Our Take
The Companion 1000 Straight Stairlift has one of the slimmest tracks on the market. It fits straight staircases and carries users up to 137 kg (21.5 stone). Moreover, the low-intrusion rail keeps your stairs looking open.
Benefits
Ease of Installation
Fitting is quick and simple. Because it needs only minor changes to your stairs, most installs finish in one visit.
Compact Design
The ultra-slim track barely intrudes on the staircase. As a result, others can still use the stairs with ease.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The lift runs quietly and smoothly from step to step. Therefore, every journey feels calm and comfortable.
Safety Features
A seatbelt, sensors and a swivel seat come as standard. Together, they help you get on and off safely.
Customisable Options
Companion also offers extras, including a perch seat option. For example, you can adjust the seat height and choose the upholstery.
Considerations
It covers the essentials but lacks some premium options. As a result, its customisation is more limited.
The seat is also plainer than on top models, so longer rides feel less cushioned. It can need more frequent servicing too.
Other Models to Consider
It’s worth weighing the Companion 1000 Straight against a few similar straight-stair lifts. The Platinum Horizon Plus Straight folds slimmer at 340mm for tighter stairs and the Platinum Horizon Straight is rated to 127kg, while the DeVi Up Straight is a close match on size and capacity. A home survey will confirm the best fit.
