Home Elevators: Going Up

Reviewed by:

The Elevette is an elevator designed for homes and buildings with limited space. The elevator's interior (the car) is offered in several finishes, and with custom flooring, lighting and more.

The car's opening can be positioned on one, two or three sides. Built-in safety devices and battery back-ups (in case of power failure) make this unit as safe as commercial elevators.

The Elevette is available in custom dimensions.

Installed price with two stops for two floors is approximately $17,500 (January 2006).
