Customer Reviews of Improving Lifestyles Raised Toilet Seat Riser with Arms,fit Inbetween Toilet Bowl and Toilet Seat
Customer Review: need better specifications
Summary: 4 Stars
this item is for regular toilets, and looks of good quality. However toilets come in at least two types, the regular bowl and the elongated bowl. the description of this item did not destinguish for which type of bowl this product is made.
Unfortunately I have and needed a riser for an elongated bowl, for which this product did not fit properly, and I had to return it.
I think that the manufacturer should have either specified the type of bowl it is designed for, or gave the length dimension.
Customer Review: Raising Toilet.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought 2 of these risers for myself and my 86 year old mom. I am tall, and after a few minutes on the low bowl, the back of my legs would "fall asleep". Raising the seat worked like a charm.
My mom found the handles helped her get up from the bowl much easier.
I just wish they were a little longer to fit better on a long bowl. They are really for the shorter bowls.
I wish I thought of buying these a long time ago.
Customer Review: Mom loves it
Summary: 4 Stars
My mom loves her raised toilet seat. She feels much more secure now since she has failing knees and hips and fears falling. Delivery was fast and seat was easy to install.Customer Review: OK but can make toilet cleaning harder
Summary: 3 Stars
This design is reasonably comfortable and useful, but after a while I realized that gunk was building up between the bottom of it and the top of the toilet bowl. You can slip a damp paper towel where the crack is open, but this isn't a longterm solution. A really good cleaning requires unbolting the whole assembly.Customer Review: Shifts out of position with constant use
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the comments about this item before placing my order, and after using it for 3 weeks took if off the bowl. (I purchased it in 2009 for my elderly mother who needs to support herself when sitting down and rising from a seat.) This product is a good visual design idea, but it is not well engineered. #1, there is nothing at the bottom of the seat to stick to the porcelain edge of the bowl and hold it in place (there are 3 pieces of black tape but they don't grip); #2, the bolts are round but the openings at the back through which they're inserted are wide and oblong-shaped, which means that the bolts are not encased by and held tight within the plastic -- and because the bolts are round but the bolt openings are not, the riser (and the toilet seat) moves out of position with day-to-day usage; #3, the large wing nuts that screw onto the bolts from underneath are too large to pass through the crevices behind the bowl's seat and cannot actually be completely tightened against the surface; #4, after I tightened the bolts as much as possible, the front of the riser lifted slightly off the edge and stayed that way; #5, there is no "lip" at the back end of the riser to fit partly inside the bowl and protect the riser's underside from splashings (as would happen with diarrhea).
Money does not fall down from the sky for me and what I spent on this product was a total waste of it.
