We have lived in our house for 30 years. I didn't have any problems with the stairs at first, but since 2000 I've noticed that I'm finding it increasingly difficult to manage the 16 steps. In recent years, I've had to fight my way up with all my strength. I always slid down sitting down. Going upstairs to our bedroom was a big challenge every day, especially as our bathroom is on the first floor. But now everything has become much easier.
My Sonilift stairlift makes my everyday life much easier.

My Sonilift stairlift makes my everyday life much easier. My husband visited Sonilift 's main site in August this year to get information and advice. Just one month later, the stairlift was installed in our home, ready for use. The whole process was amazingly quick.
We had already considered moving before. But comparable living space at acceptable prices was not in sight. Alternatives such as installing an elevator proved to be very expensive and time-consuming. When researching a stairlift, we kept coming up against the problem that our stairs did not meet the minimum width requirement. The search for a suitable solution to make our home barrier-free was fruitless. Until we came across Sonilift by chance and were convincedby the innovative ASL technology.
Sonilift ASL-technology
Sonilift's service exceeded all expectations. We were immediately shown all the options and the innovative ASL technology was presented to us in detail. The first visit to the showroom was on a Wednesday, and on Tuesday of the following week, the consultant Mr. Baak came to our home in person for a consultation. After a brief inspection and measurement of the staircase, he informed us that the implementation was feasible. This good news prompted us to spontaneously open a bottle of champagne - it was definitely a moment to celebrate! The joy was so great, because thanks to Sonilift and the new ASL technology, we could actually stay in our house. Within just three weeks of the consultation, the stairlift was swiftly installed within a morning. Everything went impressively smoothly. The process with the health insurance company also went smoothly. With the help of the declaration of assignment, Sonilift took care of all the formalities and everything went smoothly. I was fascinated by the finished result, as I had always assumed that a lift was not possible for our stairs. The decision to try it anyway definitely turned out to be the right one.
The installation of a Sonilift stairlift gave us the opportunity to stay in our familiar home. The thought of what would happen if I was no longer able to manage the stairs at some point was constantly on our minds - an idea that made us feel helpless. We increasingly heard voices from outside encouraging us to look for alternatives. But we are very attached to our home. I hate to leave this place where I always feel comfortable and safe - it's my protective cocoon, so to speak. Also, our neighborhood is really great. We share a lot of time in the garden with young families who bring their small children with them - great fun for us. We have taken on the role of surrogate grandmas and grandpas, and that means a lot to me. People are always considerate here and there is always a parking space for us outside the front door. The neighbors always help us, we just have to let them know. Our house is a quiet place where you can be on your own, but still have the opportunity to have a chat with the neighbors over the fence.
This is my home, where I feel comfortable.
The installation of the stairlift has made me feel even more at home. I'm just happy that I can stay here, that I'm here. This is my home, where I feel completely at ease. Now we've definitely decided that we can grow old here. Thanks to the stairlift, we can now be completely relaxed and leave everything as it is. We can still make alterations or restructure the use of the space at any time. In the past, we were reluctant to make such changes because we couldn't estimate what would happen in the future and whether the investment would pay off in the long term. The stairlift offers us significant added value in our home overall. Our family's reactions to the stairlift were characterized by surprise and amazement. Sceptics doubted its feasibility, while others immediately recognized the positive change. The majority had probably already accepted
All-round carefree service from Sonilift
From now on, I no longer have to worry about climbing stairs. Even on days when my illness is more present and the pain is more intense. The improvement in my quality of life thanks to the stairlift is clearly noticeable. I can rely on it at any time and sit down comfortably. On the first floor, I always park my wheelchair in the bathroom. When the stairlift is downstairs, it turns towards me so that I only have to prepare the seating area to transfer effortlessly. It's easy to operate using the joystick and I can go upstairs in comfort. This functionality has made my daily routine much easier. I now also have the option of changing floors during the day. Something I previously avoided because walking was too strenuous for me. Back then, I postponed everything until the evening when I had to go upstairs anyway. Now I'm totally flexible. I can always take our grandchild upstairs to play if he wants to. In the past, my husband went upstairs with him on his own and I waited downstairs. It's now easy to transport books and other items between the floors. The worry of falling has diminished and I feel safer with the stairlift. Although I've never fallen before, there have been moments when I've thought about what might happen if my strength wanes. If I make a wrong move, my legs could become so soft at that moment that I can no longer hold myself up and collapse. I used to feel a certain fear in situations like that. Now it's gone and my husband no longer has to worry about me when he's away from work for a longer period of time.
After 30 years in their beloved home, the stairs became an ever-increasing challenge.

I trust the lift so much that I sometimes even use it in the dark and feel safe at any height. I simply don't worry any more.

We don't regret the decision to install the stairlift for a moment. Looking back, we would have liked to have had it installed much earlier. The idea of a lift had been on our minds for at least five years. If someone had told us back then that it was technically possible, we would certainly have made the decision earlier. At that time, we often heard people say that a stairlift installation was not feasible for a person 1.80 m tall and with a narrow staircase only 74 cm wide. But Sonilift has proven that it is possible even with these conditions thanks to ASL technology . Sonilift's technology has offered us considerable added value. I am completely satisfied with the Sonilift stairlift and would recommend it without reservation.
Whenever we talk to our circle of friends about any difficulties with movement, we always proudly tell them about our stairlift. I have already recommended investing in a stairlift to a friend of my parents in the past. She has limited mobility. I talked her through how worthwhile the installation would be based on my experience. With a stairlift, she can use a rollator on the upper and lower floors, just like me, and use the elevator for the stairs without having to worry about falling. The great thing about Sonilift is that you can take a close look at everything in the showroom beforehand and take a test drive, while a specialist advisor takes the time to give you individual advice.
