North American Health and Wellness JB4349 Deluxe Toilet Safety Aid for Elderly and Disabled People

Bob S: Works very well, strong when weight distributed over both handles. Also, easy to put together and very light making it easy to move away from commode for cleaning, very helpful for helping sit down and stand up. Very happy with this helpful support product.

Mike S.: Needed something to help my dad get on and off the toilet. Everything we saw attached to the toilet itself and I was worried that the weight and force he used would eventually crack the porcelain. This sits in front of the toilet and kind of wraps around it. It has worked great for almost a year now for him. Only complaint is that when putting it together, some of the bolts were too long and would have been a hazard to cut his legs if I hadn't done some creative engineering with them.

Michael Frost: Great product. I have been nursing a bad foot (crushed calcaneus with two surgeries) since Dec 2012. This device has been very helpful. You do have to remember, though, that it is not anchored to anything, meaning you can tip it over. Great product, easy to assemble, and does the job for me. I am a big man (300 lbs) and the support has held up fine.

D. B.D. B.: This has been a real knee-saver. It works even better than I thought it would. I have it partly on a rug, so it can be made to wobble, but it doesn't wobble at all when I'm actually using it. I weigh 200 lbs and I feel very well supported. I think wobbling would only be a problem if one isn't using equal arm pressure to raise or lower oneself.

My husband (who is not the handy-man type) had no problems putting it together. He said the screws were a little long, but I didn't notice. For us it didn't matter because our toilet is in an alcove. We decided not to use the magazine rack. It was a bit flimsy looking.

I just wish I had thought of getting it sooner.

P. Cangelosi: Yes, it assists a person by offering a place to put your hands and almost acts like a second pair of steady, sturdy hands helping to lift you to a total standing position. If you put your hands on top on the foam part of the handles an apply the pressure of your weight in a downward motion it works really well and assists you in standing up. It works with different types of weight too. You cannot pull the arm handles towards your body from a seated position and expect it to magically lift as you cannot put all weight on one side. Logically, you're trying to tip it in some way. People say it tips and it's not sturdy...well first are you applying you body weight on the device properly and second the thing is not bolted to the ground. The device as a whole is not super, super heavy but its NOT plastic, it's metal. It stays on the ground and again if used properly, it helps. With MS it helps and with arthritis in the knee it helps my Mom that's all I truly know from expeiences. Dad said the top screws were a little too long and he had to get shorter ones at Home Depot (nickels and dimes). The rest came fine and using a philips screwdriver took very little time...
