With one of the slimmest straight stairlift tracks on the market, the Companion 1000 offers minimal track intrusion into the staircase together with several other benefits but there are some considerations to keep in mind:
Benefits
Ease of Installation
The Companion 1000 is known for its straightforward and quick installation process, requiring minimal structural modifications to your staircase.
Compact Design
The Companion 1000 Straight Stairlift is known for its slim and compact design, which helps save space on the staircase and keeps it less obstructive when not in use.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
The stairlift operates quietly and smoothly, providing a comfortable and enjoyable ride.
Safety Features
Seatbelts, sensors, and a swivel seat on the Companion 1000 ensure a secure and safe ride.
Customizable Options
Companion offers various customization options (like a Perch Seat option) to cater to individual needs, including seat height adjustments, choice of upholstery, and additional accessories.
Considerations
The Companion 1000 offers essential features but lacks advanced options found in premium models. Its customization options are limited, which may not suit users with specific accessibility needs.
The seating provides less comfort than advanced models, particularly during extended periods of use. While reliable, its basic design may require more frequent maintenance compared to higher-end stairlifts.
