Are reconditioned stairlifts worth the risk? A reconditioned stairlift is a professionally refurbished stairlift which has been thoroughly tested to ensure it is suitable for use. Still, some of our customers are concerned about buying a reconditioned stairlift. The main concern is that of longevity.
Often people think that buying a reconditioned stairlift means their stairlift is more prone to breakdown. So, even though a second hand, fully refurbished stairlift is much cheaper, the concern is it’ll cost more later; not just in cash terms but also potentially hassle and stress!
But there’s no need to worry with our pre-used stairlifts on this account. We use only top brands, such as Stannah for our reconditioned units. This means they will last, and can even outlast less superior brands which have been bought new.
Stannah have such a good reputation and it’s not for nothing. Their stairlifts out-last the competition due to the high standards, and build quality factors such as using more powerful motors and better parts.
Are Reconditioned Stairlifts Worth The Risk?
We only use the best quality stairlifts for refurbishing and avoid low quality stairlifts which are known for breaking down! UK Stairlifts apply a full, 2 year warranty to all our reconditioned units which means we offer full cover for call-outs, parts and labour.
We simply wouldn’t offer this if we couldn’t stand by our conviction! We regularly service stairlifts around the country and know which ones have given us the most problems in the past. That’s 20 years of stairlift know-how!
That’s why we choose only the best – it’s better for us and for our customers. We have fewer call-outs, and customers can be assured they are getting a high quality product – for a much lower price!
Are Reconditioned Stairlifts Worth The Risk – Yes!
With UK Stairlifts there’s no risk when it comes to buying a reconditioned stairlift! We take the risk out of buying second hand by offering our 2 year warranty on all our refurbished lifts. So if you buy one from us, you’re fully covered giving you full peace of mind!
When you consider you can save almost half the cost of a brand new stairlift in some cases (usually between 20%-40%), that’s quite a saving. But with a high quality stairlift it’s a win-win too! Less frustration later with costly breakdowns and not having any cover!
We think our reconditioned stairlifts offer the best possible value for our customers. We know how important a stairlift is – it’s literally a life saving piece of equipment. We’re proud to offer a high quality product for a much more affordable price, something that is a large purchase.
Summary
When buying a second hand stairlift always consider the brand. High quality brands will easily out-perform lower quality ones. The saying “buy cheap buy twice” is particularly relevant when it comes to stairlifts.
We choose only the best brands for reconditioning. We apply our 2 year full warranty to all of them. This means you’re covered for parts, labour and call-outs. This isn’t typical so always check the after-care and warranty terms when buying second hand stairlifts.
We have been in the business of stairlifts for over 20 years and are accredited through Check-a-Trade and Which?
