UltraCommode™ Foldable Commode and Shower Chair, Soft, Warm, Padded, Portable and Foldable XL Toilet Seat with Open Front, Padded Pivoting Armrests, Adjustable Height, Includes Free Commode Pail, Gray

I am an RN. The most common problem with MOST cushion seats is a SEAM that can hurt the patient with loose/elderly skin. This commode is the BEST chair we have ever purchased (we have a collection due to my mother is 100 years young). The seat is molded without a seam that would hurt her skin. The padded product they use, cleans up so great. it is thick and durable. The drop down arms are a great technology, so easy for the person transferring. They click back in with ease. It came assembled...what a plus for the busy life we have. They used pegs for adjustable height, which is simplifying finding the correct height. Some company's are using screws which are labor intensive for a person transferring at different heights. Such a stable SAFE product.

I originally bought this for use as just a shower chair and it was great for that and fit in my shower perfectly. The seat, back, and arms are very comfortable and not too slick, or cold. I have had to move this into being a toilet chair recently and it is perfect for me to transfer from my electric wheelchair to this as it sits over the toilet. Finally I am safe from falling, or trying to navigate a standing transfer. The front cut out allows for personal cleaning. Putting it together was a snap and it adjusts easily for height. It is sturdy and safe for either shower, or over the toilet use. It's surface is easy to clean. It has also been used as a commode chair outside of the bathroom and it worked awesome for that too. The collection bowl while a bit tricky to slide in at times is easy to slide out and to clean without too much fuss. (adding a disposable bag might make it even easier for some, but it worked fine without) I am very pleased with the versatility and safety of this item and it works great for all it's uses in and out of the bathroom. I would highly recommend!

The UltraCommode is reasonably well constructed. The open front of the seat makes this commode more comfortable for an adult male (my Father) than the round seat standard types (i.e. Drive). I feel the unit was a good purchase overall; however there are some issues which must be mentioned. First, although this commode does fold away, it requires significantly more effort to set-up and break down verses many budget models. One must loosen/tighten (6) knobs, then fold or unfold both legs and the seat back - inserting or removing each of (6) posts into/out of their receiver tubes each time. Sometimes the legs and/or seat back bind up when inserting into the receiver tubes and it can be a bit annoying. Comparatively, I also have a Drive budget commode, which only requires the depression of (2) spring loaded pins to disassemble - essentially it is instantaneous. Second, the shape/size of the seat cut-out is less than ideal. Please note that you MUST correctly position the user on the seat or you WILL have spillage (as I have experienced already). If the user's buttocks is too far aft, you can potentially have #2 spillage. If the user is too far forward, you will likely have #1 spillage, One must check the user's position very carefully each time. Third, the collection bowl should be deeper in the rear (instead of sloped downward) and longer overall as it adds to the critical positioning required by this commode. Please bear in mind that as a care-giver you cannot simply drop off your care-recipient and let them "go" - you MUST check that they are sitting correctly - trust me!! Finally, the seat has a flat bottom that mates to the tubing. This leaves an area of exposure, which may present a hygienic issue over time and make cleaning very difficult. I believe the manufacturer should affix a chute or cladding to cover this area (conforming to the seat cut-out) and provide a smooth, uninterrupted surface for easy cleaning. I purchased this commode as the round seat units tend to be a bit too restrictive for an adult male; this unit replicates an actual semi-elongated toilet experience from the feedback I've received from Dad. I think this unit is a bit pricey, but it does seem to be well made and will hopefully last for some years.

We purchased this shower chair for my father in law who is 89 and in assisted living. It's extremely sturdy and comfortable to sit in with nice padding on the seat, back and arm rests. The arm rests raise and lower so it's easier to get in the chair and then lower the arm rest down once you're comfortable. For someone transferring from a wheelchair this is a must have item. The back raises and lowers for maximum comfort. It's very sturdy getting in and out of and that is a huge comfort after he almost fell trying to get into his other shower chair which was wobbly and unsteady. The only concern we had was that it was not available for Prime shipping, but the chair still came within 5 days of ordering, including a weekend, so it was received pretty quickly. I would highly recommend this item for anyone looking for a shower chair that's sturdy, steady and well made. (NOTE: Item was not needed for a toilet chair so I'm unable to rate on it's capabilities as a toilet chair).

I ordered this chair to see if it could replace my current one, but it is small and unstable. I tried to return it but found that UPS wanted $150 and USPS $140. Contacted the seller and was told that they do not pay for return shipping. So II now have a $150 paperweight. Amazon needs to do better about disclosing these little details so customers can make a buying decision. Needless to say I will not be buying from this seller ever again. - My friends, this is not the chair that you need - move on to a different seller that will back up the customer.
