Why are stairlifts so slow?
Why are stairlifts so slow? A whole minute to get upstairs is not acceptable for an old person desperate for the toilet.

Much cheaper to have a decent doorbell system that allows you to tell who ever knocked on the door that you are coming. Some of us get real radical and have one that works even if we arent home so we can tell the indivual at the door that we arent home and when we will be home or where to leave what they are bringing. Or tell them that your cant come to the door so they wont break in a loot the place. The demented wear nappys anyway. |

Why are stairlifts so slow?
Actually this question has come up before. The reason I was given many years
ago now, was inertia. IE if it went up fast, it would jolt at the start and end of the run. And if you made it slow down and speed up, then it would probably still take a long time as the distance travelled in the main is a short one, and people are heavy loads to move. I guess one could make a three point seat belt system but by the time you have done it up and undone it, you might as well have been going slower anyway! On the other hand, a commode mounted on a Chairlift might be a good product to make. grin. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Yes, but that’s easy to fix by accelerating and decelerating at the ends. And if you made it slow down and speed up, then it would probably still take a long time as the distance travelled in the main is a short one, and people are heavy loads to move. Nope. It works with electric wheel chairs. I guess one could make a three point seat belt system No need if it goes as fast as a walking person. but by the time you have done it up and undone it, you might as well have been going slower anyway!

With hindsight what I did was quite stupid and I ended up visiting 3 hospitals as a result. The perp, did end up back in jail the next day because he is a jail bird who was out on parole and was back in jail for breach of parole. My stupidity was that I didnt realise that he was a jail bird and well known to the cops. He would have been back in jail if I had just given the video footage to the cops, but I wasnt to know that. |

We did remodle the bathroom before moving in. Best decision for us was to replace the bathtub with just a walk in shower. We only have to step up about 3 inches to get into the shower. We also had a grab bar put in that is screwed into the studs to hold on to. There is a tub upstairs if we want it, but have not used it very much. I never did understand why people would build a house with all the bedrooms upstairs. Fine maybe for the younger, but not the older. With the poms, their houses are so tiny that they don't have any real choice with that, particularly since most are terrace houses. |

If you don't use it, your fault not theirs, so no compensation claim, nothing for them to worry about. And they could even make it disable the motor if you don't fasten the belt. But people have become incredibly illogical too. Ever notice all the obese people wearing masks? Apparently it never occurred to them that being obese was more of a threat than the Wuhan virus? Agreed. Although I've seen nobody in the UK wearing a mask, we don't bother. If they are so afraid of dying, why don't they change their diet and lose some weight? The evidence is clear, metabolically healthy people are largely unaffected by the Wuhan virus. Agreed. When a fat person says they have a medical problem, I just say "Eat. Less. Food." You don't need to change your diet, just eat less of it. Or go for a run or something, it's not rocket science. |

My first house had LR, DR, Kitchen on the first floor, no room for a BR but there were three on the second floor. In the city where land is expensive and limited it is sensible to go up, not out. Oh, laundry was in the basement making it even more fun. Second house was better, this house is perfect, three BR on one floor. |

Depends on the make, if your stairs have corners, how many steps, etc, etc. A minute is close enough. And 37 seconds is still way too much, considering an able bodied person can walk up those stairs in something like 5-10 seconds without running. |

I'm not asking for fast, just say.... walking speed! They all go at some stupidly low speed about half a mile an hour. There's no way anyone would consider double that to be dangerous. A whole minute to get upstairs is not acceptable for an old person desperate for the toilet. Only the demented cant anticipate the need and go earlier. Or anyone who's old. That's bull****. I anticipate that I might need to take a **** or **** before leaving the house and do so before I leave if I need to. And how about to answer the door? Much cheaper to have a decent doorbell system that allows you to tell who ever knocked on the door that you are coming. Some of us get real radical and have one that works even if we arent home so we can tell the indivual at the door that we arent home and when we will be home or where to leave what they are bringing. Or tell them that your cant come to the door so they wont break in a loot the place. The demented wear nappys anyway. It's a wonder that you have any **** left. I want to live in Rod's world. He does EVERYTHING perfect and never has problems. I dont actually. I have just recently been involved in a similar situation as with Arbery, with me in the situation of the father and son. With hindsight what I did was quite stupid and I ended up visiting 3 hospitals as a result. Who is Arbery? The perp, That's a stupid American abbreviation. did end up back in jail the next day because he is a jail bird who was out on parole and was back in jail for breach of parole. My stupidity was that I didnt realise that he was a jail bird and well known to the cops. He would have been back in jail if I had just given the video footage to the cops, but I wasnt to know that. How is it stupid not to know all the jailbirds? |

He does EVERYTHING perfect and never has problems. His way is always the best way. Rod for president! Oh damn, he's not a US citizen. WHEW! He's a geek controlling his life with his phone. It'd be funny if it was dropped, broken, lost, stolen etc. |
