Stair Lifts are very popular because it is a devise that is used inside their home to mechanically sit in a chair and go up and down the stairs via a lift. They have advanced from the old chain-type drives so they are quiet, attractive, and a one-time investment. If you or someone in your home has difficulty getting up and down the stairs, the lift is an excellent way to offer them independence and allow them to move about the home as they please.

Moreover, you may have a home that has concrete stairs that lead down from your front door outdoors. This can be very challenging for the aging, handicapped, or those that have balance problems. The Stair Lifts can easily be installed to either side of the staircase or then lift you up or down sideways in a smooth motion so there is no jerking while the lift is in operation. This is a huge improvement over some of the earlier drives that were in the lifts several years ago.

In addition, when installing Stair Lifts inside the home, many people worry that it will be an eyesore, but again with the latest advances these lifts fit in very well with any decor and come in different styles so that regardless it fits in well as if it belongs. Moreover, those that can walk up and down the stairs on not hindered from doing so because the lift is off to the side of the staircase, so that both the person using the lift and those that do not need it can use the staircase.

The lifts also come with several very useful features such as obstruction sensors, which mean it detects if something is blocking the path so that the chair comes to a smooth stop rather than trying to run over something in the path and making the ride bumpy and rough, which for people in pain could be very detrimental. Additionally, the lifts come with rechargeable batteries, so that the lift is ready to use whenever you are as the batteries remain charging and then stay charged until the next time you use the lift. Many of the newer lifts also have wireless controls that can make it very useful and convenient to use.

When it comes to the new residential Stair Lifts, you will find that they not only work well, are quiet to use, offer a smooth ride, but they also look nice and fit in well with your decor. What's even more important is it gives you your independence back so that you can do the things you need to on any floor in your home, which of course means that you have freedom regardless of your mobility issues.
