Eagle Health Supplies Sliding Shower Chair Tub Transfer Bench with Cut-Out Seat, FSA/HSA Eligible, Height Adjustable Shower Benches, Inside Shower, Swivel Shower Chair for Elderly and Disabled, 77663

Purchased for an elderly family member who could no longer stand to take a shower due to poor strength and shaking. Product was easy to put together. Very sturdy and well made. User felt secure on seat, and it cleared the tub easily once we found the correct height. The user has a very difficult time raising her leg, but was able to clear the tub with no assistance and she showered by herself with no help. The only difficulty she did have was her feet could not lay flat on the floor once the seat was adjusted to clear the tub as she is 5' 0" tall. We corrected this by placing something under her feet in the tub to rest on. (She would not be standing so there was no concern about slipping.) The belt secures the user so if there is an attempt to stand, or the user weakens, there will be a measure of safety. I fully endorse this product for anyone who has lost the ability to shower standing.

This bench enables my left side disabled wife to take a shower. She is very pleased with it. We do not use the cutout. Seat is less comfortable with the opening and space is to narrow for our shower head. The extra height of the cutout seat makes it easier to move the legs over the rail when the seat is turned.

We have used the swivel style sliding bench for many years. We needed to replace it so we opted for this style with the replaceable cutout. The only thing different from the regular swivel sliding bench is that to accommodate the cutout, the seat is about 2-3 inches taller for us even at the lowest adjustments. For those who are considering this model you need to take that into consideration. If the person showering has short legs or is short, the seat is higher to get onto and when in the bathtub, a stepstool will be needed under their feet. (We have used a hard plastic foot stool we bought at Walmart for less than $10 to put under his feet while in the tub.). One benefit of the seat being higher is that it is easier to lift their feet over the edge of the tub. And I don't have to bend over as far to help with washing. So there are pluses and minuses to this seat model. I am dealing with my adult son with CP in this showering/bathing process so I am the one making the accommodations and assistance. For us, this model still worked well for us but as I have indicated it is different in height from the regular swivel model. But either way, I have to tranfer assist him onto the seat, push it into position,and pull it back each time we use it. This seat swivels and slides easily so we are pleased. The cutout will be useful when cleaning between the legs is necessary and there is space to easily access between the legs (because of the height of the seat). The space is adequate and similar to a separated toilet seat being open in the front. The cutout lifts out easily and stays in place when in position....though not tight.

Well, we've only used it once so far but it's a good one. Paid a little more than some of the other choices because reviews mentioned it was sturdy and the reviews for cheaper ones mentioned the one they selected was not that sturdy but it got the job done.. that worried me. I am not good at putting things together so i cant tell you about that - the home therapist put ours together and it didnt take him long. I like it because the height is ADJUSTABLE - I was worried it might not be. My mother is only 5.4 so we need to be sure her feet on flat on the tub. We will have to have a grab bar installed on the tile though - but momma stayed in her seat - she was able to get in it out of her wheelchair - and it swivels over the tub and then locks in place easily - the cut out was also the reason I picked this one for cleaning - there is a steel plate there when you remove this cut out which seemed odd to me but my sister said that is removable - it's there in case there is a BM accident while bathing. Smart accessory.

I ordered this for my mother a year and a half ago. She weighs about 240 pounds and is immobile, and has Parkinson's, and this seemed perfect. The weight limit says 400 pounds, but even with her weight, it seemed a little uncomfortable. First, the seat width would be fine for some 200 pounds or less. She always says she wishes it was a tad bit wider. Second, the seat cutout is horrible. When she kept it out, part of her butt started falling in, and it was uncomfortable. When she kept it in, the seat cutout would start to shift from her weight, and eventually fall thru. I literally super-glued it in place. That helped for a few months, but it eventually fell through, which is very scary when you are the one sitting on it, in a wet bathtub. After about a year and a half, the sliding mechanism doesn't work as well, but I haven't tried WD40 or something like that yet. It is a solid construction, as far as the metal legs go. It stays in place well and doesn't move once you are on it. I'll continue to have her use it until we can find something with a nicer seat.

