Stannah has a good rating on the Better Business Bureau site for repairs and service, which led me to choose them. The sales visit was great. It was very helpful, informative, efficient, and included a full explanation. The installation team was great. I have one stairlift between the first and second floor and another one down to the basement. They're very easy to operate, and when issues come up, they're very easy to fix because there's a window that shows the number of the issue. You can look it up on the website and solve it very easily, so I haven't had to call for any kind of service. The problems I've had were ones that I created myself and I haven't had any reportable problems with them since I got them. The stairlift is well made. I don't see any parts that could break down easily or parts that are exposed. It all seems very sturdy, so I've been very pleased with them.

Stannah Stairlifts called us back. They sent someone here. He was very good at showing us the options. They came four or five days after we purchased, installed the stairlift, and it went very good. They warned us to move our big stuff in before we installed the chairlift. It has worked well. My husband and son are big guys, and they go up and down. Also, I'm able to get up to take a shower upstairs. Go with Stannah.

I put in another name, and it brought up Stannah Stairlifts. I thought I was looking at the other name. I was looking to get something done quickly, so I just stayed with Stannah. There were time delays on things, which I didn't appreciate, but I understand things happen. It was good and professional. The stairlift is for someone in my church, and it's everything that we needed it to be.

My husband has spinal stenosis and he can't walk very well. He needs help to get to a toilet in the house, so we decided to order a stairlift. He felt that Stannah was the best from all he read online, so we went with them. In our home, we have two steps up to the bathroom, then the stairs continue up and around. And when we ordered, we said we wanted to stop at the toilet, but Stannah's reps didn't do that. So, they had to redo it. Other than that, the stairlift's sturdiness is fine.

I interviewed three other companies, and Stannah Stairlifts was the best. Their reps were most knowledgeable and seemed to be more experienced. The sales visit was positive. The installers were young, friendly, and knew what they were doing. It was good. After the installers finished the job, my wife said that she wished she had ordered the burgundy seat cover. The installer said he had one in the truck and he was just gonna give it to her, and he did. That was wonderful. We got the stairlift that has two curves in it and it has worked perfectly, and we’re happy.
My wife has congestive heart failure and it was a necessary decision that we had to make. We made the best decision and we are very pleased with Stannah for what they did for us. There were a lot of choices available, and we chose Stannah. People should also shop around first, but make sure that Stannah is included in their search, and they would probably be very happy with them.

A friend of mine had a son that works for Stannah that installs them, and she said, “You should call the company that Greg works for.” So I called Stannah, and they came. The gentleman was very nice. The bottom line was like $2,000 more than the other company, but it was so much better made. This one is much stronger and has better quality. It had the button to push down the little footrest. So, we ordered it through that, and it was installed last week, and we're very happy with it. It's bigger than I thought it was going to be, but it works very well.

Overall, a very satisfying experience including two prompt repair visits needed soon after installation. About those repairs: Twice, while exiting the seat, I have caught my right heel on the shield on the lower part of the right-hand side of the chair (from the rider's perspective) displacing it, incapacitating the device and necessitating a call for repair. I have learned this is a common problem and results from the deletion of two screws used to hold the shield in place in former models.
I would hope you will restore that bit of additional design, the screws probably having been removed to achieve a trivial manufacturing cost saving. It is really unfair to leave us users with the important task of exiting the chair with great care as to the placement of the right foot. I imagine getting one's heel caught in the way this happens could be dangerous also. Also, I would recommend returning to all the installations not having he screws in place and retrofitting as necessary to solve the problem for owners of those units. Costly, but well worth it if that saves you from just one lawsuit by an injured user.

My husband and I are very much along on years, and we have our exercise equipment in the basement. We have both been hospitalized this year, and we're having a hard time recovering. Going down the stairs, initially was hard for both of us, and it continues to be hard for my husband. We thought it was time to invest in a stairlift. We had a friend who had one and has had it for about three years and was very happy with it. He got a reference from a friend who we know is a great researcher before he buys anything and had researched it. I was hesitant at first because I like everything made in the USA, but Stannah was not. But I filled out something online for more information.
The people at Stannah were persistent. I got emails and a phone call or two, but they were very nice to deal with and made it very easy. I found out that while it's made in the UK, their parts center was right down the road from us here in Franklin, Mass, about an hour and 15 minutes away, and we could get any parts or service very easily from them. The rep did an excellent presentation, was very easy to talk to, not pushy and answered all of our questions. It was all in all an extremely satisfying experience. In this day and age, one doesn't expect prompt service on anything, but everything with Stannah's service was prompt, from when the salesperson came to when the installer came. The installer was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He did it in under four hours.
The only thing is my husband has fear of heights, and he had a problem getting on the stairlift for the first several times because it's at the top of our stairs going into the lower level. You're looking down the stairs and the stairlift is not with the back immediately to the stairs, but it's slanted. I ended up buying a grab bar and putting it up so that he has something else to hold on to. The stair landing at the top of the stairs to go down to the lower level isn't huge and there's a door there so there's not huge amounts of room. But putting the grab bar on was really the factor that allowed him to feel like he wasn't going to fall. He's 90, so I had to show him over and over again how I was sitting on the stairlift before he was comfortable. Now he goes down all the time by himself and uses his treadmill. It's been an excellent experience with Stannah and with the stairlift. It's a fair price as well. I would certainly recommend it.

