Carex Health Brands Hinged Elongated Toilet Seat Riser, Adds 3.5 Inches of Height to Toilet, 300 Pound Weight Capacity, Raised Toilet Seat, White (FGB32100 0000)

This replaces a larger older plastic raised toilet seat and boy is this an improvement. The old raised toilet seat had a screw in the front that I would scrape my leg on when getting out of the shower, and it was too high for me, and a nightmare to clean. Also there was no lid. I wish I had replaced that horrible one earlier with this one - my toilet is no longer a huge ugly eyesore but looks more like a normal toilet since you can use a normal toilet seat and lid on top of it. It was as easy to install as a toilet seat and once you secure the bolts, making sure they are very tightened, it does not move around. The height is perfect so I don't hurt my knees. The hinge design makes it easy to clean the toilet. This is excellent. Update: Still pleased with this, but it is not as strong as I had hoped. The top of this now has a dent & crack in it caused by one of the plastic seat bumpers on the normal toilet seat placed above it. It still works well and the dent isn't visible except when I clean the toilet, but I am betting I will have to replace this in a year or two.

Best in its class. Was easy to install. Needed this after my hip surgery.

Good extra height. Has tendency to slide on to let even after screwed in but works great like able to raise for cleaning.

This item arrived on time. It was package so that arrived in perfect condition. The riser was easy to install and will low safe use and easy cleaning. It's attractive and fully functional. Thank you.

So easy to install, easy to clean and care for. Makes it much easier to get on and off the toilet. We are so pleased with this purchase.

It is as if this item was never "field" tested. The item itself appears to be well made. Once you attach it to a toilet bowl, the problems manifest themselves. The nuts/bolts holding the riser to the bowl are steel. Steel nuts in water are never a good idea. The nuts and washers (supplied) are flat thus preventing centering of the bolt in the toilet bowl holes. I found some old plastic conical shaped nuts that did this centering job. Again, the steel bolts are a potential problem where they pass through the holes in the toilet bowl. Because of the height of the riser (length of the bolts), it is somewhat unsteady even when tightened. This slight movement could chip or crack the toilet bowl (I shimmed the holes with pieces of rubber hose to cut down the movement of the bolts and to prevent the steel on porcelain situation). Additionally, all toilet seats that are to be attached to the riser to complete the installation are not made with the same diameter as the supplied attaching bolts nor the same mode of attachment. Be sure to select a toilet seat that has the correct diameter hole to handle the supplied attaching bolt or be prepared to do some drilling and modification of the toilet seat as I did. Also, due to the slot on either side of the lower portion of the riser extending all the way across the bottom or lower part of the riser, there can be waste leakage across and around the rim of the toilet bowl. This could have been prevented for the most part if the slot had been designed as an indentation to assist in lifting the riser for cleaning. This slot also exacerbates the cleaning process as it adds more nooks and crannies. Unfortunately, the riser cannot be moved as far forward as it should be to make a better fit to the front of the toilet bowl. This problem has no solution I can imagine due to the thickness of the material used in construction of the riser. The fact that it only comes in a four-inch class was disheartening. A two-inch riser would provide an option as not all toilets are built to the same height. All-in-all, this riser does beat attaching a rope to the toilet user for aid with extraction.

The "Carex Health Brands Hinged Elongated Toilet Seat Riser, Adds 3.5 Inches of Height to Toilet, 300 Pound Weight Capacity, Raised Toilet Seat, White (FGB32100 0000)" works GREAT with the "Medline Toilet Handle Safety Rail, Grab Bar for Bathroom, 26" to 31" Adjustable Height, 250-lb. Capacity, Aluminum". I had ordered both hoping that the bolts that come with the Carex Toilet Seat Riser would be long enough to fit the Medline Grab Bar, the Riser, and my current several-years-old toilet seat and lid. Fit great! with even bolt length to spare! Easy to install. The hardest part was removing the bolts from my toilet seat itself. My husband cannot put weight on one of his legs while a leg fracture heals. All three are very sturdy and provide necessary weight support for my husband to use.

Makes using the toilet much easier for people with knee mobility problems. I would give this 5 stars but found that I also had to change the toilet seat as the bolts supplied with the riser did not work with the toilet seat. If you tighten the replacement (longer) bolts supplied, they spread the arms of the toilet seat hinge, and the bolt covers would not close. I view this as a design defect in the toilet seat.

excellent

I had the other raised toilet seat that was not hinged. Worked great except the plastic tabs to hold the seat stationary were a nuisance and the toilet was a chore to clean. Finally one of the tabs broke. I had to replace, so I noticed this hinged seat, bought and installed, plus I could use my original toilet seat too. Awesome buy because now I can lift the raised seat to clean the seat and the toilet. Good purchase and comfortable. So, if you have knee issues or other issues that makes it difficult for you to get up from low toilets, then, buy this hinged raised toilet seat and solve your problem. Oh yeah, very easy to install.

I had vvv bad experience with this product. The product is not secured at the hinge with any screw but has a small knob which just snap if one shifts on the side, Would not recommend to anyone specially old or one with disabilities.

Necesitaba un asiento más alto por una operación de cadera y este asiento se adaptó muy bien Ahora que requiero de otro, dicen que no lo tienen por el momento, no aparece el proveedor, sin embargo si lo tienen en otro anuncio peto con un precio mucho mayor. Quisiera lis datos del proveedor para saber si sólo lo subieron de precio (cuesta 3 veces más caro)

I hurt my knees and the muscle in the top front of each thigh. Using the washroom with my regular height toilet seat was torture getting down and up again. Every small bit of progress I was making being confined to the couch was being lost every time I had to used the washroom. There's no way I could wait to buy a tall toilet and get it installed (or afford that 10 times higher price). Someone suggested this riser idea so I took a chance and ordered the one that seemed right for me. It arrived very quickly, it was a breeze to install (and I'm not that steady on my feet right now !). I'm not re-injuring myself every time I use the washroom anymore. Once my injury is healed I'll remove the riser again and tuck it away until I need it again. It's been a real help.
