Reconditioned Stairlifts
Should You Pick a New or a Reconditioned Lift?
Before making your purchase, there are several advantages and disadvantages to consider for both new and reconditioned stairlifts.
Pros of a New Stairlift
- The manufacturer warranty comes with each stairlift
- Replacement parts readily available, as the stairlift is still current
- Support can be provided by the stairlift vendor
- New stairlifts are built to specification for the owner's unique needs
Cons of a New Stairlift
- They're more expensive than used ones
- It could take 3-10 weeks to find a useable curved stairlift, depending on the level of customization needed
- Curved lifts often need more service over time due to their complexity
Pros of a Reconditioned Stairlift
Used stairlifts are generally much cheaper than their brand-new counterparts
A reconditioned stairlift will not devalue over time to the same extent as a new stairlift, making reconditioned stairlifts as a temporary fixture a better investment than an equivalent new stairlift
Cons of a Reconditioned Stairlift
Used stairlifts have less warranty than new stairlifts - some may not have any warranty at all
You will need a used stairlift that perfectly lines up with the shape of your stairs, which can make it much harder to find a suitable fit
Used and reconditioned stairlifts are more likely to need a service, with some models being much more liable to need maintenance
We resells only the most reliable brands, reducing your risk of encountering problems. Replacement parts may be more difficult to find if the model is no longer manufactured, and local dealers may be unable to continue supporting a lift long-term for this reason.
A Used Lift Must Match Up With the Attributes in Your Home:
- Same side of the stairs
- Same length of track
- Riders' physical size and capabilities
