    My husband has not been outside the house for over a year because he couldn't get down the steps. He was a prisoner in our own home. We even had to cancel all the doctor appointments. Then COVID hit. I looked on the internet to try to find someone that could come to meet our needs. We had another company before that gave us an estimate for the stairlift, but we didn't follow through with it because it was very expensive, although we needed to have it done. Stannah Stairlifts is still very expensive. They came out and so far, have been meeting our needs. He's able to go to the doctors’ offices now. Although with COVID, there really isn't any place to go, but at least I can get him into the chair and down the steps, then transfer him from the stairlift into the wheelchair to get him to the vehicle, so that we can at least go for a ride and get some fresh air.

    The salesman was very nice, informative, and he was all masked up for COVID. He didn't pressure us to purchase anything. We made the decision, and we called and said we were going forth with it. He said because it was a custom order ‘cause it has to wrap around the wall, it took about four and a half weeks. The gentlemen who installed it were very pleasant and they did everything. When they were done, the guy said something to me about putting a spring on the door ‘cause it wrapped around right where the front door is. I didn't know what he was talking about.

    About a week afterwards, I realized that the rail was impeding opening the door all the way, which could be a fire hazard. In an emergency where we would need to evacuate, we would need to get that door to open all the way. I called Stannah and the salesman came out to look at it. Then, they sent out an individual a week later. Unfortunately, he came out by himself and he said that he was not comfortable doing it alone. He would have someone help him, so we set up another appointment. A week later, two guys came out and put a spring on the door. Now, the door opens all the way and it's been working fine.

    We had an issue over the weekend. Our electricity kept popping. I went downstairs to check the circuits and when I was sitting downstairs after I flipped the switch, I saw this white flash and I thought it was coming from the stairlift itself. I got nervous, so I called Stannah on a Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A gentleman called me back. He said he was concerned and that he would come out as it sounded like a safety issue. We are in Enfield, Connecticut it's an hour and 10 minutes or so drive for him on that day. He came and I showed him what I was talking about. As soon as I popped the switch, he realized that it was not the stairlift.

    We had an electrical box on the ceiling and the white flashes were coming from that because he saw that metal was touching the wire box. He was not an electrician, but he didn't want to leave us in a risky situation. He turned the power off and moved the wire. He told us that we could leave the power off until we get an electrician, and we needed to get one sooner than later. He didn't charge us for that visit, which was fantastic. He left and I proceeded to call electricians, and I got it fixed this morning. So, the experience with the Stannah personnel overall has been wonderful. Everyone is very professional, polite, and respectful.

    Stannah sent the person who’d do the estimate to the house. We just love the service, so we put the stairlift right away. The installation team was perfect. The gentlemen explained to me and my father everything and how everything worked. It has two curves and I like that feature. It’s been a big change for my father. That was the best company ever.

    I have a really bad hip. The lady came and she was very thorough. She explained everything and we finished up in one sales call. I'd give her business card for people to call her. The installer knew what he was doing. He was in and out in a short period of time. I like that I don't have to walk upstairs with Stannah Stairlift. It is a little bit narrow, but that's not the stairlift’s fault. It works and we managed to store it where it’s out of the way.

    We had a stairlift before and we purchased it used. We spent 200 bucks on it and we couldn't find anyone to come out and service it at that point. We decided to get a new one. So we shopped multiple vendors and Stannah was the one she picked. The sales rep knew what he was talking about and he was able to answer all the questions. So we were really, really satisfied. One guy did the installation but it went really well. Everything was installed in one afternoon.

    We are very happy with the stairlift. It seems solid. It's doing what it's supposed to do. It had continuous charging up and down the rail, which was one of the issues we had with the previous one. It also had the power footrest, lift, and drop, and that is a very convenient feature for her since bending is an issue. The only thing is that there are only four supports on the stairs, and if it was up to me, I would put two more supports drilled into the stairs just to ensure. But it's not like it's going to pull out of the stairs anytime soon.

    My mom was having problems getting up the stairs so we thought the stairlift would be a good idea. I was there when they installed it and they were very helpful. It was a very simple process. The installer was great. It took him a while, but he was very professional and polite. He wore a mask. He was very independent. He did what he had to do and there was no mess. Then he explained to me in detail how to use it, which was helpful. I would recommend them highly. I like the fact that it turns when you get to the top of the stairs because it makes it easier to get out.

    The night before Valentine's Day, I managed to fall down a very steep flight of stairs and wound up with a broken neck. So, everybody made a decision that I was not gonna climb stairs anymore. I stayed in our first floor apartment where our niece is living while she goes to school. Then I moved back up to the second floor the day after the stairlift was installed. It fits into my new lifestyle very well. I was shown how to use it after they were done. My husband interacted with the installers and found it very satisfactory.

    My favorite feature is that the footrest is exactly the right height. It makes me feel very safe. The stairlift allows me to go down to the first floor and then I can go out on the deck and walk around. It is very slow going up and going down. I wish it was slightly faster. But I do like the fact that when it runs into a dog, it stops. We have four dogs around and none of them has been the least alarmed. If you have need of a chairlift, Stannah is a very good deal.

    My wife has problems walking and we live in a split-level ranch house. It was very difficult for her to go downstairs and upstairs. I did some research about chairlifts and I called a few places and got prices. It seems that other brands are made in other countries and I decided to go with Stannah. I bought a chair and they installed it right away. The person who came to install it was very well-trained, very knowledgeable, and showed us how to use it. We bought it in June and my wife used that chair for a month. Unfortunately, she passed away in July. But we were very happy with the few times that we used the chair to get to the hospital. It was solid and good with well-built instruments. I'm an engineer and I could see that it was a well-put chair. Also, it was very smooth and easy to operate with the platform for the feet.

    I was looking around for a chairlift and I came across the Stannah name. I did a little research and they responded very well to me. Their sales reps were very accommodating and came to the house and talked to me, whereas some of the others just had me describe the situation and never came to the house. I got two straight stairlifts and they fit in nicely in my home. My wife isn't happy with them because she doesn't like the looks, but they're doing fine. When they were installed, the installers did their work promptly and got the job done. They demonstrated how to use it once and I got it right away. So far, my stairlifts are working well and I'm very happy. They do the job and that was what I needed. I feel a little older because I have to use one, but other than that, I have no problem.

    My wife is disabled and she can't climb stairs. I have three stairlifts. One is outside, one goes from the first floor down into the sunken living room, and another goes from the first floor to the second floor. They've been wonderful and the cost is reasonable. But for some reason, I cannot find the two controls that control the outside stairlift.

    The outdoor stairlift is straight. It's only about five or six stairs. The inside one from the first floor down into the living room is three stairs. And the one going upstairs is a double-curve. It curves around from the kitchen to the stairwell, up the stairs and around to a loft. The original installation of that one was a disaster because it was designed wrong and it wouldn't go around the corner. They installed it, tried it, and took it right back out. It took a month for them to get it remade properly. But it works now. I kinda designed things that way so the stairlifts do not get in the way. The only problem is the outside one that’s on the upper end is too high so my wife has a hard time getting into it. The seat is maybe two inches too high. What we have to do is not bring it up all the way then place her into it. It's because she's too short.

    Regarding the stairlifts, I thought my grandchildren would have a lot more fun with them if I don’t. I would recommend Stannah to friends but I would also tell them about the problem that I had with the one stairlift that was designed wrong. But the stairlift came just in time for my wife to come home from the rehab. It was touch-and-go there. Another thing is that the reps didn’t tell me how not to lose the remote controls.

    We have a good experience with our Stannah stairlift. It works okay. My husband is able to move and transfer to the second floor to the first floor. It’s good for him. We got the straight stailift and it fits very well in our home. Its quality is the highest. The installation team was excellent. They showed to my husband how to use it, and he's happy. It was for him because he cannot walk upstairs and downstairs. He cannot use stairs to walk.

    I would like it if it was cheaper. But I paid because my husband needs it. Before Stannah, I invited another company and the cost was twice higher. Then my daughter found Stannah on the internet. Comparing to whatever was estimated before, I was happy with their estimate, and I am happy with this cost.

    Even if it is expensive, I am happy. The stairlift is very useful. If you have a sick person in the family, it’s wonderful.

    I have arthritis, and that makes it difficult in the knees to go up and down steps. I wanted to get a stairlift. The sales visit with Stannah was very good. The rep was excellent. In fact, I purchased a second stairlift, and it wasn't the same representative. But the experiences are very good. I found them informative and they weren't pushy.

    The installers were good, and particularly with the virus because I'm overly protective here. I got indoors stairlifts. They're straight, but one has a retractable track. They’re two different models because they're several years apart. I like the second one better. It has a button that retracts this thing that you would put your feet on and it goes up and it retracts the track. It's simple to use. Stannah's quality is very good. It really helps the pain in my knees. It's pricey, but when you consider your choices and when it's helping you to hopefully do, you just pay what they're asking.

    We've had our Stannah stairlift for a month now, and it's doing the job it's supposed to. So far, it's reliable, so I'm quite pleased with it. There were several companies, and I'd heard about Stannah Stairlifts from some people. I checked the others, though. They're all about the same price but Stannah had at least the reputation that I had tapped into. I dealt with Tony, and he operates out of the Franklin office. We spent some time. He's a nice guy and very explicit and explained a lot of things. My interactions with him worked out very well.

