New or Used Stair Lifts: Which Is the Better Choice?
When exploring the market for stair lifts, you're likely to encounter mostly new models, but some used options may also be available. How do these choices differ, and what are the potential risks of purchasing a used stair lift?
Customization and Fit
Every stair lift is designed with a track tailored to a specific staircase. This means a used stair lift might not fit if the track was customized for a different staircase. While you can trim a longer track, extending a shorter one isn’t possible. So, ensure compatibility before considering a used option.
Warranty Considerations
A significant drawback of buying a used stair lift is the lack of a comprehensive warranty. Unlike new models, which come with full factory warranties providing peace of mind and financial protection for repairs, used lifts often offer limited or no warranties. This lack of coverage could lead to unexpected expenses if repairs are needed.
Price Differences
While used stair lifts generally cost less than new ones, the price gap might not be substantial. Depending on the brand, you might find that a used stair lift from one company costs as much as a new model from another. In some cases, the price difference between a used and new stair lift of the same brand might only be around two hundred dollars.
Final Thoughts
When considering a stair lift, reliability and peace of mind are crucial. New stair lifts offer more dependable performance and are backed by warranties. Given the potential issues with used models, such as track fitting and lack of warranty, investing in a new stair lift is often the smarter choice.
Ultimately, while saving money is a valid concern, the long-term benefits of a new stair lift?"including assurance and reliability?"make it a worthwhile investment.
