I read reviews on everything before I make a purchase. I did not do so in this case because I needed something right away. My husband has Vascular Parkinsonism and his walking/gait is very unsteady. On July 4,2017 he fell off the back of a golf cart (we use it for our neighborhood - not golf). He landed on his right foot at an angle and broke the distal ends of the tibia and fibula in 3 places total. He had surgery to insert plate and pins and is in a cast for about 7 weeks with NO weight bearing on the broken leg. We live in a townhouse that has a drive under garage so there is a flight of stairs just to get up to the main part of the house where family room/kitchen/dining rooms are. I called Ameriglide and spoke with a man named Jaden and he was an exceptional sales person. I ordered the stair lift chair and it was installed a few days before my husband came home from rehab after 3 weeks. It was all under $3000 - including installation, parts, shipment, etc. The man who installed in travels all over the southern states and can install these with his eyes closed. He installed it in an hour. It is perfect for someone who can bear weight on one leg or the other or both. It would not work though for someone who cannot bear weight on both legs unless they can be lifted onto it by someone. The man who installed it gave me his personal contact information and will come to repair it whenever I need. He said most problems can be solved over the phone. An elevator would have cost around $28,000 and another dumb waiter type of option would have been $7-10,000. I am more than pleased with this product and also pleased with the sales, installation and quality of the product. I HIGHLY recommend this product.
