Our Take

The Access BDD Homeglide is a compact, discreet straight stairlift that offers a stylish yet affordable way to get up and down the stairs. It carries up to 136kg (21 stone). Below, we set out the main benefits of the Access BDD Homeglide, along with a few points to weigh up before you buy.

Benefits

Ease of Installation

The Homeglide fixes to your straight staircase, not the wall. As a result, most homes need no building work, and fitting is quick.

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.

Smooth and Quiet Operation

The lift runs quietly and glides smoothly along the rail. Consequently the ride feels gentle, with no sudden jolts.

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 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

It’s worth weighing the Access BDD Homeglide Straight against a few similar straight-stair lifts. 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. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
