Testimonials

Hoorah the lift is ours!!! Thanks for doing such a good job, we are absolutely thrilled with the lift and it has made a huge difference to our lives.

David & Jenny Eastwood

I first was made aware of Powerglide Elevators at the Christchurch Home Show as I was looking to fit a lift in our 2 level home. We had looked at another unit that was imported, but after speaking with Powerglide I realised that their product, which was designed and manufactured in NZ, would be a much better choice! Powerglide Elevators were able to manufacture and install my lift within my time frames, the quality of the finished product exceeded my expectations, and they were a great company to deal with. They communicated well, did what they said they would and did it on time. I would not hesitate in recommending Powerglide Elevators to anyone who is looking to fit an elevator into their home.

The team at Powerglide really listened to what our requirements were for our elevator in our new dream home. We wanted to make the elevator one of the features of our entrance foyer, family room and upstairs landing. We thought outside the square with glazed entry doors to the lift car and feature windows upstairs to capture our water views. We had very high expectations on what was going to be visible no matter which floor the elevator car was on due to all the glass. 

The Powerglide team came up with an amazing finish – wherever you look the finished result is like buying a pedigree Bentley motor car. Everyone that has been to our new home is blown away by the elevator and can't wait to have a ride. 

We are so impressed with Powerglide that we will have them design another elevator in one of our new projects – an apartment complex on Papamoa Beach. We can't wait to get started.

I really am glad I chose a Powerglide Elevator for my home. It gets used a lot, so having the speed a Powerglide elevator is renowned for is really beneficial.

The service I received from Powerglide Elevators was brilliant. They couldn't have been more obliging and made sure I was completely satisfied all the way. They still keep in touch to make sure everything is going well.

The lift is, in several ways, is central to the success of our new home... I would happily recommend Powerglide to anyone interested in installing a home lift.

Just thought I’d let you know that the council lift inspector was here on Wednesday. Everything was fine but I was pleased to hear when he told me that in his opinion Powerglide was one of the best lifts on the market.

Thank you for a quality build and installation of our S-Series home elevator. We have very much enjoyed working with the company and found it very easy to communicate with everyone involved. It was very easy to change our minds re the colour and we appreciated the very quick overnight delivery of the samples. Similarly too our unannounced visit to and tour of the factory. We would especial[y like to mention the professionalism of Axle. His hard work and the long hours he put into the installation was very much appreciated. Despite a technical malfunction he returned to the site, over 4 hours drive away, full of apologies and immediately set to work to rectify the problem. We would definitely recommend Powerglide to others. Thank you all again.
