   Reviewer: paul l. from santee, ca (caregiver)

   User Details: My adult stepson. TBI L side paralysis-Arm total, leg partial use-very bad balance makes bedside commode necessary. Has had several commodes.

   Strengths: Strong metal frame as compared to the last locally purchased commode which had a plastic or fiberglass "deck" which cracked badly although it too was bariatric and user only weighs 185#

   Weaknesses: The mounting for the seat itself comes off the tubular frame when the user shifts or sits down "off balance": the seat clamps (U-shaped) should be longer to hold better.

   User Details: Elderly mother, 84 yrs old. Can't walk but can stand and transfer.

   Strengths: Adjusts for use over chair height toilet. Good quality.

   Weaknesses: Don't know why they put such a flexible, flimsy toilet seat on it. This is supposed to be for bariatric use. It makes you feel the metal framework when sitting on it.
