Summary: 4 Stars
I have MS and have a hard time getting up from the toilet when there is nothing to grab ahold of. This product works great! No more struggling to hold on to anything other than the bars on the Medline. This is one of the best products I have ever purchased.Product Review: Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
Very easy to install. Most helpful when used with a chair height toilet. The handrails make it easy to get up especially when a person is using a walker.Product Review: Helpful but not perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
Installation is simple but awkward in a small space. It was a strain to lean over the toilet so long to tighten the bolts. The legs are not as stationary as I would have liked. They move the most in the outer position. The rails are strong and the height is easy to adjust. I do like the fact that you can lift the feet off of the floor for cleaning.Product Review: Higher than described... too high for me
Summary: 3 Stars
The description says the height range is 24" - 29". In fact, it's 28" - 32". That makes the rails uncomfortably high for me, even at the minimum 28" setting. I am not short: about 5'10"; but it's hard to get any leverage from these rails when trying to stand up.
Carex makes a set of rails that are 2 inches shorter than these, and work well for me. Should have gotten those instead of these.
Another reviewer warned about the error in the product description, but it didn't register, unfortunately.
Another difference between these and the Carex rails is the handgrip material: Medline uses hard plastic, while Carex uses firm foam rubber. The rubber is a lot more comfortable on the hands, but the plastic probably is easier to keep clean.
Both brands are very well made, very solid. Actually, except for the height and handgrips, they're virtually identical, as though they came off the same production line.
If I can find shorter rails, I'll return the Medline product.
