Essential Medical Supply Raised Elevated Toilet Seat Riser for an Elongated Toilet with Padded Aluminum Arms for Support and Compatible with Toilet Seat, Elongated, 19 x 14 x 3.5

It was hard to fit bidet
I got this riser because I’m going to have a discectomy next week, and most of the surgery videos suggested because you’re not allowed to bend, twist, or lift after surgery. A riser makes it easier to stand up from the toilet.
I also wanted to get a bidet attachment that I could use with it. That was a bit of a struggle to find because most of them stuck out too far. The bidet by Biear that looks like a broom handle is what we settled on. Plenty of clearance.
When you install it, the levels from the ground up are the toilet, the riser, the bidet, your old toilet seat. And then when we got done and tested it, water went everywhere. It was not from a leak in the bidet system, it was a leak between the toilet and the riser. water was running underneath. Fortunately, I had read a review here on Amazon where a man spoke of putting down a thick bead of caulk between the toilet and the riser. After we did that we haven’t had any issues.
All in all, I’m pleased with this riser. Took us 20 minutes to install it.

Manufacturer Needs To Work on Stability
Just installed this on 1/26/23 and let a mechanical engineer give you my opinion. It works great. Regardless of the stability I’ll give this a 5.0 star because I had the extra hardware to fix it. Just had my 85 year old mother on it and the distance from the top of the toilet seat to the handle is just right. She struggles with upper body strength and it now able to sit and stand, unassisted, to get to her walker. Mounting the seat was easy. Here is the problem. The screws are metal and metal and porcelain don’t mix. I suggest a plastic sleeve that the screw can insert into (needs to be a thin wall plastic sleeve) to protect the toilet from the screw. If the seat shifts the metal screw could contact the toilet and crack the toilet. This sleeve needs to be able to be cut to allow for different thicknesses of toilet. I plan to use some clear rubber tubing from Home Depot. You can’t get the screws tight enough to prevent the front end riser that contacts the toilet from sliding. I just happened to have a thin sheet, 1/8″ thick, of Viton rubber. I cut this rubber to fit between the plastic riser and the toilet to give it some friction to stabilize the front end. This really helps. I will eventually epoxy the Viton piece to the plastic riser to it won’t fall in the toilet. When you tighten the screws it broke the plastic piece that my toilet seat has. I had to remove it, place a large metal washer under the slotted toilet piece, I then placed a plastic washer between the metal washer and the plastic riser, then tightened it up. This gave me more bearing area and prevented my toilet piece from squeezing into the slot in the plastic riser. I needed more surface area to tighten against. I have an elongated toilet and my toilet seat is a Chlorox brand from Walmart. The crack did not completely break the portion on the toilet seat. If there were some adjustable “U” shaped devices that could mount to the bottom of the plastic riser and fit around the toilet rim that might help to keep it from sliding. However, keeping that clean may be an issue.

Works, but not ideal design
I bought this elevated seat prior to my hip replacement surgery a month ago and my upcoming knee replacement surgeries next month. I liked the simpler design, which allows it to be installed using the extended toilet seat bolts that come with the extension. I also liked that I would use my existing toilet seat on top of the extension, instead of paying for a second toilet seat.
The elevated toilet seat works, and I won’t need to return it. It is stable, and it holds my weight (240 pounds). The handles also are sturdy and definitely helped me stand up after my surgery. So it is sufficient for my temporary (6-8 month) purposes.
However, there are a few drawbacks I wish I had known. First, the nuts that attach underneath are not easy to secure. Not impossible, but most toilet seats these days come with “consumer-friendly” nuts with large flanges so they can be secured with just your hand as you tighten the screw from above. These nuts require a pliers to hold them still while you tighten the screws from above. The angle is awkward at best, which is why “better” toilet seats come with more installation-friendly nuts. It was not impossible, and I have installed toilet seats with similar buts before. But it was not well designed.
The plastic is not the sturdiest, and was easily dented by one normal “drop” of the toilet seat onto the plastic. The dent has reduced over time, but I need to treat it gingerly if it is going to last through my upcoming knee surgeries. The plastic would NOT be sturdy enough as a long-term solution.
But the worst flaw is that “toilet gunk” (pee and piss) accumulates between the bottom of this elevated seat and the toilet bowl. Because it secures onto the toilet bowl using the toilet seat bolts, cleaning between the seat extension and the toilet bowl rim is difficult. I can pull up on the handles and wedge a cloth between the rim and the extension in the front; but the back of the seat extension is held down by the screws, so cleaning is impossible. It will be a MESS when I remove the extension after I recover from my knee replacement surgery. And there is nothing on the extension seat to stop urine and… gooey liquid brown stuff… from getting between the seat and the toilet. (And, for anyone who has gone through post-surgery recovery, the brown stuff does not exactly come out like it would if you had a high fiber diet in the last five days, so to speak. It squirts, as opposed to plunks). They should really have a drip edge lip extending into the bowl to break the turgor pressure, or a rubber seal of some sort that prevents fluids from migrating under the seat extension.
I will only use it while recovering from my hip surgery and upcoming knee surgery, so I will deal with it. The handles do help, and the elevation of course helps. But if I had it to do it all over again, I would look for a design that makes it easier to install and does not allow fluids to easily migrate between the extension and the toilet bowl rim.

Excelente
