Our Take

The Access BDD Homeglide Extra is a straight stairlift that builds on the standard Homeglide with a few added features. It keeps the same stylish, affordable feel and carries up to 136kg (21 stone). Below, we set out the main benefits of the Access BDD Homeglide Extra, along with a few points to weigh up before you buy.

Benefits

Ease of Use

Simple paddle controls make the lift easy to operate. As a result, most people feel confident using it from the very first trip.

Compact Design

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

Ergonomics

The Extra adds a more supportive, comfortable seat than the standard model. Consequently longer trips up and down feel easier on the body.

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

The Homeglide Extra is designed for straight staircases only. For a stair with bends, you would need a curved model instead.

As with any stairlift, check the folded width leaves room for others to pass. Measure the staircase before you order.

Other Models to Consider

For a straight staircase like the Access BDD Homeglide Extra Straight fits, a few other lifts are worth comparing. The Bruno Elan Straight folds slimmer at 305mm for tighter stairs and the TK Home Solutions Levant Comfort Straight is rated to 125kg, while the DeVi Up Straight is a close match on size and capacity.
