    Working with the installers was excellent. The main thing was that they were able to do the install so quickly. We had a concern about the product and they came within a couple of days and took care of that. The Bruno is working out very well but the thing where the user puts their feet could be longer.

    I can't seem to get the remote working. The lift is working good but I can't retrieve it. If I send my wife downstairs, she has to resend it up from downstairs and I can't retrieve it standing upstairs. Also, for some reason, they couldn't put the safety belt on so I have no safety belt. I've called customer service and it's been a while now.

    The dealer offered Bruno and they explained the different features. They got the chairlifts in a reasonable amount of time and installed it. The only issue we've had is that the chair has to be swiveled to get in and out on the top of the stairs. That swiveling action is not the easiest for an 86 year old and I haven't talked to them about it. I wish there was an automated way for the chair to swivel instead of manually pushing the chair. But otherwise, it fits pretty well in the stairwell. Also, it seems solidly made. I just got it installed. Let’s see how long it will last.

    My stairwell is a little narrow, which was why I was concerned initially, but it makes life a lot easier for me. It's serving the purpose and my family is not complaining that it's taking up too much space and inhibiting flow on my stairwell. The installers came on time and finished a little early, and the gentleman told me what the process was going to be. It was an excellent experience. The stairlift has made me sleep a lot better. I'm not so apprehensive about thinking about that I was going to have to engage the stairs every day. There were consecutive days when I had to sleep in my office or in the media room because I couldn't get upstairs or when I was upstairs, I couldn't get downstairs.

    The experience with the Bruno reps was fantastic as well as the installation. It didn't take that long and we were amazed. My husband is the one using the stairlift and it was a little jittery on turns. The installers came out before Christmas, rode it and checked it all out. It was a question of new working in and if not, they will come back. It's not a bad thing and it's tiny. But my husband wanted to make sure there wasn't wrong that would get worse. Since the installers came out, it’s been the same but it isn't an issue. It's working fine. We have multiple turns and my husband was hearing a little bitty rumbling on the big turn. But it will work itself out because it's new. He didn't want the stairlift and I was the one fighting for it, watching him struggle to get up the stairs. But now, there isn’t a time he hasn’t used it. He loves it and I love it, because I know that he's not going to tumble down the stairs.

    I fell and broke my leg on a Thursday night, and I live in a house that's nothing but stairs. I got three stairs up, then you turn, then you got five stairs up, then you turn again, then you got another seven stairs, and that gets you up to my living area. After I came home from the hospital, I managed to get upstairs, and then, with the help of two strong boys that live next door, they lifted me up into a wheelchair. But I was stuck. I couldn't get downstairs or out of my house. I called Bruno because they installed my neighbor's stairlift and she lives in a house that's just like mine. We're townhouses side-by-side.

    That was a Monday morning that I talked to Bruno, then on Wednesday morning at 9:00, they showed up and installed my stairlift. I have never had such great service in my entire life. The way they worked and as fast as they worked and as quickly as they were able to come and install the stairlift, I have nothing but great raves to say about the company. I'd recommend them to anyone who was in trouble and needed a stairlift. The stairlift has been a lifesaver, and now, I'm still using it because I'm not planning on falling down my stairs again anytime soon.

    The people that came and installed my Bruno stairlift were very professional and helpful. I had a problem the very first day. They installed it, and the very next morning, it stopped working. They were here within a half an hour and it turned out, it was one little thing that needed to be adjusted. It has worked right through then. I was barely making it up and down the stairs. So, I would try and limit myself to once a day, which was not really doable because I'm still working from home. My office is upstairs. Everything else is downstairs. So, I was doing multiple trips a day and killing myself. So, this stairlift has made life much easier.

    The only thing that annoys me is usually I have something in my hand from my phone to some papers I gotta bring up and it's very hard to get the seatbelts around. As soon as you start to pull the seat belt, it locks up and you've got to juggle whatever you're holding and pull that seatbelt out really far, so that you can get around and be able to use that thing. You got no place to balance or put anything, and it takes multiple attempts to get the seatbelt on. I find that very annoying. Other than that, the ride is smooth and very comfortable. It's been a lifesaver for me to be able to go up and down with the stairlift and get the pressure off of my bad leg.

