Our Take
The Acorn Superglide 120 is a slimline straight stairlift, now discontinued but still available reconditioned. It fits straight staircases and supports users up to 127 kg (20 stone). Moreover, it earned a following for its low price.
Benefits
Affordability
The Acorn Superglide 120 offered strong value for money. As a result, it opened up safe stair access on a smaller budget.
Compact Design
The slim rail and folding seat save space. Because of that, the family can still use the stairs freely.
Reliability
The Superglide has a sturdy, dependable build. Therefore, it gives steady, consistent performance day to day.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they keep each ride secure.
Customisable Options
Though fairly basic, it still gave you some choice. For example, you could adjust a few settings to suit you.
Considerations
The seat and padding are plainer than on newer lifts. As a result, longer rides may feel less cushioned.
Its simpler design can also mean more frequent servicing over time.
Other Models to Consider
If the Acorn Superglide 120 Slimline Straight suits your straight stairs, these comparable lifts are worth a look. The Acorn 130 T700 Straight is a close match on size and capacity and the Bespoke Synergy Straight folds slimmer at 295mm for tighter stairs, while the Companion 950 Straight folds slimmer at 285mm for tighter stairs.
