During COVID, I contracted an autoimmune disease and I couldn't move. I couldn't get up and down the steps. I have a lot of steps in my house and the longest run of steps is 11 steps. I thought I could fall down all the other smaller staircases and I'd be hurt but fine. With the 11 steps though, I realized the potential danger that posed. In addition to my concern for safety, I had just undergone wrist surgery, which made relying on the railings risky. To address these challenges, I reached out to Stannah and decided to rent a stairlift to help me navigate the steps safely.
The stairlift fits well into my home. By folding up the footrest, arms, and seat, there's still enough room for others to pass by comfortably. Its functionality has been excellent, and I honestly couldn't imagine staying in my home without it.
What truly stands out is Stannah's rental option. It's been a huge relief knowing that I can eventually have it removed if I no longer need it, which is perfect for my situation post-surgery. For anyone facing temporary mobility issues, I found this option quite reasonable and sensible. It's a way to think about it if someone's not going to resign themselves that they're gonna need one forever. If they just need one temporarily like I did for the surgery, it was easy enough to get one in until I get better and can go up and down the steps.
In essence, the stairlift allowed me to remain in my house despite my physical challenges. It has significantly impacted my life by providing the mobility and safety I needed while recovering.
Hello Marcy,
Thank you for sharing your story with us. We’re glad to hear that our rental option provided the flexibility and support you needed during a challenging time. It’s wonderful to know the stairlift has helped you stay safe and comfortable in your home throughout your recovery. We wish you a speedy and smooth recovery. If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

My 76-year-old mother was impressed by the representative and changed her mind about getting a stairlift. The lifter we opted for is designed for a curved stairway, which perfectly suits our home layout. From the first use, my mother was highly satisfied and even expressed her intention to personally thank the saleswoman. Now, she's outside more often, enjoying walks and the sun with my aunt. The stairlift has genuinely transformed her daily living experience.
As for the stairlift’s operation, it's both easy and quiet, making my mother feel secure and comfortable. It comes with a seat belt, which adds to her confidence while using it. I also appreciated the build quality and overall experience with Stannah; everything about the process was impressive. Although it was a significant financial outlay, I believe it's worthwhile, given that a custom-fit curved stairway lift can't be resold easily.
Interestingly, I've tried the stairlift myself, finding it efficient for carrying groceries. Based on the quality and the impact it has had on my mother’s life, I would wholeheartedly recommend Stannah Stairlifts to anyone in need. The experience and product deserve top marks all around.
Hello Rich,
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s wonderful to know the custom curved stairlift has made such a positive difference for your mother, providing her with comfort and confidence. We’re proud that our product and service have met your expectations and grateful for your recommendation. Thank you for trusting Stannah to support your family’s mobility needs.

When the Stannah Stairlift reps came out for the initial demonstration, I found them to be friendly and efficient, which left a positive impression. The stairlift itself is a straight model equipped with warning signals and an automatic rail, and it also has a seat belt for added safety. It significantly aids anyone with mobility issues.
On the day of installation, the technician was professional and efficient, explaining everything clearly, which resulted in a smooth experience without any issues. The installation was clean, and they made sure we understood how to use the lift properly.
As for their website, it was user-friendly with easily accessible information, including an online manual that could help troubleshoot any minor issues without needing a technician. Overall, my experience with Stannah was positive.
Hello Susan,

Stannah's sales representative, Gene, was wonderful and thorough. The installation process was smooth, and the technician who completed it was excellent. I've had the stairlift since July 6th and everything has been running smoothly. However, there is a minor issue with the left arm, which doesn't stay up when pushed. Stannah has been proactive and is sending someone next week to address this small adjustment. Despite this minor hiccup, the stairlift has been a game changer for me—I no longer have to climb stairs, which has made my daily life significantly easier. I'm genuinely happy with the product and would recommend Stannah Stairlifts to anyone in need.

My husband and I decided on a Stannah Stairlift because climbing stairs was becoming challenging, especially as seniors. My husband had health issues, making it even harder. When Tony from Stannah came to give us a presentation, his friendly personality made the process enjoyable. He explained everything clearly.
The installation was efficient and timely, occurring just about a week after Tony's visit, meeting our needs perfectly. We opted for a straight stairlift, which turned out to be just what we needed. Its sturdiness and quality impressed us, and the installation process went smoothly. The installer was punctual and thorough. He gave us helpful tips on using the stairlift safely.
I'd recommend Stannah. Their product and service were excellent, leaving us satisfied. It's rare these days to find a service that delivers exactly as promised.

My father-in-law was having trouble going up the stairs and his sister recommended we buy a Stannah stairlift for him. The service was good and so far, we've seen several notable benefits as it allows him to move upstairs with ease. But right now, we are having an issue with the unit and I have to put a service call in. The remotes are not working the way they were supposed to.
Other than that, we bought a used Stannah and I understand that it comes with a warranty, but in hindsight, understanding the nuances between purchasing a new versus a used unit would have been beneficial. There were no transparency issues, but familiarizing ourselves with potential drawbacks, like wear and tear or suitability for heavier users, could have guided us towards possibly choosing a newer model. Though the salesperson was informative, a deeper dive into the implications of a used unit in terms of longevity would have been preferred.
Hello Mr. Traynor,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re so glad to hear that your father-in-law’s Stannah Stairlift is helping him move more freely!
We apologize that the remotes are not functioning properly. We've shared this with our Customer Service Team, and someone will be reaching out to you today.

