Leaf Home Stair Lift Reviews 1.550

We requested a contract for a stair lift for my 87 year old father. Initially, the salesman was a nice guy. However, he over sold the stair lift. He indicated that the stairlift they offered was made "in a production facility purchased by leaf home from Harmar in Sarasota." I asked which Harmar lift they were offering, and they said it was their brand. I asked which model it was, and was met with crickets. I asked that the contract spell out that the stairlift was indeed manufactured in the old Harmar facility, and was met with crickets. I asked for a model number to be entered on the invoice, and was met with crickets.

I found out that Harmar still owns the production facility in sarasota, and asked for a salesperson. Interestingly, they indicated that Harmar has not sold the facility, they still manufacture their own lifts, and the price was $3,000.00 less than Leaf Home. If you are going to get a stair lift, get one from someone who is not telling stories to make a sale.

we have had the leaf stair lift for about 4 months. we have needed help 3 times when the device would not function and the manual failed to provide the solution. the service department has only answered calls during normal working hours but my wife, who has Parkensons, cannot be stuck on an upper level of the house. the Leaf company has not "emergency" service 24/7 which creates a danger for my wife's mobility

The chair lift made by Harmer may be a good product. I don't know as it does not work. The lift worked 1 time when the installer was here. The very next time we went to use it, it would not work. Repeated calls over 2 weeks elicited zero response from the company. I could get no further than the person answering the phone. No one called me back despite assurances they would. Managers were always "busy" or "on another line" or "in a meeting". I wonder what the response would be if my disabled wife were stuck in the basement for the past 2 weeks. Should mention that the salesman came to my house the very day I called to inquire - the VERY SAME DAY. However, they have dragged their feet for 2 weeks in coming to fix what they sold me.

I had an excellent sales meeting with David Brenner (Pleasantville, NJ offices of Leaf Home Solutions) - he was very knowledgeable about the product as well as options available from other vendors. We were interested in a lift for our mother's home. While budgetary considerations did not result in a purchase of the product, I wanted to express my appreciation for David's honest and knowledgeable sales approach.

The sales person used very high pressure tactics to sell this product.
Was very rehearsed and robot like. Was not personable at all.
I was not impressed with the sales person putting down his competitors.
I felt he was just at our house to sell the lift.
The impression I did get from this person was poor customer relations and immediately was turned off by his sales pitch. I didn't like the idea of him assuming we would by from this company. When he was told we had other companies we were meeting with for several other estimates. The sales person did get a little testy. The meeting was ended when we ask him to leave,
I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Great experience from start to finish! The sales and installation teams were knowledgeable and efficient, and they gave us clear instructions for use and upkeep. We’re very happy with it!

we had a stair chair installed which was not an easy install for the fact it has two landings and a corner turn ...... it presented problems which they fixed promptly , and now my wife who is disabled now has independence back and we couldn't be happier about that ...... thank you to the installers and the customer service for taking care of our needs

The installation of the stair lift was good, but a month later it quit working after it was accidentally unplugged. My 90 year old dad called hq who said they would let the manager/scheduler know so they could get someone out here to fix it. We got no response that entire week. The following week (Sept 29) I called hq and was told that since we unplugged it, the warranty would not cover the new battery we needed. We would need to pay for that, but they'd try to get us a special deal. The next day I called hq back to say, "That makes no sense; power outages happen here all the time. It was only unplugged for at most 3 days, on a 1-month old chair." Hq said they would have the manager/scheduler call us. I've been calling every day from Sept 29th until October 6th - hq, the manager/scheduler, the installer - and I've been told the same thing every time - "That sounds frustrating. We'll let the manager/scheduler know." My dad has balance issues and is struggling to go up and down the stairs every day, so yeah it's frustrating to pay $7,360 for the stair lift and it be unusable.
The day after writing the above, my brother called insistently and talked with the scheduler/manager, who said that if the lift is without power for 48 hours while the toggle button is in the on position, it will kill the battery, and that the battery isn't covered by the warranty. Also we learned that we'll need to replace the battery every 1- 2 years anyway. Finally we were told that a new battery costs $20 to $30. For the past 2 1/2 weeks I had assumed a new battery would be more in the $300-$500 range, like ebike batteries. I wish it hadn't taken over 2 weeks of trying to communicate with Leaf to figure this out. Seems to me this battery drain situation, is a lousy design, esp if you have housemates, family, neighbors, children, friends, or anyone who might be in your house needing to use an outlet.

