Customer Reviews of Health Circle Quick-Rail Suction Cup Bath Rail, White, 24" Long
Customer Review: Perfect Safety Solution for Tile
Summary: 5 Stars
This was suggested by my occupational therapist after my knee replacement. After checking the price at a supply store I found the exact same item on Amazon at a considerable savings and it arrived at my door in 2 days. I recently had a 1980's tub enclosure replaced with a walk-in 5' shower tiled from floor to ceiling. I have handicap bars outside the shower and a built-in seat but realized I needed something to add a little more security due to the size of the shower without risking damage to the expensive tile. The device was put into place in minutes by my son and can be removed at any time. (Avoid placing it on a grout line). )The suction clamps hold it tightly with no sign of budging. It's long enough to accommodate most heights and does not detract from the look of the shower. It can easily be moved or removed by releasing the suction clamps at each end.
Update: This may come loose in time due to soap and hot water and one end might not stay gripped. After six months, I removed it and cleaned the tile and suction ends with white vinegar. It has not loosened again in the last 3 months of use. These should never be depended on to support anyone's full weight. They are more for balance and it still works perfectly for me after a year and a half of use.
Customer Review: Bought it for 4" tiles and I like it
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased the Health Circle Quick Rail 24" from Amazon. It came as advertised using Amazon Prime in 2 days. The product is excellent in quality, fit and finish. We have 4" tiles and it was advertised to work with 4" tiles. It does but we had to mount it on a slant on our 4" tiles. Because of the length and the excellent ribbing on the grip handle I think I like it better on a slant than if it was horizontal or verticle. Overall there is no question that this product is very well made and will support you in an emergency fall. Just to have it there to balance yourself it is excellent. I recently had ankle surgery and you suddenly realise that a shower is a dangerous place when you are mostly on one leg. This product gets my 5 stars.
We also purchased the MHI Mommy's Helper Safe-er-Grip 17" from Amazon at the same time. We give it 5 stars also. On 4" tiles the MHI product was able to go either verticle or horizontal. It is another 5 star product, well made and substantial. Both of these products when stuck on properly have a solid solid feel that will support you. If I had to choose between these two products I would do it on the length you prefer. We are using them both in the same shower.
Customer Review: Just what I wanted for holding up a shower curtain
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't order this bar for support, but rather to hold up my fabric shower curtain liner after a shower. I was having trouble with mildew from the curtain hanging against the wet tub, and this bar solved my problem perfectly! I had to install it slanted to fit my tiles, but it actually works better for me that way. It held to the tiles very tightly, and it is still there with no slippage at all. I have used it to hold onto for balance a few times as well, and it feels solid and secure. I love this bar, though I wouldn't recommend it for someone needing full support in the tub, since I can't say how well it would hold under weight. But for balance and light support it holds firmly. And of course, it's perfect for holding up a wet curtain liner to air-dry.Customer Review: Suction Cup Rail
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband has had quite a few major surgeries since last June and has lost a lot of weight. He is now on the road to recovery, but all he has been through has left him very weak. He is not as sure footed as he used to be, but still wants to be independant and do for himself. We have 4 inch tiles surrounding our bathtub and I had a problem finding a rail that was both strong enough and long enough to fit from tile to tile and not go over the grout where air would get in and lossen the rail. The Health Circle Quick-Rail really filled the bill. I installed it on an angle and how he can get in and out of the tub without any help. I still check it to make sure it is secure before he takes a shower.Customer Review: Doesn't stay on the wall for very long...
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this as a rail for my mother to hold onto while in the shower to help her balance herself. I followed the instructions that came with the product and it worked great! For about 4 hours... Then in the middle of the night there was a loud crash as the bar fell off the inside of the shower wall. I tried again the following day and again after 4 or 5 hours it was laying in the bottom of the tub.
I am in need of something that will stay suctioned to the wall and doesn't need to be placed each time it is being used. Her shower is an insert and can't be drilled into to add a bar.
Good idea but not a permanent or even semi permanent solution.
