I would recommend to anyone purchasing a Stannah stair lift. They have a great reputation. I liked everything about them. The salesman was very knowledgeable and helpful, and worked hard to get the stairlift put in as soon as possible. We're very pleased.

The stairlift is a nice unit. The quality seems well. The guy that installed it was very friendly. He answered any questions we had.

We went and had appointments with three different people with different products. Although Stannah Stairlifts was the more expensive one, it had options that were better than the other ones that were offered by competing companies. For example, and most importantly, the seatbelt option. The seat was a bit wider. Also, it seemed like it's inconsequential, except that it's a cover for the footings that attached to the floor. Without that, if I were to accidentally step on it, I would step on bolts, nuts and screws. I didn't like that. But it was a superior product.
The rep was very informative. He didn't say anything negative about any of the other people. He just told us what the options were. By doing that, illustrated that there was more available with the Stannah than with the other product we looked at. The installers came on time. They didn't make a mess. And they cleaned up after they finished. There was a bit of a problem with where it would go. Because it went out into the walkway. They were able to resolve that issue. And they gave us a how-to lesson in the operation. Everything was smooth and went well.
I'm very satisfied with the product. The stairlift is everything I thought it would be. It's a smooth ride. It's not too fast and not too slow. It's something that made the whole house available to my wife and I. It has kept us from having to change the whole order of our house. It has made it easier for my wife to get upstairs and get to her closets, and for both of us to get to our bedroom.

I used Stannah Stairlifts because we used them before with my mom 10 years ago. I was familiar with what they do, so it didn't take a lot. It was concise and to the point. The tech was in and out in 2.5 hours. Showed us how to do everything. It was very easy. My dad likes the stairlift. It has made him more independent.

I did a lot of research, and I found out that Stannah is highly recommended by Consumer Reports. There was Acorn but when I read about them, I wasn't very thrilled. When I spoke to the gentleman with Stannah who was trying to come here to give me an estimate, he was very nice, knowledgeable, and honest. He did not pressure me, was sincere with what he was saying and gave me what I needed. I got a straight stairlift because there's a tiny landing that it twirled around the chair. There's also a railing for two steps. The installer, Carl, was very nice as well. He could have done this stuff in his sleep. He knew what he was doing, was very neat, didn't make any mess, and told me exactly what he was doing. When I called about the key, he explained everything to me. They also told me that I could save some of the battery if I let it blink.
The stairlift has been helpful. I could get upstairs and do what I have to do. I don't have to do the wash and sit up there for two hours for it to dry. I could just do it, come downstairs, and let that run its course. It's very convenient for stuff like that. I don't have to worry about going up and down the stairs 100 times a day, and I know that I can go upstairs safely. I also found ways of getting the laundry basket upstairs. It could be on my lap while I go up then I just put it on the landing. I'm very happy with the stairlift. The price was good too. I thought it would be a lot more money than it was. I was also very surprised there was no tax ‘cause it’s a medical thing.

I had done my research prior, so I had a feeling that I knew what a straight stair and curved was, and an idea of what the Stannah Stairlifts rep would say. It was as I predicted. That one level of stairs would be a straight lift, and if it would curve around, it would require something more complicated. So, it was exactly what I expected. The straight one took 2.5 hours to install. It wasn't that big of a deal, because the straight lifts, one for the basement and the other is from the first floor but there's a smaller sub level so it's not going upstairs to the bedroom. So the straight lifts were smooth. The curve probably took a bit longer.
There was one little setback this week. One of the calls got misrouted. They're working on a remote issue for the curved. The curved install was this past Friday. And on Saturday, I noticed that it started to malfunction on one of the remotes. As it turned out, one of the new remotes is defective. So on Monday, I made a call. I was told that one of the tech guys would call back. But I didn't get a call back, so I had to call again yesterday. Somehow the call got routed to out of state. I don't know how that happened. He wasn't able to put in the work request. They're working on it now. Everything was scheduled yesterday, and now he's here, working on it.
There was one time when I may have triggered something that stopped the straight lift. I may have accidentally bumped into the operating switch and the power switch when I sat down on it, and the next thing I knew was it stopped. After a reset, it worked. My mom likes the stairlift. It takes away having to climb up and down. It eliminates the problem.

I went online and some marketing site match said, “Stannah matched your needs a little better.” So, I gave them first shot, and I was impressed with the mechanics of the stairlft, especially the way the automatic end drop pulls out of the way and drops back into the way. And I had made up my mind. I had a meeting with Acorn, but I was more impressed with Stannah Stairlifts. So, even if they were a little more expensive, it has so far proven to be a good decision. From the initial contact on the phone, to the appointment, to the sales rep, the installation, it was done as promised in a predictable amount of time.
The sales rep presented the benefits of it, and the mechanics of it. I like that idea that when you are going up the steps, the part that protrudes, in my case, into the doorway pulls out of the way. It has proven to be an asset. And I got the impression from what he said, the general construction of it was better. The layout of it, the little floor folding up automatically, the buttons of it, the operation is all very good.
I bought two sets. One to get up to the second, one, get up to the third. And I've gone so far as to look at apartments to get away from the steps, but the apartments can't match my physical needs in terms of a stall bath, convenient laundry, the whole thing. I did a year's comparison of moving into an apartment versus staying in the house. I took steps out of the equation by virtue of purchasing the stair lifts. I saved $13,000 to be here for at least another year. I probably have to get out of the house this time of year from now and go into an assisted living or that type of facility because I suffer from nerve damage and it's not getting better. So, it became almost a return on investment type of thing. I will have saved $13,000 and maintain my living in the house versus having to move.