    The Bruno chair escalator is a good product. The sales guy who visited here and the dealer who interacted with me later on were okay. They were pretty prompt and good people. The sales guy spent quite a lot of time here. He told us all the technical information. He did a good presentation. The only thing was the installation was delayed a little bit. It took a couple of weeks more before they actually came and installed the product. They said that it was all because of the shipping issues going on in the country.

    The chair escalator is easy to use. My mom is impaired with her right hand, but we got the controls on the left side. So she's able to independently use it. The quality is good. When the technician was fitting it, I saw that he had some trouble installing some plastic panels after rerouting the wiring to the left side. Under the handle, there is a plastic panel that has to be closed. It's kind of a closed out cover, after you tuck in all the wires and when you bring the control to the left hand side. So I'm keeping an eye on it. But so far, the cover is intact. I would appreciate it if he would have done a little bit better wiring. There is a power supply, which is right now nailed onto the wall. It shows the battery status and I would have expected that to be more discreet rather than open and frontal.

    I’m enjoying our Bruno stairlift tremendously. My mother-in-law is enjoying it far more than what I'm enjoying it for, but it makes my life a whole lot easier getting her in and out of the house. We had two other competitors come and speak with us. We felt more comfortable with the Bruno brand, and we had heard some discouraging remarks about one of the three that came in. So, we didn't even consider that one. There was nothing overwhelmingly different between Bruno and the third one but we didn't want to self-install and we also felt very confident in the product after the Bruno salesman who came out explained everything to us.

    The installation went very nicely and smoothly. The installer knew exactly what to do. He had a trainee with him and he assisted. The guy that was installing knew what to say and how to get the stairlift in. They were here for three hours, and it's worked perfectly ever since. I’d definitely recommend Bruno because of my experience with it now.

    The Bruno representatives were courteous, seemed to know exactly what they were doing, and worked well together. They worked hard and fast, and did a nice job. The stairlift is a straight shot up. At the bottom of the steps, there's a door that goes to the right, and they had to put a section of the rail so it would swing up. So when the stair is on a ridal position, the chair has to be up the rail a little ways so that section of the rail can fold up and doesn't block the doorway. So far, I'm happy with it. It seems to be solid and sturdy. I like the way it folds up out of the way for family members that don't need to use it. There's plenty of room to go up and down the steps when it's folded out of the way. It's not a hazard for others.

I also did a little research on it online and due to the conditions now, I like the way that it was set up because it's set up as more of a straight rail. I also liked the availability. I needed something right away, so that also played a part in my decision to go with them.

    When my stairlift was installed, the young men who came out were very professional. They were ready to work and they told me to just stay where I was at and be comfortable. They took the measurements, went out to the truck, set up a railing, and came in very fast and efficient. They told me that they would let me know when I could test it out. But they tested it out first and they set up and adjusted it. Then they walked me over there, set the seating, and explained all the little gadgets and how to operate it.

    Bruno is American-made and it has a good reputation. My stairway is split so I had two of their chairlifts installed. When you sit on it and get everything ready, sometimes it won't move until you wiggle a little bit. It needs a connection. Also, it would beep when you get on it. The seatbelt would be on and the should be arm straight. This beeping happens very frequently for both units. You click the last thing in and it stops. The units could beep a little less.

    My dad uses our Bruno stairlift almost daily and it's been a really good addition. It helps him be a little more independent. The company that put it in for us was local and they were really helpful when they came out and gave us a bid. And it was the most convenient. They were also very professional and fast. We were concerned that there would have to be some remodeling done but because we were able to get the retractable part at the base, it didn't affect the doorway. And because it goes into the stairs, it doesn't affect the wall. So, we didn't have to change anything in our house in order to put it in.

    The installation went really smoothly. The only problem I had with the Bruno was I could not get a left-hand folding rail through the manufacturer. So, I ended up going with the right-hand unit instead of a left-hand one because they had the right-hand folding rails in stock. That's working out fine but it's probably safer at the top, a little harder at the bottom. If I'd gone with the left hand unit, it would've been easier at the bottom, but a little scarier at the top. Other than that, the stairlift is safe. The parts issue was a big deal. I had lined up a different company if Bruno couldn't come through from me.

