Product Reviews of Medline Toilet Safety Rails
Product Review: Not as Sturdy as Expected
Summary: 3 Stars
Although it seems to work ok so far - it wobbles considerably and our parent if a little 'wary' of it. I don't think it can fall over, but, it definitely wobbles. I think if I were to purchase another one - I would look for something with four legs. It arrived promptly and was easy to install - but, it definitely wiggles and since our parent is heavy - it makes her nervous. She makes sure she hangs onto her regular grab bar when getting up.Product Review: OK if it fits!
Summary: 3 Stars
I returned this item because the specs on the site did not match the item. The specs state arms are min 24in off the floor. In fact the min on the item turns out to be 27.5in, way too high for the short stature person the item was purchased for. The specs on the site also state a 10in range of adjustability. In fact the range is just under 5 inches. If it fit the person I think it would work fine. I do not think this was Amazon's fault. I looked on the manufacturer's site and they had the same specs. I called the manufacturer and they were surprised to learn the item did not match their published specs.Product Review: One size DOES NOT fit all.
Summary: 3 Stars
This will work fine on many standard toilets with a rectangular tank. Mine happens to be on the fancy side with a curved tank, so it would not fit between the tank and seat. I had to cut the bracket holes off and mount the back frame BEHIND the tank. No, it is not as steady, not nearly! It will work (if careful) but certainly not as safely, If you have space between seat mounts and tank it will work fine, but you will need ample room to make it work as intended. They don't really show the mounting plate, it's about 9X4 inches. Make sure you have that 4 inches. You need about 2 inches from the bolts to the back of the tank.
I guess, buy standard boring stuff for your bathroom. Don't think of design, it may not work.
Product Review: Safety Rail Knee Saver
Summary: 5 Stars
This was very easy to install. It has really helped me. Getting up is less stressful for my knees since I have gained so much weight. I would recommend this highly for those who have knee and weight problems. Working on the weight problem will help in the long run.Product Review: Try a 3-in-1 commode instead.
Summary: 3 Stars
I recommend instead a 3-in-1 commode, typically less than $50, as Invacare. They are MUCH more stable than anything bolted onto a toilet. The height makes it easier for users to get down and up. Others can easily move the unit to the side while they use the toilet. Of course, the unit can also be used with its bucket when a bedside commode is needed. Here's an example, although I like the Invacare one better:
