Pfft … Acorns Stairlifts …. con artists. Just found this site/page, and am at moment in process of sending strong letter of complaint to get them to buy back a stairlift fitted in my late mothers home. The salesman stated verbally, which btw, is a legal contract, they would buy it back if anything happened to her, after her death i read the small print and it states We Do Not Buy the Goods BACK … we’ll see, Trading Standards, Newspapers here we come, let’s see how Acorn like the pressure being put on THEM

Not related to Acorn but it’s still a stairlift advert. I just want to say that I’m fucking sick of those annoying Stannah Stairlift ads. There are two different ads. First we have this one where the person fitting the stairlift asks for measurements of the guy and says he’s 6ft. Then he stands on his fucking tip toes while mentioning a damp patch which the wife looks at. This begs the question, if you can stand on your tip toes then WHY DO YOU NEED A FUCKING STAIRLIFT?!

The second ad has this annoying woman baking cakes for someone who’s come to put in a stairlift. “You’re in luck, you caught me right in the middle of baking!” FUCK OFF!

Acorn are a bunch of crooks. – They rip-off old people for a fortune for stair-lifts and then when they break down within a week they pressure sell them insurance to have it repaired! When I say insurance – I mean £2000 for what they should have under statutory rights anyway. The salesman was so pushy on the phone to my uncle he had a heart attack. I hope they rot in hell.

The best place to look for stair lifts, its the leader in quality stair lifts manufacturing and the option to choose according to needs make it a destination of returning customers for stair lifts, easy payment options and quality products are its forte.

Channel Five and ITV1 have too many breaks during their Saturday afternoon programmes, and show the same adverts, too!

We installed one of these stairlifts for our gran, she is 128 and needs help, so we cleaned her bank account out and had it installed.

£24,000 it cost, first time gran used it it broke and she was left in the chair halfway up the stairs for 2 weeks before anyone noticed.

What a way to go! Rotting in your own piss and shit.

We sent it back and got a full refund though, so it wasnt all bad

I fear Mr Reaper that you are flogging a dead horse looking for customers here. The other side has it all sewn up. Led Zeppelin even wrote a song about it many years ago…Stairlift to Heaven.

Very funny comment by Mr A Reaper esq above made me laugh. Perhaps a little harsh. You could maybe lead the way with this new idea Mr A Reaper esq the next time you malfunction. By the way the advert above is bloody terrible, ask yourself this: who in the right mind would make a advert like this. You couldnt make an advert this bad if you tried

Not only does the old fella get off the chair pretty sharpish, he also starts pacing around in the hallway. He’s the very model of vigour and vim – yet he needs a chair to get downstairs?

But the worst of it is that it positively encourages kids to play around with scarves and bannisters….

I disagree with the comment above, I’m a little busy at the moment what with one thing and another going on in Asia and I’m not sure I could handle the extra trade. Frankly I’m surprised that Mr Reaper is being so greedy with business as good as it is at the moment.

we need to grow up as a species and take all the old people and have them destroyed as we do with all the other animals on this planet…..if a horse has a broken leg we destroy it..so we should do the same with the old folk….all they do is piss and shit themselves all day and they are such a drain on the NHS and then also there would then be more resources and space for the young ones….so come on acorn when you install your next chair lift make sure you wire the fucker up to the mains so that you can fry the old fucker…..
