Our Take


With one of the slimmest straight stairlift tracks on the market, the Handicare 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 Handicare 1000 is known for its straightforward and quick installation process, requiring minimal structural modifications to your staircase.

Compact Design

The Handicare 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

The Handicare 1000 is equipped with safety features such as seatbelts, sensors, and a swivel seat, ensuring a secure and safe user experience.

Customizable Options

Handicare 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 Handicare 1000 provides essential features but lacks premium advanced options. Customization choices are limited for users with specific accessibility requirements.

The seat offers less comfort than advanced models during longer periods of use. While generally reliable, this basic model requires more frequent maintenance than premium stairlifts.
