Lifestyle Essentials Quick Rail Suction-Cup Assist Handle, 16.5"

These handles are very well-designed. The ribbed plastic provides a secure grip. The suction cups are very secure, with one exception for me. I ordered two handles, and one end on one of them comes loose from the wall approximately every three days. It is essential to prep. the walls as instructed, cleaning them with alcohol to ensure proper adhesion (suction). Still, I have the problem with one of them. Once I lift the lever on that end, and re-position the suction and close the lever, I'm good to go for another three days. This requires a bit of diligence in checking. Perhaps it is defective (?), but I didn't want to hassle returning it. This was the difference for me in rating it 4 stars, rather than 5. Still an excellent product which is not only functional but is also aesthetically pleasing.

Doesn't fit all tile surfaces as depends upon tile size and distance between tiles. Heads are large for small tile size and if you get head to fit on one tile the second head lands on grout surface and it can't attach. Cost to return was $20 UPS - for a $30 product - I donated it to an elder facility rather than waste any more money. Product description should be very specific re: how to measure for this rail before purchase.

This handle is just what I needed on my bath tub wall to feel a little steadier on my feet after someone has conditioned their hair or skin in the tub before me. It must be hung at an angle on my tile, so I can't use it as a towel rack, but because the suction cups hold fast, no drilling is required through the tiles for installation. It works great when installed per the instructions and takes less than 5 minutes. You can even take it with you on vacation!

It didn't stick on my tile

The suction cups will not hold unless on very clean, or smooth surfaces. Even on smooth surfaces, one should be careful putting too much weight or pull on the handle because the suction cups could loosen from being attached. It happened to me. Luckily the other end was still attached and I regained balance before it got completely detached. Have to throw it away before any untoward accident happens.

I purchased this for my elderly mother and it has worked out great. Allows her easy assistance getting in and out of shower. Only draw back is you have to avoid grot lines when placing suction cups. This limits where you can place the handle.

I could not even get this to stick to the BR tile. Very unsafe for someone unsteady on their feet. This product should help not hinder. SCARY.

Can not lat my mother to use it. It does not have strong enough contact with tile. Scary! Don't recommend to anybody!
