, I’m kind of in a quandary as to what to do about it. We haven’t had it that long or used it. I know that they will buy it back, but at 30%.

    I called a few other people I knew in the area that had put stairs in for their parents, and they recommended Stannah. The sales rep was terrific and very nice. He explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. A straight inside stairlift was installed, and it fits into the stairwell perfectly and is very unobtrusive. The installation team was very clean and presentable. They were very thorough, explained how it was gonna be and they answered all my questions. We like the convenience of the stairlift. Its remote is helpful and handy to bring down at night. It’s really helped in our quality of life.

    Compared to other companies, Stannah seems to have it all above them at this point. We liked their price as well as the time of installation, quality of product and the previous reviews online. The salesperson sold us the product and looked at the installation location, priced it out, and gave us the warranty information. The service people were here on time, worked very neatly and confidently answered our questions. Overall, we’re very happy with the installation and the product to this date. We're very happy with how it fits into our home. It doesn’t take up the entire stairway. We have a 180-curve in the stairlift which was what I wanted and we use it once every couple of weeks. So far, it’s functioning very well. My wife has issues with her leg and uses the stairlift for the basement so she can do the laundry easier.

    Everybody from Stannah was very nice and professional. My wife picked out a stairlift and the installation was very efficient and everything was fine. The stairlift feels sturdy and the price was pretty fair. It squeaks a little bit though. I have leg weakness and having the stairlift has improved my life. I don’t use it every time I go up and down the stairs. But there are certain times I need it and when I need it, I need it.

    Considering our age, we decided we were gonna get a stairlift. It was becoming apparent that either we’d have to do a lot of remodeling downstairs or we should get one so that we can continue to use the upstairs rooms the way we like to. I have a colleague who got Stannah to put in a stairlift for them and they liked the service. Stannah also has daily ads in the Globe sports section and you can’t see those day after day without it imprinting on your mind. Things were very good during their sales visit and the guy that came had a good pitch. He didn’t beat around the bush. He answered all of our questions and was very accurate on the things he told us as it turned out. He was pleasant and forceful, a good salesman.

    The installation guy was also wonderful. He figured out a couple of things that needed doing in terms of providing safety buffers at the bottom and top, and what he could do, and created those for us. He was extremely pleasant and he explained everything, all the safety features. And he did the installation in an expeditious way. The whole thing took him around five hours and he did a very good job. So far, the stairlift is working fine and we’ve used it more than we thought we might. We used it also to cart Christmas decorations up and down from the storage closet and various things along that line. We’re very pleased with it. I would recommend Stannah.

    My stepdaughter felt that I needed a stairlift because I had been in the hospital and I had trouble walking. Everybody at Stannah was fine. I got a straight stairlift and it was installed in an hour and a half. I've had it for six weeks and while I don’t use it that much and I still use the stairs, it’s a help for the future.

    My husband needed some relief from going up the stairs as he was having a hard time. My neighbor across the street had a stairlift by Stannah and she had a very positive experience. She gave me the information, but I called a couple of other companies as well. The difference between the people that I spoke to on the phone and the people that I spoke with at Stannah was like night and day. I also did a lot of research, and the quality of Stannah's product surpassed that of the others from what I gathered. Even though Stannah is actually more money, it's well worth every penny you pay for. It has a 10-year warranty when the other companies give you only one.

    Their reps were wonderful and they were one of the reasons why we decided to purchase. The gentleman came to the house to speak with me about it, and there was no pressure. He was very personable and knowledgeable, and he answered all my questions. I didn’t ever hear, “Well, if you sign with us today…” which is always irritating. My husband was in the hospital at the time that he came out, and he gave me his card and told me to call him if I or my husband had any questions. My husband came home unexpectedly, and the rep arranged for our stairlift to be put in quickly. I was quite surprised that he was able to do that. Those are the things that mean a lot.

    We went with the straight stairlift that's for indoors, and the chair part swivels at the top of the stairs. So, when you get up, you’re not on the edge of the stairway and you’re facing the wall in the hallway. The person who came to install it was wonderful. He had it up and running and he taught us how to do it. My husband has balance issues as well so the swivel at the top makes a huge difference. I feel much more secure with him getting out of that chair, standing in the hallway, rather than teetering on the edge of a stair. As for the sturdiness of it, you get in it and you're going up the stairs, and you don’t feel like, “Is this gonna make it?” Stannah is the company to go with, and we have not been a bit sorry. I would highly recommend them to anybody.