I replaced my previous chair lift with a Stannah, having been influenced by someone I knew who had a similar one. Managing a two-story house with physical limitations necessitated this choice, as it provides a great deal of convenience.
The installation of the stairlift works well with the stairwell. While descending, the ability to fold up the arms and seat at the bottom is quite handy. At the top, it requires a bit of maneuvering to ensure that it’s all flush against the wall, but ultimately, it's still very efficient.
In terms of sturdiness, I find the Stannah stairlift to be reliable and well-functioning. It makes navigating stairs much easier, especially since I face mobility challenges due to arthritis.
Interacting with the company was pleasant; their professionalism and communication were commendable. They ensured everything was straightforward and stress-free for me. Hence, I’d confidently rate my experience positively.

My husband needed assistance with mobility and I called Stannah Stairlifts. The process began smoothly as I found their contact information online and reached out to them directly. The initial setup call was with a very helpful lady, and Joe, the salesperson who came out and provided the presentation, was also excellent. Stannah's installer was very thorough too. After the stairlift was installed, he went through and showed me everything and answered all my questions.
While the experience overall was good, I did encounter a small issue as I wasn't informed that a payment was needed on the installation day, which caught me off guard. However, the price was reasonable, and Stannah's customer service was exceptional. The stairlift itself operates quietly and goes straight up and down. It was hard to get my husband up and down, and the stairlift was more for us to keep him safe. My husband appreciates it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your heartfelt review with us. We're pleased to know your experience with our team, from initial inquiry to installation, was positive. It’s wonderful that the stairlift is running smoothly and contributing to your husband’s safety and your peace of mind.

I picked Stannah Stairlifts for my husband's needs. Although he's hesitant to use it due to pride, I tried it during installation. It's very smooth, impressively quiet, and fulfills its purpose excellently.
A friend who visited and has knee issues also complimented it. Knowing he won't risk falling on the stairs gives me peace of mind, especially since his mobility is limited by conditions like kyphosis and hip flexor issues. Convincing him to use it is my current challenge.
Regarding Stannah's customer service, it was straightforward to contact them. They delivered timely responses when I sought information. The custom model we needed, due to our curved stairwell, was produced and installed in about six weeks, which was impressive.
Overall, while my husband hasn't fully embraced it yet, both my friend and I have had positive experiences with the stairlift.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with Stannah Stairlifts.

Our sales experience with Stannah was stellar—they scheduled a visit to measure and explain the process in detail. Their communication was impeccable as they contacted me beforehand, ensuring the process was smooth.
During installation, they showed us how the lift worked, answered all our questions, and made it a hassle-free experience. The stairlift design is very practical as it doesn't obstruct the stairway; people can easily walk alongside it. It even swivels into the door for safer access, which is ideal for her.
The lift has two remotes, one each for the top and bottom, along with controls on the chair itself, making it user-friendly. My only minor gripe is that it operates slower than she would prefer. Despite this, she finds it easy to use.
She loves that it alleviates her pain when climbing the stairs and aids in carrying items up or down. Her quality of life has improved thanks to the stairlift, and we couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with Stannah Stairlifts.
Thank you for bringing your delightful experience to our attention! We are thrilled to hear that our teams were able to make the process detailed and worry-free.

We selected Stannah Stairlifts for my mother's move-in situation at my sister's house. My sister, who's a doctor, heard about Stannah from her patients, which led us to consider and eventually choose them. The installation process was genuinely first-rate. Max came over and was nothing short of fabulous. He thoughtfully laid down blankets to protect the floor, ensured everything was securely installed, and most importantly, took the time to patiently explain to my mom how to use the stairlift. He even went through the paperwork thoroughly, which left us nothing but happier with the service.
The entire installation, expected to take 5 hours, was efficiently completed in just 4. It started just after 10 AM and was done by 2 PM. My mom has even found a favorite feature already—she appreciates the footrest, especially as she's often concerned about her larger feet. It gives her comfort, which is reassuring for us all.
Overall, my experience with Stannah Stairlifts has been overwhelmingly positive, and I'd gladly rate them a solid 5.

I have multiple sclerosis, so I needed the stair lift. I did some research as to Stannah Stairlifts and Acorn and thought Stannah had better reviews and history.

My husband needed a chairlift because he couldn't get upstairs, which is where the bedroom and my one and only bathroom is. So it was very important that he be able to get up the stairs. So, I did a search. The website said something about the top five companies. Stannah Stairlifts was either number one or two. I reached out to three different places, including Stannah, and they responded promptly, with a representative coming the very next day to provide a quote. The salesperson was extremely informative and kind, and the installation process was seamless with a highly professional technician.
Our home is quite old, with narrow and steep staircases, presenting a challenge for installation. However, the Stannah stairlift has fit well, albeit snugly, allowing just enough room to navigate alongside. In terms of its functionality, I am very pleased. Whenever I'm carrying something or feel uneasy on the stairs, I can rely on the chair to safely get me up or down. I'm very happy with the way it functions. The only minor is to have the bottom piece come up, I have to send it all the way down to the bottom and then halfway up again. It's a minor hassle, but something I think could be improved in future models.

The initial presentation was conducted efficiently, unfolding at our dining table, and the representative addressed all our queries clearly in under an hour.
During installation day, everything proceeded like clockwork. The installers commenced in the morning, and by the afternoon, the stairlift was functioning perfectly. Opting for a more intricate, winding model to accommodate the layout of our home, we found its double rail feature especially reassuring. This choice surpassed others we considered, all notable for having only single rails.
The entire installation process reflected top-notch quality, commendably including the efforts of Shawn, the installer, known for exceptional work. Post-installation, the stairlift functions exceptionally well: it’s quiet, smooth, halts perfectly, and even alerts when not docked correctly.

