A great buy

We were initially a bit hesitant about making the decision to purchase, but we’re so glad we did. The process with Acorn Stairlifts was fast and efficient, and the stair chair itself is a great product — smooth, reliable, and easy to use.

The customer service was excellent and very reassuring throughout. It’s actually been a surprisingly positive experience, and knowing it helps prevent accidents has already felt like a huge saving in potential medical costs. It’s given us peace of mind and, unexpectedly, has even been a bit of fun to use. Highly recommended!

I am 100% satisfied with my chairlift

I am 100% satisfied with my chairlift. The installation was installed in one day and handed over. My outdoor staircase is a complex one having the 1st flight up to the main house with a small landing, turning up the 2nd flight to the flat. That's were I am living. The chairlift has 5 different bends. I can stop the chair on the landing at the main house and go into the house.

Thank you for exceptional

Thank you for exceptional, outstanding service. From Salome who answered my call and thousands of questions I asked, to the installer of our chairlift Louie. His workmanship is of excellent standards.
I want to thank the entire team for giving my husband and I the opportunity to still get up and down our double storey home. Our outside chairlift has been an absolute game changer for my husband to be independent getting into our home. I would highly recommend this company.

Great service

Great service. I like how they have offered to help put a hand rail to aid in movement since the electronic swivel is not an option at the moment. Yolande, Devano and Sylvester were great from the start. Highly recommend.

competent and professional company

From the start in finding a company online and to the professional and swift reaction of Salome in Cape Town,with swift reactions to my questions and requirements, i was stunned as to how fast I was able to choose and make an appointment for Durban from Germany,
The whole process was seamless and completed by a
competent professional, Louis Helberg and his team mate within a few hours, now making the life of my 90 year old mother a much more pleasant one.
A perfect solution for bedrooms upstairs!

Just for the record

Just for the record, in my previous review I only submitted written comments. Unfortunately, I did not fill in the star rating which was set at 3 stars, which I missed. But I would like to correct that with this review. Chris is extremely helpful, obliging and obviously takes great pride in his work. A pleasure to deal with someone like him and a great testament to your company to have him represent you. Again today, he dealt with our query with effeciency and dedication.