    Our stairlift is fine for the particular setup that we have. It takes a part of the staircase, but not all of it, so we can still come up and down. Those of us who are still walking freely can do that. There will become a time if we move out, moving furniture would be an impediment then. At that point, we're probably required to take it off. But in the meantime, everything is fine. I'm gonna have the annual maintenance checkup. I hope to get a number of years of use out of it.

    My mother had a stroke and she needed a stairlift. I called a couple of places and I talked to that guy from Stannah. I was working with two guys and that guy told me I could lease it. And if I liked it, I could buy it. I just leased it for now. However, I wish I got a stairlift that went around the corner because she really can't get down the stairs. But the other issue is it doesn't lie flat on the top of the stairs. The chair hangs over the stairs. It should be level with the hallway and it's not. I called last week and I asked someone to call me back because I said it doesn't sit right at the top of the stairs. It's not on a flat surface for my mother to get on it. And then, I wish I got one that went around the corner, but I didn't. I got one just to go down the stairs. But from there, there are only three steps but I'm unable to get her down. I got the one that curved.

    Stannah told me someone would call me back. They also said they called the main company and they would have someone from my district area call me back. They took my name, number and information, but nobody ever got back to me. The stairlift has been installed for a month. My mother just used it the first time two weeks ago. She couldn't walk. So, when she has to turn back and sit on the stairs, it's not a practical thing. It's hard for her because she can't get on it easily to go down the stairs because it's not level. I wish the salesperson insisted that I got the one to go down the three steps because she can't do those last ones. Other than that, it's okay. The stairlift itself is nice if it was installed properly and the right one was recommended.

    Thank you Susan for your feedback. It is our understanding that the curved stairlift was not feasible. It is normal to have the chair stop when the footrest is flush with the top stair to prevent tripping and make it easier and safer to get off and on. The chair is made to support up to 350lbs.

    My wife has a knee problem. Stannah was located close by and I was able to visit the showroom. The sales representative was good. I made the call to have someone come over to look, and he did. He knew the product. He explained a lot. I don't grasp that quickly, but he explained it. And then, he gave me two options, I made a decision on one, and then I made the decision to purchase.

    The stairlift fits well there. It's not what I had envisioned because I thought it might go up a little higher and a bit closer to the wall. But we have a railing. Maybe if I were to remove the railing, but I didn't know if that would have any effect. Also, we did not have the outlet in the wall the day that the installers came. I must have misunderstood because I thought they would come and measure, and then come back to install. But they did both of those at the same time.

    Then, I called the office two days later, after the electrician came. They were supposed to cover the wire with some sort of plastic cover. I gave them that message that everything was ready because the installer indicated on the work order that the plastic wasn't done over the plug because the outlet wasn't there. That hasn't been covered yet, even though I called to service. Maybe things went a little faster than I grasped because you have to understand, people who perform these duties on a day in, day out basis know exactly what to look for.

    The other thing was, I had another question on the lift on the bottom. When they go up the steps, they have blocks that go every other step. In my eye, it looks like there is one missing, but it might be that it's not needed there. Also, I understand the chair doesn't do a 45-degree turn. It's maybe 40-degree, so that's okay. But other than that, it's working well.

    We liked the terms of the rental. We are renting the stairlift instead of buying it and it was a cost-effective rental. We love the stairlift. It came just in time as there was an emergency shortly after it was installed. It was very helpful in getting Brian down the stairs and quickly out the door. That was wonderful. The machine works beautifully. The people who installed it were professional. We're very pleased with it. We have wanted two more - one to the basement and when going to the garage. So, we will be an all-Stannah Stairlifts house.

    I did a lot of research and Stannah Stairlifts finally came back, set up an appointment, came in and then did a fashionable, detailed presentation. And the fact that they service them, they’re right around the corner, and great reviews. I also liked the no-pressure from the salesperson. It was an awesome job. The salesperson used the iPad and it was great. He answered every question. It was perfect. My parents ended up going to the showroom at the recommendation of the salesperson just to look and sit on it and do whatever you wanted with it because they had the advantage of living not too far from it. As soon as we called to confirm it, again, they professionally got back to us timely, set up the appointment and then came in and installed the whole thing. There was nothing they could have done better.

    Friends had used Stannah and they were pleased. We opted for it too and because I stay in my room, my husband was the one involved with the purchase and installation process and he was happy with all of that. The stairlift is excellent. It works and it does what I need it to do. I like that it turns so I get in facing one way then it turns to head down the stairs. This has all the features that I want.

    I have a finished basement with a handicap shower and it had the washer dryer. The rest of my house is all on one floor. I thought if I could get a stairlift, I could be independent of my husband having to help me up and down the stairs and I can do some jobs while he wasn’t here. We got a rebuilt stairlift from Stannah. I had a wonderful sales rep. He was a nice young man who went over and above what he had to do. Installers put in the stairlift on a Wednesday and it looks perfect. I had one ride and it was great. I felt safe and it was comfortable. It fit all the criteria of the reason we got the stairlift. But on Thursday, I got rushed to the hospital and have been there ever since.

    I broke my hip and I was not able to get up to my bedroom or to the shower upstairs. I interviewed several different stairlift providers and I liked Stannah. They came up with an idea that none of the others did so I was very pleased with them. Their rep was a very nice man who was very knowledgeable. He did what he needed to do and didn’t make a big deal out of it like some of the others had. I liked him very much. He had self confidence.

    I have the curved stairlift for inside. Two very nice young men came for the installation and they were wonderful. But I wasn’t aware that it was a refurbished stairlift. I don't remember anybody saying that. I even asked my son who was here during the presentation if he remembered that. But it doesn’t make any difference because the stairlift works the same. It seems to work perfectly. The one thing though is when I get to the top of the stairs, I have to be able to turn it around to get off at the landing. I wish that was more automatic because I can see a time when I might not be able to do that. Otherwise, the stairlift is wonderful. Now I can get upstairs and sleep on my own bed. I can also take a shower. The stairlift had a big impact. It was a very good experience and I would recommend Stannah.

    I'm disabled. I can't get up and down the stairs easily by myself so I decided to purchase a stairlift. I went online and I took a look at all of them around. I looked at Stannah's advertising and the stuff that was online about them. They had wonderful things advertised. I fell for all their advertising and decided to put them on. I figured their years of experience backed up my reasons for selecting them. I also figured they would get very experienced installers. That was what I was concerned about along with the reliability, dependability, and endurance of the work.

    When the gentleman came to take a look at our situation and give us an estimate, he was very capable and helpful. The installers were very good. They came and did the thing.

    It's difficult to go up and down the stairs. I was looking for a stairlift that could fold up as much as possible so it would still be possible for other people to come up and down stairs without falling over a chair. The salesperson from Stannah was very nice and very knowledgeable. The installer did a fantastic job. He had clearly done it at least once before. It came out looking really nice. He did show how the stairlift works, too. The only thing is when it gets to the very bottom and that last track folds out and the chair goes over that, the body gets very wobbly.

    I got an indoor stairlift, and I like that I can haul things up and down the stairs that I otherwise would not take with me. I have a way of falling down the stairs. Gravity will always get me while I'm going. But it's much more controlled up and down the stairs, and I enjoy that feature a lot. The stairlift is a big help. I used to go upstairs about every eight days. Now, I go up there all the time. I'm very happy. I'm very content with it. It was a good move.

    We had a particular curved application and they are way more expensive on the straight applications. When I researched it, the curved applications were pretty close to one another. And with Stannah, they install. That was a big factor. Their price includes installation. The salesman who came out measured in a professional manner, and sat down with my wife and myself and ran us through the cost of various things. We ended up installing four stair shares - one from Stannah and three from another company. Stannah was not competitive with the other three. They were competitive with the curved one.

    The installation guys on day one were great except that they forgot to program my remote control. So they had to come back two or three times to get that sorted out, which just happened last week. It's okay now, but it was a little bit of a back and forth. It was a little bit of a hassle. Compared to the other three that I put in, the upper weight limit of the Stannah chair is about 100 pounds less. It's only 250 pounds. Now, for my dad who's using it, he only weighs 220 so we have a 30-pound margin. The other one goes up to 350. So Stannah’s product is a little bit too light as far as the load capacity. Other than that, it’s fine. Stannah makes a good product. It's a quality product. It looks like it's gonna be durable.

    We did research on stairlifts. We had a couple of different companies, Acorn, Stannah, and another come up. With Stannah, they had some options that other companies didn’t have. The biggest seller was the motorized foot rest that would go up. So that way my mother didn’t have to transition, even though the distance was only a couple inches. Still, when she stood up she was on the ground, she would be walking. My mom has MS and neuropathy and a couple different things so that was the biggest seller. I was there for the sales visit and it was professional, courteous and informative.

    The only thing I don’t like is they told me that there were two stairlifts. So the one going into the basement, they told me that to power it, they would run the cord up through the rafters in the basement and go over to an outlet over near the circuit breaker panel. They didn’t do it. They ended up taking a shortcut. The only reason I’m not happy about it is where it’s plugged in, I have to constantly unplug and plug in my work bench light. But who really cares? The stairlift also gets in my way, but it’s for my mother so it makes me happy that she’s safe.