I am and will be continue to be absolutely livid with this company. I put in new floors and needed to move my lift to put new flooring on the steps. I called when the flooring was done to see if I could schedule an appointment to have the lift reinstalled. First, I was admonished for doing my stairs and not have a licensed technician from their company remove the lift. Then I was told in order for them to service the lift, it would cost 300 dollars for an inspection.
I waited three weeks for a technician to come out and say, "It's all put together and in one piece. You are not missing any parts." But here is the kicker, now they want $600 in addition to the $310 I already paid to put the lift back together!! It's been over three years so there is no buy back policy so there 300 dollars down the drain. Since I was unaware of this policy to not remove the lift without calling them, I went to look at my paperwork and there was nothing there as well that said I needed to do that. I would not recommend anyone to them ever!
We’re sorry to hear you're still feeling this way and appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns again.
When you reached out about reinstalling your stairlift after your new floors were installed, our team outlined the required inspection process and associated costs. At the time, you acknowledged the pricing and did not express any concerns during the call.
We understand this requirement may not have been clear at the time, but for safety and warranty reasons, Stannah stairlifts should never be removed or reinstalled without a trained Stannah technician. This guideline is stated in the contract paperwork provided at installation. Removing the unit in one piece, with the chair and carriage still attached to the rail, poses safety risks for our technicians and requires additional time to reinstall properly. That is why the technician estimated three hours of labor at our standard hourly rate.
We also recognize that the wait for your inspection may have been frustrating and we appreciate your patience as our team managed reduced staffing during that time.
We genuinely value all customer feedback and are always working to improve both service and communication. If you would like to speak further, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help.

It’s helping my dad a lot going up the steps.
It's very easy to navigate because they found a way to install an extension piece at the bottom. As the chair comes down, it extends out, so it goes all the way down to the floor. When going up, it comes full back up. That helps a lot. I would recommend Stannah. The only thing that I need from them is a receipt of the complete charge, because the amount of $6,095 was charged twice. But if you could email me one receipt for the total cost, that will help a lot.

I chose Stannah compared to the other one I looked at because the first company that came out was a little expensive, and I really didn’t like their sales pitch. It was a little bit too hardsell. And then when I reached out to ask some questions, they weren’t responsive. But when Stannah came out, their quote was just a bit less. And Jim, the sales rep, was informative and concerned with making sure that he met my requirements for both myself and my husband. And so, I went with them.
And they have also been responsive. Any time there was a complaint or concern or delay, even before the installation, the sales representative stayed involved, which is unusual. Usually, the sales guys sell you and then tell you all these good things and promise you all this stuff, and then they disappear. But Jim didn’t do that.
During the installation day, just one person came out. He was not as great as the sales guy, but he was okay. He got the job done, but there are still some little tweaks and stuff. As a matter of fact, we just noticed yesterday that I’m gonna call. So, they had to come back a second time because I had some concerns as far as safety, because where the chair landed, it wasn’t really all the way on the landing. And they said that they normally don’t take it to the end of the railing because it ends up being higher. But that was something that the installer should have said.
This stairlift is for my husband. I’m fairly tall. My husband’s fairly tall. So, it wasn’t as such that we would be able to touch the floor, but it was just at the edge. And I didn’t know who to contact, so I just contacted Jim because I had his cell number. So, he came out. He looked at it. He took pictures. He got the installation crew back out again. And this time, he came out with two. And the young man who came out with the first gentleman who did the installation was a little bit better. So, I wasn’t as satisfied with the first guy.
And I did feel that he should have had a little bit more regard as far as protecting the floors and the noise situation. He just came in and started doing it, and didn’t alert me, because my husband has dementia. So, you would have thought that he would have said that there’s gonna be a lot of drilling and it’s gonna be noisy. So, I had no idea. Nobody walked me through what would happen. It just happened.
But overall, they corrected the problem. And now, there are just some little tweaks that I’m gonna send them an email to do. And any time when I had a problem, and I called the main office, or I called Jim, there was an immediate response.
The stairlift is exactly what I needed for my husband, because even though he’s not infirm and he’s still mobile, I just had some concerns for his safety with his care coaches getting him up and down the stairs because of the balance issue. So, I think that it has tremendously improved his life.
The main team has been able to manage getting him up and down the stairs. But with the relief team, the biggest impact is that now, Steven, who likes to go out for his walks, there is no change in his care on a daily basis, regardless of who’s on schedule, because now, he can take the chair lift down, which is really a good safety measure, and then take the chairlift up. So, that has been a tremendous improvement, where his routine is not disruptive because of the fact that I have someone who can’t get him down the stairs.
Thank you so much, Margaret, for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly grateful that you chose Stannah over other options—and even more so that you did so with confidence and no regrets.
We’re glad to hear that the post-installation adjustments were handled promptly and to your satisfaction. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the unexpected noise and the lack of communication regarding the stairlift's alignment at the top of the stairs.
Your feedback has been shared with our service team, as we’re always striving to improve.

Still, we completely understand your concern and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Thanks again for trusting us with your mobility needs.

I heard about Stannah Stairlifts through my relatives because they got a stairlift in their home. We did an in-law suite and had my parents move in with us. They're in their 80s and it was easier for us to have that installed so that they can have access throughout the house. The rep from the sales team was awesome. He was very thorough and went through everything. The only comment that I have is that we had two stairlifts installed, and one had a crack in the trim. It was where the chair resides and the bottom was covering it, so we didn't see it. It was installed that way and my husband was there when it was installed.
I had reached out to the rep and in turn, he reached out to the installation person. They were supposed to come back and correct it but I haven't heard anyone at all. I texted to the rep that I haven't heard from the installer at all. I want the crack to be rectified. These are brand new units that we spent thousands of dollars on, so it needs to be corrected.
I'm happy with the installation that’s been done, though. My mother's a cardiac patient, while my father's a brain cancer patient. In order for them to be able to get through the house, the stairlifts have helped. It's awesome that they can get on them. It's a game for us every night. We asked, “Who's ready for the ride?” I always say click it or ticket,” and make sure they put their seatbelt on. My mother then says, “All right. It's your turn.” It alleviates having to go up and down steps to get to different areas of the house.

