The Acorn 130 is a straight stairlift built for a single flight of stairs with no turns or landings. Its straightforward design makes it quick to fit.
We supply the Acorn 130 reconditioned: refurbished, safety tested and fitted with a 2-year parts and labour warranty. It carries users up to 20 stone, folds neatly when not in use, and has a seat that swivels at the top of the stairs so you can step off safely onto the landing.
Every price is a starting price that includes installation, VAT and a parts and labour warranty (3 years on new, 2 years on reconditioned). Your exact price depends on your staircase and the options you choose, and we confirm it in writing after a free home survey.

Acorn has a large number of UK reviews (4.8 out of 5 from around 12,000 reviews on Trustpilot at the time of writing). Most reviews cover the company rather than the 130 specifically, but as the 130 is Acorn’s only straight lift, the recurring themes are a fair guide:
