Review (5/5): Counter Points!
I ran across the two reviews below and although I do not normally respond to such attacks on our products these two are bogus enough warrant a reply. Both the reviews below appear to be submitted by "competitors". The one by Mr. Bob Harvey is for sure as he is the owner of a business in Canada that sells stair lifts leads to local suppliers. You can draw your own conclusions on the validity of the reviews however here are the actual facts regarding Ameriglide stair lifts!
All the straight stair lifts offered by AmeriGlide have been designed and manufactured with the express intent of making a stair lift that is so easy to install that any competent handy man can do so by watching and carefully following our installation instructions. All of our stair lifts can be installed by a competent handy man in 3 hours or less.
Some of our competitors, and organizations they belong to, would lead consumers to believe that self-installation of a stair lift could possibly create safety issues. AmeriGlide would suggest that the facts speak for themselves. AmeriGlide has sold over 30,000 straight stair lifts throughout the United States most of which have been installed by the homeowner or a handy man they know. We are pleased to advise all consumers that AmeriGlide has never had a reported case of anyone injured on a stair lift we sold. Zero cases!
We at AmeriGlide would prefer to let the facts speak for themselves. We suspect those that disagree with our position do so for multiple reasons none of which can be supported by facts but rather their desire to protect the "status quo" of the industry. AmeriGlide's mission is to provide quality stair lifts at the most affordable prices with the specific objective of increasing utilization by lower the entry cost for the consumer. That is exactly what we have done over the last ten years.
AmeriGlide management are the initiators of Do It Yourself Stair lift Installation. In 2000, management identified stair lifts as a product that was underutilized in the United States and determined that underutilization was a result of high cost to the consumer. Our objective was to produce and market a stair lift solution that would cost the consumer less than $2,000 thus making resolution of stair accessibility issues affordable. We at AmeriGlide pride ourselves on offering stair lift products that are affordable, safe, easy to install, and undoubtedly the best value in the market. Our customers obviously agree as they have made us the #1 stair lift provider in the United States.
For those of you that prefer we offer nationwide installation of our stair lifts. We believe the consumer is intelligent enough to make the choice that is best suited to their individual needs, skills, and budget.
Please note, AmeriGlide does not recommend or support Do It Yourself Installation of most other manufacturer's stair lifts. We do offer and support DIY installation of some select used stair lifts made by other manufactures.
Thank you,