We added a couple of other things, including the swivel seat option, and it’s wonderful. When you get off the machine when it stops, the seat automatically points toward the threshold. The armrests go up and down, it’s reclinable, and the footrest is electric. There’s a button for it.
I would definitely recommend. Though it’s only been two weeks, it’s incredible.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We are delighted to know that our representative provided you with a thorough and informative presentation, making it easier for you to choose the best features for your home. It's also great to hear about the smooth installation process and how our technician ensured you were comfortable with the usage.
We're thrilled that the stairlift has integrated well into your routine and that features like the swivel seat and adjustable armrests enhanced your sense of security.

My father-in-law has mobility issues and needed a stairlift. We called Stannah to set up a house call, someone came to the house and discussed the options with us and then booked the installation for the following week.

My mom needed it, it was a time-sensitive thing, and Stannah had the quickest turnaround time. The salesman called us 30 minutes ahead of time, so we could get over to my parents' house. We knew what we needed, he listened to us and explained everything, so it was a good and quick appointment. There were two installers and they came earlier than we expected, so that was a nice surprise. They were so nice, neat, and they explained everything thoroughly and showed us how to work it. The stairlift is terrific. It rides very smoothly, and it serves its purpose, so we're happy with it.

The salesman was very nice and very helpful. He had all the information I needed. Every question I asked, he had an answer for, and even went out of his way to try to facilitate earlier delivery, which he was able to get for me. First, the date he gave me was much later than I was hoping because my mom was due to come back from the hospital. Then he called the installation people and had them mark me down in case they had a cancellation. Sure enough, they did, and he called me back the next day with a much earlier date. So, that was great.
The installation was also very good. The two gentlemen who came by were extremely friendly and also helpful, and they worked diligently. It didn't take as long as I expected it would.

I’m in my 70s, as is my spouse. I have a knee problem and she’s had back surgery and sometimes has some trouble walking. I decided that I wanted to get ahead of the game and not have to do it when we were in dire need.
I went online and looked around. CNET does online reviews of products and Stannah was one of them. It seemed like Stannah was certainly good quality but not as expensive as some. They also have good service record and reviews.
The representative from Stannah was very thorough in his estimation. He used to be a tech so he knows the equipment very well. He was pretty honest with me and didn’t say that it’s the best thing since sliced bread. He talked about a couple of the differences between the Stannah product and others. So, I felt that he did a good job. Also, he’d been there for many years, which to me, is a good sign if people stay with the company. And it’s a family business. It’s based in New Jersey, which isn’t the criterion per se. But to me, it speaks of the stability of the company.
We got the straight up and down stair lift. The installer was very competent, polite and efficient. He went about bringing the stuff in and setting it up. Then, he gave us a good explanation and illustration of how to operate it and answered a number of our questions. At no point did he seem uninformed or hesitant about being able to give us the information we needed.

The people across the street from my parents’ house had a Stannah stairlift. When I mentioned I would need one for my dad after his stroke, they invited me in to see theirs. They were very happy with it. The installation was perfect, and the company was very kind and professional. I decided to go with them based solely on that recommendation.
The stairlift is fantastic. It’s a custom design, exactly what we planned. The two installers were complete gentlemen. They brought in a ton of equipment, and when they left, there wasn’t a piece of lint on the floor. It was like they were never there, only the stairlift was.
From my first phone call to Stannah, speaking with the rep and then being assigned the salesperson, everyone was very forthcoming. They were kind, professional, and very understanding. It was a tricky setup, but they made it work perfectly.
They spent a lot of time with me afterward, showing me how to maintain it, when to add lubrication, what to watch for, and any issues that might come up. They told me I could call anytime. The salesperson even gave me a cellphone number.
My dad was still in the hospital then and didn’t come home for about three weeks after the installation. So, they said to call if anything came up and they’d come back. They trained me on it, but I don’t live with my dad.
Fortunately, I didn’t need to contact them because it worked exactly the way they explained, and the transition was easy. I designed the stairlift with them and paid them, so they know me. My name is on everything.

After reviewing our records, your labor warranty expired over a year ago, and your parts warranty had expired prior to your call. Our service team always aims to communicate clearly with out-of-warranty customers about applicable charges, including that parts are billed separately. The service fee you were quoted reflects our standard rate for Suffolk County, which is higher due to regional operating costs. We understand that this can be an unwelcome surprise, and we’re sorry for any confusion.

We needed a stair lift to get my mom up and down the stairs. She's 91. She had a fall. And she wasn't able to move around from upstairs to downstairs in her own home. So, we went with the stair lift as opposed to putting in a second bathroom. We went with Stannah because the woman who came over was very good.
Stairlifts in general, cost about $3,500 for a straight one. Once that bends just a very little bit, which it did for my mother, it's over $14,000. I think that's something that needs to be looked at.
My siblings and I were taking turns staying overnight at her house before. For the first three months, she really couldn't get up and down the stairs. Then with our aid standing behind her with a belt on her, she was able to get up and down the stairs. But now she stays by herself. And the stairlift swings around, so she gets in on it after waking up and takes it downstairs. And she goes back upstairs during the day to use the bathroom.