I was very impressed with the sales guy at Stannah. He had a very nice presentation. He was very confident and intelligently interactive. He listened as well as spoke. He painted a very nice picture of why this was a good one to buy. I didn't look any further. The installation was a one-day operation, and it was very well done. The stairlift takes up some room on the stairs, which were not too wide to begin with. It feels a little tight going up and down the stairs if you aren't using it. But it performs an important service and it's worth the cost. I got it for my wife and I haven't quite persuaded her to try it out. But she will. I've been using it mostly to get heavy things up the stairs because I used to be able to carry them up.

The installers took about three to four hours to do the work. The stairlift has good quality. Overall, it was a good experience.

We had a good visit with the sales rep. I had two stairways and Stannah couldn't go around it so they had me put two chairs in there. I watched the installers do their work and they were very efficient. The chairlifts are doing very good. It's very good quality.

The reps were straightforward and answered all my questions. I also went out and checked on Stannah's background and it was all positive. Stannah had a good reputation. The installers were good. They knew their business and they did a good job. They did it quickly. It was a positive experience. The chairlift is not as fast as I would like. But then again, I do have to slow down going around corners. So far, everything's been fine. I've already talked to a couple of people who asked and I suggested that Stannah was a good one to go to.

My dad’s 97 and he’s having mobility problems, so we got a chair lift. Initially, I tried Acorn, and their reviews were really terrible. I didn't think the salesman spent enough time with us explaining things. So, then I called Stannah, and that's the one we chose. We liked their salesman, Jamie, and I liked that they had a showroom that we could go in and see the product. My experience with them has been great.
The fellow came and installed the chair lift, and he was really good. However, there's the railing that goes up the stairs and there's the cover over all the chains, and there are handprints from wherever he touched to install the chair lift. It would have been better if he cleaned that off before he left. He also forgot the cushion, so we waited for him till the end of the day and that was perfect. My father, once he got to understand the chair lift, loves the chair lift now, and we haven't had any problems. So, we're very happy with it. Hopefully, if we ever need a service, that will work out too.

I love Stannah. I got the stairlift for my mother. I moved her in and she didn't wanna stay on my first floor. I bought one of the refurbished ones, and the sales rep was lovely and nice. The installer was quiet and nice too. I thought it was gonna be noisy and take all day and it didn't. I never even knew he was there. I got the straight stairlift, and the installer showed us how to use it.
The quality is good, and now, my mom's able to get up and down as many times as she wants to during the day to go upstairs. She doesn't have to walk up the stairs, and it's easy to use. She has dementia and she can even figure it out. My youngest son loves it too. He said, "We should have one all over the house." I was like, "Oh, my God, you're lazy." The stairlift is the best thing I ever bought, and I would recommend it to anybody who is thinking of getting one.

The experience with Stannah was very pleasant from start to finish. We liked the sales rep and trusted his opinion. We had to change the time, and he was flexible. He was very comforting and cooperative. Also, their entire package was preferable over someone else and the installation team was perfect. We had a technician over the house the other day because there was a slight wamble as you got halfway through. He checked it and made sure that everything was fine. That's the way it had to be installed. We purchased a used one and it's in perfect condition. Nothing is scratched or dented. It looks brand new so we're satisfied in that respect. It was a little bit expensive though.

The sales rep and the installer were great. When the installer came out, he explained what he was gonna do, then he started to attach the rail, and then he put the chair on. When he was finished, he let us look at it and he walked us through and made each of us ride it up and down to make sure we knew what we were doing. He was very friendly and cooperative.
I looked at three other stairlifts and I liked Stannah the best because of the footstool that comes out after hitting the little button. My husband has Parkinson's, and the stairlift has helped him get up the stairs. It also relieves my stress because I don't have to worry about him walking up the stairs. I use the stairlift as well when I have laundry or something in a basket. I sit on it and bring myself up with the basket so I don't have to walk up the stairs with it. If my husband is going up and the footstool is out, I can't go up on the stairs with him. However, we don't need somebody to go up with us because we sit in the chair and ride up. It's great.

Originally, we were interested in Stannah because they offered both refurbished stairlifts as well as new ones and we weren't sure which was best. There was also a local Stannah office and when we called the company, the sales rep was very friendly and responded right away. They promptly scheduled the visit and made it easy to move forward. Michelle presented directly to my parents and they were very impressed with the stairlift. Michelle gave them good advice. It's hard to sell my parents things so she must have done a great job. In the end, we bought the stairlift and so far, so good. The installation process went smoothly and my parents have been able to use it without incident. We've had a good experience and I would recommend that others consider Stannah if selecting a vendor for a stairlift.