My bookkeeper contacted and met with several different companies. He had to consider what was going to work best for me and my needs for accessibility to the second floor in the house. It was the normal due diligence someone should do before making a large purchase as such. We ended up going with Stannah and we purchased a curved chairlift for the stairwell because it was better for me. So far, I am very pleased with it. Having never been on a stairlift, except for one occasion, which was an outside stair lift installed by Stannah, I found it very functional.
But I had a problem because I thought that the design could have been improved in terms of the location. They could have moved the chain closer to the stairwell and that would have given me more room when I left the chair, so I can close it up, and for people to come up and walk up the stairs with the mechanism on the left side as they ascend. There's at least 3 inches there.
I had the salesman come out and look at it. He was really sort of noncommittal and he didn't want to come out. He didn't choose to say an error was made in judgment and I understand that he was the person who provided the engineering data for the chair lift to be designed. Other than that, the stairlift works fine and it has done a great deal of positive things for my life. But if my wife wants to bring laundry up, the extra 3 inches that could have been accommodated was not there. Now, it would require relocating the major mechanism and there'd be more holes in the stairs. And nobody would be happy with that.

I research online on different stairlift companies and I was looking for one that did not have the rail or the chain link piece that carries the chair too low to the ground because I have three golden retrievers. I wanted something that was going to be pet-friendly and not get gunked up with dog hair. We started looking into Stannah, then my father-in-law who lives with us had a fall, so getting the stairlift was something that became a rather urgent matter. They came out the next day and did the measurements. Their reps were very professional and very quick.
It took about six weeks for them to install it, since we had to have ours custom built because of our stairs and the timing was reasonable. Other companies quoted us 12 to 16 weeks. Then, there were two people that installed our Stannah stairlift and they were both very friendly. They were in and out in four hours. They were also very thorough in helping us understand how to use it and what we should do if it should stop working. They were excellent.
The stairlift works as expected. My father-in-law is able to get on and off it by himself, and it allows him to be back upstairs in his bedroom on the second floor rather than in a hospital bed in the living room. He's also able to go up and downstairs in order to take a shower. We haven't had any issues with it. It’s been six weeks since it's been installed and everything has worked great. I would have liked to have paid less, but it wasn't for my benefit and overall, the price was pretty reasonable. We ended up going with a second-hand chair, but the rails are the same. And it didn't impact the warranty. So, it was $2,500 less to go with the used chair and you'd never know that this was a used chair.

We like the Stairlift. But, it did break down two months after installation. It took a week to get a repair person, but he was great. However, he had to fix several small problems with the original installation that had led to the lift getting out of alignment.
Thank you for expressing your satisfaction with the Stairlift. We're glad to hear the repair technician resolved the issues effectively after initial complications. We regret any inconvenience caused by the delays and are continually working on improving our services. Should you need any further support or have future concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

My Stannah stairlift fits fine into the stairwell. However, because the stairlift that I have does not swivel, it presents a safety issue. I've already discussed that with Stannah. I'm a Stannah customer for over 20 years. My first stairlift had a swivel. It would turn the person around. This current one does not. I would not have had one installed that doesn't swivel. The one that I have requires memory. If someone has dementia, they have a problem with memory. They're not going to do that extra step. They're going to fall down the stairs.
I like Stannah, and I like the service I've gotten for 20 years. I just cannot use the stairlift in this current format. It has to be revised. Stannah is going to send someone out. There has always been follow-up. It hasn't been done. Unfortunately, I have to pay $600 in order for it to be corrected. I would have done that from the beginning. I would tell anyone who's got elderly people they should plan for a stairlift in their budget.

Three times the Stannah Stairlifts rep told me the stairlift would be installed. I had a doctor's appointment scheduled, and I had to cancel them because I couldn't get back up the steps. The first one was the 29th of June. And the second date, they told me it was a misunderstanding. They told me they just opened the box the night before, and there was a part missing. Kevin told me when I ordered the thing that they had them in stock, but they didn't order. I don't know what happened there.
The third time, they finally came and installed the stairlift. It's nicely built. I like it, but I can't hook the seatbelt because it's on the side. It should be in the middle of my waist. I wanted to know if it could be adjusted. I called the office Monday, and the rep said she would call me back, but nobody did. So, I haven't had good service from them. Don't plan on using it until it's installed because you might have to cancel those appointments.
Also, when the rep was working with the paperwork, I thought it was 5,000. But after he left, that's what we still owed, and my husband gave him a check for almost 2,000. So, it was 7,000. I could have had this company from North Carolina, but I thought go with somebody local, and I'd get better service. Theirs was 4,000. So, it is expensive.