Stannah was probably the right balance between their reputation for product and its looks. In my experience, everything was fine and great.
The initial sales visit was perfect. I was interested in the product and ready to place an order. And then there was a radio silence. I couldn't hear back or get ahold of the salesman who had left his card and contact information.
After several weeks, I called their main number and asked what was going on. They got back to me and said that the salesman has left the company.
I would have thought that when a salesman leaves a company, people would follow up on his contacts and leads, and there’d be some communication back. Now, I could see a lot of other people would have given up. And that was a little odd.
The second salesman took over. He came in and jumped in, and he was fantastic. He did a great job and was actually very attentive and helpful. There were some good parts. But there were bad parts, too.
During installation, they didn't do it in the proper order. The guy didn't realize it until he had to leave. He said he couldn't do it, he’d have to get back, and we'd hear back in a day or two.
The service department needs a little prod that they need to be better. A week went by, and I heard nothing back. So, I reached out to him. And he had to jump in and take care of things.
Hello Jim,
We appreciate your feedback—it helps us grow and improve the customer experience. We apologize for the miscommunication with your first sales advisor, pleased that the second advisor met all standards.

My parents had a standard stairlift in Europe, which is how I became acquainted with Stannah. I haven’t had my stairlift installed yet because we’re still renovating, but the customer service has been excellent. Michelle came out, took the measurements, and gave me a price. She was diligent and told me that they were going to come back when the renovation was finished.
I wasn’t aware that they had a showroom, but my neighbor told me about it and gave me the phone number. I visited the showroom on my own initiative and found it helpful because I was able to ride one and see the two different seats. The staff there was helpful.
It’s going to cost me almost $14,000 to put in one downstairs where it turns the corner twice. I was going to get one for upstairs, but when I asked about a discount, they said no. They do offer a payment plan, but it’s so expensive now to get that chair, and I think the cost may lead people to find other alternatives. I got my deposit in before a price increase, but the high cost is going to be a deterrent going forward. I would recommend Stannah, but I would also caution people about the expense of the product.
Stannah is a reliable company and has been around for a long time. My parents used them in Europe, and it changed their lives. They were able to stay in their homes longer. They had good service there, and I'm looking forward to having the same service here.

Stannah Stairlifts' salesperson listened and was efficient. It was a good experience. The stairlift works well. We have the bottom extension opens up automatically. When it's down, and the chair is at the bottom of the steps, it sits there and keeps beeping. I understand the reason is it's not charging. It’s a pain in the butt. There's a switch on the back of the chair but the choice is either use the switch, and it breaks and wears out, or you put the chair up where it can charge and you use the mechanism, which also will wear. So, I'm put in a position of having to dispose of the chair at the bottom of the steps.
The other day the extension was partially up. The chair was in the wrong place on the rail. I exercise it until it worked properly. I realized that when the extension is down, there's no electrical connection to it. It relies on the battery. Stannah should look at how to best treat that or tell their customers that they have a battery. They should have a meter on there that tells something about the battery state and ensure that it can stay down for eight hours, or go to sleep and know what it needs to do. A meter that would tell the owner, “You have to get this thing parked.” Otherwise, you have a service call. Other than that, we’re satisfied with how it works.
We have two installations. We have one from the second floor to the first floor and one from the first floor to the basement. The traffic is primarily for the disabled person, my wife. She travels from the living quarters upstairs to the first floor. When she gets down, she has no interest in wanting to try to park the chair part way up the steps. When she does that, the chair is fully deployed. She would have the foot rest down and the arms will be down. That means no one can get past it. The stairs are not especially narrow. They're standard for our class of home. So, there's a little danger in having to fold the chair up if it was parked in the right position.
We have a bunch of automatic features. There’s additional cost if it's controlled by a controller. So, when the seat is at the bottom of the steps, if you had a single button that was a speed dial that says “Park and fold”, you're done with it and it's safe. I find myself taking chances when it's at the top of the steps, because when she gets out of the chair, and let's say that my wife is going into the bedroom and I'm downstairs, the chair is rotated at the top, completely blocking my passage past it to get on to the second-floor landing. I need to lean up and straighten the chair out, lean over to press the button so that the foot rest goes up. And I fold the arms up and stand up. The same thing is true when I'm on the second floor and I need to fold it up.
I called a month ago because I had questions about oil that dripped on the steps. I was explained that it was lubrication from the track that was on the steps. It's urethane on the steps so I was able to wipe the oil off. But that's something that shouldn't happen. I don't know whether the technician used more than necessary, or if it was the lubrication formulation itself. If we had a rug on there, it would not come out. That would be the end of it. The other was that some of the labels were peeling. Like the technician had greasy fingers when he applied the labels. I was told, “You can call us and we can come out and replace them.” It's not necessary to do that yet. I cut off the pieces that were peeling off the stairs itself. In the meantime, all is good.

I’m not getting any younger, so I decided to put a stairlift in now to make it easier to get things up to the second floor.
The sales visit from Stannah was excellent. The gentleman who came in described exactly what he was gonna do and how long it would take. He gave me several pieces of literature and highlighted things that I needed to pay attention to. He told me it holds up to 250 pounds. When he was done with all that, we went over how to operate it. He was very willing to share all the information he had and seemed to have a lot of experience with people my age. I’m 72, buying a lift to be ready for what’s coming ahead, and he understood that completely.
For me, it is a straight shot down to the landing, but it does bring the chair toward the middle of the staircase. It’s a fairly good-sized staircase, so that does not make any difference. It doesn’t take away from the appearance of the room.
I’ve been pretty satisfied with it and recommended it to several friends. You can sit on the chair and then put the footrest down. It seems very sturdy. I haven’t had any problems with it carrying up a bag of groceries, like cans and soda bottles on top of an 18-bottle rack of water. It takes it right up there with no problem. After taking the dog out, I send her up the stairs, and then bring myself up. It’s great.
I can use the remote to call it down when, sometimes, it’s left upstairs. It’s been very useful even though I really don’t need the chair right now. I certainly am using it, as I just had a hernia repair and had to limit going up the stairs the first week. As I get older, I know I’ll use it more. I’m probably gonna need a knee replacement, and I couldn’t live up here with that, not without that lift.

