When we think about stairlifts, the first thing that comes to mind is often an elderly person.
While there is no doubt that stairlifts are a safe solution for seniors who struggle with stairs, the necessity of a stairlift is not just limited to seniors.
From cancer patients that struggle to stand after exhausting chemotherapy, let alone climb stairs, to people suffering from debilitating back pain, stair lifts are helpful to a much larger demographic of people than most may realize.
This is why Acorn Stairlifts is constantly innovating new ways to improve the user experience of our stairlifts so that they are simple to use, straightforward, and stress-free for anyone and everyone.
Read on to learn about the different options Acorn offers to comfortably control your stairlift in a way that makes your experience easy and enjoyable.
Acorn Stairlift’s Remote Control Option
Every model of an Acorn stairlift includes a remote control that directs the movement of your stairlift.
How Does an Acorn Stairlift Remote Control Work?
There are two buttons on an Acorn Stairlifts remote: a button with an arrow pointing upwards and a button with an arrow pointing downwards.
Simply click the up arrow to move upwards and the down arrow to move downwards.
This is not a trick—It really is that easy. At Acorn, we believe that the user experience should always be simple and stress-free.
Acorn always aims for our chairlifts to boost your confidence and provide better peace of mind—Never cause any unnecessary confusion or frustration.
What If I Lose My Remote-Control and How Do I Get a Replacement?
No need to worry! We understand that things happen.
Whether your remote is lost or broken, Acorn makes it easy to receive a replacement.
All you have to do is log in to your Acorn Club account and select the tab that says “Contact.”
From there, you can either click on “General Contact” or “Breakdown Visit.” In the blank text box, you can then type out your request for a replacement remote.

Acorn Stairlift’s Chair Control Option
Every Acorn stairlift is equipped with built-in toggles on both armrests that control the movement of your stairlift.
How Do the Chair Controls on an Acorn Stairlift Work?
Each arm of the stairlift carriage has a large paddle control, which allows you to move the stairlift at the lightest touch.
Simply move the paddle in the direction you wish to travel, using whichever hand is easiest, and off you go. Release it, and you’ll come to a smooth stop.
Pretty simple, right? At Acorn Stairlifts, we strive to design all of our products to be intuitive and user-friendly, all while simultaneously keeping up with the latest technology trends.
