Platinum HealthCarousel Sliding Shower Chair Transfer Bench with Swivel Seat, PowerSlide Capability, Push Button Powered Travel, Premium Padded Bath Bench, for Handicap & Seniors, Blue

So many things we liked about this Transfer Chair:1) The chair locks in place nearly at the end of the frame making it easier for your person to sit down.2) The armrests on BOTH sides of chair allow more places to grab and greater feeling of security.3). The cushioned seat, back and armrests added a sense of comfort.4) The sliding frame was beautifully finished, sturdy and smooth to the touch.5) The mechanics of sliding, locking in place and swivel were perfect.6) The whole set up was very stable.7) It was super easy to put together and did not require tools.8) The slide/swivel aspect eliminates the danger of damaging skin scooting across a bench into tub/shower particularly if your person is elderly and has thin, vulnerable skinNow-sad to say-we did have to return it. ONLY because of our tub. We have a claw foot tub that elevates the curved lip of tub to 22" off the ground. I had read a review by a man who managed to use it with a claw foot tub, so thought we could manage with 4.5" bathroom aid platform outside of tub with the chair frame on its highest height to assure clearance. It worked well but that put the chair quite high inside the tub. Mom could not touch the tub floor with her feet nor stand to wash "private areas." Added a toddler step in tub for her feet to remedy which worked but ultimately mom felt too insecure to try beyond our "rehearsals" while wearing clothes. I need to point out that she is 100 years old and can walk but it was all "too much" - which was disappointing but TOTALLY understandable. We ourselves did the rehearsals and loved it. The physical therapist also thought the swivel transport chair was great. She will be recommending it to other patients.Just to reiterate - it is a terrific, well made product that solves a lot of issues related to bathing!

This has made it so easy for my husband (200 lbs.) to shower now. Before we had an in the shower chair and he was always afraid of falling trying to step into the tub.. Very easy to use once you get the hang of it. Just turn the chair facing out and slide it to where it is outside the tub. Sit down and slide/turn into the tub. It is very sturdy and made of quilty meterials. It is rather expensive, but well worth the money.

Highly recommend the Platinum Health Carousel Sliding Shower Chair PHB3300! This is an excellent shower bench, worth every penny!Every homecare nurse and physical therapist has asked where to get one, and they’re sharing the information with their co-workers and associates.Easy to assemble, no tools required! Light weight, yet very sturdy, it has many indispensable features that previous shower chairs just did not have:1. A padded, waterproof seat that rotates in any direction! The seat locks into place every 90 degrees. So it can be used in any bath to face the faucets and drain.2. By pushing a button that unlocks the chair, the seat slides along the bench rails, then locks into position, in and out if the bathtub.3. The chair has flip up locking arms for easy transfer from a wheel chair if required. It also has a seat belt.4. The legs are adjustable at 1/2” increments, for user height (seat max height 23”), and to clear tub top edge to slide over (18”). This also allows the bench to be leveled between the legs inside the tub and the legs outside on the floor.5. There are rubber feet on the bottom of each leg that are angled, so they can be rotated to adjust to the contours of the tub or the flat floor.We only have one small bathroom, a tub with sliding glass doors, and a sink right next to the tub. We were looking into remodeling our bathroom, planning to have the tub removed and converted into a walk in shower. But that really wasn’t feasible on our budget, and there wasn’t enough time before scheduled hip replacement surgery.The Platinum Health Carousel Sliding Shower Chair PHB3300 solved all our problems! We paid about $298, about twice what we paid for previous shower chairs that proved useless (because they were too big, too heavy, and uncomfortable to use). We can safely and easily use this shower chair in our tiny bathroom without a major remodel!To set it up, we removed our sliding shower doors, purchased an inexpensive shower curtain tension rod and a clear plastic shower curtain. We made two small cuts up from the bottom of the shower curtain that match the distance between the outside legs, and the height of the bench rails, so the shower curtain bottom can be tucked inside the tub to minimize water on the floor. We also use a bathmat under the outside legs to avoid a dangerous, slippery, wet floor.We slide the chair out of the tub into the locked position. Rotate the seat into the locked position facing out of the bathtub. Transfer from the walker to the seat by reaching back for the chair arms, carefully lowering down into the seat, and attach the seat belt. Then push down the red lever to rotate the seat 90 degrees, lifting one leg over tub edge. Push grey button to begin sliding the chair into tub, lifting the other leg into tub. Once the seat locks into position, you are ready for a safe shower!Simply reverse the process when you’re done. And light enough to easily remove for other bathers.Very happy with our purchase! We expect to get many years of excellence from this Platinum Health Carousel Sliding Shower Chair PHB3300