    My husband has Alzheimer's and he can't walk. A stairlift is a necessity so we purchased one from Stannah. However, the step for going where you put your feet didn't work. So, I called the company and Benny, the serviceman, called back. He was prompt but he could have been a little more polite. He asked why I didn't know how to work it and why I didn't read the manual. I told him I wasn't here when it was installed. He also said, "Oh, you can fix that yourself, blah blah blah." I did fix it. He walked me through it but he was abrupt. My only problem with the stairlift was it doesn't turn automatically, which I wasn't aware of when I bought it. I just bought it online that's why I didn't realize that it doesn't change. Apparently, you have to pull up a lever and then my husband has to turn, which is difficult for him. Nevertheless, the stairlift takes him up and down.

    Thank you for your review. We’re sorry that you felt the serviceman was abrupt. We always try to be courteous. We’ll make sure we address it so that in the future you have more positive experiences. We do have a power swivel option that automatically turns the chair to face the landing as you hold the hand control. This comes at an additional cost, but can be retrofitted to your stairlift. If you would like find out more about this option you can call our service department.

    We went with Stannah since my father had used them before, and everything was good during the sales visit. The rep answered all my questions, and she was pleasant. There was a little confusion on where to put the stairlift, so the installation guy had to come back again 'cause he had the wrong parts. It works well, though I feel that we should move it to the other stairs. Still, he also answered all my questions.

    We saw an ad for Stannah and I originally got them in about two years ago for a quote. But we didn't need the stairlift right away and when the time came that we did need it, I went back to them since they were very nice on our first meeting. When my mom and I used the stairlift, it seems to be working fine. It also seems very nice.

    I have arthritic knees and I fell down the stairs three times. I saw Stannah's advertisement and they seemed to have a good deal when we called. Their stairlift looked like it was a good investment. The gentleman from Stannah was very nice. He came to the house and explained everything. Then the guy who came to install knew what he was doing. He put together the straight indoor stairlift in no time and we had a beautiful experience with the installation. The stairlift made it easy for me to walk up and down the stairs.

    I can't walk and I needed a stairlift. My wife had a pleasant experience with Stannah's rep during the sales visit and she said that he was very personable. We had straight stairlifts installed and they fit our home beautifully. We have two stairlifts. One with five steps going up to the bedrooms and another one with five steps going down from the kitchen to the playroom. There were two men who did the installation. The one who did the upper one seemed to know precisely what he was doing but the one that did the lower one installed it, but it needed adjustments and it wasn’t operating absolutely perfect. She said he was a lovely man, but he didn’t seem to be as knowledgeable as the other one.

    She said that the installation was absolutely perfect once they're done and there was no clean up on anything necessary. Everything operated at that moment as she expected it to. However, my wife said that the stairlift doesn't always respond immediately. She used it herself on occasion. If she sits in, she has to wiggle a little bit, then there’s a click, and then it goes on. Sometimes, it just goes immediately, it kinda hesitates then she has to shuffle a little bit. With the stairlift going up to the bedrooms, she said she’ll hear a scraping that sounds like metal against metal as she turns it around to get off on an occasion. She's wondering if that isn’t aligned properly also. Other than that, I like that the stairlifts work and they made our life a lot easier.

    Janet has some medical issues. We've checked out some stuff online and then we decided on Stannah. The gentleman during the sales visit was very nice, pleasant, and he covered everything we needed to know. We had another appointment with the different companies later on that day, which we ended up canceling and going with Stannah. We got a straight stairlift with the drop panel in the bottom from them. The installation experience was perfect. The installer was on time and he was done in less time than expected. Also, the quality of the stairlift is very good. It's quiet and seems to be sturdy and reliable. Having the stairlift has been a life changer for Janet. It was a very difficult issue getting up the stairs, but she's up and down with no problem now.

    I have steep stairs to the washer and dryer. I heard Stannah has a good reputation and I got them to install a straight stairlift for me. The installation was a good experience but the guy talked so much. It was too much information and I would’ve preferred that he didn't talk so much. The stairlift fits great into my home and its quality is excellent. It's very helpful and I like it a lot. Now, getting up the stairs is great. I've a terrific experience with Stannah. If you're considering to get one as well, then do it.
