A Heavy Duty Straight Stairlift Built for 30 Stone

The Bruno Elite straight (model SRE-2010) is a heavy duty stairlift for straight staircases, rated by Bruno UK for users up to 30 stone (190 kg). Bruno specialises in heavy duty lifts, and the Elite has a sturdy carriage and an optional larger seat.

Unlike many stairlifts that only charge at the ends of the rail, the Elite straight charges wherever it stops, so you can park it anywhere on the stairs.

What Owners Say

Bruno has thousands of owner reviews (4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot and on ConsumerAffairs), though most come from the United States and many do not name the Elite model.

  • Praised: a sturdy, smooth ride, solid build quality and professional installation.
  • Criticised: the lift can feel slow, safety beeps annoy some users, and a minority report faults with waits for parts.
  • Mixed: price, with some owners saying it was worth it and others finding it expensive.