    Our Stannah stairlift does exactly what it should do and it functions properly. It is everything we thought plus a whole lot more. Out of all the ones that I researched, I'm glad that we went with this route. We researched them online and read about the reviews that other people were doing. Then some of the prices were a lot less and you also got what you pay for. When you start spending $10,000, you don’t want a piece of crap that is going to crap out on you, or you do not want to have issues with people doing all kinds of service calls. It boils down to you get what you pay for. Stannah is like the Cadillac, if not Lamborghini, of stairlifts.

    Penelope, the sales rep I dealt with, was awesome. They were spot-on. It came the day they said it would arrive. We got a pre-meeting about it when Penelope explained what was going to happen.

    When Kelly broke her leg in three places, the fire department had a hard time getting her out because they couldn’t bring the stretcher, which wouldn’t go by the stairlift. They had to resort to putting her in the chair and moving her to the stretcher when she got outside, which caused her a good amount of pain. She ended up in the hospital in January and had the same problem. Then, a couple of weeks ago, she took a fall and had the same problem. I don’t know if the chair is too big for the stairs, but when I got it put in, I asked if the fire department was going to be able to get her out. I was told yes. Stannah told me that the legal was 20 inches. However, they should measure a stretcher at the fire department because 20 inches wasn’t even close to being a safe way to get her out.

    It would be nice if the control on the arm had a cover. Mom has Alzheimer’s and because she’s frightened, the first thing she does is reach for that. She can’t reach to the side and reaches right to the top of the arm. She kept holding it and pushing it either way with her fingers so I couldn’t get her up or down. She would make it go up to the point where my sister finally had to go up the step and hold her hand on her lap. Now, we put duct tape over it. On the opposite hand rest is the on and off switch, which we also put duct tape over. Also, when it’s at the top of the stairs and we’re not using it, I have to put an oven mitt over the arm because the light flashes and alarms her. When she comes down the hall, she thinks it’s broken and wants to fix it. Other than that, everything is working all right.

The process was very easy and they made it very simple--came in, explained the whole thing, put in place, right on time with absolutely no problems. The stairlift is easy to use, it works well, and it’s out of the way as it could be. The only thing is that we probably need it for about six weeks. My husband is recovering from surgery so he can’t get up and down the stairs now but he's getting better all the time. The minimum they had was six months’ rental, which is $1,500, and so we had to do that.

    I had an event with nerve damage and I couldn’t walk very well. I was home from rehabilitation, and I had nine steps I needed to do and it was not happening fast enough. So I figured I’d purchase this lift, and then move my progress to my bedroom. I saw what Stannah had to offer and I worked for it. They sent someone out to take a look at the job and talked to me about the product, and they were knowledgeable about it. They were very sociable, too, and it was an interesting experience. The installation took three hours.

    We had a Stannah stairlift before and we purchased another one. In our second purchase, it was the same salesman we had several years ago. The installation crew was in and out in less than an hour. The stairlift is straight and seems to be the better machine and lift. It's for my wife who is disabled. She's able to get upstairs with no problem and to operate the stairlift by herself. I was concerned about her falling backwards down the stairs, but now, the anxiety is removed.

    I wanted a Stannah stairlift to make going up the stairs easier and when I purchased from them, their consultant was good. But the installation went a little longer than what they anticipated. It was supposed to be in four hours but instead, it took about five hours. Other than that, I got the straight model and it fits good in my stairwell. So far, the quality is good, too.

    I have 15 stairs that go down from my kitchen to my basement, and I needed to carry things upstairs like groceries. When I come in with half a dozen bags that are full of heavy items, I can walk okay but I also have arthritis. And then I still have to go over to the sink and then put them all away. So, lugging things up the stairs became a real chore.

    My cousin has had trouble with his legs for years and he has an Acorn. He goes up to his bedroom and he was satisfied with it. I was going to check into Acorn, but a friend of my sister told me that they had the Acorn put in then had to have it taken out. I’ve been to her home and it’s a large house, and she said they were very unhappy with the Acorn. They had put a Stannah in and she told me, “If you’re gonna get one, I recommend the Stannah.” So, I had a Stannah representative come out for the paperwork and then within a week or two, a young guy came and put in the lift. He was alone but he worked hard and he worked all day from 9:00 or 10:00 until 4:00 in the afternoon. Now, having the stairlift is convenient. I’ve also talked about it to other people.

    Our stairlift from Stannah looks like a very high-quality unit. It has got all the safety features, met my expectations when it arrived, and was professionally installed. It was the complete experience as it should be. However, the tube that carries all the weight did not need to have three supports, one at each end and one in the middle, to carry a 95-pound woman up the stairs. So, it has got some extra holes that I didn’t really need. But the book says do it this way, and that’s what they did. So, now, I’ve got more holes to patch up and it is what it is. I got it for my 95-year old mom and it has improved things. So, I've had a very good experience with Stannah.

We were most impressed with showroom and staff (was able to trial a model there). The installation staff were very helpful in explaining the workings. There are cheaper model with competitors but one of the main difference is the brackets are fitted close to the banister which leaves plenty of room for traffic on the stairs.

    I have an elderly parent and she is having more difficulty getting up the stairs. It was getting to a point where we were afraid she was gonna fall so we decided to go with a stairlift. I did research on manufacturers and found that the track that the Bruno chairlift rides on was a little too heavy-duty. Then I saw photographs of the Stannah with the application that I wanted and decided to go with them. I also did a research on them and found that they've been in business for over 100 years. They used to make lifts and escalators in England. They're also local. I'm in Massachusetts and they have a place in Franklin.

    I contacted them and my experience was quick and painless. The woman that I was speaking with was very informative and pleasant. We purchased a used chair, which was a savings of several hundred dollars and I appreciated that very much. She said that the track itself would have to be custom-made because I didn't have a straight staircase. It was done in England and then shipped back to the States. It took four weeks but she tried to put a rush in on a rush order and said that she'll try to get it in in a couple of weeks. But I said that it was fine and the waiting period was reasonable.

    My mom was a little apprehensive when we first put her in the chairlift because she was a little afraid of it, not knowing what was going on. But now, she's like a duck to water. She just sits right in it and goes right up the stairs with no problem. But we had an issue when my brother mistakenly grabbed the platform with the footrest and he manually lifted it up. After that, it wouldn't work so they had a technician come down in a couple of days and he repaired it. There was no charge and I was very happy with that, considering it was our fault.

The salesman was fantastic, and we told them we’re gonna look at other vendors also. But they kept calling and calling, so it turned us off. Stannah has a good rating online and hopefully, they’re truthful. Their salesman was good as well, and even the installer who put it in.

    One thing the salesman didn’t do was offer my mother the automated one. I understand there’s an automated option so one can automate the foot rest and it twists towards the landing. We got a straight-up indoor stairlift, from one floor to the next, and she has to manually move the chair when she gets to the top, from where she’s sitting to the step. She struggles sometimes with that so she had wished that they had mentioned about the automated turner when the sales was being done. Otherwise, she’s fine with it and she can function. Also, the top of the stairs is a little crowded, especially if she leaves the chair up there. But then I could press it and then it’s not a problem.

They gave me a brochure to read over about the operation of the stairs while they were doing the installations.

It was a smaller company and it looked like I would be getting more response from them if we had a problem, just from what people said on the reviews. The saleswoman was great. She came and talked to us, and it was a very tight staircase. My mom had had a bad fall and she’s blind, so we needed to be able to get her up and downstairs because she was moving in with me. The lady measured and said it would work. A few weeks later, they called and it was all made.

    I had carpeting put in and when the installers came, they asked if the carpeting was here when the lady measured. I said no and that I didn't even take that into consideration. He said not to worry and that they could make a few adjustments. They did and it worked. They were fabulous and hard workers. They had the whole thing in in about three hours. The stairlift is easy to operate. My mother being legally blind, it’s hard for her to see or push a button and this is so simple that she’s able to do it herself, which is probably the best thing because if we’re up in the third or fourth floor, or we stepped out, whenever she needed to get up, she could do it herself.

    The quality of the stairlift is very nice, and it’s quiet and nicely-made. It blends in with my décor and it doesn't take up a lot of room when it’s not in use. Stannah Stairlifts was excellent and they were great. The people were professional, thoughtful, patient and showed me and my mother how it works. They also told me to call them if I need anything.

    My Stannah Stairlift has certainly been very good. There are a few times when it goes down, it’s not exactly smooth all the way down. But on the other hand, it certainly is not a cause for concern. It did a lot for helping my sciatica pain because I no longer have to use my left leg to go up the stairs, and that’s where the sciatica problem is.

    It was a straight stairlift, the typical height, the typical number of stairs, and nothing in the way. It was just that the guy should’ve brought up the possibility of a used one on his own without me having to ask. He gave me the price of the new one and that was that. When I asked about a used one, he started checking. He also led me to believe that I could get the stairlift installed in a week, and it took two weeks before he was able to get a crew. It was at the latter part of August, a lot of people were on vacation, and I think that’s what caused the delay. The day he gave me turned out to be the correct date they showed up. But he was gonna try to improve that date somewhat, and he wasn’t able to. Even the representative who was here was pretty angry over that. He talked to the secretary, and then he said he was gonna talk to the boss, and so forth, and so on that they couldn't do better than that.