We did an internet search and came upon Stannah Stairlifts. When their rep came out, he was the best salesman that was in for a long time. Then, the installation went really well and everything went as planned. We have no complaints. We got the stairlift that curves, and it is used in the morning and at night. So far, I noticed a could of hitches on it. One is there's a little bit of vibration when the chair is moving up and down. I don't expect it to be vibration free, but there is way more vibration than I anticipated. Also, we failed to follow up on the rebate check that their office was supposed to send to cover for the fact that the seatbelt that we ordered was across the chest, not across the waist.

Our experience with Stannah has been good. We’ve had it for almost a month now, and it’s for my mom. She is almost 95 and was struggling with stairs with her hands and her arms, so she agreed to get one. My mom knows someone who, in the past, had a stairlift, and they were local in Hopkinton, and they were very happy with it. They’ve moved from Hopkinton now to Franklin. So, we went with that company first to talk to. It was a great experience.
The gentleman was very informative and explained the details on how it worked and answered any questions we had. Was not pushy at all. Left paperwork for us to look at and consider, and then gave them a call when we were ready, which was the next day. The installation took three hours, but it was very easy. There weren't any complications at all with the electric. They were able to put a wire under the corner of the rug or the door frame and plug it in right behind a dresser, right on top of the stairs. The quality of the stairlift has been great. It's worth the money. The people were also very friendly and helpful, and it was very quick from my initial phone call to have a rep call me, and then within a week, it was installed.

Stannah gave me a quote when we were considering it, as well as two other companies. My mom is in an older home from the 1800s and she has a curved stairway. The salesperson said the stairlift would have enough clearance and it would be to code. So, I said we were good. The installation team was wonderful. They did what they had to do. I needed to put in an outlet, which I had not realized before, and we got it done. We were told that without the stairlift being plugged in, the battery would run out in about eight days. It ran out just as the electrician was coming in so that was very accurate. I wanted to make sure it was gonna start again and the team that installed it said to give it 24 hours of charge, and it should be good. And it was exactly as they said.
I like that my mom gets up safely through the stairlift. We invested in the extra turn, and it turns to the area that she has to get off. She loves it. I tried it and it was a little too slow for me. We need to speed it up, but not when you’re turning 92. The price was high but competitive with other companies. Friends asking about Stannah should give it a shot.

I went with Stannah Stairlifts due to their reputation, above all else, and the sales visit was very professional. They had to come back and take some more pictures, ‘cause the factory got back to the salesman that they needed a couple other scans. Other than that, everything went smoothly. The installation team was highly professional too. I've been a contractor for over 50 years, and they don't fool around. They came in, did their work and all came out fine. They’re very serious about what they do. The stairlift I got turns twice on the way up and I love the quality. One can tell. Having been a contractor a long time, I've seen all kinds of things, including other stairlifts, and this one is absolutely first rate. I would recommend Stannah Stairlifts highly.

I went with Stannah based on my research, the length of time the guys have been in business, the reliability, and then ultimately the cost. I had a very good experience with the sales rep. I got a straight stairlift and Stannah did a good setup. But the installation was not a good experience. The installer ended up removing a banister in a way that damaged the wall. When I asked how that was going to be addressed, his first response was, "Well, that's on you to fix." I told him, "Absolutely not. That should have been discussed with me before you did it, if you thought it was going to damage my property."
I spoke to the sales rep and we worked out a deal to cover the cost. The service guy was nice, but the customer service there was atrocious. The idea that you wouldn't talk to a homeowner before you damage the home and give you the opportunity to proactively address it seemed very odd to me. Then his response initially was very dismissive and kind of, "That's on you now," which was not acceptable. I gave that feedback to the sales rep, and he addressed it very quickly.
Hello Gabriel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing Stannah. While we're glad to hear you had a positive experience with your sales representative and the stairlift itself, we're truly sorry that the installation did not meet your expectations.

We called Stannah to get a price to see whether we could get a stairlift or a stair elevator. We went with a stairlift because we have a nice, wide staircase. We could have put an elevator in because we also have a space where we could do that. But when looking at the price difference between a stair chair and an elevator that works just as efficiently, we went with a less expensive item. The stairlift works beautifully. The only reason I use it right now is to bring laundry downstairs to the first floor, and then take it back upstairs. But it saves my back and the potential of falling. So, we use it for something that's really not getting our physical bodies up and down the steps. The only complaint I have is that we were supposed to get paperwork for the possibility that you could get a rebate on tax. Also, If we sell the house, that guarantee and everything goes with it, but we'd like to have proof of purchase and the paperwork that goes with it.