When I contacted Stannah Stairlifts, they were able to send somebody out and do an in-home consultation. They were able to come within a short period of time. The gentleman who came was knowledgeable and was able to inspect the stairs, make some suggestions on which would be the appropriate stairlift, and run through all the options with us. Well-prepared and knowledgeable about the product.
The installation was scheduled at a convenient time. Stannah told us how long it would take. It took that amount of time. There was one minor issue, but they were able to come back and answer our question and fix a small detail. But no major issues at all with the installation. It went smoothly. When my mother-in-law comes to visit, she uses the stairlift and it has been perfect for her.

We inquired about a stairlift earlier with someone else and they were not as pleasant as the salesman from Stannah. He explained everything in detail, like what we'd get, where it would be, and how it would be installed. He brought us over to the steps and showed us everything that would happen if we bought from him. We were telling him the price was a little higher than we wanted, then he said they have reconditioned units and that they could work with us with that and that it would bring the cost down under what we wanted to do with the equipment that we wanted. This gentleman also sent us a brochure, unlike the other guy who didn't. He just told us about the product and its price. When we told him it was over our budget and asked if there was any way around it, he said there was no way out. So, we decided to go with Stannah.
The stairlift has been excellent and it's easy to handle. It would be a very tight system but some person could come down with it if we had to. We have no problem with it whatsoever and we're happy with it. I told my friends that Stannah was an excellent choice and I told them everything I could about them. My sister said that they would look into it when her and her husband got ready. They're both having knee replacements.

We had a salesman come out and introduce us to the product line. He was very friendly and engaging. He educated us through a brochure on the various packages, the basic model versus the upgraded model. We were able to make the selection of the proper stairlift that we needed, and he was able to write up the invoice and work order. It was very straightforward. They told us it would be about two weeks before someone could come out and install, which they did. We had someone call us a few days before the installation to say that someone was coming out, and they provided us with his name. He came out early that Saturday morning with all the parts and started to go right to work. He did a good job of stapling all the wire hookup to get everything set up for the two stairlifts. It took him two to three hours and once he was done, he did a demonstration to show my husband how to work it.
The stairlift was installed very securely and it's not bad to look at. I don't feel it clutters the staircase. My husband now uses it and he loves it. It makes going up and down the stairs for him easier and safer. It is very sturdy as well. My husband is able to put all his weight on the footstep and not worry. I love how quiet the stairlift is and it's very easy to use. I also like the fact that the seat and the footrest go up together and come down together. It's been very smooth sailing with Stannah. Every person that I've engaged with has been very friendly, professional and confident of their product. It's a company that's been around for over 150 years. I also found that they're not just the supplier, but they're also the manufacturer. If anything goes wrong, I get one year for parts and two years for service.

I have knee issues, and I was going up and down on my butt before. The stair lift is convenient, and it has helped me a great deal. It takes up a lot of room for people who don't use it, but that's the way our house is configured. One day, I stopped it halfway, and it hesitated to continue, but it worked. My only thing is it has a bar at the bottom, and we have a cat. So, I always have to worry that it doesn't hit him ‘cause the bar extends to the bottom extension rail.

Stannah is great and my mother loves the stairlift that he had installed. It works perfectly and she really couldn't live without it. She knows how to do use it even though her memory is not quite as good. Without it, she wouldn't be able to maintain her lifestyle. But with it, she's able to live independently at a three-story house. Also, there are five stairs going from the kitchen into the garage and she exits the house through that way. She didn't have to do it that often so, she was able to negotiate that. But it was becoming harder and harder. It would take her a long time, about 10 minutes, to go down five stairs. So, we got a new stairlift for that and it works just as well as the first one.

The Stannah rep knew what he was talking about. No pressure salesman and down to earth. He was somebody I could talk to and it worked out very well. The stairlift fits well because I didn't have to move my railing that was against the wall and that's where the chair is. It's tucked over there even though the railing is on the stairs itself and the handrail is on the same side as the chairlift, you can go up and down the stairs with no problem of bumping into the railing. They fixed it up. There's still plenty of room to walk downstairs without tripping.
It works well. I ended up using it myself because my wife hadn't been home for two months. I wanted to put one in a couple of years ago, but she wouldn't let anybody in the house. She took a fall this time and she was out of the house for three days. I was using it for the first couple of weeks to make sure everything was working out all right. I use it every night. Like a heavy load of laundry, I use it as a dumbwaiter.

