Warranty Fine Print

Each and every stairlift that Handicare manufactures is engineered to the highest quality standards and designed to provide years of reliable service. As a result, its straight stairlifts include a lifetime warranty on their motor and gearbox, and the curved stairlifts include a 5-year warranty. A new Handicare stairlift will come with a two-year warranty as standard (excluding batteries). Of course, the warranty and service can always be extended by taking out a service contract.
Every new stairlift comes with a 2 year comprehensive warranty and the first 2 services are free. We regret this offer is not available on products purchased through third party dealers or companies, or products purchased with the aid of a grant and is only applicable to residents of England, Scotland and Wales. Each stairlift purchased as reconditioned comes with a 12 month warranty and one free service. Rented stairlifts come with servicing and call-outs for the duration of the rental agreement.

Stannah Stairlifts review
I can't say that the product is dependable. It stops in between the landings. The first time it happened six months ago, it took 3 visits from 3 different repairmen before they found the problem in the arm wiring. Six months later, the problem re-occured. I narrowed it down to the armrest where the switch is because the product worked with the remote but not the switch on the arm. He told me there was nothing wrong with the unit. A day later, the problems persisted. When I called for service, I was given a time slot and the tech didnt show up. I called a half hour after the time window and was told they meant to call me to tell me the tech was running late. I am dissapointed in the company, I expected better.

Lifetime warranty??? This is big words for very limited warranty! If you REALLY read warranty paper you will find that it is EQUIPMENT lifetime which is estimated for 10 years. NOT YOUR lifetime (until you die). It looks like lousy product which will last only 10 years...
