Bruno Elite Straight Stairlift
Our Take
The Bruno Elite Straight Stairlift is a high-performance, heavy-capacity indoor model. It carries up to 181kg (28 stone), making it one of the sturdiest lifts for straight stairs. Below, we set out the main benefits of the Bruno Elite Straight Stairlift, along with a point to weigh up before you buy.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
The Elite fixes to your straight staircase, not the wall. As a result, most homes need no building work, and fitting is quick.
Compact Design
Despite its strength, the seat and footrest fold away neatly when the lift is parked. Therefore other people can still use the stairs with ease.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The Elite runs quietly and glides smoothly along the rail. Consequently the ride feels gentle, even for a heavier user.
Safety Features
The chair includes a seatbelt and sensors that stop the lift if it meets an obstruction. In addition, the seat swivels and locks at the top, so you can step off safely.
Customizable Options
The Elite offers adjustable comfort settings to suit you. For example, you can change the seat height and footrest height for the best fit.
Considerations
The Elite suits many people, but it may not be right for those with more complex mobility needs. Therefore it is worth getting a home assessment before you decide.
Other Models to Consider
For a straight staircase like the Bruno Elite Straight fits, a few other lifts are worth comparing. The Meditek D160 Deluxe Straight is rated to 160kg and the Platinum Horizon Plus Straight folds slimmer at 340mm for tighter stairs, while the Companion 1000 Straight is a close match on size and capacity. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