    The installers knew what they were doing although it took a little longer than I had expected for just a straight installation. They had to make a bunch of adjustments and I think that’s what caused them some problems where they had to look into it and make some changes. The stairlift's a used one and it’s possible that it took them a little longer to straighten it out and make it work right. One little thing I would’ve done was that I could've removed the handrail on the one side and put it closer to the one side, instead of having it out as far as it is although that’s not their fault. That’s just something that occurred to me afterwards. But they did a nice job. The stairlift had very few noises and it operates very much like I expected. I was pleased with the installation. It does the job like it’s supposed to.

Micky, the one who came out to the house, was wonderful and very nice. We knew sometimes you gotta pay a little more to get the better product. So, we have no complaints. I've had no problems with the machine and we’re very satisfied.

    We liked the appearance of the Stannah stairlift and the backing looked like a better product. The seat had a full back. Also, the weight arrangement seemed to be a better and heavier arrangement for us. Not that we’re heavy, but we thought that was a consideration in it. And we liked the all-around design. We read about Stannah in a report. We checked others and we decided on their product. We also received some kind of information, and there was a discount that was included in the advertisement. So, we presented that to the salesman we dealt with. He was very polite and very understanding.

    The installer seemed like an excellent mechanic, knew very well what he was doing, and was also very professional. I have a little problem with the product though, and we were just thinking about calling. It’s fine, but the seat doesn’t seem to stay up when it’s not in active position. It keeps flapping down so that it doesn’t stay in an up position. You try to put it up and once in a while, it works, but once in a while, it doesn’t. It makes it a little difficult to go downstairs with the seat. We have to hold on to it and put it back or try to put it back. And if it was staying up, it would be much more beneficial. Other than that, we were very pleased with the service, with the installation, and how the unit actually works.

    We got a straight stairlift from Stannah and the installation was fine. The installers worked hard. It was a very hot day and they were sweating. I gave them water and cookies and things like that to keep them going. They did take out all the old stuff. They didn’t leave any of the materials from the old one or any of the packing boxes for the new one. It was just we were concerned the stairs were left in a very bad condition, clean-wise. The installers asked me at some point for that little vacuum. I gave it to them. I as well gave them a dustpan and a brush.

    The stairs are not marble. They’re terrazzo. So, unfortunately, they had to put holes in the terrazzo for the first time. 17 years ago, they couldn’t put the holes in the same spot. They left it very messy with little pieces. But I did tell that to the man who came a couple of days later to see how the job looked. Other than that, everything has gone very well with Stannah. The stairlift seems to be working very nicely and we’re very happy with it. We’re hoping that it will have the same quality of life that the first stairlift we had for 17 years.

    I have a straight stairlift installed by Stannah. The installation team was fine but the guy screwed the call button, which is the button that I push in order for the lift to come to me, right into the wall in a place he didn’t ask me where I wanted it. He shouldn’t have done that without asking me and it’s awful there because I have paintings up there. Anyway, he took it right down but I now have two holes to fill with stuff that would fill the holes. Also, I still don’t know why the stairlift can’t be made even or of what I think it should be. When I get out of the stairlift at the bottom of the stairs, the drop for my feet to get onto the floor below it is not what I'm comfortable with. I don’t have a full place to put my two feet so I have to land on my tippy-toes before I put the pressure on my whole foot. I already talked with Dough and he should have gotten on it last weekend. He said he was going to get back to me but I have not heard from him.

    I've known about Stannah Stairlifts for quite a while and I learned that my neighbor got a couple. I figured that if it was good enough for him, it was good enough for me. I bought a straight stairlift that has a retractable foot on it. The representative who came was very thorough and cooperative. Also, the installer was very thorough, quiet, cooperative and cleaned up after himself. I've had the stairlift a couple of weeks and had to have the track extended on the upstairs side to get the lift high enough so I could get out comfortably.

    My brother and I are renting a Stannah stairlift on a six-month plan for our mom. The cost of renting was just about reasonable. They told me what I had to do on my end, so I had it ready for them. I put an outlet in the bottom of the stairs and adjusted the bottom platform. The installers just had to put the straight stairlift in at that point, which worked out good. We've had it for a month and it has good quality. There are some technical things that elderly people have a problem with. The seat has to be clicked all the way right or the left or the machine doesn't go, and my mom is trying to adjust to it. Also, it'd be good if the seat had tilt, but that would just be more technology for them to learn.

    Thank you for your honest feedback. The Stannah stairlift for straight stairs with manual swivel is designed to remain stationary until the seat front is aligned with the footrest to prevent an inadvertent start and ensure a safe ride. An optional powered swivel is available as an add-on feature that can make turning, storing and calling the chair easier. For safety, our seats are slightly tilted toward the rear. We recommend ensuring your mother is seated as far back in the seat as possible for good measure. If you have additional questions or concerns, please reach out to us at: 1-888-272-4327.

    My mother can't get up our stairs anymore. We've seen the different advertisements on TV and in the newspaper about Stannah Stairlifts. I also made a few inquiries about it and the price, which was pretty good. And the plan they had was fine. So, we decided to purchase from them. Their sales rep was informative about everything and we ended up getting the straight stairlift. Any stairway was gonna be kind of thin when we'd be trying to walk up around it but the one that we got suits its purpose. I wish it was moved over a little bit, but you have to leave some room in the back. When it was installed, they finished in about four hours and and it went in smoothly. The railing had to be fastened and screwed into the stairs, then they put the chair in. It goes on the lift and they installed that, too. It has two remotes, one downstairs and one upstairs.

    All in all, it's been a great experience and I can't say enough good things about the stairlift. We had a little problem the first couple of days with it, but they came right out and adjusted it. Before, my mother could make it up the fourth step, but she couldn't make it up the fifth and sixth. But now, she can. Anybody who needs something like this should keep one in their home.

    My mother is 87 years old. She had a fall and had multiple fractures so navigating the stairs was somewhat difficult for her. She has somewhat recovered, but the Stannah Stairlift is a big help for her. The sales representative was great. I had an appointment with him, he came by, met me, and had a quick and thorough estimate. The estimate was what was charged, and that all went well.

    The installation was good, but it wasn't as timely as I would have liked. My mother was in rehab and I had to leave work to be there when it was being installed. We were given a window which I thought was the installation window, but it was, the two-hour window for when the installer was going to arrive. The guy didn't arrive until 11:15 and then it took him another 20 minutes to park. So, he really didn't install the unit until 11:35. The installation took a few hours but things went okay. But what I thought was gonna be a couple hour installation and maybe lose a half a day work ended up losing the whole day of work, which was really difficult. But other than that, everything else was great.

He was very thorough with also giving us instructions on who to call if we had an issue. Everything was efficient.

    Now, having the stairlift has actually helped quite a bit. My husband understands how to make it go up and down, and if it doesn’t, it makes a loud noise, so he’s working with it. It’s easier for him to get up and down the stairs, which he wants to continue doing, and it’s been great.

Go and put it in.” The man really knew enough to be able to talk us, my husband mostly, through what he was doing. My husband is a very handy man and so he was impressed with how the fellow explained things and how he did things. We had an old stairlift that we had bought third-hand about 30 years ago and it finally died a natural death. They removed it for us and gave us a week to be able to remove the carpet from the stairs and restain them before they came in and put the new straight stairlift in.

    Oftentimes, we can walk down the stairs when we get up in the morning. And naturally, we don’t wanna give up doing that all the time if we can help it.

    I would like to start out by saying, Our Salesperson, Michelle, was simply wonderful. Stannah Stairlifts should be proud of this employee as she represents your company in the highest standard. Her work ethic is top notch. Here is my experience. My mother is 85 years old, my father has passed and was a retired Boston Police Officer. I come from a family of 7 kids. My mother and father bought our house in West Roxbury, MA. in 1961. She has lived in this house and raised 7 children since 1961. Lots of memories in this house for a parent 85 years old. I know she loves this house. What started to happen this past year, is she really began to struggle getting up the stairs. We have 10 stairs that get you to the second floor. My mother was getting so winded by the 6 stair and by the time she got to the 10th stair she was totally exhausted.

    I knew we needed to do something. I never saw her struggle that bad. I feared she would have a heart attack or injure herself. We either needed to sell the house, move her into assisted living or invest in the Chairlift. We started to look into the Chairlift as that's what my mother wanted us to do. I had Acorn come out to the house and I had Stannah come out to the house. Michelle was the salesperson that came out. She was simply wonderful. She went over everything. She explained everything in detail. You could see she believes in the product, which made me believe in the product. The more she presented everything, the more I realized Stannah has the best product. Stannah is far better than Acorn. Stannah has the better chair, the better safety features, the better warranty and the far better customer service.