We compared Leaf Home to Bruno and Acorn. Leaf Home is more expensive, but the components seem to be better constructed, the lifetime warranty is better than Acorn (1 year), and there is no requirement to pay for an annual maintenance plan (Acorn and Bruno). Our lift was installed the same week we ordered it and it works great.

Fast paced high pressure sales
Tried to charge $9,000.00 for a straight stairlift
Way overpriced
The rep got nasty once I told him that my mom needed time to think and get other estimates . He ended the appointment .
The other weird thing was the reps shirt and vehicle said Leaf Filter ???
He told me Leaf filter owned the stairlift company Harmar???
That wasn’t true
Very weird that a gutter company selling medical equipment .
At least train the sales reps correctly .

Can you come over to my house tomorrow morning please Linda drive Greensburg 214

We did not buy this product, but I feel like I must comment on our experience during the sales pitch. First of all, the prices that we got were far and away more expensive than other companies. I must say that the representative that came to our home was a lovey young man. I know he was only doing what he was trained to do. The quotes started out exceedingly high, more than twice as much as other companies. When we hesitated the salesman called his boss who continued to drop the price which was still very high. Then when I asked to have time to think it over and talk to each other, we were told that the price was only good for a matter of minutes. This seemed like a very bad business practice.the only reason we gave one star is because we knew that the person that was sent to our home was following his bosses protocol. We will definitely go with a different company

The installatiom of my stair lift was completed in a very professional manner. The installer, Malique, did an excellent job and was very pleasant to work with. I would not hesitate to work with Malique again. The installation was done in a timely manner. He cleaned everything up upon completion. I was extremely pleased with every aspect of my purchase. Thank you!!!!

Saturday it stopped and left me near the bottom of the stairs. I had to crawl up the stairs. The tech came out today and fixed (Lucille) my stairlift. I'm happy, happy, happy. Thanks Leaf Home.

This company/sales team should be ashamed of themselves. The sold my dad an $8,000 chair lift that goes to his basement that he does not need access to. He was with the salesperson and I happened to call him and explained to the salesperson that he has no need to go in his basement. He is and has been in poor health and can barely get around. It’s not like he needs to get to his bedroom up the stairs or anything. So he sold him this lift, which has been used three times in the last year and a half. And he mortgaged it for 15 years with 8% financing. My dad is now in hospice and we are supposed to pay off this useless equipment? Ridiculous.

I'm happy to pick Leafhome safety solutions to have a stairlift THE salesman Billy Howard who sold me the stairlift was the most nicest and caring guy to do business with! He explained very well to me how the product was made and he gave me some discounts to help with the sale to me.I was very happy about the price ! The installer was very nice and polite to me while he was installing the product and answered all my questions. He had installed everything in a timely matter and was great at cleaning up his mess. Also he came on time to install. I would recommend having Leaf Home Solutions help getting their products and also service your products as well.Very nice people to deal with!

This place dies not know anything about how to treat a customer!! Charged me $150 to come out and plug in a stairlift. I talked to the repairman before he came out, told him my stairlift was beeping but it worked fine. You think he would've told me to check the plug he didn't, he came out plugged it in, then I was charged $150

WELL THE INSTALLER I HAD CAME IN GOT TO WORK AND WAS FINISHED IN AN HOUR.

Nice looking install, well built, should last many years.
Is a lot better way to get for me get upstairs

Installation went very smooth and quickly.
