There’s a few reasons to choose a second hand stairlift. Of course with a pre-used, second hand stairlift, you’re getting a large discount on the price. It often amounts to a 30-40% discount compared to a brand new stairlift.
However, this leads to the topic of quality. How good is a second hand stairlift compared with a brand new one? Will it cost you later in terms of repairs and breakdowns? With our second hand stairlifts it’s an emphatic “no” in this regard. We choose only the best quality brands for our reconditioned stairlifts. With a high quality brand, a pre-used model can even out-perform brand new models of a lower quality.
Hence why we choose the brands which last, such as Stannah and Thyssen/Access BDD. These are market leaders when it comes to build quality. They typically out-last less superior makes and models.