    I took a ride to their showroom and once I saw the chair in real life, that sealed the deal for me. I saw how sturdy it was, I saw how easy it is to operate but you can feel its good quality. I sat in the chair and used it on their makeshift staircases and it was simply wonderful. It was comfortable but yet sturdy and so easy to operate. I went home and told my mother, "We need to get this chair. You will not find a better chair than Stannah." We had it installed this past Tuesday and my mother loves it. We could not be happier. My mother could not be happier. She no longer has to struggle up 10 flights of stairs. We are up the stairs in no more than 15 seconds opposed to her walking the stairs, which took her 25 minutes to get up and down the stairs. This is worth every penny! She has far more energy now.

    When she had to walk those stairs it drained all of her energy, she was just totally exhausted. What a turnaround, she has more energy and more color in her skin. Thank you Michelle for your hard work, for your believe in your product, for your wonderful presentation as I believe if it wasn't for you, I probably would never have bought this. This is the best investment in my mothers care. What a rewarding feeling you must get knowing you played a role in helping an elderly person stay in their home. I know my father is looking down from heaven smiling, knowing his wife can stay in the home that she has been in for over 50 years, And a home that she loves to be in.

    Thank You Michelle! Thank You for your outstanding customer Service. Thank You Stannah for putting out a wonderful product. I believe Stannah Stairlifts is simply the best Chairlift out there. My mother loves it! Very happy we invested in this product. I believe my mother will be able to live in her house for many more years, because of this Chairlift. Highly Recommend. Also, wanted to give a shoutout to the installing, he was wonderful as well. Nancy **, West Roxbury, MA.

    We had my mother coming for a few weeks this summer to the beach house and she is unable to manage stairs, so we needed to go from the first floor to the second floor bedroom. We had the curved stairlift installed and the quality seems great. The person on the phone from Stannah Stairlifts was very nice, knowledgeable and pleasant. During the sales visit, the person who came to do the measurements was also very nice. He wrote the contract. The installation team was excellent and amazing.

    During the sales visit, there were two main parts. The first part was Stannah sent somebody out to do an assessment. The second part was they showed up and did the installation. The installation guy was great, and they were pretty forthcoming about everything. But the first guy they sent out for the assessment didn't go into detail enough as far as the things that needed to happen for this. He was supposed to make me ready for the guys that would come to install, and he should have known where the electricity was. It's an outdoor stairlift and when the guy showed up to install it, there was no hole for the electricity to come out because I wasn’t told to do that. And so, they had to come back a second time. I needed to drill a hole in the house so electricity could come outside where the stairlift is. That caused a delay in the installation. Overall though, the quality of the stairlift seems fine.

It is our standard procedure to advise about this so thank you for bringing it to our attention. We're working to make sure this is not repeated.

    My wife had a stroke and needed to get back-and-forth from one floor to the next and get up. I'd seen Stannah advertised on television and it seemed that they do a good job, and so I looked at their work and to me, they did a job that I expected. The rep did what she told me she would do and I had a good experience with her. I have both a curved and straight stairlift, and the first installation was done in a day. The second one took some time because they had to take different measurements and then put it together. Overall my wife is enjoying the stairlifts. The good thing about it is they have a warranty on it and there is a buyback program, just in case I don’t need it anymore. I highly recommend them.

    We purchased a stairlift for my mother and when she had looked at pictures, Stannah was the one she liked better. Theirs has a button where you push it and something happens. You don’t have to do it manually. It’s in the house and it’s straight ‘cause we go straight up the stairs. It works fine, though if they could improve one thing, it would be to have a mechanical twist. When you’re in the chair and you get to the top, you have to turn the chair manually. If you could do that electronically, that would be great. It was also a bit more expensive than the other one, but we went with it because it also holds heavier weight.

    I have Parkinson's and although I could go up the stairs, I am having trouble coming down. Stannah's chair is ideal and I like the fact that they specialized in the chairlift. A sales rep came and he was a real gentleman. He explained the chair and it proved to be what he said. We have the straight type and it's perfect for my chairs.

    I liked the functionality of the Stannah Stairlift and how it had the features that I most wanted. Initially, I contacted Stannah through their website but then nobody answered me. I was persistent so I called and someone scheduled an appointment with me. But then, no one arrived and so I called again. That appointment was made during off hours and somehow it didn't get passed along to the salesperson. I made them aware that I took time off from work and they sent someone pretty quickly. Up until the installation, everything was not great. Though the sales rep was great and she came with the information, she never followed up with me. Nobody wants to be harassed by a salesperson but a follow-up call would have been helpful. It seemed like they didn't need my business.

    When the it came time when we really needed the stairlift, my mother and I drove out to a center we have locally so my mother could see Stannah's stairlifts. We decided to go with the model we wound up with because of the various features. Also, the installation person was patient. He was excellent and spent a lot of time with my mother who is 91 and was not too swift on understanding. Overall, the quality of the stairlift is excellent but then it's just too complicated. There's a lot of steps to using. Instead, I should be able to turn it off, get on it and then turn it back on.

He was fantastic and he was the reason why I went ahead and purchased the straight stairlift. The installation was seamless and was completed in five hours. The installer gave a demo of how it worked to make sure I was comfortable and I knew exactly how to do it. He made me sit in it and go up on it.

    My husband has brain cancer and he has a problem going up the stairs. I rented two of the straight type stairlift from Stannah and they fit well at home. It gets my husband up and down the stairs. But the other day, it stopped working. I called customer support and the rep was not helpful at all. She didn't know the answers to any of the questions that I needed. She basically told me that I had to wait 24 to 48 hours. I asked her what I should do in the meantime with my husband and she told me to call 911. But that was the reason why I bought the stairs so I wouldn't have to call 911. The next day, the service guy wanted to charge me $250 and I told him I was not gonna pay him that. I was really upset and he got why I was so upset so he didn't charge me.

    Stannah's customer service is horrible. I was crying seeing my husband uncomfortable on the chair and the personnel didn't care at all. It's very important for the customer service people to be aware that the people are renting it has handicapped conditions instead of telling them to wait. I would not recommend Stannah to anybody.

    Hi Rossy,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry for the inconvenience you experienced due to your stairlift’s inoperability. Our records indicate that you called outside of our normal business hours and spoke with our answering service, who are not able to troubleshoot stairlift issues at this time (Stannah employees can help troubleshoot issues during regular business hours). Our weekend service hours are 9am-3pm, and we make every effort to respond as quickly as possible to requests for emergency service. In your case, we were able to come the next day.

    Stairlift service outside of our normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) is not covered in our warranty, leading our service technician to initially charge our weekend service rate. However, when he realized the nature of your issue, he promptly waived all fees.

    We have investigated your case and determined it was unrepresentative of our normal workmanship. We apologize for this error and can assure you this is not and will not become a common occurrence. We are confident that your stairlift will serve you well going forward and we hope that your opinion of us improves over time. We truly apologize for this inconvenience and look forward to providing you with quality service for years to come.

    I had compared Stannah with Acorn and thought that it was a better deal for the dollar to go with the Stannah even though it was a couple of dollars more expensive. The benefits of doing business with them were worth the difference in the price and the quality, and how it looked and operated. Their sales rep was very good and he explained everything well. When I decided that I was gonna go with them, I tagged along with him, watching how they do the measurements with the computer.

    The only thing was, he said they were gonna have to put an electric wire to the charger so that the track will be able to charge at the top and the bottom and since they don’t drill holes, I would have to do it. So I asked where would I have to drill the hole, and he took me on the stair and pointed where to put it. That was right in the middle of the track, the total length of the track, and I said okay. He said that the wire would go into my closet and run out the other side of the closet. Another hole would have to be put there and the wire would be plugged in the utility room, so I drilled two holes.

    However, when the fellows came to do the installation, they asked me why I was told to put a hole there and was told that was a stupid place to put the hole. The guy then said he would drill a hole for me and would put it down at the bottom and I won’t be able to see it. He also said that it would work much better than running it from the middle of the track. It should be on either one end or the other. I ended up with a hole in my woodwork that I didn’t need. Other than that, it all came out very well. The installers were great and they gave me a lot of pointers on how to use the stairlift.

    We got a curved one that does a hairpin turn halfway down and it is of good quality. Everything on it is well thought out and well-planned. It is convenient for being able to spin around and to get in it safely. I like the idea of the foot platform coming down electronically. The Acorn didn’t have that. You had to manually lift or push up that footrest at the bottom of the chair. On this Stannah, you push a button and it just pops up and down. It works very well. Plus it’s great how the stairlift fits into our home. When I’ve got it folded up, it’s out of the way and there’s plenty of room for people to go up and down the stairs. I hadn’t gone up and down the stairs for quite some time because it was so difficult, but since I had the chair put in, I go up and down two or three times a day now to do things down there or get things.

    And when we go food shopping, we bring our big grocery in through the garage and my wife loads it on the chair. I set up the top and bring the chair up remotely like a dumbwaiter, and it helps us carry the errands up and down the stairs that we had so much trouble doing before. We’re both 76 years old, so we don’t run up and down the stairs like we used to. We let the chair do some of the work and it works out very well. My wife likes that. I would definitely recommend Stannah. They were very good to do business with.

    My husband has heart issues and couldn’t get up the stairs to get into his bed. Our stairway is curved, very narrow and steep. It used to be a spiral staircase and the people that owned the house before took the spiral out and built a non-conforming set of stairs. It’s tough to walk up those stairs, even without handicap. Stannah Stairlifts was the only one that could get a stairlift in that stairway. All the others said they couldn’t do it.

