Our Take
The Brooks 130 T700 is a best-selling straight stairlift for everyday use. It suits straight staircases and supports users up to 127 kg (20 stone). Moreover, a slim rail and folding seat leave the stairs clear for the rest of the household.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
Fitting is quick and low-fuss. Because it needs only small changes to your stairs, engineers usually finish in one visit.
Compact Design
The compact rail and fold-away seat save space. As a result, others can pass on the stairs with ease.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift glides quietly from step to step. Therefore, every trip up or down feels relaxed.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you step off safely at the top.
Customisable Options
Brooks also lets you tailor it. For example, you can set the seat height, choose the upholstery and add extras.
Considerations
The Brooks 130 T700 fits straight staircases only. For a curved staircase, look instead at the Brooks 180 Curved Stairlift.
Its gear rack also sits on top of the rail, so it stays exposed. As a result, it needs regular cleaning to avoid service problems.
Other Models to Consider
For a straight staircase like the Brooks 130 T700 Straight fits, a few other lifts are worth comparing. The Acorn Superglide 120 Slimline Straight is a close match on size and capacity and the Platinum Horizon Straight has a wider 340mm folded footprint, while the Bespoke Synergy Straight is a close match on size and capacity. 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.