Then it goes up the stairs, makes a curve around the landing, and curves to go up the second half of the staircase. And then it curves at the top, so that when my wife gets off it, she's not facing the stairs, but facing the hallway and can therefore be safer.
Stannah's sales guy was very professional. His name was Jonathan and I watched him do what he was going to do to measure everything. He did it with a lot of technology, so that they could get the measurements correctly. He talked to me about the cost for a brand-new setup, and one that would be a reconditioned chair. But the railing going up requires a custom built stairlift. It would have cost somewhat less if we got a reconditioned stairlift, and Jonathan offered me $1,500 off as an incentive to do that one, but that one was very straight up while my wife couldn't take two straight stairs up. He also told me that there's a three-year warranty on the seat and one year on the motor. So, he made clear what the benefits were and what the cost differential was because of the customization, and of getting something brand new.
Other than that, the stairlift has a relatively low noise level. The highest noise level is when the foot platform comes down because when you release it, it just comes down and goes whack. Not on somebody's feet though, because my wife is good about keeping her feet out of the way. All in all, I was very satisfied with Jonathan. He was very responsive early on when we were going through the process of setting things up, and he tried to be responsive later. We spoke again when the machine had an issue. It would go two stairs worth of distance and stop, then it’d go two stairs and stop, two stairs and stop. So, it took a long time to go up and a very long time to come down. Then, when it reached the end of the road, on the top or the bottom, it started to beep. And it would have beeped all night had I not just shut it off.
When I called for service, my fantasy was that they were going to be right there the next day. I spoke to them on Tuesday and they couldn't get to me until Friday late afternoon. Then they called me up Friday morning and the person who was going to work on the machinery called in sick, so there was nobody to come on said day. I asked them on the phone if was there somebody who could do overtime to come and do it as quickly as possible, and they brought someone in the next day who came on time and was very diligent in finding out that the whole problem was all about. It turned out that a nut fell off of a bolt that regulated some of the workings of the machinery.
So, I was unhappy about how long it took to get somebody to the house. Everybody has one of these in the house, not because they're a fun ride, but because somebody in the household can’t do the stairs. Going up and down the stairs for my wife is very painful. She has arthritic feet, and she has had two hip replacements. She’s 82 years old, going to be 83 years old in two months, and at that age, you get cranky about what you need and you want it immediately. But the fellow that they sent out, Leo, traveled about an hour and a half from New Jersey to do this job on Saturday. He was right there with the machinery and he knew what he was doing. After he found the problem, he went back to find the part that fell off to confirm that that was what was lost, and he found the nut in the washer that fell off of this bolt.
He set it up, then when he checked it, he had to do some adjustment. He spent another 15 minutes doing adjustments on the curve at the bottom and working his way up. He was terrific, very personable, and a great representative for the company, if he works directly for the company. If he doesn't, he's someone I would recommend them to use whenever they can. All in all, the sale was very up and straightforward. The installation was very professional and the work that Leo did was very professional.

I got a lumbar spine problem, and I could barely walk. I had to have a stairlift going to the basement. Stannah Stairlifts was strongly recommended by the dock company over in the west side of New Hampshire and I went with them. The price is reasonable and my experience with the sales rep was perfect. There was one guy for the installation, and he was great as well. He demonstrated the buttons, levers, and all those parts. I went with a straight stairlift, but it's a little tight on my knees ‘cause the stairway is fairly narrow. The gal who sold it to us said that it would work, and it does, but I just got to make sure that my knees don't get hung up on the handrail. The seat is a little tight, but that's because of the narrow stairway. But I could fit in it, and it works, and that's all that matters.

The quality of the Stannah stairlift is very good. But their buyback policy, for one, is not great. But it was something that, at least, leaves a little bit of the pain of getting rid of it.

The look of the system was nice and did what we needed it to do. It also fits fine in our stairwell. I personally really like it. However, I find it a little complicated for my mother at her age, but it's because it has a midway stop. There's really no way around that. I am very happy with the product myself. They also have many different options with the chair being used and things like that, and that helps alleviate some of the cost. I found the cost reasonable for what it is.

My wife needed to go up and down the stairs in our house. And it was getting more and more difficult for her to go up and down to the point where it was really painful. And either we had to abandon one level for her, or we had to get a stairlift that would make it possible for her to use that. Everybody we've talked to who knew anything about stairlifts said Stannah is the stairlift to get. So far, it's worked very well. But if anything is frustrating, it's how slow it goes. Especially when it's being called up and down and not being used. But it's safe, and it's easy to use. It gives my wife access to a floor she couldn't get to in our home. It's wonderful. It does take up some room, though. But it's manageable. It was expensive. But it was worth it for the benefit that we got.