    The first to visit was a woman. She came and explained about the stairlift, the company and the people. Then she came back again when we’d decided and she measured the stairway. Then we waited to have it built. No one else could fit our stairway and Stannah had to engineer the stairlift inch by inch. And then they came and installed it. And after the installation, they provided service. They stand by their products.

    The installation team was great. They explained things and went over things. I'm very satisfied with how it came out. Unfortunately, it was the most expensive out of all the stairlifts that came to our house. The stairlift has good quality. But it doesn’t ride smooth and it’s a little bumpy. They explained because of the steepness that's the way it is. However, I like that it has a remote. If the stairlift is at the bottom and my husband wants it at the top, he has the remote to bring it up and vice-versa. We have two remotes.

He has since gone out of business. Without him there is no warranty. Nowhere in the manual he left, any online manuals that I can find, or in any of the Stannah literature can I find any instructions as to how or where to lubricate the lifts. Stannah referred me an elevator company, which wants 150 dollars per lift. Ridiculous! Can someone help me?

    Stannah Stairlifts is completely amazing, awesome, outstanding, and every positive word you could create in the English language. Three years ago, I had too much from Acorn Stairlift. They said they didn’t have a product that could be used on our stairs. That week, there was an ad in the Newton TAB for $200 off. I looked up online and saw that Stannah is a very old company. I figured I’d look up and see what the Google reviews were, and they were all very good.

    When the presenter came to the house, he knew exactly what we would need. He was prepared that it was a straight-up staircase, and he didn’t try to sell me the bargain basement or the ultra filling models. He knew what the neighborhood wanted and that they had six months rent with option to buy, and nothing is taken off from the amount that you rent. They really saw through everything.

    The install was wonderful. The man worked independently. He cleaned up after himself. Whatever little things went on, he was very pleasant to deal with. He was efficient and got it done quickly. I had asked him to put the buttons in a specific place and it turned out he wasn’t supposed to, but he did it because I asked him. I also could see originally why he didn’t wanna put them there. They needed to be lower. So, I had to call back. Stannah sent another workman the next day to correct the mistake that I made.

    I like the automatic buttons. You push a button and the footrest comes down. You push a button and the stairlift goes down. You push a button and the stairlift goes up. I also like the fact that it’s motorized and very quiet. The seat is so comfortable and so safe. My husband uses it many times every day and we absolutely love it. I’ve already told about several friends about Stannah.

    We have a staircase with six steps. My mother-in-law is on a walker and she can’t do any steps on her own. Her bedroom and bathroom are downstairs, and being the main floor has the kitchen, she needed a staircase to get up and down. The stairlift makes it possible for her to be in the house by herself. Stannah had a good writeup when we googled it. The people who bought it said they were satisfied, didn’t have any problems with it, and Stannah's customer service was good.

    Everybody at sales was good. When I went into the store to look at stairlifts, the woman who showed them to us was excellent. The guy who came to my house to talk to me about it was excellent as well. And the guy who came to install it was excellent. I've had no problems. But the cost is high. Fortunately, my mother-in-law came up with money for it.

    At the bottom of the stairs, it was a little close and we were hoping that we could’ve had the stairlift angled so that it would’ve made a little bit of a turn. We were told that to get that turn made, it would be a special order, and it would be approximately another $5,000 to make it turn the corner. That’s a bit much, but it suits my purpose.

    We have a summer place and my sister was having an issue going to the lower level where our washer and dryer is. We decided to purchase a stairlift and that time, I talked to someone who purchased from Stannah Stairlift 22 years ago. He couldn't have raved more about Stannah so I decided to buy one from them. I called and booked an appointment for someone to come out to measure and the person who came, Michelle, explained everything. I gave her a deposit of $3,300 because our stairwell has a curvature and the cost was gonna be 13,300. She said it’d take two or three weeks to get the stairlift.

    Some time thereafter, two techs, Eric and Joe, and installed the stairlift. They were here for approximately two and a half hours and they realized there was a measuring issue that Michelle hadn’t taken into consideration. It was a ceiling that came over a banister, and when the chair would go up, your head would’ve hit it. So, they had to remove everything. Michelle returned to remeasure and said that normally, such mistakes don't happen.

    Their installers came again to reinstall a new, custom-made stairlift. They were at my place approximately four hours but then one of the technicians had to leave because he had another assignment. Ryan, the remaining tech worked around the problem that they came upon that second time around. He made a few calls and talked to someone. He finally got the chair to move. He then went over everything and we paid him the balance.

    After the chairlift had been installed for 18 days, the power went off on the arm thing that makes the chair move up and down the stairs. I called Stannah late in the afternoon on a Saturday and explained my issue to their rep LaTasha. She explained that their Monday was already booked and if their tech comes out on a weekend, a service charge had to be paid. We said we would pay whatever that charge was. She then said that we would be hearing from the tech shortly. Several hours later, we heard from Ryan once again. He said that he would be available that Sunday but also he couldn't promise that he would be the tech who would come out on that Monday. Ryan also said that he would call his boss to find out what I have to agree to before he would come and that he would tell me the amount I have to pay.

    Ryan called back and I told him something about the stairlift being under warranty. He explained how the service I was requesting wasn't under the warranty. He said that usually, my item would be under warranty but then a service call on a Sunday wasn't covered. We've only had the stairlift for 18 days and we were delayed a full month because of Michelle measuring incorrectly and it didn't seem fair that we had to pay $225.

    Ryan arrived around 2 o'clock, the time he was expected to. He said that it wasn't the same issue that arose when he installed. The most recent problem was a computer board that needed to be replaced whereas the initial problem was something under the seat. I asked Ryan whether the chair I had was used. He said it wasn't but then I thought that when they had to take the everything back, it was probably tossed around in the truck and something went out of whack. The chair I have is probably more fragile than I know. Still, Ryan got the chair running and it has been running since. It has been wonderful.

He couldn't walk up and down the stairs so we decided to purchase a stairlift as it was less expensive to get one than to put him in a nursing home or assisted living. I saw a $200 coupon in the paper for a Stannah stairlift and found that they had a good reputation so I went with them. The rep who helped us was very precise. She not only gave me the discount on the coupon but she gave me another one as well. We wound up getting a curved stairlift and the installation team who came was A1. Everything was well-measured and done.

    Another thing I liked with Stannah is that I put 25% on the downpayment and then, a month after it’s installed, they gave me five months to pay it off. I like that method because it's doable for us whereas it wouldn't be if it were a lump sum. Since getting the stairlift, we've been loving it. I've used it myself to try and make sure that everything works fine. My friend Joe loves it too. He went out for the first time in two months yesterday and he was able to do that.

    I have mobility issues and I have trouble going up and down the stairs. I decided to get a stairlift and so we interviewed three companies. All three salesmen for each of the companies were good but then we liked the bells and whistles we could get with Stannah which included a swiveling seat and an automatically raising and dropping floor step. Though their product wasn't the cheapest, they had the best product with the best features. We had them install 2 straight stairlifts in our home. Their techs were here for quite a while and they did a good job. The Stannah Stairlift has been easy to use and it has liberated me such that I can go up and down whenever I want.

    We were getting a stairlift for my Mother. She’s 91 years old and she's having trouble going up and down the stairs. We looked at three different stairlift companies. One of the company didn't have a showroom and Stannah did. We went to their showroom and they had all three stairlifts there. We got the chance to compare them and we liked Stannah's. We didn't even bother going to the third company anymore because they only had their lift and we couldn't compare with the other ones.

    My mother liked Stannah's footrest compared to the other company. On top of that, they also had a second-hand unit in stock, so all we had to do was to buy the new track, and we got the second-hand unit for a couple of bucks less. Also, their rep was very understanding of my mother's concerns and she addressed them. She was very professional as far as taking all the measurements and doing things. My mother felt very comfortable with the whole thing. And the installation went smoothly.

    In the first couple of times my mother used the Stannah stairlift, she thought it was great, comfortable and relaxing. Then about three days after the installation, I got a panic call from my mother. She was stuck on the stairs and the lift wouldn't come down. I went over there, but by the time I got there, she had crawled out of the lift and got down the stairs. She discovered that the curtain was stuck in the rack. During the installation, we took that curtain down so it wouldn't be in the installer's way. It wasn't really his fault. So we just backed the stairlift up with nobody in the chair, took the curtain out, and we thumbtacked it up against the window until we could shorten it. That cured the problem. She was a little concerned when it got stuck because that was one of her fears. But she has been reassured and she’s happy with it again. She’s also trying to talk her neighbor into getting it.

    When we had our Stannah stairlift installed, the installers were timely. They showed up when they were supposed to, did a quick installation and were available to assist me with any need. They also gave me a hands-on demo and said if I needed to, I can call them. When they saw that I had an issue, although I didn't, they addressed it immediately. I would recommend though that when it goes to the top of the stairs, it should go further so a person getting off the chair should not feel them right at the edge of the step. When it pivots around, it should pivot a little bit more. The top of the steps is important and that would be helpful. Other than that, it's an excellent product. I have an elderly mother who needed to use the stairlift also, so the remote controls are a tremendous benefit.

