Customer Reviews

Great alternative to renting.

I happen to have Amazon Prime, so I got free shipping on this -- so I already got a great deal on this, only paying like $45 with tax.

It did arrive slightly damaged. Several pieces from the bucket and lid were cracked -- but just around the edges of the top -- so it was still generally useable. Amazon did not fill up the box with tons of air balloons like they usually do to keep the commode secure in the box (by the way -- it is shipped assembled!). We decided not to return it because we could sit the bucket underneath just fine on the floor - and it was for emergencies anyway. But we did look at it and the plastic was pretty heavy duty -- it was just how Amazon happened to package and ship it, unfortunately.

The bucket is small enough that you can dump it right into your own toilet and clean it out in your tub or a utility sink. The seat is shaped like a regular toilet seat, so no uncomfortable substitutes. It is wide enough that an adult can turn while getting on/off in a relatively comfortable fashion -- and there are arm rests with grips to give you a hand on both sides, too.

Now that my dad is gone, we're going to hang onto it and use it for my toilet training 19 month old daughter.

EXCELLENT FOR HOME CARE!

THIS MEDLINE COMMODE PROVED INVALUABLE FOR MY PATIENT STRICKEN WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS WHO NEEDED THIS FOR HELP WITH THE PREP FOR A COLONOSCOPY. FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS DIFFICULTY RISING IN AND OUT OF BED,
THIS WAS A GODSEND SINCE I CONVINCED HIM TO GET THIS LAST MINUTE. THANKS TO AMAZON PRIME, IT CAME THE NEXT DAY AS PROMISED. UNFORTUNATELY,AMAZON DOESN'T LIKE TO GIVE OUT ITS 800 NUMBER TO CALL TO TRY AND TRACK IT! IT IS; 1-800-201-7575!!! LUCKILY, I WAS JUST COMING BACK FROM DR APPT WITH PATIENT AND MET FED-EX! THE COMMODE IS FULLY ASSEMBLED=POP ON THE SEAT, ADJUST THE LEGS, THAT'S IT! GOES UP VERY HIGH TO VERY LOW! VERY STURDY!! LOOK NO FURTHER--NO BETTER MODEL AT A BETTER PRICE ANYWHERE!!

This item is terrific. I am remodeling my bathroom and have to use the guest bathroom which has a very modern, low commode. I have two metal knees and arthritis and can't get up from very low places. This item arrived the next day after ordering, using "Prime" and it was already put together, all I had to do was snap on the seat and back. Well made and so helpful. I am a retired nurse and I must have seen and handled thousands of portable commodes. This feels and looks like one of the best. Would recommend.

Good product at a good price

My sister and brother-in-law's house only has a bathroom on their second floor and the basement. I am unable to use stairs. I purchased this commode and it worked out very nicely. The only complaint would be the splash guard on the bucket. When it was emptied this would get in the way of it emptying completely.

Commode works great!

My wife and I purchased the commode when we visited our son and daughter in law. They did not have a bathroom on the second floor and we wanted something for night time so we would not have to go up and down the steps. It worked like a charm and was very stable. No problems as it was just like a regular toilet with seat and lid. It comes with a cover for the bucket if you need to use it. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Excellent product and service

I purchased this item on Amazon several months ago before having knee surgery. It arrived in three days (free shipping, standard ground, directly from Medline) in excellent condition. There was virtually no assembly - just unwind the protective wrapping from the assembled frame and snap in the seat and lid. Height adjustment is very easy and fast. Without the bucket, it slips right over most any bathroom toilet to raise the seat to a comfortable height for recovering knees or hips. With its arms and legs, this unit is very stable - an important factor! I would be very wary of raised toilet seat units which have neither arms nor 4 legs firmly on the floor. It's a bargain at this price.