I first did the web research and then I called Stannah. The reps were very helpful, competent and kind on the phone. They sent out an estimator who would tell me what it was gonna cost and what kind of lift we needed. Then, they sent out the installation guy. They provided manuals so it was a very well-organized, thorough process. I had the Stannah stairlift installed at the end of July and I use it multiple times daily. I broke my leg and I live in a two-story house and everything’s upstairs. I started with a wheelchair then crutches, and then a cane. But even then, they wouldn't let me climb the stairs for a while. So, my wife and I decided to put in a Stannah stairlift that would allow me to get to the bedroom and the shower, sleep in my bed and take a shower in my own shower.
I probably make about a dozen trips a day up and down and the Stannah stairlift has worked flawlessly for me so far. It’s a straight stairlift and fits in very nicely. At the bottom, it goes ahead and past the stairs so it's easy to walk around if you wanna use the stairs without the stairlift. And at the top, you can fold the arms, the seat and the footrest up. In which case, you can walk right past it using the stairs also. The stairlift is steel and painted well. It's got a good white vinyl over the gears that lift the chair. So it looks good and it works fine. One guy installed everything from scratch all by himself in about three hours and that included signing in the paperwork. I didn't have any trouble afterwards so he did a great job.
Stannah tends to be higher in price than many. But they have some quality features too that the other ones don't advertise. For example, installation is included in the price. Another is they've got half a dozen safety mechanisms. By accident, I've tried to use it with all the safety mechanisms in place. We went with Stannah anyway even though I've done the research and found other ones that were less expensive. They're certainly not the cheapest. But they're close to the best. If you're paying for a service or product and it's the right thing to do, then do it. My wife even uses the stairlift. Neither one of us is a kid anymore. Especially if she's carrying something downstairs, she'll just sit down and carry it down.

My cousin's 89 years old and he has 14 stairs going straight up to his condo. He's been there for over 20 years and he doesn't want to move. We had called three other stairlift places and one company couldn't do the install one for us because the stairs weren't wide enough. Another company didn't give a quote and another one came out but decided they couldn't do it. Then, while my cousin was playing casino on his computer, he saw Stannah and called me. I had to find the number that he was looking at and I called them. We also got a referral from the electrician who was doing an outlet at my cousin's friend's place. We asked him if he could come and look at the outlet for us for the stairlift. And he told us to call the same people and talk to the same salesperson who was coming out to me. So, it was good.
The sales rep who came out was excellent. He explained everything and made suggestions that were an improvement on what the other stairlift people made. And he's still with us because we still got to remove the door before we can get the stairlift all the way in. They came out to install it on Friday, but the door is still there. I completely forgot about that. So now, we're checking into door removal companies to remove the door. It would be like a door that you would see at a business to block off the wind in the walkway. It's never shut and it's been permanently open as long as I've been going there.
Once we get it removed, we can get the stairlift installed. The sales rep is making sure he follows up with us on what needs to be done. In fact, I talked to him by text this morning. So, as soon as I send him a picture showing that I got the door removed, they'll come on out again. The people that came out on Friday were so sorry and they were trying to see if we could just change it. But they were not able to do that. They were really nice and everybody from Stannah has been excellent.

We should have two gears, one for old people and one for me.

Stannah was a recommendation from one of my neighbors who had put it in. They were extremely pleased and they happened to have the unit in their home, so I was able to see it in operation. I called Stannah and the salesperson was very helpful and on top of things. He was very thorough and answered any questions. The installer was great. He gave me a good demonstration of how to operate the stairlift and everything was cleaned up when he left. The stairlift is doing the job. I'm very pleased with Stannah and I'd recommend them.

The Stannah rep who came to our home was nice. We were gonna give him a call because my husband felt a little bump in the stair lift and see if that's normal or if we need to get it checked. But other than that, it's been working great. It’s been a big help. We've told the visiting nurses if anybody needs one, that they should call the gentleman who came here.

I have trouble with my knees and I had blocks of wood on the stairs so that I could go up half a step at a time, which worked very well, but the occupational therapist came in and recommended that I get a stairlift. Everything went really well during the sales visit with Stannah. The rep was very informative and knowledgeable. Also, the installers were very good.
My favorite feature of the stairlift is the retracting bar at the bottom. I had a stairlift before for my husband and the rail went right down across in front of the doorway. I couldn't use my doorway to bring my husband into the dining room with the wheelchair. When I got this one, I said I was going to need a retracting rail and this one really works good. The fact that it's all closed in and doesn't need the servicing also sold me on this one. The stairlift makes life easier. I can get up and down the stairs, do the laundry, and go for my shower much easier.

I'm a building inspector by trade and I've seen a few of Stannah stairlifts installed on jobs and I liked what I saw. I contacted Stannah and met with the rep and he was wonderful. He explained everything that I needed to get done and it was really nice. They ordered it and we set up a delivery time. Once the stairlift was delivered, the installers said they were coming at 8 o'clock in the morning. They got here about five minutes to 8:00 and they assembled the material out in the garage and were very neat. They swept up after everything they did. It was like a puzzle and they put it together piece by piece. They marked it all out first, did the bolting, installed, and did the wiring and all the testing. At the end of the day, it worked fine and they gave us a lesson on it. I like the functionality and the performance of the stairlift. It's for my parents and they're getting used to it. It helps my mother drastically who can't even walk upstairs.

I was in the hospital for four days. Everybody recommended I do something because I have to use my stairs. I had bought a Stannah a number of years ago and I never used it, but I saw the quality of it. I sold it. I thought they were good stairlift, so that was why I bought the one I did. The Stannah rep came out and told me what it was gonna cost. Originally, I was gonna buy the gadget that goes on the bottom, so it doesn't have a piece sticking out. Then I changed my mind, and I didn't get that. That reduced the cost somewhat. I gather she measured it because when they came and installed it, they knew the length of the track and then everything fit perfectly. The people that installed it did a good job. The stairlift works fine. It minimizes the chance of falling down the stairs. I just came back from a trip and when I packed my suitcase, I put it in my lap when I rode the stairlift down. That made it a lot easier to get my suitcase up and down the stairs.

