    I have bad knees and been wanting a stairlift for years. I went with Stannah and the sales rep was great. He was not pushy at all. I had to put the installation off a couple weeks but when I finally got it done, it didn't take them long at all. My granddaughter was here when that happened and she said the installer explained it very well to her. I am very happy with my Stannah stairlift.

    I had another company come in but I did not like the salesperson. I went with Stannah for a refurbished stairlift and the installation was good, except for one aspect. I found my top step with a crack in it. I don't know whether that was caused by them or it was just an old step. I notified them and they said they'd make a note of it. Other than that, the stairlift does what it has to do. I've used it three or four times. It gets me down the cellar so I can do my laundry. The price was within my budget as well.

    Stannah took two stairlifts out of my old house and put a new one into my new house. The installation worked out fine. They were a big help. I got a curved stairlift and they made it possible. I had this last one for seven years and never had a problem. They only changed the battery in the chair. I'm very satisfied and I would recommend Stannah to a friend.

    I'm 75 and I'm still fine walking up and down the stairs, but I have trouble with carrying things down the stairs. I fell down the stairs one time I was carrying things. I wanted a stairlift and Stannah seemed to have a little better quality than the other ones that I researched. I went with them and the stairlift has helped tremendously. I don't have to carry things down anymore. It's slow but steady. For now, we're using the stairlift like a dummy waiter. But in case we need it when we get older, we'll have it.

    When the stairlift is down the stairs, the track is on the side, so there's no problem going up and down the stairs. But if the stairlift is at the top of the stairs, it's a little difficult getting around it to go down. So we keep it down the stairs and if we need to bring something down, we'll just use the automatic part to bring it up. Also, there's a light that is on on the arm of the stairlift all the time and we can't turn it off without unplugging it.

    I had a Stannah stairlift put in many years ago but I had it taken out because I didn't like the look of it and didn’t need it anymore. I'm very steady on my feet, but I was having back surgery so having a stairlift would make it easier to go up and down the stairs. I went with Stannah again and got a stairlift installed from the basement to the first floor, and then from the first floor to the second floor. Tony, the sales rep, was perfect. Bradley and James, the installers, were both great. I like the feeling of safety that comes with having the stairlift. The quality is great as well. Everything has been perfect.

    We're moving in my mother-in-law, and we needed some help to have her get up the steps. A guy from Stannah came in and explained everything to us properly. He gave us the pricing and the breakdown, whether it'll be worth renting and purchasing. He did a video call with my husband. The installation was done in about an hour and it was done great as well. We had an electrician in to help and let us know where to put the cord. We haven't used the stairlift yet because my mother-in-law is not here yet, but it seems to be working okay.

    I like the quality of Stannah's salesmanship and product and we got a straight indoor stairlift from them. The installation went really smoothly. The stairlift goes from the basement to the first floor. It fits perfectly in my home and I like that it has a foot lift and a seatbelt. The price is too high but everything is too high nowadays. The quality is excellent and I got what I paid for. I would recommend Stannah if I knew somebody that needed a stairlift.

    A couple of other places came over here and wanted to deliver the stairlift at the door. The other one wasn't coming over to talk to us about the stairlift. But Stannah had somebody talk to us about and set us up. Our Stannah stairlift is excellent and we’re very happy with it. It fits into our stairwell perfectly. It runs very smoothly and doesn't make any noise. I use it now, but it was for my husband. He's disabled and has bad back and leg. It helps us upstairs. Otherwise, it's rough without it.

    I needed a stairlift because I'm paralyzed. I chose Stannah because I saw an advertisement. Everything was excellent with them. The people were great. The product is great. Customer service is awesome. I've had no problem at all. The stairlift is on the stairs, but I don't think it gets in the way of anybody. The chair can't be open to have people walk by it, but that means I can't fall when I get out of it.

    My only problem is I'm on the curved stairway and into the basement. So, sometimes the connection isn't good. But if you move a little bit, it picks back up. When I hold the remote, I have to keep it at the bottom of the stairs so it's not in the way of others. When I call it up from upstairs, I'm using the remote. I have to really go deep into the stairway and turn the remote quite a bit for it to pick it up. Otherwise, it works great. I've already recommended it to two people.

    I couldn't go up the stairs without losing my breath and I tried to reach out to Acorn, but Stannah called me back. We have plenty of room and the installers were very good when they came up and measured the space. They went over everything with us. When we've had the stairlift for about a month, it wouldn't go all the way to the top by about a couple of inches. It was a mechanical issue and the guy came out right away and fixed it. We had a card to call, so it was fine. I’m very happy with the stairlift. It's great and has made life better. We love it.

    I called two different places, and a sales guy was sent out who measured everything. I was ready to buy but I never heard from them again. They did all that work and they never called me back, even though I left a message. Stannah’s guy came out here the next day and gave me a quote. That was on a Friday and they had somebody here on Wednesday to install it. The guy was great and was in and out of here in no time.

