Acorn 120 Perch Straight Stairlift

Our Take

The Acorn 120 Perch Straight Stairlift is designed to provide a unique seating option for individuals who might find it uncomfortable or challenging to sit down while using a traditional stairlift. Instead of a traditional seated position, the Perch Stairlift allows the user to remain in a semi-standing position while being securely supported during the ride up or down the stairs. This can be especially helpful for individuals with limited mobility in their hips or knees. The Acorn 120 Perch offers several benefits and considerations to keep in mind:

Benefits

Semi Standing Position

The perch design of the Acorn 120 Perch Stairlift allows users to maintain a semi-standing position, which can be beneficial for individuals who have difficulty sitting or bending their knees.

Compact Design

Perch stairlifts typically have a more compact design compared to traditional seated stairlifts and so they can be fitted to narrow staircases. This compactness can also help save space on the staircase when the lift is not in use.

Smooth and Quiet Operation

The stairlift operates quietly and smoothly, providing a comfortable and enjoyable ride.

Safety Features

The Acorn Perch is equipped with safety features such as seatbelts and sensors ensuring a secure and safe user experience.

Ease of Use

Users may find it easier to get on and off the stairlift in a semi-standing position, making the Acorn 120 Perch Stairlift more accessible for some individuals.

Considerations

While the perch design is suitable for some users, it might not be as comfortable for everyone, especially for longer rides. Users with balance issues might find it challenging to remain steady in a semi-standing position.

The perch design may not be suitable for individuals with certain mobility issues or medical conditions that make a semi-standing position difficult or unsafe.

Specialty designs like the perch stairlift might come at a higher cost than traditional seated models.
