    I had a good experience with Stannah. The rep was very polite. He did his job and did it well. My chairlift comes all the way down and goes all the way up. I push the two side arms and the seat down and push the button. It's a good fit for my stairwell. Having this chairlift is much easier than climbing the stairs. I'm 77 and I have a difficult time. I'm glad I got Stannah. It has greatly improved my life. The ride is smooth and it comes all the way down and I turn around at the top. The speed is fine. It's not too fast and not too slow.

    The sales rep understood the questions that I was asking and explained everything during the sales visit. We got the straight stairlift and it fits into the stairwell perfectly. The installers were very efficient and knew what they were doing and asked if I was pleased with it. So, they were very good. The installation took a couple of hours the first time and when they came back two other times to fix the back of the motor, it wasn't that long. We put the stairlift in because of my COPD and two weeks later, we went camping and I fell and broke my hip. So, it worked out very well. I'm very happy with the Stannah stairlift. We had a few problems at first with adjustments but the installers came right out as soon as I called and rectified everything that was a problem. I'm doing very well and very pleased with it.

    The rep was very thorough and he knew what he was saying. He was very in-depth. The options they gave were workable. The techs were very professional and they showed up on time. They cleaned up after themselves. I was very happy with the service. The stairlift fits very well in our home. It's durable and it's working well. Now my mom can come downstairs and go upstairs. It makes her much more independent.

    I was getting all these high prices and then one company was offering 8 grand. Then Will, the salesman, got mine down to 8 grand by getting a used chair for the chairlift. It's a double-rail chairlift that goes up the steps and hangs a left. So I used Stannah. Two gentlemen came in for the installation. They finished in record time. They were very nice. They came from New Jersey to install the chairlift, which was amazing. They taught me how to go for a ride on it. The chairlift was structurally built very well. They took their time putting it together. They covered all the wires up.

    The chairlift starts at the bottom of the steps on the outside of the railing and there are two round tubes that this chair rides on, and then it goes up around and it stays along the railing, and around nine steps up, it makes a sharp 90-degree turn and drops you off on to the landing. It's very nice. But the part for the step where you put your feet on is not performing well. You hit the button and it doesn't go down. I have to re-cycle everything in order to get it to go down sometimes for the feet. This issue didn't start till after the installers left and I don't know how to reach them.

    The stairlift that I had to purchase was an outdoor one, so it was kind of specialized. I had two quotations that came to the house, and I chose Stannah. The sales guy that came out was Moe. He looked at what I needed. I purchased the stairlift through their 0% financing. I didn't really wanna buy a brand new one, and he offered a refurbished one, which is just as good as brand new for me because of the warranties. The quality was the same, and you would never tell whether it was new or used. I was fortunate that they did have one. He gave me a price, and that was how it worked.

    Right now, every time I use the stairlift, it is fine. I don't see any issues with quality. It works as how it was presented to me as. If somebody had asked me if they needed to purchase a stairlift, I would recommend Stannah. I had no problem with the quotation, and currently, from what I have right now, I don't have an issue with the unit itself. The warranty is there, and it's working.

    The lady from Stannah came in, and we talked about the stairlift. She measured then gave me a price. I had priced it before with other companies, and the price the lady gave me was about average. I made the decision to get the stairlift, then they did the install. I gave a deposit, and when they were done, I paid it off. My wife has been using the stairlift, and it looks and works good. It’s got three turns and it seems to fit perfectly. I'm happy with it, and I would recommend it.

    I bought a Stannah stairlift for my elderly mother. I was able to do choose it via pictures and I measured. I didn't really meet the salesperson but she was very nice on the phone. We spoke a few times and made that they had everything that they needed on there before we set up the installation. My mother lives in a very old house in the front. There's this big open spiral staircase and it would have been way too expensive. Also, there are more stairs outside. So, we had to do two chairlifts in her back hall. It's really tight, but it's because the staircase is narrow and the stairlift fits there. Plus, I feel safer in it being with less space around.

