Review on Convenient And Waterproof Commode Wheelchair With Detachable Bucket And 4 Castor Wheels - HOMCOM by Joanne Edwards

Overall a nice product but some adjustments needed for next design. Easy to assemble , sturdy for a petite person. I would not want to put anyone heavy on this. My mom is 115 pounds and it is perfect size for her. I bought this due to the very narrow bathroom door and bathroom. The great part is I can wheel it right over the toilet even in very tight quarters with a lip on the show right in front of the toilet. Because my shower has a 5 inch lip I have not used as a shower chair for her so can't comment on that. I have also used as a bed side commode. So first the good things - Easy to assemble, seat is height adjustable, the arms flip up which can be very useful in transferring a person, legs easily swing in and out and foot rests up and down, great for narrow areas provided your loved one is small - If you are not needing a narrow chair then there are others on the market that would be better for the price. Now for the negatives which if you don't have these concerns then the chair is fine: 1) The biggest issue is if you are buying as a caretaker to care for loved one that is not very mobile. I thought I could move my mom from the bed to this and then into the bathroom and over the toilet. As she can't stand alone and is very unstable I try and limit how many times I have to get her up and down, for herself as well as my back. I thought I could get her out of bed and onto this chair after undressing her bottom and once i got her into the bathroom could slip out the bucket since I thought this great design unlike most commodes does not require the person to be off the chair. So my thought was I could use the buck during tranport in case of accidents, once near toilet slip it out and use over the toilet. You cannot remove the bucket when the person is on the seat nor can you insert it. So if you wanted to empty it before pushing your loved one into the shower for instance you can't do that without getting them off the seat as their bottom is now in the hole and the design is such that the buck and track are right up against the seat not hung lower to slide out while avoiding the buttocks plus you could pinch and hurt the person trying. 2) To clarify the seat height adjusts but the arms do not and the arms are set too high; 3) The seat is NOT comfortable . It is very hard. Provided these three items are not important to you overall it is a great chair for narrow spaces and if you are only using as a bed side commode it is a nice way to move the chair to go right behind the person versus trying to move the person to the chair. If the makers in their next design would address arm height, comfort of seat and most importantly drop the bucket down a inch or so in order to allow inserting and removal while on the seat it would be an excellent product. One last thing, the brakes are hard to push on/off and can't do so just with your foot- but they work great. Maybe over time they would get a bit loose and easier. So overall a good product but really depends on your specific needs. I could try and rig a few things like hang some kind of a bucket like a dish pan lower on the frame somehow again just for that "just in case of accident" while heading to the bathroom and maybe find some kind of cushion to put on the seat but then there are sanitary concerns there and for this price, you should not have to find work arounds. Overpriced for what it lacks.