The sales rep was very nice, thorough and had her stuff together. She gave me a little discount and everything she told us was true. I got the straight stairlift and it fits perfectly.

So, the first time, the old chair was on the stairs, and they told her that we needed to remove that old chair. Then she needed to come back and re-measure, which she did. She was very pleasant and she gets back to me whenever I call her about anything. She's a very nice person.
We have not yet received our chair. I talked to the lady yesterday and she told me the chair is in town and someone will be calling me about installation and I haven't received that call as of yet.

I had an awesome experience with Kevin, the salesperson. Stannah is a family-owned business and they're very personable. They aim to please. They are very good people. The day they said they were coming out, they came out. They were on time. The installation didn't take them a long time. They didn't complete it and they let us know. There was another piece in there and in about another week, we're looking for them to come and complete it.
In the meantime, we can still use the stairlift. The only thing is that at the bottom of the lift, by being such close quarters, it was something extra that they had to do. So, when you get ready to go back up, you have to do something with your hand instead of automatically pushing a button until they can get that piece in. It's a small house and at the bottom, it wasn't enough room for them to complete what they had to do. We just had to improvise for a minute. No inconvenience, though. It doesn't keep my brother-in-law from going up and down the stairs. From the installation, it was professional. They made sure that it operated several times before they left.

He fell down the stairs several years ago and he ruptured the quad tendon in his knee. It didn't heal properly, so he's off-balance, he has trouble walking and he can't put a lot of weight on that leg all the time. So, it's hard for him to go up and down the stairs. So, the Stannah made a huge difference in his life. It's been a nice convenience for me.

A friend of mine is handicapped and she cannot take the 13 steps up to the house. We decided she has to get a chairlift and I checked it out on the internet. I found Stannah and I contacted the sales representative. He was receptive. He said they can put it in in one week and I couldn't believe it. So I decided I was gonna go with him, and luckily so. I got everything I wanted right away. To get up to the house, we can use the front door and another way is a stairway inside the garage up to the kitchen, which was more protected. So that was a good idea. The two mechanics who came and put it in were totally professional and got it done in three hours. Everybody was excited about the stairlift and it worked well. It’s very good. It's a little learning curve but it’s nothing. Though if you get an older person, it gets harder to learn.

I like Stannah's company history. They seem solid. The installation went smoothly. They got it in there in a day. The stairlift is a good product and it does its job. I'm not terrified my dad's gonna fall down the stairs and break his hip. It's given him a lot more mobility. It needs a little adjustment at the top, but that's okay. Their indoor models have a powered rotate, which is awesome, and it would be nice to have it on their outdoor model. You have to rotate the chair at the top to get in in front of it. That requires a lot of dexterity. I'm only 40 but at 91, it's a little harder. Although my dad's gotten used to it and he's doing better with that, that part is a little challenging. The other thing is if he leaves the chair rotated out to get back in it at the top, it locks out the call boxes on the bottom and top. You can't bring it back down.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear that the installation went smoothly and that the stairlifts has provided your dad with increased mobility and safety.
We understand the challenges you've mentioned regarding the manual swivel, especially for someone of your dad's age. Unfortunately, our outdoor lifts do not have options for a power swivel or footrest due to weather-related considerations. We appreciate your understanding of this limitation.
Regarding the issue with the chair locking out the call boxes when left rotated, please call our customer service team for assistance with any adjustments, 800-877-8247.

The rep who did the presentation was very personable and right to the point. He told us exactly what product Stannah has, what the product does and what the cost would be. The stairlift was exactly what we were looking for and it was a better deal with Stannah. The gentleman who installed it was great. He was a young man and knew his business very well. He told us what he was doing, how he was doing it and what to expect. After the installation, he showed us everything we need to know about the chair. The quality is one of the best, if not the best.

My husband was falling a lot and I have arthritis. Both of us were having trouble going up and down the stairs, especially as many times as my husband needed me to go down and bring him up and down and carry things. We went through a few different stairlift people and Stannah’s cost was better than some of the others and more reasonable. It had a guarantee and there was someone here in Southern California who could help us take care of it if there were any problems. But the installation process was not very good. We were happy with having the stairlift and the boys were very nice. But they knocked over my orchids and all the plants and pots were broken. Then, they left black marks on the walls and didn't connect the tubing. I could have done that myself. But the stairlift works and it's fine.

My mother-in-law is having problems going up and down stairs and we looked into Stannah. It cost her a couple of dollars more but the features that all the other lift companies tried to sell as add-ons weren't add-ons. You're paying almost the same price but it all came in one package. So, it was a little smoother. She purchased two lifts because she lives in a split entry and both are great. They fit just fine. She likes the stairlift. She keeps jamming her foot into the footrest and the stairlift is stopping on her. But everything that has gone wrong are all user errors and Stannah stands right behind it.

