How does the price comparison at Aroundhome.de work?
Aroundhome.de queries various criteria and details about the desired stairlift. This information is then forwarded to the suppliers of stairlifts. Based on the questions, the provider knows whether the stairlift is to be used outdoors or indoors. The provider also learns initial details about the structural situation (single-family house or apartment building, one or more stairs, straight or curved stairs).
Subsequently, the interested party can specify whether he wants to purchase a new or a used stairlift. Rental offers are also taken into account. If a care degree is present and a financial promotion by the care insurance is possible through this, this can also already be indicated. If the stairlift is to be financed, the offerers receive this information already in advance. All this information can already be taken into account when comparing prices.
With which costs one must count?
Roughly, it can be said that the prices for new stairlifts start at about 3,000 €. For this you get a simple seat lift for a short and straight staircase. Seat lifts for curved stairs are significantly more expensive. Because of the necessary individual adjustments, they cost from about 9,000 €. Seat lifts for outdoor use are more expensive than for indoor use. Comfort extras, such as an electrically rotating seat, also cost extra. More expensive than seat lifts are platform lifts or lifting platforms for wheelchair users. They usually cost from 8,000 €. The price depends on the height to be overcome and various other factors. The result of the price comparison can therefore vary greatly from one individual to another.
How to reduce the price?
Since the cost of a new stairlift is very high, many prospective buyers are looking for ways to lower the price. One such way is to buy a used stairlift. You can save up to 50 percent compared to new prices. Another option is to rent the stairlift. The rent offers itself in particular if the stair lift is needed only temporarily.

What about subsidies?
Prospective customers can specify in the stairlift price comparison of Aroundhome.de, whether a care degree is available.

Offerers, who are informed by Aroundhome.de about the interest, can plan this subsidy from the outset into their offer. If financing is also required, this can also be taken into account when comparing prices.