I have an elderly tenant living in my condominium, and she had a stairlift in there that was installed by one of her relatives. And I agreed to it because she had difficulty going up and down the stairs. But her original stairlift broke down and they couldn't get it fixed.
I figured that I would do have Stannah installed. If I sell my condominium in the future and if it needs to stay in there because the people want it, then they can have it as part of the sale. Or if they don't want it, we can have it removed before they take it over.
Anyway, it was more for safety of the tenants that I have. I wanted to make sure it worked out so that they are able to navigate the stairs and go up to the bedrooms and down to where the kitchen is. I chose Stannah because I had interviewed a couple of other brands. I think both of them were out of state, so that's the first reason that I wanted to go with Stannah, because it was in the state. Anything that needed repairs, even if it was out of warranty, at least, Stannah is in state and I have access to one of their main offices. If I needed to get something, I'm sure I would get it a lot faster than if it was out of state.
I was also told that Stannah has been in business for quite a number of years. I looked it up online, and indeed, they have. The company originated from England, and so it's been around for a number of years. Their reputation is stalwart. Stannah designs and manufactures their own stairlifts while other are only retailers. Stannah has good warranty. I like their customer service provided, not only when they were installing it, but also from before and after.
Those reasons were largely why I purchased from Stannah. I also felt I was getting as top quality of product as I could get. I felt that if there was something that was wrong with it, they would stand by it. I trusted what I was hearing.

The stairlift is working fine. It's excellent. At first, she didn't even want to try it. It took her a week to get used to it. Now she likes it. It gives her more independence. She's able to go up and down with ease and she's not afraid of it anymore.

I acquired the lift for my uncle. I was researching various lift companies, and I chose Stannah because it had the most flexible offering. I didn’t know if he was going to be able to stay home or not, so I wanted to be able to lease it, not buy it. The lease was what I needed, and it was very accessible.
My uncle has mobility issues in general, but he really liked being able to go upstairs because his bathroom is upstairs. Overall, I think he liked the product. He was able to navigate it on his own, though he had a tough time with the footpad that comes down. He couldn’t always move his legs out, so the pad would get stuck on his ankle and go back up. He also couldn’t lean forward to see that his feet weren’t on it, which made the footpad more of a hindrance than a help. He could have used something that just went down no matter what, so he could place his feet on it easily.
The way the lift turned at the top of the stairs was just at the very top and didn’t go into the landing. It turned him onto the landing, but when he was facing forward, he was still very close to the stairs, which was a little intimidating for him because he wasn’t at a safe point. Otherwise, he did fine navigating it, getting in and out of it. He rode it a few times by himself and was starting to feel confident.
He fell several times within a week, not entirely on the lift but in various places throughout the home. With the fall, he was kind of scared of it. In the three weeks he was home, he only used the lift about 10 times. He was nervous to do it on his own and didn’t wear a seatbelt, even though his physical therapist had told him to.
I think the lift is great. If he had more strength and more hands-on help within the home, it could have been great. It could have given him more independence within his home. It gave him hope that he could stay home, but it also sealed the reality for him that he probably is not going to get to go home.

It took him about four hours, but he did a magnificent job. It’s beautiful. He even did the wiring where we had the covers for it. So, it’s really neat. It’s just perfection.
And the quality of the stairlift is excellent. We’ve only had it for a few months, but we never had a problem with it. My wife uses it all the time, and it’s working great. She loves it. So, we had a great experience with Stannah.

The salesperson from Stannah Stairlifts was very informative. He answered questions that I didn’t even know I had and he seemed trustworthy. The stair lift installed functions well, and I have had no problems at all. I can now go up and down the stairs and onto the basement of my house, which I couldn’t do before.

My husband had a couple of health problems, and we thought it would be best if we got the stairlift. My back is also bad, and it has been getting more difficult going up the steps. My mother and his mother both had stairlifts with Interstate years ago. We said, “Well, we’ll call Interstate,” and turned into this company. My husband’s aunt has Acorn, but we didn’t like that as much as we had like the Interstate.
During the installation, the guy was not here for long, and he worked quickly. He did a good job. However, my husband feels that the straight up and down stairlift doesn’t go fast enough when it’s going up. Coming down, it’s fine.
The company said that, at one time, it might have gone faster. But they lowered it because of some things that might have happened. And then when we get halfway up it, there’s this little bump that happens. And we also had them here about that, and they adjusted it a little. But it’s the way the two pieces come together in that section, that is why that does that. Also, it was more expensive than I thought.

I got a Stannah stairlift to aid my wife in getting up the steps since I had used Stannah before at my church. I didn't need much of a presentation because I already knew what I wanted, and they were able to provide exactly that. The stairlift is installed inside and goes straight up the stairs. I’m very satisfied with the quality. The installer was quick and clean. They didn’t show my wife how to use it, and I pretty much handled that myself. As for the price, I thought it was fair, and it was cheaper than the other prices that I expected to pay.