Stannah gives you the option to purchase a used chair. So, it's cheaper. Also, I looked up on the website for reviews, and they have better reviews than other companies. The people I dealt with were both very professional. I had questions for the person who came to give us an estimate, and he was responsive. The installation person did everything. I was disappointed with one thing. It wasn't clear to me when it was described that when you go up the stairs, you can move the chair to be facing the side but on the bottom, it's not. I live in New York City. So, the space is very limited. My mom is having a lot of trouble getting off the stairs even though I have a bar. Adding the swivel at the bottom would cost me $700 extra. I didn't realize that the bottom part wasn't included.

The gentleman that first came to do the measurements was so precise and very professional. He sat with us at the table and said he could manage to get it in because it's not a big area. The Stannah stairlift goes to the basement which goes to the garage. It's impacted my mom's life a lot because she couldn't get out before and we'd have to help her up the stairs and we're so afraid that she'd fall. And every time she had a doctor's appointment, we had to use a wheelchair and call my brothers over and physically pick up the wheelchair and bring it down the front stairs, down the lawn, and into the car. So, we did have to involve other people for her to get out and we don't have to do that now.
The gentleman that came said, "Don't ever take this out. No matter what happens with your mom or whatever. You will need it. It's amazing what could happen. You could hurt your foot, hurt your leg, and you can use it." The easiest way to get into the house is through that stairway, and we now use it when we go grocery shopping. Instead of making four trips up the stairs, we'll put the grocery bags on the chairlift and raise it on up. It's very convenient. We have an elderly dog that we normally carry down the stairs. And now, we can sit in the chair and put the dog on our lap and go down the stairs with the dog. It helps our lives, too.

The Stannah sales rep was courteous. He explained everything and he was not pushy. I appreciated him. I had two indoors, straight stairlift put in -- one for once you go upstairs and one for the basement. The gentlemen were very good during the installation. They were quick and clean and they demonstrated perfectly well how it works. A gentleman just came here because the footrest wasn't working. He explained everything in great detail and I even had him repeat it a couple of times. It was a very simple matter and he showed me how to fix it if it happened again. He did not leave until I totally understood what had gone wrong.
The machine is very sensitive, though, and there's too many bells and whistles that would prevent it from working. Sometimes it's hard to figure out when to correct something. But other than that, it works great. I'm 78 years old and when you have to get a stair lift, it just reminds you of your age. My grandson who's 18 said to think of it as a house luxury and that's what I do every time I go up at night.

Stannah was my second choice because there was another brand that goes up to 400 pounds and the one from them only goes up to 350. So, I was worried because my husband's been up in those weight lanes and he’s still wide. But he’s closer to 300 now. He’s in his 70s and he doesn’t have mobility issues but he has a heart problem. We have 22 steps coming up into the main part of our house and his doctor wants him to go up a few stairs because it's good for him. But he doesn't want him going up all those stairs all at once.
The other company was somewhere around $20,000 because they couldn’t just put a railing on the main flight of stairs. The guy who came out said his manager wouldn't let him do it. To do what they wanted, I would have had to get a loan somewhere. They were willing to rent to me a chairlift for $1,000 that was what we wanted but they were gonna pull that out and do what they wanted. I called Stannah and they did the chairlift for the probable price of $5,000. They put it in instantly and we love it. They did it in a matter of days and stuck with their price. They didn't throw anything extra in. We got the slightly bigger chair but it wasn't an unreasonable amount.
The chairlift works beautifully and it’s quiet. The installers demonstrated how to do it. My husband couldn't get down the stairs easily and was stuck upstairs. He could walk down but he couldn't go back up and bring up a bag of groceries. Now, he can get out of the house and go places. He is going up and down the stairs almost every day. I come home and see that he hasn't turned the chairlift and has flattened it up against the wall. So, he's using it. I came home last night and the garbage cans were out in front because it's garbage night. He could do it because he could go down the stairs. I don't wanna ride in the chairlift because I wanna get my exercise going up and down my stairs. So, I'm putting grocery bags on it and sending them up. But my husband can hold them and he can go up.

Stannah Stairlift is a real problem. The one in the back hall constantly stops. We have to constantly adjust it. It never quits. The fellow came out and told us about the various things that could go wrong. We can fix some of these easily, but it's not worth what it cost us to put these stairlifts in. We purchased a stairlift because both my husband and I are unable to easily climb the stairs. There are two short flights of stairs to the second floor. The first flight goes to an area out over our garage, which is our study and our office and where we spend most of our time. So then we had to put one up the front stairs, which we have used probably 10 times. It, so far, seems to run when we try to use it compared to the one in the back in the house. The one that comes in from the garage, we have not used very much and that seems to work every time.
This one in the back hall, I really think we got a piece of junk. I think it was somebody else's stairlift that they returned and we got it because it doesn't consistently run. You can't call it sometimes. It's just one thing after another. The fellows who came out to explain it have been very nice. It's just I haven't bothered to call about the backstairs anymore because they can't fix it. I wouldn't recommend Stannah. You get the stairlift, and if they can't fix it, you're stuck with it. It does allow us to get upstairs with a considerable amount of aggravation much of the time, but we can get up the stairs.

The Stannah sales rep was very knowledgeable and gave me a bunch of options. My only negative is the scheduling for the installation.

