5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product for Support (Not for full body weight), January 14, 2008

This is a great product to use for support. It is not made to hold or support your entire body weight. I installed this in the shower for support for my 82 year old dad. His shower has 4.25" smooth tiles and it was easy to install and works great. If you plan on installing this product on tile then you must have at least 4" tiles or larger for this product to fit. The body has raised ridges for good grip and the suction cups are really strong. Just make sure to prep the surface properly to get a good connection. I followed the instructions and used rubbing alcohol to clean the tile (I also cleaned the rubber suction cups with the alcohol). It does not damage the surface you attach it too and can be easily moved or repositioned. When moving or repositioning, be very careful to not damage the suction cups or the product may not hold securely.

Here is some information directly from the instructions that you may find helpful: "The Quick Rail is designed for use only on smooth, non-porous surfaces; tile, glass, porcelain, some plastics. Not for use on painted, papered, wood, embossed surfaces, mosaic or embossed tiles. Support surfaces should be sound and free from defects. Do not mount the Quick Rail where it will be in direct sunlight. Check the condition of the suction cups - do not use if damaged, cracked, or split."

This review is from: Health Circle Quick-Rail Suction Cup Bath Rail, White, 24" Long (Health and Beauty)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Would give zero stars if possible, October 2, 2008

My son installed this on my tiled bathtub wall for me, grasped the bar and leaned his weight back on it, and it broke in two immediately. I have severe osteoporosis, and if that had happened to me I would likely have broken something, so we are actually grateful if it was going to break it did it then. However, I would not recommend this product to anyone to whom safety and security are important.
