AmeriLuck 12" Suction Grab Bar with Indicators for Safe Balance Assistance in the Bathroom or Shower

Marnie: These grab bars are very helpful to help steady a person in the shower. We were unsure how long an injury would take to repair and these grab bars have been a great help getting in and out of the shower. It is true that we are not putting our full weight on these bars, but they are helpful if you are dizzy or have trouble stepping up or down. You need to watch the suction indicator and if it is red, the bar needs to be reapplied. However, as someone else mentioned, a coating of petroleum jelly really helps lengthen the holding period. One real benefit of these bars is that you can change where they are located in response to what the patient finds the most helpful. In other words, even if you are going to permanently apply bars, these bars can help you try out multiple areas and ensure that you find the best place for you.

Bluemoon333: If you need stability getting in and out of the shower this item works very well. On a smooth surface the suction cups adhere very tightly and the indicators are a good addition to let you know it is on as tight as it can be. Follow the directions to clean the surface, open the latches and apply pressure to the handle until you see the green buttons on the indicators and flip the latches back down. This can be used in the vertical or horizontal position depending on the application. This is a great product for stability but if you need a true grab bar to support or help pull your body weight, get a product that is mounted securely to the surface with anchor screws.

IreneinSC: Great price and delivery time. Very easy to install, just snap into place. Great suction. I had surgery in January, both legs, and wanted a little security when showering. I have a fiberglass shower stall, and installed one on each side of stall about 1.5 months ago. I check every time I shower, give it a good pull to check how secure it is, and it has never budged. It Is just some added security as I’m not 100% stable on my feet.

Kindle CustomerKindle Customer: In the description of this item, it says the following: "PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY - For getting sufficient suction power to work, 1)✔ This Suction Grab Bar only works on tile size LARGER THAN 4"x4". This is not correct...it will NOT work on tiles slightly larger than 4"x4" as advertized. Because of the size of each suction cup. ONE of the suction cups can be attached to a 4 3/8" x 4 3/8" tile...but, because of the spacing between the two suction cups, you CAN'T attach the second suction cup with these same tiles such that the second suction cup is not on grout (see FIGURE 1). It appears that the actual minimum tile size that would allow you to attach this suction grab bar is 6" x 6" (see Figure 2 in which two pieces of paper were cut to be 6"x6" with a 1/16" gap for grout; this photo demostrates that 6"x6" tiles can be used). This part will be returned for a refund because it doesn't work as advertized and can't be used in our bathroom.

Freddy J: I love these grab bars. Two things to keep in mind, they are difficult to install so that they stay up for a long time - you need to be really strong which I no longer am. Fortunately I live in a building with staff who puts them up for me. Secondly, they do not last forever even if you clean the suction cups when they fall off the shower wall and they will fall off the shower wall at some point. Don't forget they are not nailed to the wall. Suction only lasts so long. You should be mindful of their limits when you use them. I would not put all my weight on them or use them to pull myself up. I use them for balance in the shower. They are excellent for that - use them with a light touch.
