MedPro Homecare Commode Chair with Adjustable Height, Convenient and Safer Toilet Alternative, Durable and Rust Resistant, 7 Height Adjustments, Molded Plastic Armrests, Gray, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

I bought this for my elderly mother so that she would not have to maneuver her walker down the hall to the bathroom multiple times in the middle of the night. I was just hoping she would be willing to use it at night for safety and convenience, but I feared she'd reject it on sight. Turns out she likes it so much she uses it during the day! In fact, she only goes down the hall to her bathroom when she wants to brush her teeth or take a shower. This commode is VERY sturdy and stable and the hand rails are at just the right height for her to get herself up and down. I did not realize it would come with such a sturdy bucket with a lid; I was expecting an open hospital style basin. I also wasn't expecting sample liners with gel pads to absorb liquid. I didn't know those even existed! The first few days I took the whole bucket outside to tie up the bag and dump it, but there is absolutely no leakage, so it's easy to just tie up the bag and take that out by itself. I did some searching and found a different brand of liners/pads which was MUCH less expensive than the brand supplied with this chair and everything is working great. Every day my mother comments on how much she likes not having to trek all the way down the hall with her walker. I can't recommend this highly enough!Update: I noticed the negative reviews about this being too small and flimsy. Please note that my mom is 4' 10" and weighs 100 lbs. It's PLENTY sturdy for her.

About a year ago my mother hurt herself in the master "super" shower we had. After six-weeks in hospital and various rehab/physical therapy centers she was able to come home. Initially we were using this so it would be easy for her to get on and off the toilet. When she came home we moved her to a different bedroom with a bathroom which had a regular walk-in shower. Once she strong enough to be able to get on and off the toilet with her own strength we put this in shower for her to use. We'had the product for over a year now. It is very sturdy, very easy to assemble and if needed to adjust.

My 89-year-old husband is recovering from spinal surgery and has poor balance. This chair has been a godsend in helping him regain his ability to use the toilet without assistance. Quickly, we dispensed with the pot and use it over the toilet, taking advantage of the higher seat and side supports. The unit is just stable enough -- my husband can push up on the arms, then uses the sink counter on one side and a high grab bar on the other to get himself standing and steady. He is pretty skinny at 5'10" and 150 lbs, so I can't offer advice to a larger person.

For the money this is worth it, however, if sturdiness is your chief concern, this is not it. The unit is good for someone steady on their feet, but not a non-walking person. The bucket/seat setup is nice. The bucket has a handle and lid for easy removal. The seat has a lid to cover up. I would purchase it again if I wanted it for camping, etc.

i bought this to replace a raised screw on type toilet seat (that always wobbled) for my dad. I placed it right over the toilet (w/o bucket) and he said that he is now able to use the bathroom by himself and because of the how sturdy it is with the high arms - he can stand up by himself. He is much happier Dad now, gaining some privacy and independance. If anyone needs to use the bathroom you can slide it out of the way very easily. If things changed we can use this in his room, with the bucket inserted, I also purchased pads and bags for the bucket - just in case. This is a product offers flexibility of how you want to use it, adjustable legs, high arms and sturdiness. After 1 month of use we are very happy with it.

My wife just had a knee replacement and this product works great for her situation, great value and quick shipping. Well built. Would recommend.

Great commode. Sturdy and adjustable. So great we ordered a second to replace the raised toilet seat with arms that we had. So much more comfortable and having the adjustable height made it much better for a shorter person that may not want a full 5" of lift that a raised toilet seat gives you. Tried a Drive brand, but it was inferior to this MedPro brand. Would highly recommend this Medpro commode..

Foot Surgery this was a must & Scooter a must for two solid months, very easy to use and put together as my bathroom was not user friendly for scooter and crutch to use the toilet, not high enough and too close to tube. this was light plus very stable I'm 6 1 and 188lbs