To be very fair, it was around the holiday time but I had hoped that the installation would have been a little bit quicker.
Also, I'm a little bit dubious about the stairlift. We've had it for five months and I've already had them back to adjust it once, something to do with the chain. I'm noticing on the end of it, there's a piece of rubber that sat between the tile floor and the end post and that rubber keeps shifting on me. When they came back to do the maintenance on the chain, they just cut off part of the rubber. More of the rubber is coming out and I don't know what that's all about. And the footrest sticks and it doesn't always come down. It's functional, but it's just a little bit hesitant at certain points. I figured that I wouldn't call for another service call on the footrest until I really needed it on the chain part of it.

The installation was completed on February 8, and the chairlift has been working fine. We had a slight problem with some noise and they came out and fixed it. We're having a similar problem upstairs and I was gonna call them today and I'm sure they'll come right out and fix it. Overall, I'm very pleased with the decision we made. Not only to get a chairlift, but also to go with Stannah. I couldn't get upstairs or down without it.

I'm very happy with Stannah. It's changed my life for the better. I was having difficulty going up and down the stairs. I'm over 90, and it just got to be too difficult. I was looking around and a friend who has Stannah told me about it and recommended it highly. We called and took it from there. The sales rep was knowledgeable and explained everything. He was very good, and so far, the stairlift is working very well. It takes up a lot of room, but then again, my stairway is narrow and within those confines, it fits. People can get past it and go up and down without using it, which is great.

I got two other estimates from other companies and Stannah was on the high side. I would have preferred to pay a little less, but my sister told me that they love it, so I decided to go with Stannah. The rep and I had a good conversation. I got an indoor stairlift that goes straight up, but one option we have is the last piece lifts up because it was blocking about a third into the opening to the living room. The installer was excellent because he did it one, two, three and he was done, and the stairlift works great.

I did my homework and visited the showroom, then ordered a Stannah stairlift to extend from my basement to the second floor of my home. It was installed, but four months later I still can't use it. The chair faces the wall as it travels up the stairwell and it ends at the top step before my second floor landing. I was never told that the only way for the chair to face the landing rather than the wall was for me to manually turn it, pushing with my feet against the wall. I needed the stairlift because I have severe arthritis in my hip and chronic pain in legs, arms, shoulders, wrists, etc.
I said I would pay to have the stair lift rails extended by about 3 feet to turn the corner on my landing and face the doorway. Stannah says this would cost me $9,600 because they would have to trash the entire rail system -- all three stories -- and start over. The rails came in sections which were assembled in my home, so I asked why they couldn't just replace the last section and add the extension. They said that I could request that but it would cost the same as replacing the entire system.
Stannah never disclosed that any modification or repair of the rails would result in total replacement, and frankly it doesn't make any sense to me. I need the extension to be safe in my home and they have me over a barrel. And their "contract" is really a purchase agreement for the hardware and labor in one price. No disclosures at all. If a customer has a short, straight, wide staircase, the Stannah may be a good option. But I don't recommend it due to their disingenuous advertising and virtually non-existent disclosures.

The Stannah Stairlift is a wonderful thing. It was wonderful for the short time that my wife used it. It's quiet. When I have used it, I would move it from one level, which is the resting level, to another. However, when it was out of place because it wasn't in this resting spot, it would signal that it needed to be moved back to where it generally would sit. That signal, if I wasn't ready to put it back for whatever reason, I would have liked to have some way of turning it off. I don't know if that exists. So, I would put it back to the level at which it normally would sit all night long. Otherwise, though, that beeping to alert me would be annoying. It makes you put it back where it's supposed to be and that's minor. But there might be some trick to turning off that sound.

I liked Stannah Stairlifts' availability and responsiveness. They were quick to get someone to come out and take a look to assess the right application. But I was a little disappointed. It took a bit longer than I wanted between giving a thumbs up and when it was installed. So, the representations made by the salesperson who came out to do the assessment were more aggressive than what was achievable. The price didn't change but the timing slipped by a number of weeks. What was something that was supposedly available for install within a couple of weeks took several weeks before it was available. Other than that, the installation went great. Also, the stairlift gets frequent use and works well.

I had been thinking about getting a stairlift for a long time because of the difficulty with going up and down the stairs. I went online first and put out a feeler to a few companies that I was interested and to get a quote. Stannah was the first one to respond and by the time somebody else responded, they had already come over, given us a quote, and explained everything to us. It seemed that they really knew what they were doing. We did get another quote, which was less money but Stannah seemed to be concentrating more on the stairlift.
The representative came out, and there was no pressure at all, which was also what I liked. I hate being pressured into anything. She just explained it, showed us the different colors, and explained how ours would work. She explained everything even to the point that they were gonna put an automatic door closer on our front door so the front door couldn't be wide open when you were using the stairlift. They seemed to cover everything.
The stairlift is performing very well. We had a little problem in the beginning. Our stairlift drops down on to the floor. Then after you would use it, the rail itself folds back on itself so it's not a tripping hazard. It just wasn't adjusted perfectly the first time it went on, and so the stairlift would stop when it came to the part where the two joined. I called them, and they came out in two days and fixed it. It was just an adjustment.
I feel great when I'm in it. I said to my husband, “One of these days, I'm just gonna fall asleep coming down because it's just so relaxing.” It’s so comfortable and you feel very secure. You don't feel like it’s any hassle. It has improved my mornings tremendously. Before, I would come downstairs and I'd be downstairs for the day. Not that I couldn't get upstairs, but it would cause a lot of pain. Now, I have the freedom. I can go downstairs. I can go back upstairs when I want to if I have to do something up there. It’s given me free rein over my house again.