    Response from Stannah Stairlifts

    Hi Hal. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we appreciate it. I see that you purchased a straight stairlift. As a safety measure, our straight stairlift rails are designed to end at the top of the stairs at a distance that ensures there is no gap between the footrest and the top stairs. Our curved stairlift, on the other hand, can be engineered to extend past the last stair at the top. The chair also does not swivel a complete 90 degrees to prevent a the rider's arm from being trapped between a wall and the chair. We're glad to hear you are otherwise satisfied with your stairlift.

    The installation team of Stannah were very nice and polite. They were in and out. The installation went very fast and they cleaned up. They tested it, and it seemed to be fine. There was no issue with anything. We didn't have to take anything off the walls or anything like that. The installer said we have wider steps than most people, so he said that was really perfect for putting it in. It left enough room if somebody wants to walk up on the other side. I think my mother in-law will enjoy it once she gets out of the rehab.

    We need a stairlift to live in our house. Our bathroom and bedroom are upstairs. We really felt that Stannah was a better product and they had better service. Our sales rep was terrific. He was really careful and he explained everything. He answered any questions we had and was available by phone. We got the Siena model which is the curved one. The installers were calm and friendly. They explained everything really carefully. There was no disruption about it. It was fine. With the stairlift, we don’t need to walk on a ton of stairs which is risky for us at this point. The stairlift is great. It's a little bumpy when it goes around the curve and the rail is kinda ugly but it works.

    I looked on the internet and Stannah Stairlifts seemed to have the best reputation. My husband was in the hospital at the time and when I called, they were there within two days. I called on a Tuesday and the reps were there within two days. Then, I asked if they could put it in right away and they were able to come. They came on Thursday and put it in the following Monday. Two gentlemen came and they were here for a couple of hours. One was an intern and the other gentleman was explaining everything to him. They also explained and showed us everything. They answered any questions that we had.

    The stair lift is at the top of the stairs and because of that, we don’t have the wraparound. So, the chair is sitting above the top step or above the second step. My husband is getting a little difficulty getting into the chair though because he is handicapped so, I was gonna call them to find out if they can move it up a little bit further. My husband doesn't have the confidence yet getting into it because he can't see it. So, when he's sitting down, it's a leap of faith. But the stairlift has been great and from what I’ve heard, what we got is better than what some other people had with Acorn or some of those other places. We like it and we would recommend Stannah.

    We checked another provider first because it does more advertising in the publications that we look at. But they could not put the stairlift in so we checked with Stannah. They were actually recommended by the first company and Tony was absolutely spectacular. He's a larger than life kind of a personality. He's also very efficient and we felt comfortable with him right from the very beginning.

    The house is an old one and the stairway is very narrow. We had to pull out a molding of the door going upstairs and we had to put an electrical outlet that was convenient. But those were the only modifications that we had to make for the stairlift. It's curved and indoors, and in terms of installation, everything was excellent. They said they were coming at 10:00 and they were here at 10:15. They were also very neat and efficient. They had the schematic for how it was gonna go, and it was perfect. They explained everything to us and they ran it through with us before they left. The stairlift is very smooth and easy to operate. It's also a lot faster than I expected it was gonna be, not that it was speedy fast but I expected it to kinda lumber up the stairs and it doesn’t. I even recommended Stannah to a cousin of mine.

    The salesperson from Stannah seemed a little bit more with the stairlift. He knew a little bit about the history, that they were European. I had been looking into elevators and people don't seem to think you want an elevator in a residential home. And I just wasn't having much luck with getting that done. So, went to Stannah which was easier though not as attractive. The stairlifts are not things of beauty but they serve a purpose, and that's what we had to go with. I would never choose to have one if I had a choice, but I didn't. We couldn't get the elevator and this was the only substitute that we were aware of.

    We have one that we bought about two and a half years ago which is the curved one and it's much more heavy duty. Then my husband had difficulty getting around so we put in the second one which is a straight lift. We bought the first stairlift with Laser Assistance and that went extremely well and was very specific. However, I'm not at all comfortable with the one that we had on the straight lift. I don't have a real good reason to bring them back, but it seems to go slower and I didn't get the feeling that the people that installed it were as sharp as the previous ones. The installation just wasn't as smooth as the first time.

    But the sales team was very pleasant. I didn't think they were lacking in anything. They had probably worked in a physical sense before they became salespeople. They put the lifts in at one point and had graduated to a sales position. Having the Stannah stairlifts, we're able to get up and down the stairs without much trouble and that's what we wanted. The stairlifts are accomplishing that. It's one of those things where it's a solution to a problem that doesn't have a lot of solutions.

    I've had a stairlift for my wife for years when I was in New Hampshire. I had both of my knees replaced and I got to the point where I'm in a house with 12 steps going down to the basement and it got rough going up and down. I got the Stannah stairlift to make it much easier to get up and down those steps. I had quotes from Stannah's competitors and they were outrageous. When I found that I could get a used stairlift from Stannah with the warranty on it, I decided to go with them. My daughter and son-in-law said the same thing.

    The salesman that I got the stairlift from was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. I was also told when the installers would be here. Both of the installers were very nice, knowledgeable, and pleasant. They were here on time and they never wasted any of that time to install the stairlift. They were at it the whole time until the job was completely finished.

    The only thing was when they installed the stairlift, they were going to give a wrench for the machine which, in case it stalls, I could crank it up. They showed me where it went and how to use it. But at the end, that never happened so I'm still waiting. I called the salesman that I bought the stairlift from and he said that he would be in contact with the installers for them to come back but I haven't heard from them since. It's been two months since we talked. I understand there's an inspection coming up in six months. Maybe they thought at that time that that's what would happen then. But I think the wrench was just an oversight that they just forgot about.

    I had the curved stairlift installed. It's nice and quiet. I really enjoy it. My daughter and my son-in-law couldn't believe the way it goes down. It goes down to a certain point then makes it curve then goes down the rest of the way. It's a good product so I'm really pleased with it. The key thing that I really liked was how it completely fits in the narrow hallway. It takes up the whole space which is nice. It's just easy to get on and off the stairlift which I really enjoy. It fits right up to my basement door. The installers put a lock on it so that if by accident I got my leg in between the door and the stairlift, the door would open automatic. That was a good safety feature. It was one thing that I hadn't counted on and had not seen before. I would recommend Stannah to anybody that would like to see it and try it. I think they'd be well pleased with it.

    I have increasing mobility issues, especially with stairs, and Stannah convinced us that they had a good product. Somebody came twice, showed us what the stairchair would look like, and gave us an estimate, and then we spoke with other providers. Stannah came back, gave us options that were a little cheaper, including a refurbished chair, and we chose that. After the salesperson made his proposal and we’d accepted, we got a call from Stannah. They wanted to impress upon us that the staircase is quite narrow and that they wanted to make sure that it would all work, which it had so far. When the installers came, we welcomed them and showed them where the stairchair was going to go, and then we had some appointments we had to get to and we were out of the house, so they were working on their own most of the time.

    We came home to a clean house and we have no complaints. Our stair goes up to a curve, so it ends up going up straight for most of the stairway and it curves to the right. It functions as advertised. We just had to get used to it for a bit. For example, if you leave it in a situation where it isn't exactly ready to go, if you're on the bottom of the stairs and at the top of the stairs it's not set up right, then you can't retrieve it. So, we just have to learn what those situations were. We've had it for three weeks and we're well used to it. We would definitely recommend Stannah to our friends.

    Our records indicate you have had the powered footrest serviced on 3 occasions. To prevent injury to the user, the powered footrest is designed with a stop mechanism if an obstruction is detected. To eliminate this as a factor that could hinder operation of your stairlift we recommend ensuring there is no weight on the footrest and nothing is in it’s pathway when pressing the footrest button. If you have any questions or concerns regarding safe operation of your stairlift do not hesitate to consult your user manual or call your Stannah dealer.

    As a reminder, the Stannah warranty is void if a stairlift has been serviced, repaired, or modified by anyone other than our authorized technicians or has been subjected to negligence, misuse, or lack of maintenance. If you have any questions regarding this warranty you may reach out to your Stannah dealer for clarification.

He was treating the stairlift that way at first. Now, he doesn’t have a problem. He can go in, sit down, he knows how to make the little platform go up and down so he can get close enough with it in the upright position, so that he can get on the chair, push the button, make the stand go down for his feet. He also zips up with a big smile and he has a rollator waiting for him to go to the bedroom. So, it’s wonderful.

    I can’t walk very far so I needed a stairlift to exit the house to go to the doctor’s. I had Stannah for my wife about six years ago and it worked well then, so I went back to them. I called them up, ordered the stairlift and sent a check in. I had a straight one installed and it fits into our home just fine. However, with only one arm available, it was hard for me to get into it. I had to do an adaptation on a railing so I can get into it better.

    The only thing is, the installation went very poorly. The holes in the wall were there before and, six years ago, I saw it only took a few hours to install. This time, the guy took all day. He refused to do certain things because he said the door was too close. We had to call his supervisor to get that changed. The installer did those things eventually because his boss told him to, and it was installed fine but it took eight hours and arguments. It was not a pleasant installation. Whereas in the past, when I dealt with Stannah, everything was fine. Still, I would recommend them. But I would hope they wouldn’t send out the same installer.