I'm 80 years old and I have RA. I can totally live downstairs, but I wanna be able to go upstairs and I have a craft room up there. I need a curved stairlift and needed it specially-made one because of the two curves. I had somebody from Bruno and Stannah come out. I was pleased with both of the representatives who came out for a quote and to measure. They were both knowledgeable.
I couldn't go to the Bruno showroom in December. I also couldn't try them because they had changed their location. They didn't even have their location set up and they said probably mid-January. I thought I’ll just gonna go over and see Stannah. They did have another room where they had some other ones, but it was Bruno’s older model. After visiting Stannah, I decided to go with them mostly because if you have a problem, they could hopefully come to you within 24 or 48 hours. Stannah’s showroom and their facility are within a half an hour from me in Franklin, Massachusetts, and they've been there for 30 years.
When the Stannah stairlift was installed, I couldn't stand looking at the chain. It is so ugly. I can have the chain taken out in seven days, but my kids said, "Mom, you're not gonna have it taken ou." I said, "They said they would do it in seven days. They're the only company that does it." I made an appointment at Bruno and went out to see them and tried it, but their chair was not as good. The seatbelt on the Stannah was very easy on my arthritic hands, and Bruno's is more like a seat belt in a car, so it's not as easy. You have to really be careful when releasing it. On some days, if my hands aren't good, it'll be more problematic. So I decided that I would go with the Stannah and keep the chain that I don't like looking at, but I've gotten used to it.
With Stannah, when you look at the pictures, it looks good. But when you actually go in, it is a lot chunkier. It looks like one big bar and is actually a lot bigger. It wasn't as attractive as it looked in the picture, too. But the Stannah chair is very comfortable and the seat belt is extremely user-friendly. The two men who installed were absolutely wonderful and answered all kinds of questions. They took the time. I said, "Could I just go up once more to make sure I've got everything right?" They said, "Sure. We want you to be happy." I was very pleased with the outcome.
Others should try the Stannah stairlift and see if they like it. I have one neighbor who does want to look at it, but when I told her the cost, she went, "Ugh." The Stannah stairlift is a couple of thousand dollars less than Bruno’s, but if the Bruno seat had been the same one, I probably would have paid the $2,000 more because it did look a little bit better. The price is terrible for both of them, but a stairlift is a stairlift. When you get to my age, you really don't want to acknowledge that you need one. But going forward, I'm only gonna get older, so I'm probably gonna need it more. All in all, I would recommend Stannah.

I first heard about Stannah through a friend who had used them. The woman who did the presentation showed me pictures, diagrams, what the stairlift would look like, and how it would be installed. I told her I wanted to think about it. It was a little more than what I had expected it to be. Unfortunately, I ended up in the hospital and in rehab. I had decided to go ahead with the stairlift and the woman came out to measure. When she came out, I wasn't home, so I had a friend over.
The woman then contacted me in the hospital so I could put a deposit down. It's a curved staircase and she told me it would go on one side. But when they got the measurements, they said it couldn't go on that side because of the risk of a head strike. I understood, but was disappointed. Other than that, everything went fine. It had to be custom-made for the stairway and that took close to eight weeks. Installation took a couple of hours. There were two guys here who did it, and it went very smoothly. The stairlift is inside the home and it's excellent. It is expensive, and I know it is because my staircase is so steep. Overall, everything went from the beginning to it being installed.

Stannah was great. I needed a stairlift for my father and picked it based on its ratings after I did a Google search. The install took a few hours. The stairlift is straight up and down. It’s relatively simple for him to use. He forgets sometimes, and we just have to remind him. He hates it, but he's a very stubborn man. He doesn't like to admit that he needs help as he's getting older.

The Stannah stairlift is a total life saver. Michele came to do the sales visit a few months ago and she was very patient, thorough, and super likable. That visit went great. She was gonna send me a document we had to submit to my parents’ PCP to save on the sales tax, and we never got those documents. There was no follow-up, months went by, life happened, and we just let it go. We had some accidents happen with my parents, and I reached out to her again, told her we were interested in the lift, and she sent me the documents. She responded right away the second time. But if she had followed up quicker the first time, she might have been able to get us to purchase earlier. But we ended up purchasing anyway ‘cause her visit was really good. The installer was great and the stairlift is amazing. We have the one that's retractable on the bottom and it's excellent. The way it's put together is well thought out in terms of safety.
There are some things that we struggle with a little bit. When my dad comes up late at night, it beeps really loud the whole time it's coming up, and it wakes up the whole house. So, if there was a way to turn down the volume for whoever's coming up at midnight, that would be awesome. On the lefthand armrest where the emergency switches are, there's a light there, and I totally get that it’s a safety precaution. But it's the same problem because that light is so bright that it shines into all of our rooms. So, if there was a way that we could shut it off when we're done using it, that would be great. Every now and then, we hear a tapping sound as it passes, like somebody is tapping on the window, and the seat isn’t very sturdy. My parents don't have very good balance, so they spill into the seat, it shakes a lot and I worry that they could break it. And the reason I haven’t reached out is I pay $200 each time they send someone out. But the stairlift works fine.

The Stannah Stairlift sales representative who came to our house was very positive, professional, and highly knowledgeable. He was familiar with the competitors, and made a good sales pitch without being pushy. Their pricing was also comparable to the other brands, but Stannah had quicker availability, which was the deciding factor.
We installed two lifts: one for the basement to the first floor, and another one for the first floor to second floor. It helped get my mother-in-law up and down the stairs. We can also use it to help us bring up groceries. When not in use, we leave it downstairs, so it is out of anybody's way. However, it keeps beeping when it's downstairs until we move it. I know there's a way to turn off the beeping, but it's a pain. It would have been nice if there was an automatic button when pressed and does not have to be held the whole time. Maybe that's a safety issue. Otherwise, it works very well. We feel very comfortable with it.

So far, so good. I'm loving it. I enjoy being able to go up the stairs again. I had to call for help every time I hit the 10th step, because my legs would turn into jelly, but then one of the EMTs told me to better get a stair chair.

I got a straight one, and the gentlemen who came to install it did the jobe quickly and efficiently. The installation was very straightforward, and after he installed it, he went over it with us explaining the functionality of it and how to operate it. He had a little booklet that he showed us too.
However, when I was doing my research, some of the chairs go a little faster than Stannah. So, I wish mine was a little faster than it is. Also, the website is not so good. It needs to be improved because I was trying to see things on the website that I wasn’t able to see. I ended up having to call the sales rep.