    But because the staircase is narrow, when you try to turn the chair at the top, the arms of the chair sort of hitting the railing. So, they're coming back this week to put a smaller armrest on her chair. Other than that, it seems like the stairlift works fine. I can do use it by remote control or I let my mom have full control on the chair. That would make her feel better to go at her own pace. It's a great concept and I'm hoping that once she gets over her fear of it, we can get her out more often.

    I like Stannah Stairlifts. I've had them for the last 15 years and recently did an upgrade. The process was excellent. Once I decided what I was gonna do, I called them and they were here within two days. They measured everything and made sure everything would fit. I had the old stairlift moved to my cellar stairs and the new one put on my stairs that went upstairs.

    Tony, the sales rep with Stannah, came out to talk to us and measure out. He knew exactly what we needed and answered all my questions. Jen came out to install it and she was remarkable. She worked from 9:30 when she got here till 5:30 when it was finished. It's a very tight fit and if our stairwell was narrower by a quarter of an inch, we wouldn't have been able to put it in. But so far, it's worked well. It feels very secure. I am just waiting to hear about the status of our new motor to replace the defective one that's in the stairlift.

    The Stannah Stairlifts seemed to be sturdier. They had fewer problems. They also can take someone that weighs more than I do. The installation was very good. The track had to be custom-made because it was going up, not only from the lower level, it had a stop at a landing, and then turn around and go back up the stairs to the upper floor.

    Everything's wonderful - right from the salesperson, installation, the quality of the product, the warranty, even the handles on the chair itself. I like the chair itself and the safety features of the chair. I felt that the other chairs possibly someone could slide off of, where Stannah is not. I felt it was more secure. Also, when the salesperson came, how he did all the measurements, he was very particular and meticulous on everything.

    I was supposed to get my Stannah stairlift installed but it's an outdoor staircase and they got a rain forecast, so they canceled. But instead of just postponing it for a day, they postponed it for a whole week. So, I arrived at the house without any stair chair and I was not a happy camper. Other than that, it was a one-man install and he was polite. He gave us a little tutorial, which could have been a little better, but otherwise, he did a great job. The stairlift has worked fine so far and it has enabled me to get out of the house and get to the doctor. Without it, I don't know whether I would have been able to use this house.

    We knew we wanna get the Stannah stairlift but we made sure my father was home and healthy first to invest in it. It was almost a token when he gets back from rehab. So, getting the stairlift installed took under six weeks. It was nobody's fault but time. My only thing is I never got confirmation that the installers were coming. I had to reach out to them. But as soon as I reached out, the sales rep was very responsive and I was given the window of 11:00 to 2:00, and the installers were there at the strike of 11:00, which was perfect. We needed to know about the time because it was at my parents’ home.

    The quality is awesome and I would recommend it. I wish the price was negotiable but you get what you pay for. Being a recent amputee, my father doesn't have to worry about never going downstairs where he enjoys his man cave. That right there has been worth the investment and he's only been down a handful of times, so I can't wait to celebrate the holidays and everything else upcoming without asking how we are gonna get him downstairs.

    The person who came down to demonstrate the Stannah Stairlift to us was very nice and knowledgeable. I was thinking maybe they would have to attach it to the wall, but after he got through talking to us, he said, "No, it's not intrusive." They just attach it to the stairs and if we ever had to take it out, there would be no damage to any part of the stairwell. It's attached to the stair treads and they fill it in a little bit. We've had it for a month now and it does the job. It does what we intended it. It's easy to use. It's no muss, no fuss. It's got very few controls for my wife. When she gets in it, she feels safe.

    Stannah Stairlifts came out to the house, did all the measuring, and gave me a quote. I've spoken to the sales rep three times over the last three years. So, I was very comfortable with her. She was good. We expected the installers between 9:00 and 11:00. And they called and told us they would be two hours late. We weren't happy about that, but the things happened. At least, they called and told us. They said it would take three to five hours. And it took five hours. The installation time was right. It was just a bit later than we expected. The stairlift is curved and indoor. The installers walked my mother through it. She was able to ask questions. And the person was very patient. He did a very good job explaining to her. The stairlift is exactly what I expected. Since it has gone in, my mother uses it every day. She could walk the stairs, but she chooses to use the stairlift. My mother is very happy with it.
