NRS Healthcare Suction Grab Bar with Indicators (M00274)

Bought this 8 or so months ago and it is very strong only came off once which was near to when I first placed on the wall and due to slight air gap but once noticed you had to really push down and then press hard on the button has been solid. Perfect for my mum to hold on to getting in and out of the bath without drilling into the tiles.

First fixed it and thought it had potential. Seemed sturdy and strong. Cleaned tiles, followed instructions exactly and fixed on tiles not over joins. Unfortunately the suction which seemed fine initially, didn’t last. On one end the suction lock didn’t work properly and was no longer adhered to the tiles. It frightened us all falling off the tiles into the bath at 3am! I tried to refit numerous times...all times failed after a short time being attached...just glad it didn’t fall whilst my mother was holding it. I returned. Maybe we were unlucky with a faulty unit, but I didn’t take the chance of reordering. It seemed promising and sturdy initially, but as I say...if it fails regularly, one day she might be holding onto it at that moment....so a thumbs down here.

I will say that when it works it is perfectly fine. I found that I have had to manouevre it about on a bathroom wall to find a place where both suction pads will work ok - this could be due to some wall tiles not being perfectly sealed and thus enabling the airtight connection, but this has to be noted.. you might THINK your tiles are fine, but it needs to be tried in various positions. Safest way though is to not leave it on the wall all the time and just fit it as you use the bath. Oh... and just use it as an aid to get in or out of the bath, DON'T put all your weight on the handle, or swing on it etc... !!! Other than this, the handle works well.

Brilliant , did not expect these to be as good as they are for the price. So long as you are using these in tiled areas and your tiles are fairly even, clean of any surface dirt and are firmly fixed (ie bathroom) and you use as intended ie a 'helping hand' such as supporting you getting in to a bath , shower, a 'hold on to ' while towelling etc , and not a expecting them to take your 'absolute full body weight' ..they are amazing ! Saved my arthritic wife from falls in the bathroom a few times . I don't know why there are negative reviews .just push down on tiles (avoiding grout lines as per common sense) and push the levers down . There's a confidence indicator by way of a green/ red indicator , but I give it a wiggle to make sure. I find sticking to the tiles and then pushing down evenly and firmly with both hands while pushing the lock levers to be effective every time. These have an easy release system take it from me once these grab bars are mounted correctly they are pretty solid ! Anyway thats just my experience opinion , hope it helps somebody..

I bought this to use in the shower for something to help maintain my balance. When first attached it seems quite secure but the suction soon reduces and the device detaches from the tiled surface. I've tried multiple times, cleaning both surfaces thoroughly, tried dry and wet and in each scenario suction doesn't last for long. Might be ok for a quick shower but I'd have to reattach each time I got in the shower which isn't very practical.

It does what it says. I bought one for the bathroom, it sticks well and the vaccum suction works great. The indicators are useful - red, loose and green is OK. We are using it on non-glazed tiles to help get out of the tub. It is a boon for the elderly, much reliable. As of writing this review, we have been using it for over 2 months, and are happy with the result.

Absolute rubbish will not stick to smooth tiles

After reading some of the reviews I was not convinced that this grab bar would adhere to the tiles in my shower securely but for the price I thought I’d try it. I cleaned and dried the area I planned to put it followed the instructions and it is extremely secure still after 6 weeks. The instructions say to repeat the process regularly which I will but it is rock solid at the moment. I am only 8 and a half stone so I’m no heavyweight but in my experience it’s a great item at a great price.

Compré este asidero para ducha para ayudar a una persona mayor a entrar y salir cómodamente. Por un precio muy económico, es un asidero excelente. Tiene el tamaño justo para agarrarlo cómodamente con una sola mano, y se fija muy fuerte a la pared. Hay que tirar mucho, mucho, mucho para conseguir sacarlo, de manera que con un uso normal, es imposible que se suelte. Cuenta con dos ventosas que se colocan sobre el azulejo (ojo, no ponerlo entre las junturas, mejor que tengamos azulejos grandes), y dos palancas azules que se bajan para que se quede completamente pegado. Si levantas las dos palancas azules, se quita con facilidad. Mi madre lleva usándolo algo más de un mes, y está tan agarrado como el primer día, aunque el fabricante recomienda despegarlo y volver a pegarlo cada cierto tiempo, para mantener el agarre. A favor, lo económico del precio y que no necesitamos hacer ningún taladro en la pared como ocurre con los asideros tradicionales. Funciona a la perfección, y no se suelta ni poniendo una mula a tirar de él (siempre que tenga bajadas las palancas azules). Además, se puede transportar e instalar en otro cuarto de baño cuando salimos de viaje. En contra, no es un producto especialmente bonito, desentonará un poco en nuestro cuarto de baño, pero si lo que de verdad nos importa es la seguridad para salir y entrar de la ducha, no es un problema grave. Producto muy recomendado, pronto compraré otro igual, esta vez para mí. Edito: Es necesario despegarlo, limpiar un poco la superficie y volver a pegarlo más o menos una vez al mes para que se mantenga perfectamente fijo, si no lo hacemos la fijación se va debilitando y podría llegar a caerse. Pero una vez hecho esto, vuelve a estar durísimo.

Per applicarla saldamente occorrre prima pulire accuratamente sia le ventose che le piastrelle, ovviamente lisce, meglio se inumidite.

commande livré en un temps record et conforme. se pose facilement et est très pratique pour pouvoir se maintenir dans la douche

Hält leider nicht dauerhaft ! Mit Griff gefährlicher als ohne , weil man sich nicht drauf verlassen kann ob er hält. Schade !

Ho acquistato questo prodotto per un disabile, super fregatura, non si attacca nemmeno sulle piastrelle, non si attacca proprio, uno spreco di soldi