    Bruno has really good reviews. There was another brand but there were issues about parts getting there on time and the difference between it being a US branded product versus an overseas product. There were also some of the concerns with customer service and not getting responses timely or at all. There was also a family friend who gave some insight. They worked for a lift company and knew of the Bruno brand. They said that that was definitely worth the cost in the sense that you get the customer service, the lifetime warranty, and that it's a good brand.

    We had an incident with our installation where we had to get another part sent out. The day we got it installed, the seat was going over the gearbox that folds the rail, and somehow, it chewed it up and went over it to where the arm rail wouldn't fold up or down anymore, and the chair was getting stuck. The guys came out to look at it and ordered the parts. It took a couple of weeks, which wasn't bad because for our order, we waited a good couple of months. Now, it's been working fine since we got it replaced. They turned off the rail from folding then made the chair usable as if it was a straight rail. That had an issue where the guy stopped working then a guy came out. The customer service has been great. They responded.

    Other than the waiting for the original products to be delivered and installed then the ordering of this part, we haven't had any other issue. We've been nothing but pleased. We have three kids, ages 3 to 18, and they're all using it. It's kind of the attraction and it's holding up well. The cost with Bruno was higher but we knew we were going to need to invest. We needed to buy three sets 'cause that's how many stairs there were, and the Bruno stairlifts are decently quick. It's a long set of stairs and it goes through it in a minute or less.

    We have a fully accessible home except for the upstairs, and I had a lift that we had put up for my daughter 12 years ago to take her from the garage level to the basement. My youngest daughter passed away, so now, we use it. I called the company who took care of my lift, and they recommended Bruno and their product. I originally wanted to get a complete stairlift from the bottom up to the landing, and then up to the next level but the lead time on that was two to four months because it was a custom order. So instead, I had to buy two individual ones. One to the landing, and the second, from the landing to the second floor.

    I like that it's simple. It's easy to twist the chair, push the little lever down and turn the chair. I like the fact that we have the remotes, although I've never used them yet. Hopefully, my wife will be able to handle it without the remotes. But if need be, I have the remote control, I can take her up. I like the seatbelts. I don't use them, and I don't know if my wife will need them. But it's nice, at least initially, knowing that they're there so that she can take care of herself. I don’t have to worry about her falling out on the way up or before she transfers. The fact they put it in in an hour and a half was amazing to me. I called on a Thursday. They installed it on a Friday. These guys were wonderful. I've always gotten great service from Bruno. They've never recommended anything that isn't right.

At around 10:30, I called and they said we were not scheduled till 12:30. But the salesman was fantastic and during the installation of my stairlift, the men were outstanding.

    The install was fine. They showed us how to use it. The stairlift worked fine when I test drove it but when I was trying to use it after my father got it, it wouldn't work. It kept beeping and wouldn't go down. I don't know why it did that. Also, it is pretty wide for our staircase which is narrow so there's not really much space.

    I have a Curb-Sider from Bruno and this is my second one. The other one was older while this one is updated and takes up less room inside my van. During my purchase, the salesperson at the DME Services store wasn't very knowledgeable. He was saying that they had four connections but I knew that there was a bar underneath and it has a U shape because they were just updating mine and I knew how it hooked it up. It was a little bit different from the one that I had before and it makes it a little bit more difficult for me now. I used to hook it up sitting on the curb and on the one closest to me on that side. And now, I have to do it on the other side, so I can't sit. I have a hard time looking down because then I get vertigo. So, I'm still struggling with it.

    I tried it the installer’s way then I tried it my way. And my way getting it in was fine. But getting it out, I had a little bit difficulty trying to do my way. So I went back to the way the installer said and it was fine. It's just going to be harder for me to unhook it off and on because I have nowhere to sit to unhook it off and on. One of the things that I did on my old one was, I took a red marker tape that you use for scrapbooks so that it marked how far the bar went in. So, I knew when I put the thing in and that that was where I put the pin in so that it lined up correctly. And it makes it easier for me to know it was in the right place without doing it. So if there's a way to do that with this new one, that would be great. I just have to do it after the fact and I'm not sure if it's possible for Bruno to do that because I don't know if it would be different on different scooters. It would also be nice if they'd have a plug to charge the scooter in the back. Other than that, I love Bruno.

    We went through 101 Mobility to get a stairlift installed and they said that they typically get better results with Bruno. Also, we went to their showroom and Bruno had more features than some of the other models. The installation was great. The installers showed up on time and they worked quickly and efficiently. They didn't take more time than they told us they would take and on the last day, they made sure everything worked. They explained everything and we were able to test everything.

