Reconditioned disabled stair lifts – what to look for

New disabled stair lifts can be expensive. This has resulted in people exploring the reconditioned market. Interest in reconditioned disabled chair lifts has been further fuelled by auction sites such as eBay.

Reconditioned disabled stair lifts often pop up on eBay for prices as low as £150. These disabled chairlifts, though, tend to have missing parts and are very old. Imagine you’ve bought a new house and are stuck with a disabled stairlift – it’s so much easier to put it on eBay than to face removal and disposal of the disabled stair lift yourself.

If you’re a reconditioned disabled lift buyer, however, you could be faced with some tricky problems. Like who is going to install the stair lift?

Remember that safety is vital with handicap chair lifts and there have been several accidents in the news caused by badly installed handicap stair lifts. When you buy a reconditioned disabled stairlift from eBay, you know nothing about its history or safety, and neither does the installer, so he can offer no guarantees. You might want to consider where you’ll find spare parts and people to maintain your disabled stairlift, too.

All the available information indicates that the best place to buy a reconditioned disabled stairlift is from an independent retailer like UK Stairlifts, who will offer advice and give a competitive quote. The little extra you’ll pay over a disabled stair-lift bought on eBay will be worth it in the long run – if only in terms of peace of mind.
