Nicki McClusky –
I was headed for a surgery that required very strict after care….no 90 degree bending (only 30-60), which is required to sit on a regular toilet. We got a bedside commode, but found I couldn’t get off of it without bending. I tried to get off the toilet with help— on one leg— and hurt my ankle and foot badly. So that was out.Fortunately, the physical therapist I saw pre-surgery, listened to my plight and told me that some of her patients had ordered a power lift toilet. I thought it was too expensive. Then, I thought again. My son came and assembled this WONDERFUL power lift toilet commode, and I instantly knew that this would make toileting possible (along with standing and using a female urinal). It has been a GODSEND!!! And it helped us skip over the awful experience of having to empty someone’s bedside commode (that I couldn’t safely use).This power lift toilet commode is worth its weight in gold. You have to recharge its battery, and yet it works on its own for hours. I always want it fully charged so it will work when I need it.The one thing I wish the manufacturers would do is make the ‘on-off’ buttons less difficult to push. They are hard to push, and with me trying not to bend while using my walker before sitting down, this has been quite difficult. Also, it takes huge strength to plug in the battery pack to the cord that is plugged into the wall, and to then re-attach the ‘pack’ to the toilet lift. Way too hard!!! And it’s difficult to do while standing one one leg when I’m supposed to use one arm on the walker. Please make both of these easier!!!!

I am a 62 year old male with IBM. Until I got the Assist I had used toilet risers up to 4″ and still needed help getting off of the toilet. The GentleBoost has given me my independence back and I require NO assistance when using it. Some of the reviews complain about the price, but considering the good quality and the fact that it works, it is hard to put a price on freedom. I don’t use the removable back or the trays that come with it. My shower is an odd shape and too small so my review is only about using the unit over an existing toilet. It will take a bit of getting used to the unit. Aim can be a bit difficult since the pivot bar in the seat is in a somewhat inconvenient location. Height adjustment is important before use since the unit will give 70 lbs of spring force with the remaining weight controlled by the pivot action of the seat. I would not let a feeble older person use this unsupervised. The unit could be considered somewhat portable, but it breaks down into awkward shapes. The hand rails are detachable if you feel through the foam pad and press the release pins. The back and legs are also removable. This unit has changed my life for now. My wife feels at ease going to work knowing I won’t be stranded. She has even scheduled a 6 day trip to visit her mother. It is worth every penny and then some.

Far too expensive, considering it can’t be used for the purpose intended. It is supposed to gift a gentle lift assist to those who need help getting up from the toilet. However, the way it works, the arm bars drop forward, allowing seat to lift. This is incredibly dangerous! Instructions state it shouldn’t be used for people with mobility issues, cognitive deficits or in anyway not independent! In other words, if you need help, don’t use this “helpful” product. The locking mechanism holding the arm rails in place will release with too much pressure placed on them, potentially capitulating your loved one face forward. That prevents you from using it as a comfortable toilet seat without having to worry about the lift part. It doesn’t fit well on either of the toilets in my house. The only way to make it fit over the toilet with seat in a level position, is to extend the legs all the way. However, my mom is 5’5 and her feet don’t reach the floor with the legs fully extended. I would not recommend this purchase. It is dangerous and over priced. It is useless for those who need help.
