Questions & Answers
The toilet seat riser is located above the lid of the toilet bowl. There is no need to attach anything.
Yes, it sits on top of your bathroom's toilet seat. Because it's attached to the bottom of the plastic toilet seat, the splash guard isn't supposed to be removed.
The only advantage of this seat, in my opinion, is that the arms are tall and sturdy. This is a useful device if you have trouble rising from a sitting position; otherwise, it has a number of flaws, including a small seat hole and a poorly supported seat. The "funnel" under the seat, which connects the seat to the toilet's opening, is a separate piece screwed to the toilet seat's bottom. It should be one piece with the seat, or there should be a gasket between the seat and the funnel at the very least. Liquid may drip from between the two pieces if one does not aim completely downward. Wiping or even changing alignment with the hole is difficult due to the two arms' close attachment to the sides of the seat. I weigh 165 pounds and stand 5'7" tall. This seat will be too tight for anyone much larger than me. Also, I would advise sitting down carefully, as too much bouncing will most likely cause the screws connecting the seat to the legs to break out of their plastic holes, falling into the toilet and setting-off the alarm. The occupant is in for a wild ride.
It will topple over if someone uses all of their weight to keep one side steady. It has happened to my mother before. I still like the chair; all I have to do now is keep an eye on her as she sits in it.
Selected User Reviews For PCP Raised Toilet Seat and Safety Frame (Two-in-One), Adjustable Rise Height, Secure Elevated Lift Over Bowl, Made in USA, Regular
I'm so glad I chose the PCP raised seat with safety frame after having my hip replaced twelve days ago. I put it in my small utility bathroom right out of the box, with the leg extensions turned on. It's the right size. I've taped a rolled towel to the original seat's lip so that I can (sort of) comfortably lean back to avoid the 90-degree limit recommended by my orthopedic surgeon for my new joint. br> After reading hundreds of reviews on various brands and types, I came to the conclusion that the PCP was the best option for me. br> I've tried it with a comfort height long bowl as well as my standard oval bowl. Both of these options are effective. It can be adjusted to any height with ease. Setting the back legs on notch 3 and the front legs on notch 2 works well for me at 5'7". The highest notch (5) would be appropriate for someone who is extremely tall. br> My bowl opening was 10 1/2" x 13" when I measured it. The PCP measures 8 3/4" x 9 3/4" in size. The splash shield reaches 6 1/2" into the bowl and completely surrounds it. A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ THERE WAS NO SPLASHING OR LEAKAGE IN ANYWHERE. (I double-checked with a black light)br> This device is extremely stable and secure. One reviewer mentioned that she used it as a light, portable shower seat, which I think is a great idea. Great! When I had to make a long phone call, I remembered her. I took the PCP from the bathroom and gratefully sat at the correct height to use the kitchen wall phone. br> When compared to attached models, which require removing the toilet seat and lid and then (ugh) bolting directly to the base, or models that attach to the front lip of the bowl. I am not a fan. What kind of visitor wants to enter a bathroom with a semipermanently raised toilet seat? br> As for the raised toilet seats, there have been numerous complaints about their frightening instability, movement of the seat on the bowl, leaking out the front, unsuitability for grown men to use, and so on. br> As far as I can tell, PCP has the following flaws: (1) One of my legs seemed shorter, so I used a small piece of 1x2" to slip under that foot to level the unit (I'm not an engineer). I've just changed the length of that one leg to a different notch since then. Yes, the PCP is a little more expensive than some, but I would never return this multipurpose seat. If you have visitors, it is very portable and easy to remove from the bathroom and store in a closet. or pack in the car for a trip to see relatives. Trust me! This raised seat with frame cannot be replaced by the newer "comfort height" toilets. (2) For a larger person, the 17" span between the frame handles may be too tight. Isn't it great if someone could create a safe, adjustable frame for people with larger bodies? and even better! Two sizes of PCP are available. That's an excellent suggestion. br> (3) Many customers complained that raised toilets were too confining due to the smaller bowl opening. Even though they're all smaller, I've grown accustomed to them. It is undoubtedly a widespread problem that all manufacturers could address. br> The "wiping" issue, of course. Sitting on a raised seat, there's no way to truly wipe. It may seem strange, but simply stand up and wipe. Flush toilet tissue in the toilet, then wipe with "Costco Baby Wipes" (NO flushing) and place in a small wastebasket to be disposed of later. To keep things tidy, I even use a Costco wipe to wipe down the seat and splash guard.
My mom is returning home from rehab, so I went to set this up this morning. The legs are stained with feces, and the handles are scratched. I'm shocked that I got a used item.
The seat is held together by two small screws that easily tear away from the thin plastic liner. A replacement seat with the liner already attached is apparently available, but it will set you back an additional $20. Because the liner breaking off is a known problem, the company should simply sell a replacement liner for a few dollars. We shouldn't have to spend $20 on an entire seat just to get the liner.
This chair is extremely sturdy and stable, but the arm width is not adjustable, and it is not wide enough to support a 200-pound person. person to sit in a comfortable position In addition, wiping is difficult due to the rounded seat - To use tp, you must stand up.
For a small, cramped space, this is an excellent size safety frame. We had trouble getting a male to stand in front of this seat without wetting the toilet seat. I would have liked it to be a little longer. When it came to sitting on the toilet, however, it was ideal. After removing the splash guard, we mostly used it as a shower seat because the hole in the seat made cleaning the person's bottom with a handheld shower head much easier. When the front legs were set lower than the back legs, the seat tipped slightly lower towards the front, it was the most comfortable to sit on.
I'VE ONLY HAD IT SINCE AUGUST AND THE PLASTIC ON THE LEFT SIDE HAS DETACHED FROM THE SCREW AND NOW JUST HANGS ON THAT SIDE. I TRYED TO SUPER BLUE IT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK! NOT SUITABLE FOR SOMEONE WITH A HIP REPLACEMENT JOINT! I THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST LONGER THAN 4 MONTHS FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE PRODUCT!.
We were pleased because the manufacturer of the chair honored their warranty and promptly shipped a replacement section. They claimed that this was their first time dealing with the issue.
There are no problems with the construction materials' quality. The dimensions shown on Amazon are incorrect, and the width between handles on the sizing chart is 17. The problem with two PCP 7007 units was that the dimensions shown on Amazon are incorrect. 25”. The number 17 is mentioned in the description. 5”. THE REALITY IS THAT IT IS 15. 25” (13% less than previously advertised) The side frames in photographs are vertical. The actual side frames are canted inward, making them 2" wider at the base and narrower between the handles as noted. FOR PATIENTS REHABILITATING FROM HIP REPLACEMENTS, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. On March 17, 2019, Amazon was notified of the situation.
