Choose your lift
Which stair lift should you buy?
Start with your staircase shape, then choose the chair and features that work for the rider. A provider must confirm measurements and suitability before you order.
Curved stair lifts
For bends, winding treads, or a continuous ride across a landing. The rail is fitted to the staircase. General pricing: $12,000 and up.
Outdoor stair lifts
For exterior steps. Buy equipment specifically intended for outdoor exposure, not an indoor chair with a cover. General range: $7,500–$10,500.

See the difference
A straight rail or a custom curve?
One straight flight? Compare straight models first.
A straight lift is usually the lower-cost category. Compare the standard seat and manual swivel with powered swivel or footrest options if operating them would be difficult.
Turns or landings? Compare a continuous curved lift.
A curved system can carry the rider around a bend without changing chairs. Two straight lifts may be another proposal for separate flights, but only if transferring between them is suitable for the rider. Compare the full installation, not just the chair price.
Compare curved lift buying options →Buy, recondition, or rent
Choose how to pay for the equipment—not just which chair.
Buy new
Compare the exact model, seat fit, powered options, parts coverage, labor warranty, and service arrangements. New equipment is worth comparing when you expect long-term use or need specific features.
Buy reconditioned
A professionally supplied used straight lift may reduce the initial cost. Ask about the age, battery condition, replacement parts, installation, and written warranty. A used curved rail should not be assumed to fit another home.
Ask about rental
For temporary use, ask whether a suitable straight-lift rental is available. Compare installation, monthly charges, minimum term, maintenance, and removal against a purchase. Rentals and stock are not guaranteed.
Before you order
Features worth comparing
Seat and transfers
Try the seat if possible. Compare height, armrests, controls, belt, and the swivel position at the top landing. Ask which power features are useful for the intended rider.
Space and parking
Compare folded dimensions, rail overrun, and any folding rail needed near a doorway. Confirm the quoted configuration leaves the required space for other stair users.
Warranty and aftercare
Ask who handles installation and later repairs, what parts and labor are covered, and what a call-out or replacement battery costs. Get those terms in writing.