I was searching for a transfer bench for my mother. She is very weak in the upper and lower extremities and has difficulty stepping over the the tub wall to get into the shower and has difficulty standing in the shower. I thought a transfer bench would be safer instead of using a shower chair because she would still have to step over the tub wall into the shower to sit on a chair. After looking at transfer benches, I was afraid it would be difficult for her to scoot across it and then try to lift her legs over the tub wall. After much research, I'm glad I found this transfer bench. I didn't know they made them with a sliding and swivel chair. It was easy to assemble-it feels sturdy. After I assembled it-I wanted to check it out and I placed it in the shower and had her use the sliding chair to get into the shower-it worked perfectly--but we haven't used it for bath time yet...One thing I did not take into consideration is how to get the shower curtain around it and not get the bathroom floor wet-(it extends past the tub out into the bathroom area-the bench is about 36" long. I just came up with the idea of getting 2 vinyl shower curtains for the shower rod and using Velcro or tape to attach them together, down to the part that meets the bench then tucking them in and around the bench and back into the shower. I hope it works--(I think this bench will be much safer and easier for my mother.

Well, sadly, the Transfer Bench with Cut-Out Molded Swivel Seat / Back was less than successful. In fact, I want to return it. I mean, if you spend that much money, you want perfect. 1) For someone with MS and cognitive issues, like me, or maybe someone with Alzheimer's - instructions on how to use it need to be posted in the bathroom. To slide left, press the red lever on the right down. To slide right, etc. But that's on me. Not a fault of the product. 2) HUGE issue: it's too high off the ground. It's on its lowest position and I am 5'8" and my feet are on tippy toes on the ground. It's scary. Don't tell me to use the seat belt, I need to be able to move to pick up things I drop. The seatbelt is useless for me because I always drop stuff - my hands don't work very well. Like soap, washrag, shampoo - over and over. And bending over to pick them up, causing my weight to be centered around my head and sitting that high up - well, that's scary. I felt like I was going to topple off the chair, headfirst. People who don't have balance issues probably won't understand that. 3) The floor was soaked. We haven't tried a split curtain yet (sold separately) to see if that alleviates that - and now we probably won't. But this meant that I couldn't get dressed while sitting on the toilet because the bottom of my sweats and socks would be soaked. So I had to transfer, naked, onto my wheelchair in order to get dressed. And if you've ever sat, skin to plastic, while you were damp, you know how your skin sticks to the plastic. Getting up to my feet (which is hard enough as it is) and having to peel my skin off that plastic (to pull up my sweats)…well, it hurt. 4) I couldn't dry my feet off because, again, I was unsteady on the chair. Which didn't matter anyway because the floor was soaked, making it scary to transfer on wet tile to my wheelchair. Those four issues could be solved if you aren't bathing yourself, if you have a caregiver to aid you. Which I don't. I shower myself. But there is a number five. 5) The BIGGEST COMPLAINT is that the seat is SO uncomfortable. I had the part out so I could wash my privates and my butt cheek kept falling into that hole - and I couldn't reach the ground to readjust! And that feature (the removable part) was a huge selling point for me! My butt STILL hurts from that uncomfortable seat. The shower chair was way more comfortable and yea, transferring to it is tricky because I have to sit on the edge of the tub to get in it, but I felt safer with my feet firmly on the ground.

The mechanical working of the device seems well designed and works reasonably easy for me but my wife is handicapped and can't operate it. My complaint is that the framework sticks out into the room for about a foot but the seat extends only about 8 inches making it hard for my wife to sit on it. (The seat is too high for my short wife due in part to the provision for access of a spray head below the cut-out.) Then the seat doesn't slide far enough to the opposite side of the tub and is not centered over the tub so the shower curtain lays on her shoulder..
