Schindler controls compared to Otis controls are as different as Mercedes is to BMW, you really can't compare them on a technical level. Both are good reliable units, both ride well and I'm sure both have there quirks. Either one will work well for ya. Schindler is a little easier to get other companies to repair Otis is extremely tight lipped about there equipment and often try to hinder others from repairing there equipment.

I rode a new Schindler and it rode like shit and was was one of the loudest hydro's I have ever ridden in 20 years. The controller looks like something new as well. I hate to admit it but the Otis hydro's are much quieter.

How about - Only The Idiots Succeed

I don't work for Otis but you can not compare it with Shindler as to reliability, Merc and BMW is not the right comparison. Otis is lot more reliable but you'll pay more for service because you want to see Otis guys servicing it. My opinion is based on 26 years of elevator expirience in USA and I know that Shindler equipment is less expencive than Otis. Dany.
