Looks as if the wife's going to be needing one soon. Our stairs are a straight run of 4m x
13 steps and power is available at the top so should be straight-forward to fit. Anyone got any views on which make to go for? I've only just started looking but google's thrown up Acorn, Stannah, Bison, Brooks, Minivator, Platinum, and Meditek so far.Options appear to be to buy from manufacturer direct or via a referrer site, or buy used from a refurbisher or off eBay etc. A quick look at eBay shows quite a few at around 1/5 the new price but mainly buyer collect so that considerably reduces the availability.
I guess I want to know about convenience of use and any reliability, installation, maintenance issues. If I go for an eBay 'buyer collects', how do I go about finding a courier that will fetch a 4m long rail? though I suspect the rail will split into 2 x 2m lengths.
