Customer Reviews of Medline Bathtub Bar, Locks to Side of Tub
Customer Review: Mostly metal, with rubberized pieces that really grip the walls of the tub. But slippery metal top.
Summary: 5 Stars
You can read the other reviews telling you about whether or not this bathtub bar will fit your tub and, if it will, how sturdy it is.
I just thought I would mention that after buying the product, I decided that it was just too likely that, with wet/soapy hands, I might lose my grip on the device when getting out of the tub. So I purchased some bicycle handlebar tape and wrapped it around the entire metal handle. The particular handlebar tape that I used was this:
Stella Azzurra Eleganza Tape
You could use other less expensive handlebar tape for the same purpose.
By the way, I placed the bathtub bar (on the outside tub wall, of course) midway between the head and foot of the tub. I put it there so the device could be easily reached irrespective of whether I am getting up from a bath or stepping out after a shower.
Customer Review: Just what we were looking for.
Summary: 5 Stars
We needed something to assist my elderly mother who is living with us. My children use the same bathroom, so I needed something strong but relatively unobtrusive. This bar is very sturdy and very well made, as other reviews have mentioned. However, it only fit on the narrowest part of the side of our bathtub (the middle). Measure your bathtub before you order--it will only fit 6" wide, not the 7" in the description. If it will fit your tub, it is a perfect product: It is easy to install and remove and will not mar your tub. It does not interfere with our shower curtain configuration--liner on the inside of the tub, curtain on the outside. I did a lot of research before I purchased, and I am very pleased with this product.Customer Review: Exactly what we needed for my visiting dad.
Summary: 5 Stars
My father came to visit and I was looking for a few products that would make his time here a little more comfortable. My father only recently became incapacitated, so I'm new to what products are available. This was one the the items I selected. And it was a great decision. It installed in less than a minute. No great strength or tools are necessary for the installation. And it's easily moveable if it's in the way of anybody. If you feel you need two handrails to hold onto, then you can easily install two. Much cheaper than a professional alternative. And because of it's size and durability, it can safely travel with you. I gave it to my dad for when he travels anywhere. This is a great idea, and it's super sturdy.Customer Review: Easy and Rock Solid
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an easy solution when getting out of the tub is difficult. There is no assembly involved; the bar comes out of the box ready to go on the side of the tub and a few turns of the handle have it ready to use. We got this for use when my mother-in-law came to visit, and it has the added advantage of being removable when not needed. I was impressed with how securely it held on to the side of the tub..not a wobble. Do, however, measure your tub before ordering to make sure it will fit. I am very satisfied, a simple and easy solution to our problem.Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am gearing up for knee surgery and bought this item to help me in the shower. It clamps easily to the tub and is very sturdy. I like the fact that I do not have to install a permanent rail in my limited tub/shower space. An added advantage that I did not expect is that I can adjust the position of the bathtub bar in such a way that it will also help me to get up from the toilet, eliminating the need to buy toilet safety rails. I am very pleased with this product. And service was amazing--it arrived in four days with super-saver shipping.