Stannah did what they said they were gonna do and they were there when they said they would be. The stairlift is at my mother's house and it does what it's supposed to. Also, Stannah offered me a great option. I rented it for six months, which is half the cost of what it would cost to buy it outright. We were talking about moving my mother out or remodeling the house for her so she can stay. But then things got worse and now we're back to moving her out and putting her in a facility. More than likely, I would return the stairlift and I'd be done with it, so it works perfect.

My wife has Parkinson's and she's using a walker and a wheelchair. So, I needed some way to get her down the stairs. Without the stairlift, I have to carry her down. And at my age, I can't do something like that. I had a friend who had a stairlift put in on the stairs going up the second floor. He got one for his wife who also has Parkinson's and they were happy with the job. I asked for some information and he gave me Stannah’s number. I called them and I was very happy because I had someone else in and he was $2,000 more. The stairlift is a very good product. Sometimes, you get a product and you have to spend some time getting work done on it because it's not done properly. But this was done properly. The kid did a very nice job. He was very kind, reserved and willing to offer any help that I needed while I was talking to him about it.

I had an old stairlift that Stannah took out. I was given the phone number to call and order a new one. I paid the whole amount of $5,000 and it was replaced. The reps were very much gentlemanly. I got a straight stairlift and it's nice and slow. It's not too fast. It's good. It seems to be very nice and solid instrument. But I got into a little bit of a bind because the lift gets to the top stair and sometimes it catches on the rug a little bit. I don't know if it needs to be adjusted or whether it's good for wear. I was gonna see if it would break in a little bit before I call Stannah.

I recently had a fantastic experience with Stannah Stairlifts, and I'm delighted with their service. The salesman was incredibly helpful without being pushy. He even offered to answer questions if we decided on another company. Our installation was a bit tricky due to the unique layout of our stairs and the stairlift was catching on a stair. They promptly sent another installer to solve the issue by adjusting the lift to glide seamlessly over the last stair. Stannah is an excellent company, and the stairlift itself is top-notch. We explored options from three companies, and Stannah stood out to us because of its unique features like charging anywhere on the rail and a seamlessly integrated seatbelt. It's in a little container instead of hanging out there looking ugly. Overall, they have wonderful people, and I'd highly recommend them!

I decided to purchase a Stannah stairlift for my 87-year-old father who hurt his leg and needed assistance to move up and down the stairs. After doing some research, I found Stannah had the best ratings and had heard great things about them. The interaction with their representative during the sales visit was very positive. They were helpful, straightforward, and the whole process moved quickly. From the initial call to the first appointment was about 2 days, and from signing the agreement to installation was in another week.
We opted for a straight indoor lift, which fits perfectly into our home. It's fantastic as it dramatically helps my father with mobility, and it’s not obstructive at all. My father finds it incredibly convenient and easy to use. The training provided was quick and efficient, taking just about 5 minutes to cover everything.
Overall, our experience with Stannah has been excellent. Their customer service, the quality of the stairlift, and the sales/marketing process all deserve top marks in my book.

I had a mixed experience with Stannah. The sales representative was wonderful, and the installation team did a great job. We rented a used stairlift for my nephew, who was diagnosed with cancer at 25. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the financial department. There was a miscommunication regarding the rental payment, and the person I dealt with was quite unpleasant, which made the situation more distressing during an already difficult time.
The stairlift functioned well initially, although one of the buttons began to malfunction. Sadly, shortly after installation, my nephew passed away, and we had used the lift for only one month despite paying for six. It was disappointing that there was no reimbursement offered under these circumstances. The financial burden of cancer is overwhelming, and some empathy from the company would have been appreciated.
Hello Ginger,
We are deeply sorry for your loss and extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. We’re glad to hear that our sales representative and installation team met your expectations and that the stairlift was able to provide some assistance during such a challenging time.
While our rental contracts specify that reimbursements aren’t available, we sincerely apologize if there was any miscommunication regarding this aspect of your agreement. We also regret any unpleasant interactions you experienced and will review this to ensure we provide better support in the future.
If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please don’t hesitate to reach out at 1-888-680-4073.

I recently interacted with Stannah because we were looking for a stairlift, and I'm genuinely impressed with the service and product. We chose Stannah because they offered a great rental plan with an option to purchase, where the rental fees contribute towards the buying price if we decide to keep it longer. This flexibility is fantastic, and their services have been excellent. The presentation was clear, and Tony, the representative, was very helpful, answering my few questions. I was worried about fitting the lift in our stairwell with a landing, but he explained everything clearly and showed us how the setup would work. We opted for a straight model since they don't rent curved ones, which are custom-made.
The standout feature for me is the ease of use. There are remotes on both ends of the staircase, and the device operates smoothly and quietly, contrary to what I expected. There’s also a battery for emergency use during power outages. They gave us clear instructions and a printout for this, which is reassuring. Stannah's support has been remarkable. When we first had it installed, I couldn’t operate it correctly and called them the same night. They sent someone out the next morning to assist us, which I thought was outstanding. Their availability around the clock is very reassuring. My husband loves the stairlift as well. Previously, going up and down the stairs was treacherous for him, and this lift has been a lifesaver.

I recently purchased a stair lift from Stannah after researching various manufacturers. Stannah was the only company offering a motorized seat that could turn the chair in the specific direction I needed at the bottom of my stairs, which was a significant mechanical advantage for my requirements.
The initial sales interaction was satisfactory, and I chose to install two straight units. The installation team was very professional, competent, pleasant, and maintained a neat working environment. They did an excellent job overall.
