Built for Safety. Every detail of our Rubex electric powered stairlift is designed with your safety in mind. We build safety sensors into the footrest, include a locking mechanism in the seat belt, and give the motor instant reversing capability. With automatic limits at each end of the track, standard mechanical and electrical slack cable safety devices, and a fail-safe mechanism that prevents operation until the seat is in the correct position, this stairlift is one of the safest on the market today. It is ETL listed and meets ASME A17.1 and A18 safety standards for public and private use. We also include call stations for both top and bottom landings, which can be mounted to the wall or to the floor. Read more about AmeriGlide stair lift safety standards.

Easy "Homeowner" Installation. Unbelievably, the AmeriGlide Rubex electric powered stair lift simply plugs into the nearest outlet. No special wiring is needed! You can install it on either the right-hand or left-hand side of your staircase; you can even switch it from side to side without any additional parts.

Sleek Design Compliments Any Decor. The AmeriGlide Rubex electric powered stair lift is available in an attractive almond finish with your choice of vinyl seat color. When not in use, you can easily fold up the padded seat and flip up the footrest and your stair lift only takes up 14 inches of space. It's so compact, other people in your household always have full use of the stairs.

Questions? Contact one of our stair lift experts to find out more about how the Rubex electric powered stair lift fits your life.

The Practical Safety Solution
ChuckMD from Central Maryland would recommend this to a friend.
A Little About Myself	A Safety Conscious Senior and former First Responder
Pros	Very sturdy and well designed with all the practical and basic safety features at a reasonable price.
Cons	A couple of nuts were missing from the channel, probably lost in transit but were available locally at nominal cost.
Service & Delivery	All three boxes were delivered in good shape but literally "dumped on my doorstep". Truck and driver were pulling away by the time I opened the door.
Designed and engineered for successful D.I.Y installation. Instructions and videos were excellent.

Good chair, good price, great installer
Easy Climber from West Coast would recommend this to a friend.
A Little About Myself
Pros	1. Chair is more powerful than same class of other chairs (350lbs vs 300 lbs for others). 2. Easy to use. 3. Priced better than others, but seems to work with less effort and is sturdier. 4. Can be used as a "freight lift" which makes it dual purpose.
Cons	Not as fancy as some others, but the price makes up for that. It's not bad looking, just not "fancy".
Service & Delivery	Delivery was on time. Service installer was great, he had the small parts not shipped with the chair that made the install very professional (small cord brackets etc.
You will lose some stairway width, but you can walk around the chair based on its location so that is not a big deal.
US Medical Supplies replies: Thank you for the review. You're right, the Rubex AC is not the fanciest stair lift, but comes at a great price and easy to install.

A Little About Myself	I'm a 72 year old disabled Vietnam vet (double amputee) and care taker for Ione Masonic LodgeIone

Cons	I guess I already said the cons
Service & Delivery	Delivery was right on time
I will recommend you to anyone , Thank You!