I tracked down Stannah and told them that I wanted to meet with somebody. The person that came was the person who was going to do the installation, and it was very simple and easy. But I have a very unusual condition. I'm an architect and I knew exactly what I wanted to do. We did three floors and it was all done within less than a day. Fortunately, I have a very clean and open stair, so it works very well. It's not up against any walls and everything floats. But that has to do with the design of the stairs that existed before Stannah's railing came in.
So far, the stairlift does its job and it's very easy to use. But it's over-designed. For some people, it's absolutely what they need. But if I were doing this for myself, I wouldn't try to make it look like a really comfortable chair as it's not necessary. It's just something to sit on to get you from one level to another and I would make it much simpler than what I have.

At the time, they had a promotion going and they came back and offered it to me. Then they said they would install the stairlift whenever I wanted it installed and they were true to their words all the way through.

They took their time putting it together. They covered all the wires up.
The chairlift starts at the bottom of the steps on the outside of the railing and there are two round tubes that this chair rides on, and then it goes up around and it stays along the railing, and around nine steps up, it makes a sharp 90-degree turn and drops you off on to the landing. It's very nice. But the part for the step where you put your feet on is not performing well. You hit the button and it doesn't go down.

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

I bought a Stannah stairlift for my elderly mother. I was able to do choose it via pictures and I measured. I didn't really meet the salesperson but she was very nice on the phone. We spoke a few times and made that they had everything that they needed on there before we set up the installation. My mother lives in a very old house in the front. There's this big open spiral staircase and it would have been way too expensive. Also, there are more stairs outside. So, we had to do two chairlifts in her back hall. It's really tight, but it's because the staircase is narrow and the stairlift fits there. Plus, I feel safer in it being with less space around.
But because the staircase is narrow, when you try to turn the chair at the top, the arms of the chair sort of hitting the railing. So, they're coming back this week to put a smaller armrest on her chair. Other than that, it seems like the stairlift works fine. I can do use it by remote control or I let my mom have full control on the chair. That would make her feel better to go at her own pace. It's a great concept and I'm hoping that once she gets over her fear of it, we can get her out more often.

The rep with Stannah was very helpful. He gave us lots of information. The stairlift seems to be working well. It's made it easier for both my wife and me to get upstairs and downstairs. I'd like it a little bit cheaper, but it worked out fine. We'd recommend it.

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

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

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

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

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

We knew we wanna get the Stannah stairlift but we made sure my father was home and healthy first to invest in it. It was almost a token when he gets back from rehab. So, getting the stairlift installed took under six weeks. It was nobody's fault but time. My only thing is I never got confirmation that the installers were coming. I had to reach out to them. But as soon as I reached out, the sales rep was very responsive and I was given the window of 11:00 to 2:00, and the installers were there at the strike of 11:00, which was perfect. We needed to know about the time because it was at my parents’ home.
The quality is awesome and I would recommend it. I wish the price was negotiable but you get what you pay for. Being a recent amputee, my father doesn't have to worry about never going downstairs where he enjoys his man cave. That right there has been worth the investment and he's only been down a handful of times, so I can't wait to celebrate the holidays and everything else upcoming without asking how we are gonna get him downstairs.

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

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

The gentleman from Stannah explained what the lift chair was like and looked at the steps. He explained to my son and me that there was enough room to put the chair and if somebody wanted to walk on the side, there was enough room to walk on the side. He also told us how it swivels at the top of the steps and it would allow us to get my husband off, even though he wasn't walking at that time and get him on the walker and try to walk him into the bedroom.
We were told how it operates and it had a remote for upstairs and a remote downstairs. They told us the safety features and what the numbers represent on the side if something was to happen. Then, we sat down and we talked about it, and they told us what they guaranteed in terms of the year. If we wanna buy an extra warranty, we could do that, and someone would be with us during the first 10 days so that we could have a good orientation. My son is an engineer and I'm a nurse, and we didn't need all that. We just needed him to show us how it operates and the young man that did it was perfect. We put my husband in the chair and went up the steps, got him off when it swirled around. We did several trial runs and we were happy. I'm still happy with it.
I realized that it was not only for my husband. When I have to take the clothes out of the hamper and take them downstairs, I usually throw them down the steps. Now, I sit in the chair, put them on my lap, and head on downstairs. So it has some good features for me too. Not that I'm immobile. I've already recommended it to two people at my church. I always believe that people need to see. So I told them to come by whenever they felt like it and I would give them an opportunity to sit in it, and I would use the remote for them. Stannah talked about financing and told us how they could break it up into so many payments. We started laughing so the guy asked what was funny and we said we were paying with a check the whole amount. We need this. He was happy and we were very pleased.
