Benefits

Compact Design
It features a slim and compact design, allowing for maximum space on the staircase for other users.

Customizable Options
While more basic, the Brooks 120 Superglide might offer some customization options to better suit users’ preferences and needs.
Considerations
The seating and padding of the Brooks 120 Superglide might not provide the same level of comfort as more advanced models, particularly during longer rides.
While Brooks stairlifts are generally reliable, the more basic nature of the Brooks 120 Superglide might require more frequent maintenance over time compared to more advanced models.

Manufacturer
From it’s emergence in the early 1970’s, Brooks Stairlifts has steadily gained recognition as a reputable player in the mobility industry. Over the years, their dedication to crafting reliable, safe, and user-friendly Stairlifts has led to the development of an extensive product lineup catering to both straight and curved staircases. An important chapter in their history was the acquisition by ACORN, a leading name in the stairlift industry known for their innovative approach and commitment to customer satisfaction. This acquisition marked a significant milestone, allowing Brooks Stairlifts to leverage ACORN’s expertise and resources to further advance their product offerings and accessibility solutions. These days Acorn and Brooks Stairlifts are largely the same product. Acorn sell directly to the public as Acorn and through their dealer network as Brooks.