I purchased the stairlift for the purpose of my husband's use. However, when Stannah first put it home, they had to remove one of the bars, and he wanted the bar replaced. He hasn't been able to use it yet, because he's had a lot of issues with falls. But I've used it to carry things and it has served that perfect. When they did the sales visit, the reps were very polite. At the same time, it was very, very nice, very pleasant, and very helpful. I appreciated that. I appreciated the fact that we got it corrected in time. There was one issue, which I did not realize because of the refund. I had to correct that, and I sent the correct amount that it needed to be replaced, so that worked out.
Stannah had another stairlift, which was going down, and that was ridiculous. It was taking up almost the entire staircase going down. So, I was within my time that I could ask for a refund. I told them I wanted that taken out entirely. I didn't want it. They did put the one going upwards, which we still have. They put it close into the wall because of the position it was in, which was making it difficult to go up. So, they did that. I was just a little disappointed. Because of what I saw in the photographs, the salesperson made it look simpler. It was all against the wall, and it did not. The appearance was not correct in my view. I was dissatisfied with that.
I think the actual machines are well constructed. One issue I didn't like, is that when the stair lift goes to the top of the stairs, it swings around at the top and does not swing around with the step on it.

It took six weeks to have my stairlift made. It's special. It has a curve in it and they manufacture those independent of each other. It’s made specifically for the stairs in my house. It was installed yesterday. The guys were here for quite a little time. It wasn't a hurry-up-get-it-done. They took their time and I felt good about the install. The guys knew what they were doing, and it all went smooth and I got a nice presentation on what I what I need to do and how to operate it. It was very informative. My stairlift was quite expensive, but people get what they pay for and what I got was well worth the money.
I'm completely pleased with Stannah and I would suggest that people go with this company. Everything I had, from the salesman down to the installer, was all positive. We had conversations with other companies and it was questionable. They weren't sure about this. I was really pleased on how Stannah presented everything right upfront.

The fact that we could go in the showroom in Franklin and that we are dealing with a local company with great reviews, there was no doubt to choose Stannah for our stairlift. We are extremely pleased and glad that we chose Stannah.

We looked at one stairlift company, but it was much more expensive than Stannah. They also felt that because of the way their stairlift was constructed, it might not fit in our staircase. We then went with Stannah and got one of each of their curved and straight stairlifts. We're very happy with the quality. The installers were wonderful guys as well. The only thing is, and it's probably because it's a curved stairlift, I would have liked the gears or the little silver things that stick up covered for dust purposes. But the one going downstairs is covered.

I have balance issues and my two children, although quite a bit younger than me, also needed a stairlift. I use my downstairs, and it opens up the whole house to me. I use the basement, and my laundry and TV are down there. My stairs are a little steep, and my feet are very big. I got a Stannah stairlift and I have been very pleased. I would recommend Stannah. I called them due to ConsumerAffairs' recommendation and reviews, both good and bad. Stannah was prompt and their representative was great. He explained what their product is and how long they've been in business. He was clear and answered all my questions. He didn't put pressure on me.
Stannah then sent very well-qualified installer. He said he would be there between 8:30 and 10:00. He called at 8:30 and said he would be there at 9:00. He was there at 9:00. There was no fooling around. He got to work right away and worked nonstop. He spent a lot of time to make sure I understood everything that I needed to. Being 82, I needed time. I told him, “I want to know if you're going to finish soon because I want my brother to come down and listen.” He said, “Have him come down now.” He finished up then he spent a lot of time explaining the system to us. He was very informative and pleasant about it. He explained what would be involved in terms of money and what to do should I need follow up. He left a card to put on my refrigerator. Everything is working very well. The stairlift is quiet. It works at ease for me. It seems to be designed for absolute simplicity. It's very sturdy as well.

My uncle lost his ability to go up the stairs some years ago, and he uses Stannah. They recommended Stannah to us and I got a stairlift for my mom as she's having trouble getting up the stairs now. The sales rep was a very nice guy and everything went according to plan. Everything he said happened and there were no surprises. Everything was a smooth process.
The guy that came to install was very neat and didn't leave any mess. He said he was going to take four to six hours but it took him just over three. He got it really close to the one wall where it's not in the way of the staircase. I am able to go down the stairs easily. I don't have to contort my body around the chair when it's parked. He also gave a demonstration when he was done, and it was good and thorough. He made sure Mom was able to do a full run on the stairlift before he left. Mom had a fall some years back and was afraid to go up the stairs after the fall. She hadn't been up to the second floor of the house in a year and a half prior to us getting the chairlift installed last week.

My wife fell and broke her hip and femur. We have two sets of seven stairs to get into the house from the garage, and she was worried that she couldn't get up and down the stairs. We had to put in a stairlift, and glad we put it in. I went online and googled “stairlifts,” and Stannah was one of the first ones that came up. Five minutes went by, a guy called, and he was actually in Florida. He said he was from Stannah and that there was no pressure whatsoever. He said, “But we can have somebody come out there and give you a quote, and there's no charge. And if you don't want it, don't take it.” He told me not to be afraid to call other people. But he said Stannah is worldwide, and he had a good spiel, so I told him, “Yes, send her out. That could hurt nothing.”
A nice lady came out and told me how much it was gonna cost and how long it would take. I got seven steps up to a landing to go out the front door and then seven stairs up. It's a split-level, so we had two different chairs installed. It was just under $12,000 for the two stairlifts. She said, “Anytime you want to cancel, if you find somebody you want that's cheaper, or you think is better, call them, we'll cancel it.” It did take a couple of weeks. They were pretty busy. The guy who installed the stairlift could have been nicer if he had tried. We bought him lunch in the local corner sandwich shop, and he was very, very nice. He had everything he needed, and he was all matter-of-fact, and he just did his job. He was very professional. When he was done, he explained everything to us before we got on it.
We had to call back Stannah because my wife had a drop foot, so the nerve hasn't grown back to make her foot go up. When she was spinning in a chair to get on and off, her foot was kind of dragging. We called them on a Friday to come and raise the seat up higher, so her foot wouldn’t drag, and they were there on Tuesday. A gentleman was here. He was another great guy. He said the company was great. He was here for about an hour, and he raised both seats. So my wife is very happy.
Everybody that I talked to said what a great company Stannah is to work for. There's no turnover. The installer said he's been with them for 12 years. He said, “The first week I was here, I got insurance the first day. I started off with two weeks’ vacation, which I could have took the first two weeks off.” Stannah was absolutely fantastic all the way around. I'd have them back here in a heartbeat. It was a great company to work with. They weren't hiding anything. They gave you a price up front. I'd recommend them to anybody, my family, my friends, or whoever needed a stairlift.

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.

A gentleman came out. His name was John, and he was a very nice guy. I purchased the stairlift that day that he was here. He quoted us around $9,000 and if I did it that day, it was additional 500 off. I got a refurbished set and my big thing was if there was a warranty on it. He said there was a five-year warranty. I paid the down payment then they came and installed it. I wrote the rest of the check and I saved over 10,000 from not going with the first person. It was two young guys who did the installation and they did a beautiful job with the electrical cord.
We've been super happy with our Stannah stairlift. It's a blessing for us. It's very simple and we know what to do. I use the seat belt every time. It's made my life so much easier.

I chose Stannah because it was a family-owned company. I chose them because of the years they had been in business. Also, I was quite impressed that they started off with hoist. If they knew about hoist, they certainly know about lifting a 200-plus pound woman up the stairs. So, those were my reasons for choosing them. The sales visit was seamless. Jonathan was my sales rep. I complimented him personally because he was not a high-pressure salesperson. He was very lowkey. I had done due diligence before he came to the house. The only thing that was going to make or break the sale for me was going to be the terms of the warranty, and I wanted specifically to know about the refurb and also about the new. The price differential was negligible.
The reason why I went with the new was, again, because of the warranty. It was stronger warranty than the refurbished warranty. I thought Jonathan was very professional and very easygoing. Stannah kind of sells itself. So, all he had to do was formally do the paperwork and not be rude. All he had to do was walk in with the paperwork because he was representing a wonderful company.
The installer, Carl, was fabulous. The gals called and gave me the heads-up the night before. Jonathan had already told me what the window of time would be that I needed to be available. The girls contacted me and I wasn't available. They left me a voicemail message, and I called back to let them know that I got it, just so they could let the installer know that I was on board. Carl called from the road. He was in traffic,and said he would be about 10 minutes away. He was as sweet as pie and explained the mechanics of the chair for me and left no mess behind. It was as if he wasn't here.
I've been using the stairlift ever since he installed it. I have had no trouble with it. My only complaint, and I told this to Carl, was I wish there was a way to torque it up and make it go faster. He said he's heard it before as well. I have some serious arthritis. This thing doesn't jolt. It's very smooth. It's seamless but it could go faster. Days pass before you get downstairs.

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.

Stannah Stairlifts came very highly recommended from several friends. The stairlift was installed very quickly. The installers went over it with my mom and she was up and running and already using it. It's straightforward to use. My mom likes it a lot. Ours is one of these stairs that go up 10 steps. There's not quite a landing, but very narrow on the left side as the stairlift turns. On one side it would be a very wide stair and it comes into very narrow by the area. It would make a left turn and go up another five steps. The stairlift would hug the right side all the way and would go up further.
My mom can get on it from inside the living room, which is a bit around the corner. She doesn't have to get on any place where she's got to step up first to do it. She can sit right down on it and go. It would take her around and all the way up. Getting off at the very top of the staircase, it again wraps to the right. My mom could fall immediately down to the left by stepping off by accident. It leaves her right there on hardwood floors to be able to walk right to the bathroom or bedroom. She's still ambulatory to go up and down. She uses the stairlift coming down in the morning, going back up, coming down again, and coming back up at night four times, two one-way trips, up and down, during the course of the day. It provides her with the flexibility and the freedom of movement up and down.

