Stannah responded immediately. The sales person was great, came and took measurements, and showed me all available options without pushing extras. Explained everything including pricing well. He was able to have our install scheduled within a week as my mother was unable to leave our home until the lifts were in. Install day was great. Brad was our installer, and he was amazing. We had many people in and out, as he was installing the two lifts. He was patient, and very kind, and explained everything so well. He was great with my elderly mom. My basement door was causing problems, and Brad worked on it until it was exactly right, and safe even though it kept him well past his leaving time. He vacuumed and cleaned up before leaving, so there was nothing for us to do but try the lifts. I will request Brad for service and repair in the future. The lifts are amazing. Easy for my elderly mother to use, well made, very sturdy, and quiet as well. It has made our lives so much better and given my mother back her freedom. I would recommend Stannah to anyone looking for a quality lift, with great service and warranties.

They went up and down and made sure that the seat alarm went off when it was supposed to and that the system shut down when it was supposed to. They just kind of went over the whole thing for 20 minutes but everything is fine. It was excellent. They were really courteous and very professional and everything worked out great.
Description of Work: They did a routine follow up. They came for just a one year check up just to see how it was running.

The reason I can't give Stannah an A or even a B is that as of today (July 3), our stairlift stopped working--less than 3 weeks after it was installed. It is stuck at the top of the stairs and won't budge. When I called the company about 11:00 this morning to ask for a technician to come out, I was told by the person I spoke to that a technician would call me back as soon as possible. What I didn't realize and wasn't told by the person I spoke to was that apparently the prompt, professional service we were originally assured would be available to us didn't apply to the day before a holiday. When I called again in late afternoon, I was told the person would send a 2nd message but the company was basically closed for the holiday weekend. This meant that the earliest we could expect someone to call us (if we're lucky) would be Monday! That comes out to a minimum of 4 days without a usable stairlift (possibly even longer, because there's no telling when a technician will actually be dispatched to our house). In the meantime, my son has to make as few trips upstairs as possible, each time with great difficulty and pain. I hate to think what we'd be facing if he absolutely could not climb stairs, which is something he has experienced at times in the past. I answered yes to the question about using the service again, but that's only because "maybe" wasn't offered as a choice. I would need to see a substantial improvement in Stannah's responsiveness and clear communication with customers (especially in situations such as right before a holiday) before I would consider recommending them to someone else or give them a better rating on Angie's List. ------------------------------------------- UPDATE (July 9, 2015): (1)The good news is that we got the stairlift fixed on Monday. The bad news is that it stopped working again 2 days later! I called first thing this morning and was told they could have someone out between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. and would call me when he was en route. As of 4:30 no call had come in, so I called them again and was told a message would be relayed to the technician and someone would get back to me. By almost 5:30 I had not received a call and no technician had appeared. I then called the cell phone of the man who originally sold us the stairlift, and he promised to contact a technician directly. About 20 minutes later, we had not one but two service vans in our driveway! They were able to fix the stairlift, and it appears that our dogs (or their hair) might have been largely responsible for the latest problem. That's something we will need to make sure we take care of in future; however, it doesn't excuse Stannah's poor system for responding effectively to customer problem calls and making sure those issues are resolved promptly . (2) When you sell a product that's really important to your customers' health and well-being, it seems to me that you have an obligation to go "above and beyond" in terms of responsiveness. I do really appreciate the help we got today from our sales guy, Rich; however, Stannah's performance regarding timely and proactive response to our difficulties doesn't come close to the service quality level I believe should be an essential part of their business practices.
Description of Work: Initially we arranged to have a stairlift installed in our new house, as my son has a major problem with stairs. The first contact and scheduling of installation went fine. The installation was also handled professionally. At that point, we were very pleased with the service, and my son definitely appreciated being able to use the stairlift.

We have a brand new home so we were a little worried about how it was going to look - they have to anchor the chair in the stairs. They did a beautiful job and it looks as nice as a lift can possibly look. They really know their business and are true professionals.

As usual, the service men arrived on time. They completed the work in less than two hours and were on their way. This unit is approximately 8 years old and it has never failed to work. On a few occasions it would indicate that something was not right, but it gave us time to schedule a service call to fix the problem--usually a worn out battery. The customer service people are very professional. I think everyone there understands the nature of this product and the importance of having it work when needed. I referred two friends and both purchased a stairlift from them. I highly recommend them if you are looking to purchase a stairlift.
Description of Work: Service call to replace the wiring harness. I purchased this stairlift for my parents approximately 8 years ago--replaced a competitor's unit that was unreliable. We carry a yearly warranty plan that covers all service calls/parts.

Be careful when choosing this company. I installed this chair for my mother in my home. On Friday Nov. 28th the chair stopped working. I called and the answering service told me that they were not in until Monday, this is unacceptable!! In desperation I called the salesperson who always said before purchasing "call me anytime if any problems" He was clearly put out and said that he would call the office in the morning and call me back. No call, not even the courtesy to say he tried but could not help. Needless to say mom spent the entire weekend upstairs, unable to get down my stairs. This is an expensive product. On Monday morning 12/01 I called and the person was rude!! (I was very upset) The serviceman did fix the chair later in the day.
Description of Work: Swivel mechanism broken chair not functional.

I never expected a two day old machine to fail suddenly, especially without a remedy available. This happened on the weekend and the company would not come out. I know machines can fail and even if I was not worried about that, I would hope that a company this large would have a weekend and holiday contact to handle any emergency or even questions that the cusotmer might have. This contact number should appear in their literature.

We had the stair lift installed in April for my mother who recently had her knee replacement surgery. We have been leasing the stairlift since April. So far we have been extremely happy with the over all performce of the product and the service from the compnay. The chair is very easy to operate, safe and comfortable. I will certainly recomment it to anyone who is thinking of using it. Absolutely great product. We plan to continue leasing it for a few more months.
Description of Work: We met with the company representative a couple of months prior to the installation. The representative we met was very knowdgeable, professional and easy to deal with. Not pushy at all. He provided us all the necessary information and answerd all our questions. That helped us to make the decision properly. The stair lift was installed in April of this year.

Stannah Stairlifts was easy to work with and have provided a dependable and user friendly product. You will pay more for a Stannah, but you will also get features not available on other models. We chose to go with Stannah for the automation and safety features. We have used the product for one year and thus far we haven't had any significant problems.
