Bad product, not as advertised.

We are very disappointed with this product. My daughter has EDS and needs the stability and strength of the grip. This one had great reviews, but the one we got only has one end that holds suction. We've done everything the instructions say and it still doesn't work. It was a waste of money, but it also fell because the water wasn't siphoned off the shower wall. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Useless features

Difficult to activate, do not stick.

My old suction cups looked a bit moldy so I bought these to replace. While the old bars (two different brands) loosened over time, they almost always fell off after a day. I put them back every time I shower. I also find that the cams that activate the suction cups have a very short stroke...which means I have to lean on them with my considerable weight to engage them. Incidentally, they are mounted on a seamless marble wall, where my old handrails worked perfectly. Definitely a dangerousโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Didn't work for me...

Yes I followed the installation instructions and it stuck for a while but eventually fell off the wall. I liked the idea of not having to deal with the complicated installation of a permanent handle. The idea of portability is also attractive. Considering the protective gear that can be reached if balance is lost, I consider this a safety hazard. The fine print says it's not designed to support your weight and should only be used for balancing. Well, I could use the wall as a balance. Inโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Thin

Work well. For safety reasons, check the suction power before each use.

I've looked at this style before and just wasn't sure how safe they are. After the surgery, my occupational therapist at home recommended I buy one, which I did. I like them because they seem to lock, although the lock is a bit tricky to close. How well they stick over time depends on the surface. The surface must be clean and flat (not deformed at all). I got two and one has stuck firmly since I applied it two months ago. The other is on a surface that moves slightly, causing the bottom sealโ€ฆ

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • exchange availability

BUYER BEWARE THIS IS ACCIDENTALLY PENDING

Carex Extra Grip Ultra Grip Shower Handle I bought two; one for the bath and the other for the shower. They were easy to install and had strong suction on the tub and shower walls. Late in the evening I heard a loud knock. I thought something fell off the shelf in the closet. No, there was a handrail/rail in the shower; spontaneously let go and feel how the shower hits the wall. So I thought maybe it's an accident or I installed it wrong. I reinstalled both suction rails according to theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Very Expensive

Please note that the description says "security and support you can count on". However, the instructions specifically state that it should only be used to aid in balance. I bought two of these to make it easier to get in and out of the shower. One works fine, the other has a broken suction cup that won't hold. This grip suddenly came loose with light to moderate pressure - even with two green indicators. I cleaned the wall and the suction cups. Tried to use it every day. When testing, one sideโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Everything OK

Useful but use with caution

I have mixed feelings about this handrail. I have serious back problems and falling in the tub can be very dangerous. I recently sold my house and rented an apartment where I can't install handrails. So that seemed like the best solution to me. The surround is made of 4 inch tiles. The device fits well between the tiles and creates a good grip with the suction cups. don't strain it too much as it's not designed for that. However, there were a few times that it suddenly and unexpectedly let goโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Minor things

Very good handrail, works great.

Let me start by saying that I research everything I buy, especially online. I received this item last week and couldn't be happier, the suction power lasts after a week. What I love about this handrail is that it has two red or green lights that let you know the handrail is adjusted properly. Red - poor suction, green - good suction. You can always look at the suction indicators to make sure it's still holding before you reach for it. I have an old 4" x 4" glazed tile and it spans 3 tiles, seeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Speed
