Our Take
The Brooks Superglide 120 is a slimline straight stairlift, now discontinued but still found reconditioned. It suits straight staircases and carries users up to 127 kg (20 stone). Moreover, its budget-friendly design made it a popular choice.
Benefits
Affordability
The Brooks Superglide 120 was known for good value. As a result, it gave a cost-effective route to safe stair access.
Compact Design
The slim rail and folding seat save space. Because of that, others can still use the stairs freely.
Reliability
The Superglide has a dependable, durable build. Therefore, it delivers safe, consistent performance.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they keep each ride secure.
Customisable Options
Although fairly basic, it still offered some choices. For example, you could adjust a few settings to suit you.
Considerations
The seat and padding are simpler than on newer lifts. As a result, longer rides may feel less cushioned.
Its basic design can also need more frequent servicing over time.
Other Models to Consider
The Brooks Superglide 120 Slimline Straight is one of several straight-rail options worth considering side by side. 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. A home survey will confirm the best fit.

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.
