This sleek and stylish stair lift has many features that with keep you safe and comfortable while going up and down your stairs. The already ultra-compact stair lift was designed to make restoring accessibility to your multi-level home as convenient and easy as possible. Now, it is even better! Homeowners with exceptionally narrow stair cases will love the ultra-thin design of this stair lift. The lift unit takes up only slightly more than 11 inches when folded, allowing others in your home optimal access to the stairs. The AmeriGlide Rave 2 is built for durability, with a tough all-metal case construction that withstands normal wear-and-tear far better than other comparable stair lift brands.
The AmeriGlide Rave 2 differs from many of our competitors' stair lift units in that the track attaches to the stairs themselves rather than the wall, and every point of contact uses a single bracket, making installation easier. The AmeriGlide Rave 2 is compatible with any standard 120V household power outlet, and the battery that powers the unit charges at the top or bottom of the track, providing a reserve of power that keeps your stair lift going even in the event of a power outage. An arm-mounted operation switch is included as a standard feature, along with AmeriGlide's standard array of safety switches that prevent the lift from operating if an obstruction blocks your path. The seat swivels at the top, away from the steps, so the rider can safely exit or enter the stair lift.
Best of all, the AmeriGlide Rave 2 lift is assembled in the USA, which means quality you can depend on.
For stair lift users that want a safe, comfortable, reliable, and easy to install solution: look no further than the AmeriGlide Rave 2! To order, contact our mobility specialists today!
Thank you, with winter on us, my mother doesn't have to trek around the house outside with her walker. She is very tired when she has to scuffle in both directions.

Pros
Easy to install, easy to use, quite, creates a much safer assent and descent on the stairs.
Cons
Be nice if the chair would rotate in both directions, to help with mounting at the top of the stairs, and to help un-mount at the bottom of the stairs. You must disembark facing up the stairs, then rotate and hold on to stairs and wall to turn and finish by having to navigate two to three steps to the bottom.
This is a great stair lift. As an architect with 35 years experience, I completely agree with Ameriglide's position that these stair lifts should remain a DIY installation. They are well-engineered for ease of installation and have built-in safeguards to prevent any malfunction. I looked at other brands, but they required permits and professional installation.....both time consuming and costly (over twice as much money!). In my profession, I've witnessed the growth of entitlements, under the guise of consumer safety, for many years. Too often, these only serve to fuel the growth of building department bureaucracy (and income stream), with little real gain for the public. Ameriglide, keep up the good fight to preserve affordability and accessibility for all Americans.

Thank you for the review Ryan! Couldn't have said it better ourselves!
I purchased this unit for my wife. With good instructions, it would have been pretty easy to install. This has been a chief complaint in the reviews. I purchased this unit 6 months ago and still the manual is showing the old Rack & Pinion gears and says you must oil them. The instructions are vague and lacking. This is an excellent product. Why not provide an excellent Installation Manual to go with it? Having said all this, I plan to purchase another one. Thankfully I will know how to install it.

Pros
Good quality construction.
Good appearance.
Smooth operation.
Telephone help ( You will need it)
Great warranty.
Cons
Horrible Installation Instructions. Be sure to read the return information BEFORE you buy.
Being a 30 year old trapped inside a 75 year old body, I found the parts, rails, chassis and chair much heavier than expected. It was very difficult for me to self-install. It took three days with several bumps in the road causing me to disassemble and reassemble. If I had it to do over again, I would pay the extra money for installation. Do not use the download manual version from the AmeriGlide site! Use the installation manual included in the shipment.
Here's the good news. AmeriGlide has Harmar Summit, LLC of Lake Winnabago, MO build the Rave for them. What you're really purchasing is a $4K Harmar Pinnacle SL600 worm and gear system. It's far superior to the Bruno Elite and the heavy duty Acorn. You'll find an installation video posted on YouTube. Go to the site and search for "Harmar Pinnacle Stair Lifts - Installation Stairlift." This is very helpful, but makes it look easier than it is to self-install.

Not as young as I use to be.
Pros
The RAVE works as well as the literature described. You get a lot more than you pay for.
Cons
Self-installation is not as easy as the manual and video make it seem.
Service & Delivery
The four boxes arrived when expected. FedEx tracking site kept me up to date as the shipment went from Lake Winnabago to Kansas City to Atlanta, to Athens, GA. No shipping damage problems.
I had a great experience with the whole process. Somewhere in the instructions it would be nice to know there is a fudge factor in the measurements. Although, we were told by someone at the company we were over thinking it, which is good to know. Rocket science it is not.

A Little About Myself
It's all in the details for me.
Pros
We loved being able to do it ourselves. Everyone we talked to at Ameriglide was very helpful during the whole process. If I e-mailed a question, I received an answer within minutes.
Cons
The difference in the download version of the instructions vs the instructions that came with the products was different, but we talked to someone at the company and they set us straight. A broken down labeled schematic of the parts would have been very helpful.
Service & Delivery
Fantastic service and delivered shortly after we ordered it.
My Mom fell and broke her hip - she was worried about climbing the stairs in her house. I sent a web request on Sunday afternoon and a sales person called me within ten minutes and answered all my questions. Next Saturday morning I had it installed before Mom got home. She sat right down and started using it right away and no adjustments were necessary. My Mom and everyone else in the family are happy and sleep better knowing she can get up and down the stairs safely.