I was impressed by the Stannah Stairlift Sales Advisor. Michelle ** was Excellent. Her attention to detail was what stood out for me. Michelle was extremely diligent in taking my Family through the install process. Additionally spent several hours on her first visit to our house. Took the time to explain the install process so my Mom was comfortable. Was also meticulous in her measurements of our curved staircase. Because of Michelle’s diligence & attention to detail, the install went very well. We are pleased with our new stair chair. I highly recommend Michelle **. She was absolutely great to work with.

I came upon Stannah through the internet and as far as getting the lift is concerned, it is for safety purposes. As I was going downstairs, I could feel my left knee giving out. For safety purposes alone, I didn't want to end up at the bottom of the stairs in a heap. So, I got a stairlift. I did my research on it and they appeared to be a quality product.
I had two cats. I now have one cat. One cat passed away last Friday, but I had to get material up and down the stairs in the form of kitty litter that comes in 20 and 40-pound boxes. I was also getting laundry up and down stairs. Before, if I had laundry, it was in the basket, and I had to literally back down the stairs. That isn't the safest way to do it, but that was the way I did it. The laundry is downstairs, too. So in the course of the day, I might have been climbing the stairs about five to six times. So, the lift has really helped me.

I checked a few of companies out, and I liked Stannah better. The sales rep was great, and the installer was great as well. I went with a straight stairlift. The curve was too expensive to do a custom stairlift, so I did the straight up to the landing, because after that, there's only a couple of stairs. The stairlift is good and I'm happy with everything. I purchased a previously owned one and I'm glad I did because I wouldn't even be able to know it was refurbished.

I love my Stannah stairlift. I have back problems, so I got it three weeks ago. The guy who fixed it showed me how it goes up the steps and he was great. Joe was his name. I got the model that's straight, and then at the top, it is curved. It's excellent and I would recommend it to others.

I'm 75 and I have heart disease. I also have osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. I purchased a Stannah stairlift and their customer service rep was very good. But I developed a problem with the housing on the unit where my heel would loosen. It would dislodge it at the top of the stairs and it's pretty complicated. I can't figure out how to get it back together. It happened after it had been installed and the installer was still there. He put it back together, but he didn't show me how to do it and it's not easy. You can't just snap it back on and there's no diagram to show how to do it.
I called the company afterwards because it happened again. I tried to put it together, but I've got arthritis and it's really hard for me to move. And I didn't want to try too hard because I might screw something up. The rep I talked to said to call his Manchester office and see what they could do about it. And I never got a call back. Other than that, my experience with Stannah was very good and the stairlift helps a lot. It's a nice unit and I'm glad I bought it. I'd recommend them, but the service could be a little better. I wish they'd send someone over to fix the housing and show me how to fix it.

I like the product, and I really like the sales rep. He answered all the questions my wife and I had. He really knew the product compared to a couple of the others that I talked to. The stairlift works fine but the thickness of the rail the chair rides on almost turned me off. Some of the other models were thinner. I use it daily and there's a handrail on both sides, and I didn't want to take out the looks of the handrail. It fits with both handrails, but they had to come out a little bit wider because of that. But overall, I was happy with Stannah and everything that they did, from the salesman to the installer, and how long it took. It took less than a day to have it installed. My MS affects my right leg, so before, I would do stairs in the morning and at night. But now, I can go up and down whenever. So the stairlift changed the quality of my life.

The stairs have gotten to be a bit much for my wife and I. We interviewed several companies, and Stannah Stairlifts was persistent in making sure that I didn't forget about them. When I first considered using stairlifts, I didn't want to become dependent upon them. I was a bit afraid that if we put them in sooner than what we really needed that that would become, more or less, a habit rather than a necessity. I put off installing them, and the Stannah stayed in touch with me to a point where I didn't forget about it, but I wasn't being harassed. So, that was comfortable dealing with them in a situation like that. Generally, when you put off a supplier or someone who does the installation work like that, if they're not used right away, they tend to go away. But they stayed close. It made it an easy time when I decided that we needed to put it in. By then, it was on us because we couldn't get it in as quick as what we wanted.
I had several representatives get back to me. One was for the sales, and the other was for the installation, and they both were pleasant to work with and very informative and helpful. The installation team was great. Other than our delay, it's been a great process. We've got two stairlifts. We've got one from the first floor to the second floor, and then one from the first floor down to the cellar, where our laundry unit is. They're both straight. The staircases themselves aren't what you call overly large, but the lift units fit in there well. When they're not being used, where they get docked is convenient.

I have some mobility issues. I was having trouble getting up and down the outside stairs. We have a stairlift currently inside, down in the basement. So we put one up outside, too. I found Stannah on the Internet when I was looking for outside stairlifts. I like that they're local. The sales guy who came out was very nice and helpful.
The installers were very courteous and nice. We have two dogs here in the house that are pains in the butts, like to be nosing around while you're working. They tolerated the dogs and didn't disrupt our activity here at the house while they were doing the installation. They did the install with minimal disruption. It was just a good experience all around dealing with the installers. It was well-orchestrated on their behalf. They did a good job putting this all together and getting it done.
The stairlift is a good fit there. We originally wanted it on the other side of the stairs. But due to the fact that they had to run a power cable and our stairs didn't have a lift, we weren't able to do that. But it's fine where it is. It seems to be of good quality, too. My understanding is that they manufacture their own stuff, and it looks like it's well-built and it'll last a long time. I would recommend Stannah.

I was doing research for my mother-in-law who lives with us and she's got a set of stairs to get to her room. After reading a bunch of reviews and understanding the different features, I really liked some of the features of Stannah such as the way that the entire rail system is encased. I've seen other stairlifts that are open, which require more frequent cleaning and maintenance. Also, speaking with the field representative that came out was great. He answered a ton of questions. He seemed very sincere. And then, ultimately, the price for what we were getting was great.
So far, the stairlift has been great. It works well. The installation took about four hours, and my mother-in-law has been using it. It's giving her mobility and freedom to get up and down. The biggest challenge for her has been getting groceries up and down the stairs. She can use the stairs and it's been fine. But any time she has to carry anything, she's unable to. So, this stairlift gives her independence. She doesn't have to wait for me, my kids or anyone else to help her bring things up and down. She can now come and go as she pleases.

I’m disabled and I was interested on stairlifts, and I found Stannah through recommendations online. The reps came out to my house and gave me an estimate, and they seemed very knowledgeable. They were also connected with a state-funded grant program that reimbursed me 50% of the cost of the stairlift, which helped a lot. The installers arrived around nine in the morning and were finished by about noon. The chair folds up, so the stairs can still be used by someone who doesn’t need the lift. It doesn’t take up all the space, and the staircase is still functional both ways.
The performance has been excellent. I was always worried about falling down the stairs, especially because the stairs from my basement to the first floor are very steep. Now I don’t have to worry about slipping or falling. I feel safe living in my home with the stair lift. It’s made my life 100% better. I would recommend people to get one and not wait. I couldn't get it right away because I didn't have the funds. But I was so impressed with the professionalism of when the rep came out and talking to the sales department that I made an extra effort to gather the funds to purchase it.

I love the Stannah stairlift and I am happy having it in my house. I bought it because I need it. I’m handicapped and have difficulty walking. I have pets and going up and down three times an evening to feed them and take care of them was getting prohibitive. I’m going to be 80, and I decided to treat myself to a stairlift. I chose Stannah because they had excellent reviews. I made the purchase after Joe, the rep, came. He explained how the stairlift worked. There was no hard sell and he just showed me what they had. You don’t have to push something like that. If you want it, you can see the value. It's a whole unit that you're buying. Joe said they do everything. They manufacture, install, and do any kind of renovation or repair that you might need. You're not going out to a second party for, say, installation and a third party for a repair.
I needed service once because one remote wasn’t working properly and within a couple of hours, someone was here. I had a new remote and the rep reprogrammed everything to make sure it all worked very well. Everything Joe told me was the absolute truth. They come quickly, have everything on their truck that they might need and they install what they make, which was impressive. They're probably the only ones who do that.
I have a straight stairlift, the middle level that Joe suggested. I took off all of the extras and didn’t take special covering. It’s perfect for me. But I wanted to take all the safety features that I could. It stops automatically if something is nearby. It’s not too fast and not too slow. I love that it goes up and down by itself and I don’t have to walk the stairs anymore. I was considering an elevator in addition to the stairlift because I have a basement. But I decided that I didn't need that because this stairlift takes me right to the middle of my house. When I get to the top of the stairs, I'm equidistant from both bedrooms on both sides of the house. We have at one side of the house, that was my husband's and mine, and then the other side belonged to our two girls, and there's a bridge that connects them. So when I get to the top, I can look down at my family room on one side and the foyer on the other.
I was surprised at the price. It was reasonable for the convenience, and the quality seems excellent. Nothing is exposed and you don't see the track that the chair runs on. Everything is enclosed, which I like because I have four curious kittens and two young grandsons. There’s nothing for them to get any kind of injury and get stuck in. It's working great and I wish I had done it years ago. Stannah is a complete package and it’s reliable. I would recommend it to anybody. It’s a good product, and the company stands behind it. It’s been all positive from beginning to end.

I love the way it works and that there's a beeping going up and down the stairs. It goes around my staircase because of the kind of stairs I have. I thought Stannah had to take down walls or put a million screws in the walls, but it was nothing like that. It looks streamlined. Also, the installers didn't ruin my floors to do it. They put a couple of steps and screws on the floor and we were good to go. I took a picture and sent it to all my friends because it is a nice chair. It's not in your way, and not in your face.
