Homecare Commode

I bought this for my elderly mother so that she would not have to maneuver her walker down the hall to the bathroom multiple times in the middle of the night. I was just hoping she would be willing to use it at night for safety and convenience, but I feared she'd reject it on sight. Turns out she likes it so much she uses it during the day! In fact, she only goes down the hall to her bathroom when she wants to brush her teeth or take a shower. This commode is VERY sturdy and stable and the hand rails are at just the right height for her to get herself up and down. I did not realize it would come with such a sturdy bucket with a lid; I was expecting an open hospital style basin. I also wasn't expecting sample liners with gel pads to absorb liquid. I didn't know those even existed! The first few days I took the whole bucket outside to tie up the bag and dump it, but there is absolutely no leakage, so it's easy to just tie up the bag and take that out by itself. I did some searching and found a different brand of liners/pads which was MUCH less expensive than the brand supplied with this chair and everything is working great. Every day my mother comments on how much she likes not having to trek all the way down the hall with her walker. I can't recommend this highly enough! Update: I noticed the negative reviews about this being too small and flimsy. Please note that my mom is 4' 10" and weighs 100 lbs. It's PLENTY sturdy for her.

Following my husband's hip replacement, he needed added height to be able to use our bathroom. This really fit the bill and he continues to use it to make it easier 6 months later! It is easy to clean and lightweight to handle for ease of cleaning around. The only caution I would add is that if a person is over 250 lbs., this may be a little too lightweight for them and it could bend the frame. It supported 220 just fine! Thanks for a great product at a good price!

About a year ago my mother hurt herself in the master "super" shower we had. After six-weeks in hospital and various rehab/physical therapy centers she was able to come home. Initially we were using this so it would be easy for her to get on and off the toilet. When she came home we moved her to a different bedroom with a bathroom which had a regular walk-in shower. Once she strong enough to be able to get on and off the toilet with her own strength we put this in shower for her to use. We'had the product for over a year now. It is very sturdy, very easy to assemble and if needed to adjust.

For the money this is worth it, however, if sturdiness is your chief concern, this is not it. The unit is good for someone steady on their feet, but not a non-walking person. The bucket/seat setup is nice. The bucket has a handle and lid for easy removal. The seat has a lid to cover up. I would purchase it again if I wanted it for camping, etc.

Muy buena

Great commode. Sturdy and adjustable. So great we ordered a second to replace the raised toilet seat with arms that we had. So much more comfortable and having the adjustable height made it much better for a shorter person that may not want a full 5" of lift that a raised toilet seat gives you. Tried a Drive brand, but it was inferior to this MedPro brand. Would highly recommend this Medpro commode..

I liked how easy that it was for one person to put together. The instructions were very simple and visible for people with poor eyesight. It seems pretty sturdy and easy to put bags in the bucket to use and I like the lid to cover when removing the bucket to empty. I’m very well pleased with it. It will be easy to take apart and store until needed again.

i bought this to replace a raised screw on type toilet seat (that always wobbled) for my dad. I placed it right over the toilet (w/o bucket) and he said that he is now able to use the bathroom by himself and because of the how sturdy it is with the high arms - he can stand up by himself. He is much happier Dad now, gaining some privacy and independance. If anyone needs to use the bathroom you can slide it out of the way very easily. If things changed we can use this in his room, with the bucket inserted, I also purchased pads and bags for the bucket - just in case. This is a product offers flexibility of how you want to use it, adjustable legs, high arms and sturdiness. After 1 month of use we are very happy with it.

I bought this for my elderly mom. It makes her life much easier and safer. It’s easy to assemble and easy maintenance.I should have bought this before!

I’m bit over 200 pounds and have used this chair for a full year now. It feels safe and makes it so easy to get on and off. Would highly recommend. It would not work for a 300 pound person in my opinion.

It's easy to assemble. No tools required. It took me 5 minutes to assemble. I am the only care giver for my mother at home. She's diabetic and needs to go to bathroom every 1 and half hour. She can't walk on her own even with a walker so I have to walk her every time. She already has a commode in the bedroom for night time use. It helps a lot to add a second one in the living room for day time use. It reduces my stress tremendously and gives me more time to do my own things.

Solid, secure, easy to assemble. Frankly, this is better than I expected. I got it for my dear old Dad who, at 90 1/2 has had a small stoke. His mobility is limited and with a bit of Sunowners it is a challenge for us or the care aides to get him down tothe bathroom in the nightime. Tjis commode is positioned beside his bed, provides a sturdy support for him and we are hoping that this eases his nightly travails. BTW, I paid for one day shipping and it arrived supe fast today, hours before I expected! Amazon rocks! Finally, it is only about $20 new vs used. Used.....eeeeeeeeyewwwwww!

Just a note I bought this because of the 2-day shipping. It took 6 days to arrive. I think this is a major problem!