    My husband is in his 80s. He had a fall and the physical therapy practice gave us the name Stannah to go with. The sales people and the reps we worked with were very lovely. We have rented two straight ones for the basement. While my husband doesn't like it at all because he'd rather be walking, I wasn’t going to take any chances. Besides, he does use it to go down the stairs so he can take a shower. He also uses it when we have to go outside or when he's tired. Other than that, the quality of the chair is very good, Stannah Stairlifts is terrific and I highly recommend them.

    Since having the Stannah stairlift installed, my husband can go up and down the stairs. He has MS and we decided to go with Stannah as they're local to us. My experience working with their sales rep was fine. I did a lot of research on the internet before we even spoke, so it was an easy sell. While the quality of the straight stairlift was fine, our doorcase overlapped on our staircase by about six inches, so it makes our staircase narrow, which would require us to widen our doorcase. Despite that issue, my husband likes the ease of getting in and out of the stairlift.

    The fellow who came to install the Stannah stairlift was good and thorough. He had to come out from Franklin, MA and by our standards, it's a fairly long drive. But he came within 10 minutes of the time he said he was going to arrive, which I thought was good. This fellow was pleasant and knowledgeable as well. He showed me everything to do and showed me the trouble code is a little LED counter that tells you if there's a problem with it. We ran it up and down. He showed me all the features too.

    The stairlift I have is a used one but that one is good. It has some peculiarities like if it's been sitting for a long time, which means the batteries have thoroughly topped off to be of low voltage, and I'm going down the stairs, it starts fast. And then, for 2 feet, it goes its normal speed and then, it goes slow all the way down to the bottom of the stairs. If I stop to go back up the stairs, I then go back down, it goes down at its normal speed. And it only happens if it's been sitting unused for several hours. Other than that, the salesperson was very good, the unit is nice, and having local support and a local installation is worth a bit.

    I used Stannah stairlift for my wife 10 years ago and it was very, very good. They are only one of the few companies that I called that's rent to buy which I find very convenient so I decided to purchase a stairlift from them at this point. My son did mostly the ordering and everything else. When I came home, it was already installed. So far, everything's fine. I like it very much. The button for the foot, the arms go up fine. However, it's a little slow. I also have to reach for the crossbelts underneath the arm, pull it across the legs to install it. I wish it was in the back that'd come across the shoulders so that it'd be easier to reach. Other than that, I have no complaints. We have it in our staircase and it fits perfectly. Once everything is folded up, we can get by. If anyone asks about a stairlift, I would recommend Stannah very, very highly. Their company is very good as well as their policy.

    Both of my parents needed help getting up and down the stairs and Stannah Stairlifts has been great. I looked them up and they were extremely responsive. They were there on time, early, and provided everything they said they would. They explained to me my different options for ownership over the phone, versus leasing, versus new and old or refurbished, and answered all those questions that I've been pointing. The guy was there in 48 hours on time, sat down with me, checked the house up to make sure it could accommodate the stairlift. They showed me where everything would go in terms of the wires and plugs and was very comprehensive and said it would be installed in five days.

    He was back within that time frame installing, so it couldn't have gone any better. My mom has dementia and she was able to use the stairlift, figure out how to do it with a little supervision. She's on it and doing what she needs to do. It took her a couple of days to get used to it, but she's good. If people wanna call me as reference, they can. I would speak the world of Stannah.

    My wife is not able to walk up and down the stairs so we had to purchase a stairlift. I looked up the names of a few stairlift providers and a representative from Stannah came out. I also met with somebody else but we decided that we liked Stannah’s product and we had the arrangement to purchase it. I met with the sales rep and he went over everything. We went through pictures to discuss the various options available, pricing and how to order. We have the straight stairlift installed in our home. It goes up one side of stairs and it fits in fine. My wife likes the whole thing. The device has a light on the left arm of the chair and a little switch that energizes the chair at the moment. There is also a couple of power switch but there is no way to turn the light off.

    Then at night, with the chairlift at the top of the stairs in the dark hallway, that thing blinks and it really lights up the whole area. It's amazing. I wouldn't think anything of it during the day, but at night I do. I have to cover it with something so it is annoying. I don't know how to turn that off the power switch on the underside of the chair itself. Nevertheless, we are satisfied and very pleased with the Stannah Stairlifts. Everything seems to be fine right now but we’ll see how things hold up. The idea of having it made it possible for my wife to go up and down the stairs in the style of house that we have. She probably wouldn't have been released from the hospital at that time had we not have the stairlift installed right then. I would recommend Stannah. In fact, we show the stairlift to anybody who comes in here and we talk about it.

She's on oxygen, so it was getting very difficult for her to climb the stairs, and she would always be out of breath. Her staircase was unusual, it has two curves, so we needed something that was going to fit her circumstances made specifically for her situation. My sister and niece insisted on Stannah Stairlifts. I had my misgivings, but I am very pleased with the way it is on the staircase. It's not overwhelming, it's extremely secure. It's been a very positive thing here. The young men who installed it.

    The Stannah Stairlifts sales rep and installers were great. The installers demonstrated the stairlift and they were very patient with my mother. My mother is 95 years old and 110 pounds. She couldn’t go upstairs unless there was somebody walking with her. I went upstairs with her at night, but now, with the Stannah stairlift, she could say goodnight and go to bed. The stairlift gives my mother the freedom to go up and down in safety. It’s perfect for her. However, it would be better if they could make the motorized seat so that when it gets to the top of the stairs, it completely turns towards her room. I don’t mean it has to deliver her into her bedroom, but I thought that it would turn away from the stairway more. The seat where her butt is turns 60 degrees, but it doesn’t turn 110 degrees. Plus, the foot platform stays where it is and doesn't rotate. The post moves and turns the body, but the feet don’t move with it.

    A member of my family got very sick and wasn’t able to use the stairs, so we had to install a stairlift. Stannah was referred to us. We got the straight stairlift. The dimensions suited the tight stairwell. I was actually in Florida at the time, and it was installed in New York. So the interaction with them was over the phone and we had a friend take care of the installation. It was superb and seamless, and it couldn't have been better. The rep was very professional, too.

    The installation took two hours which was mind-boggling because I expected it to be sort of a day or so. Literally, they were in and out in a couple of hours. The only issue was we had to install an outlet there. But other than that, it was just so easy. No mess. Everything was done so cleanly. I have used the stairlift just to ride it to see how it worked. When we came back from Florida, I got on the stairlift first to make sure it was all good, and it was great. It is simple to use and inexpensive. I was amazed at how not cheap but inexpensive it was. I expected to be spending an awful lot more money on something like this.

    Stannah's salesman was excellent as his arguments were better than the one from Acorn. Acorn started $1,000 higher than Stannah but then they matched Stannah's price. They were trying to gouge too much while Stannah was more honest with their price. Also, Stannah was the better product based on the way it was made and the fact that it was one piece cut into sections. The double-rail system looked sturdier to me.

    I got one from them and the installers showed up right on time. They were very efficient and gave the information. I talked to them about a couple of things, and their answers were really good. They gave us a complete demonstration of how to operate it. They clearly knew all the features. They did their business and cleaned everything up perfectly. We have a much older house so it has a lot of small rooms. Stannah's curved stairlift with one landing and 90-degree turn fit in there perfectly.

    Thus far, we've had no problems operating the stairlift and it seems to be working really well. The power footrest is good and my mother who had a hip operation doesn't have to bend down. Otherwise, she would have trouble lifting it with the toe of her food. That’s a good feature which was included in the price. Another good feature is the seat. It needs to be smooth enough so the person sitting can slide on and off a little bit. One of the other stairlifts had seats that weren't nearly as slippery. The one we have has a comfortable seat that allows the passenger to get in and out very easily. The movable armrest is a good feature too. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the stairlift.

    My experience and the reviews with Acorn were highly negative but I am absolutely satisfied with Stannah Stairlifts. Long before my wife had the need for those kinds of services back in October, I recognized that she was having difficulty climbing the stairs, so I arranged for a visit by the representative. The rep was wonderful and she explained everything that I would need, what the costs were and the functions of the stairlift.

    The experience with the installer that came out to put it in was absolutely excellent. It took about five hours to do it, which he explained ahead of time. Everything that he did was very professional. We had a straight stairlift installed and it had to have an arm. The stairlift takes up a lot of space but it can be easily moved out of the way. I wish that it could be at the bottom location but it does not get charged when it is down there. So, we moved it in the middle of the stairway, which kinda blocks the stairway. If I had any druthers, I’d like it to be powered to charge the battery while it is in the fully down position. In the fully up position, there is no hope of getting by it, but in the fully down position, we can get by it fine.

    My wife is presently in rehab and she is gonna be discharged on March 5th, so I am making preparations to service her at home. One of the things that she can’t do now is to stand. Eventually, she will be able to use the stairlift to go upstairs to her bedroom and to her TV room.

    The price of the Stannah stairlift was good. And their rep who came out for a sales visit had a nice demeanor. He was very knowledgeable about the product and he wasn't even pushy at all. The stairlift was definitely an asset. It fits well into my home and since I have elderly parents, we definitely needed it. So far, they like the stairlift.

    Thanks for your vote!
