Our Take

The Access BDD Flow 2A is a popular legacy curved stairlift, easy to spot by its slim, modern white tubular rail. It carries up to 125kg (19 stone). Below, we set out the main benefits of the Access BDD Flow 2A, along with a few points to weigh up before you buy.

Benefits

Ease of Installation

The Flow 2A runs on a made-to-measure rail fixed to your stairs, not the wall. As a result, most homes need no building work before fitting.

Compact Design

The slim tubular rail and fold-away seat keep the lift neat and discreet. Therefore other people can still use the stairs with ease.

Smooth and Quiet Operation

The lift runs quietly and glides smoothly around each bend. Consequently the ride stays gentle from the bottom step to the top.

Safety Features

The chair includes a seatbelt and sensors that stop the lift if it meets an obstruction. In addition, the seat swivels and locks at the top, so you can step off safely.

Considerations

This is a legacy model, so newer curved lifts may offer more up-to-date features. It is worth comparing it with the current range before you decide.

As with any curved lift, the rail is made to order, which adds to the cost. Check the fit on your staircase during the home survey.

Other Models to Consider

For a curved staircase like the Access BDD Flow 2A Curved suits, a few other made-to-measure lifts are worth comparing. The Access BDD Flow X Curved is a close match on size and capacity and the Companion 2000 Curved is rated to 115kg, while the Otolift Modul-Air Curved is a close match on size and capacity.