    My mother-in-law feels pretty comfortable with the stairlift and it's pretty safe. She had an incident a week or two after it had been installed, where she got to the top of the stairs and it wouldn't swivel. She had to back it down a couple of stairs and then go back up and then it would swivel. We contacted 101 Mobility. They asked to test things and to contact them if we had more issues but we've had no issues since then. The only thing that we'd like improved is if they could make the footrest slightly larger.

The stairlift fits very nicely and we like it a lot better than the original, the way that it stands up.

    We talked to the sales guy Bob and he was wonderful. He spent plenty of time explaining everything. We had already done our research online on Google but he reinforced it. He also took measurements. Rather than having one long stairlift that turned a corner, we decided on the one where you take one up to the landing then another one starts at the landing to go up. There are stairs going into the garage so we decided on one there.

    Bob was very good about trying to get the stairlift to us as soon as possible. His son then came to install it a few days later. The guy was super nice and he had me try out the stairlift. He explained everything too. It didn't take long to do all three stairlifts. The work wasn't messy and was just very nice. You wouldn't even know anybody was here.

    The stairlift gets me from downstairs to upstairs and that's what I love about it. I get to go to sleep and take a bath upstairs. My office is there too. That's the practicality of having the stairlift. It's also very smooth and I don't have to worry. My cat is used to it now so she doesn't look at it like it's a monster. Once you get used to the stairlift, it's fun. It's like a ride. Every time you hear stairlifts, you think of Acorn because they are constantly on TV. But do your research. There are others that are better or just as good and aren't as expensive or maybe the same price. Find the stairlift that suits you for the price that suits you.

    We liked the installation because I was told that normally the installer attaches them to the wall, or they do something else. Bruno installed ours to our steps. My wife wasn't happy because we got oak flooring and she didn't like that. But I said, "Well, you'll get use out of it. And when I get to the point where I can't walk, I'll get use out of it too." She said, “Okay." She would've had it mounted to the wall, but I've never seen any of them. Even on TV, they’re always mounted to the floor, on the steps. She said, "We paid a lot of money for those oak stair tread and stuff. Well, I can live with it." And before we used to have particleboard shelving and covered it up with carpet. And we took the carpet and the particle board shelving out and they put oak stair tread on top.

    The only thing I was unhappy with is when the installers did all the cutting, they left all the metal shavings in my driveway, and I had to go out there and get my blower. I said, "Oh, no big deal." I thought they would be aluminum foil, heck no. They were sharp shards. I picked one up and said, "Oh crap." My grandkids come and visit me and when they get off, they're just wearing their socks all bare-footed. That's why I said, "I want to get this stuff out of here because if the kids can get that stuff on their feet, they're going to come in crying down, "Grandpa, grandpa, I got this stuck on my foot.". So, I just took my blower and blew all that stuff away. Other than that, I got no other complaints. The stairlift works good. My grandkids like the hell out of it, and I do too.

    I have a close friend of mine who is a veteran too and had his installed. They wanted to put one when he's going downstairs, because his wife told me he had to scoot in his butt to get downstairs. When there's a severe tornado warning, they said that that's the only way he could get out. But he said it limited the space going up and going down. And mine does too, but I don't worry about it. Now, all I have to worry about is getting in and out of bed, take a shower. I would tell everybody that comes into my house, "Check this out. It has rocket boosters on it. You put it in compound, it goes slow." It only travels at one speed, but it's a plus and they like it. They would say "I gotta get me one of those."

    The sales guy was from my area. He was very nice. Also, the guys were excellent putting it in. However, I didn't know how to turn the chair. I still don't know what I'm doing wrong. But it's something where the chair turns, and then you put it in place. And then when I would hit it to go down, I couldn't get down. The chair has to pop up somehow. Other than that, everything is working out great. Yesterday, I was able to get back down. It was all in the seating of it, the two handles on the side. I just had to figure them out.

    I like the Bruno representative who came out and explained everything to us. And then, the installation was very good. A young man came and within one and half to two hours, the stairlift was put in. And they explained how to use everything very well to us. Bruno has put out a very good product. The chair is very comfortable. Everything seems to be excellent. I couldn't have bought anything better. I don't fear of falling down the basement.
