Stairlifts Warning
"Before buying a new or second hand stairlift please read the information below"
All stair lifts are NOT the same!
Don't take any chances when buying a stair lift, make sure you conduct a like-for-like comparison of the features, the technology and the comfort and safety aspects of the equipment, before you hand over your money.

You DONT want to buy a stair lift:
1. If a stair lift is cable hauled, or uses a chain or rope - it will be noisy, jarring and oily
2. If a stair lift has a trailing mains cable - it is AC powered, which means it will be quite complex and time consuming to install. It may also be unreliable and has the potential to electrocute
3. If a stair lift does not have a swivel seat - it is outdated and potentially hazardous, particularly at the top of the stairway
4. If stair lift does not have rack & pinion drive - it will be noisy and lacking stability
5. If a stair lift does not have ‘soft start - soft stop’ technology - it is outdated and uncomfortable, with jarring starts and stops
6. If stair lift is not DC powered - it will be troublesome, lack smoothness and could be potentially dangerous. It will be immobilized during a power outage
7. If a stair lift does not have an overspeed governor - the stair lift is not protected from an uncontrolled descent, if a major drive system failure should occur. In this case, the stair lift could plummet to the foot of the stairway, with terrible consequences.
8. If a stair lift does not have status display system - it will be impossible to diagnose a fault without a costly home visit.