    This is a 100-year-old house with thin, steep stairways and the straight stairlift fits just exactly, but it's fine. My wife has Parkinson's disease and going up the steps is tough. But now, she doesn't have to go up the steps anymore. I take the laundry up with the stairlift because I'm almost 70, so it's getting tough, too. The stairlift works every time and just as you’d expect. Stannah is a wonderful company to deal with. When you get a nice service like that with a guy who knows what he’s doing and talking about, it’s a wonderful thing.

    I have very bad arthritic knees and climbing the stairs is very painful, and I finally decided to buy a stairlift. There was one good review from someone on the West Coast about Stannah and their quote was in the middle of two other quotes I got. One of the other companies I was considering had a manual rail but Stannah offered the automatic safety rail that goes down. The gentleman who did the sales visit was very nice and I enjoyed talking to him. And it was then that I made up my mind that I was gonna go with Stannah. I got the indoor straight stairlift and the installation went smoothly. The gentleman came, had all the supplies, took him a couple of hours to put it together, and it worked fine when he left.

    I had a repairman here last week because the stairlift abruptly stopped one night and I couldn’t get it to go. He replaced a piece and it’s working now. The quality is fine but I would have liked the price to have been a little less. But I got what I needed. And Stannah couldn't come down any lower. If people are interested in Stannah, they should go ahead with it. They stand behind their product.

    Stannah Stairlifts is a good company. They have an excellent price. I was really thinking it was going to be a lot more because I had quotes where they were saying it will cost $10,000. So, 4,000 something was a good price for me. As far as the stairlift, I sit on it and I go up. My bedroom is on the second floor, and I'm confined into the dining room where my bed is, and I wanted very much so to go to my room so the dining room can be a dining room again and we can sit and eat our dinner, instead of sitting on a recliner while eating. I'm confined to a recliner because I had a stroke in 2023.

    One day out of the blue, Ryan said that they had a refurbished stairlift for me that they can put in. I told him a lot of people that I had gotten quotes from said that stairs would not fit. He said, “What I see here is we have no problem to put it in.” When he said that, I said, “Okay. Let me take it then, so I can go upstairs.” I got a straight stairlift. It goes upstairs to the top step.

    They got the stairlift in, but I couldn't sit on the chair. The chair was too small. I’m a big person and maybe if the chair was 28 inches wide, I'd be able to fit into it and be able to do it. I couldn't even fit in at all, and my feet didn't want to stay on the foot rest. As I put one on, the other one would fall off place. My experience was great until I went up and I couldn't fit. If I could have sit in the chair, I'd be using it right now up and down and I would be loving it. I want to go to my room and sleep on my big bed instead of a little twin bed.

    I don't have problems with the make. The sales person was excellent. The installer was excellent, too. The one that took it out was also excellent. So, I can't give anything bad. The only thing is I did not fit the seat. Their customer service reps were very good in knowledge. They were very helpful. I was told it would take maybe a week or two before they can even come out to install. They were out that following Thursday when I called on a Monday. Then at some time, it took maybe 10 minutes to take it out.

    I was shopping around, and Stannah was very proactive and prompt, and they interacted with me. It was a year-long process. Initially, they quoted some amount, and then because of the tariff, the price went up by almost 2,500. On the internet, the prices are 8,000 and 7,000, so 17,000 was way too much. I wanted the price to go down a little bit more, but that's okay. The stairlift was installed on the 3rd of this month, so it's not even two weeks old. The installation went smoothly, and the team was competent and didn't take more time than they told me initially, so that part was fine. But I did not like the turning-around type of seat, so I will have to call Stannah again and extend it and make it go up to the landing in the right way. It's new now, so it's working, and it looks good. But I would recommend others to shop around because money is also very important.

    Stannah Stairlifts is a company that has been here. My mother-in-law had one in her past life. We had one for her to go up to her bedroom at night. She got it serviced frequently from the people in Massachusetts. We figured they've been in business since many years back, and we thought we'd choose the same company.

    Stannah came and installed the lift, and we're happy with it. The tech walked us through all the features of another type that we could have got, and I was impressed. It's not obtrusive for anybody else going up and down the stairs, and it works nicely, at least for the few times we've used it. When you push the button, the footrest goes up and down automatically. I don't have to pull a lever. We live on a two-level condominium, and that's going to help us go up the stairs to go to bed. I thought stairlifts were around $4,000. But when I got prices from other people, it's in line. And it's a quality stairlift, and I paid the price I thought I would have to pay for it.

    I had a stairlift that was functioning very poorly and I had to remove it. I wanted to get a new one and I researched a lot of companies, and the first one I used was Leaf Home Stair Lifts. As I continued to do my research, Stannah was the best and I got the stairlift from them. It’s an interesting chair because it runs on a battery. Electricity charges the battery, and it's operating marvelously. It's everything that they said it was going to be, and it was 2,000 cheaper than Leaf. It also fits into the stairwell. I live in a big house and I'm going to be 85 on my next birthday, so getting up one flight of stairs is becoming a big deal. Without the stairlift, it would be very hard for me to live here. I would strongly recommend Stannah. I haven't had it long enough but right now, it works. It's quiet and reliable, and every time I get in, it goes great. So, I'm fine with it.
