Stair Lifts looking for the Cheap Deal
If you are looking for the cheapest deal on a Stair Lift Online, you have many options....Or at least it looks that way. Their are actually only Two Primary models sold online: Acorn and Harmar. (Others may sell some but not in any volume)
When one searches, it may look like there are 40 different manufacturer's:
Ameirglide, Stairlifts 101, 101 mobility, Jameson, The Scooter Store, A1 Mobility, SilverCross and 50 more...
All of these sites are Middleman sites. They only offer 2 Lifts or a version of these 2. All Cable winding drum lifts are made by Harmar. No one else makes this old technology because they consistently set the slack safety and must be manually reset by pulling up on the Steel cable wedged between the aluminum track and hope you do not get your hand trapped by the weight of the lift after the safety releases. Not something your Grandma should do!
3. The others is Acorn a long standing Foreign Manufacturer who tried to sell to dealers, but ran into too many difficulties producing a solid consistent product. Now they primarily sell DIY because it is the most profitable for them. They are a Foreign Manufacturer who can sell at a bottom of the barrel price, but typically sell DIY at the same price any local Stair lift company sells at. $3,000-3,400.
i post these to reveal the schemes of the Internet Middleman who only host a website and never intend to show up to your home or offer a showroom to test out a unit.
Please be cautious when dealing with Cyber Retailers claiming to offer a CHEAP Deal. If it sounds too good to be true...It likely is.

DIY Home Elevators?
DIY HOME ELEVATORS????
Recently I called out a website who was offering DIY Home elevators that could also be used in commercial applications. This obviously was not a Legal or Code compliant offer. They had the nerve to say that they were "Elevator Experts". I challenged this and it was taken down and revised. This company has sold No Elevators that I can tell. Their supplier has shipped only a few in over a year. Now they offer another drive system having never built or shipped one.
As always, do your home work and ask to see other installations or a SHOW
ROOM with real product. would you really pay 100% of $16,000-19,000 before you ever looked at or road an elevator product from an online Retailer who has NO history of selling an elevator and makes claims that are not Safe or Code compliant, just to save a few dollars?
Please choose wisely.
