Pros & Cons of Buying A Reconditioned Stairlift
Compared to New Stairlifts

The Pros of Buying a Reconditioned Stairlift

• Cheaper than the new stairlift option
• There should be no 'teething' problems as the stairlift has been used prior elsewhere
• Installation maybe faster if you opt for a curved stairlift

The Cons of Buying Reconditioned Stairlifts

• Some reconditioned stairlifts may have a limited warranty
• It maybe difficult to source a stairlift that is suitable for your stairs
• Ongoing maintenance maybe an issue if the stair lift is no longer in production
• If the stairlift is no longer in production, it could be difficult to find replacement parts
• Unlike a new a stairlift, it would be difficult to taylor reconditioned stairlifts to the users needs
• You may find that you will have to buy a second stairlift in the future should the first be beyond repair

Other Points to Remember

• Quality of reconditioned stairlifts will vary tremendously
• Unfortunately, some companies are not as thorough with their reconditioned stairlifts
• You cannot mix'n'match different makes of stairlifts to different tracks
• It is easy to cut a track down to suit your straight staircase
• Some reconditioned straight stairlifts can be 're-handed'
• It would be easier to adapt a curved stairlift to suit a straight staircase than to adapt a straight stairlift for a curved staircase
• A straight stairlift with a platform installation could be a cheaper alternative to a curved stairlift installation - but not always the safest.
