Easy and effective

You need to check occasionally to make sure the suction is still working. They are very easy to install and helpful when a grab bar is needed and you don't want to drill holes in the wall. We have them in our bath tub. We also used them ON the entry door for help getting up the stairs.

Works Well

Suction wears off with age, could be the surface of suction cup gets stiffer with age when exposed to water over period of time, otherwise it's dependable and offers some safety for the elderly without having to drill additional holes in tile to add new safety bars.

Secure and reliable

It's secure if you follow the installment instructions. Throughly clean the designated attachment area. I wiped the area down with alcohol to ensure that there was no cleaning chemical left. As noted on the grab bar, it is not intended for a person's full weight. It is intended for aiding with stability when getting into or being in the shower/tub and it works well for that purpose. As with any product of this type, you should routinely check the suction grip. I remove it when I clean the shower, then attach it again. I purchased a few grab bars that were a security risk because they didn't attach firmly on the fiberglass wall. This one is secure, reliable. My husband has alzheimer and stability problems. He weighs nearly 250, 5'9" tall and this grab bar works well for him. I actually have 3 bars in the shower. One to support him when he has to step over the side of the tub, another one near the faucet because he has to lean over to turn the water on, and one on the side wall to use while he takes his shower. I also have a tub mat to keep him from slipping. As with anyone with alzheimer, I suggest frequently reminding them to not put all their weight on the suction bars. If they have to put all their weight on the bars it would be best to use bars that firmly screw into the walls. Just an opinion, but I wouldn't use any suction type of grab bar for kids. They could potentially pull out on it and suffer serious injury. I recommend this grab bar for anyone who just needs secure assistance with stability. My tub is a molded fiberglass unit and this bar can securely suction to it. Be advised, many bars are not recommended for fiberglass surfaces.

Stopped working

This was great for about a week. The bottom suction would change from green (secured) to red (not secure) constantly. Every time I got in the shower I had to have someone re-suction the bottom part. Not sure why it won't stay but it made me very nervous to use as I have mobility and balance issues. Looking for other options now.

Not great on tiled walls

The handle probably works great on a slick, flat wall, but on our tiled shower wall it falls off if you moderately pull on it, totally defeating the purpose. We ended up having metal grab rails installed instead, as these handles are just not meant to be relied on. Its very easy to stick on the wall however, and can be put back up in seconds when/if it falls off, so it has that going for it.

Worked great for a couple months, then slowly worse until now it falls off sponaneously

First few months it worked great. Then it fell off overnight. Cleaned the wall and the suction cups with alcohol, dried carefully no lint or dust, stuck it back on. Lasted another couple months. One cup let go, reattached it, was ok for a while. Repeat but slightly and more more often, sometimes just one, sometimes both would let go. After about a full year, maybe a bit more, only one suction cup would hold. The other let go within minutes if not immediately. Long story short, it's good for about a year, but you can't depend on it for more than slight balance help. Any pulling on it might cause it to fail at any time, even with it attached perfectly. The locking mechanism seems to work fine, it's the suction cup itself that fails.

Great suction

A plus for the showers when you need an extra grab handle and a spot that you used to not have great for seniors or someone that is stability compromised.

Stays in place very well.

When attached properly it stays firmly attached to shower wall.

Not OT approved

I'm an Occupational Therapist and thought I'd take a chance on these despite knowing the risks with suction cup grab bars (but sometimes you just cant adapt a bathroom otherwise). Got these intended to be used on glass in a shower (suction should be great right??). Prepped the surface and secured the tabs. Green indicators showed good suction. I trialed a sit-stand transfer using probably 20 lbs of force maximum and one of the suction cups popped off. Repeated several times on different surfaces and same result. I definitely would not be recommending these and returned to go back to the drawing board.

Works As Intended

This is the 2nd time I bought this product having liked it so much the first time. Now I have for each bath / shower in my 2 Bathrooms. It works as intended, holds in place. Not intended to lift you up from a sitting position but it's perfect if you slip or don't want to slip by holding on to it. You can move to a different location in the shower or bath tile area as needed. Very pleased wit this purchase and much cheaper than having a permanent safety bar added since you need to hire someone with a special drill bit to install so it won't crack or break you tile.

It is firm and good support

What you have to do is to wet it first and then attach it very firmly to the shower wall. I had tried a few times and finally it's working. It has been firmly on the wall for a month and it is still very strong for support.

does not work!

bought this for my wife, as she will be having knee surgery and a little bit of help into the shower would go a long way. This product does not stick to the wall as advertised, and if you manage to stick it there, it falls off within 5 minutes!!!!!!!!!! I do not recommend!!!!
