Considerations
While the Companion 1100 Straight Stairlift provides essential features, it might lack some of the advanced options and functionalities found in higher-end models.
The Companion 1100 might have limited options for customization compared to more advanced models, which could impact its suitability for users with specific needs.
The seating and padding of the Companion 1100 might not provide the same level of comfort as more advanced models, especially during longer rides.
While Companion stairlifts are generally reliable, the more basic nature of the Companion 1100 might require more frequent maintenance over time compared to more advanced models.
