This bathtub bar is very sturdy and easy to install making getting in and out of the tub safely.

Works very well to help someone get in and out of a tub/tub shower that has difficulty stepping over the edge. Excellent quality and value. Easy to use.

This item impressed with its construction and installation. Would recommend to others. However the top is curved and I could see someone putting too much weight on it with wet hands and take a tumble getting out of tub.

If you have a bathtub and no where to grab in the event of a potential fall etc., then this product is for you. Simple to install, strong and helpful for getting in/out of the bathtub. Highly recommend this product.

Just to have a grab bar near the toilet or on the tub, this thing is great. It's so easy to attach to the side of the tub. I put mine over top of a section of rubber shelf liner just to give it some grip, and it works great. My toilet is right next to the tub, and it's easy to grab from there or while in the tub or doing other things. My niece set it up for me, and I couldn't be happier. Great product.*** I should also include that I'm a small person and don't weigh much, so I don't know how it would work for someone else. I'm just relaying my own experience with it.

This handle is amazing. Super sturdy and helps getting in and out of the tub. My husband has a back problem and we only have tub/shower combo so he uses it to get in and out. Every night he says this is the best thing you’ve bought!! Just measure tub width and just tighten it. We bought a second one for our other bathroom. I highly recommend it!!!!!!

This grip is perfect for when your movements are restricted like getting in and out of the tub, and even using the toilette. Its supereasy to attach and adjust. Now after daily use for 2 months it still sits as tight as when we attached it to tubrim the first time. I'm never worried putting my full weight on it when getting in / out of tub. It's even great when using the toilet in my smallish bathroom. I totally put weight on and hold on the grip on the left side and commode on the right. Works both for sitting down and getting up very slowly in my case.Can absolute recommend for injured / handicapped people (in my case right hip fracture & fractured foot left). So it was absolutely vital to have a 100% safe tool aiding me during this time. I tell everyone that this grip is the best purchase I've made in a long time, a heaven sent for movement-restricted folks.UPDATE 2/8/2023 This is still one of the best products purchased. Everything said initially is still true. Sadly I can’t purchase it in Europe, and it’s too heavy to pack with my limited suitcase weight. I’ll miss it.

All of the metal components are top-notch and very strong. We got it for my grandfather, to help him out of the tub, but when I tested it, I was very impressed with how solid everything felt. I'm a big guy (6'2", 240lbs), and I feel confident in this device's ability to help me up if I needed it.Only one issue: There are three foam-rubber pads attached to the surfaces that will make contact with your tub. The foam-rubber helps it grip the tub without scratching/damaging the tub. BUT, when you then fill the air with steam from a hot bath, the adhesive that holds those foam-rubber pads to the device starts to get tacky and let go. Before you know it the device has "walked" up the edge of the tub wall, leaving the foam-rubber pads behind, and is no longer secure in the least. I tried several different glues to get it to stop doing that, with inconsistent results (edit: I'm talking about gluing the foam pads back onto the device, not gluing it to the tub. There is absolutely no glue on the tub, and this whole device can be completely removed from the tub without anything left behind, simply by loosening the clamp/vise grip, which is done by hand, no tools.). After many experiments, I finally found one glue that did the job: Gorilla Glue.I removed the foam-rubber pads from the device, scrapped the excess adhesive residue off (with the use of a little Goo-Off). Then applied some Gorilla Glue and followed the directions for it's application (don't forget to activate it with water). Knowing that the Gorilla Glue would swell up like a foam and get all over the place, I put several large books (that we didn't mind if they got ruined) in between the "clamp/vise" of the device, with a few sheets of paper towel between the device and the books (so it wouldn't stick to the books too bad, necessitating a whole other clean-up project). Once it had all permanently set, I removed the books and paper towel, trimmed the excess a little, and then re-clamped the device to the bathtub. That was over a year ago and it hasn't moved a millimeter (literally, I check it often; this is Grandpa's safety we're talking about here).So, if anyone else has trouble with the foam-rubber pads sliding around, Gorilla Glue works well to resolve that issue.And once you effect that little work-around, this a really great product that exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely purchase it again if I were in need another.(UPDATE: It's been nearly two and a half years since I purchased, used my Gorilla Glue fix, and last installed this grab bar; and it is still working flawlessly. I have not had to re-seat or even re-tighten the clamping/vise connector. There has been no rust or other signs of wear. All in all, this product is working perfectly and I have absolutely no complaints. It is still solid as a rock. I am very impressed with the quality of this product and would immediately buy it again without a second thought should I ever have need for another one.) I monitor my reviews, and if you have any questions, please feel free to comment on my review and I will answer (might take me a few days).(UPDATE: It has now been five years, and this device is still operating perfectly. I have never had to resituate it, nor re-tighten it. It's literally been maintenance-free. And it still remains entirely rust free as well. I simply could not be any happier with this product (When was the last time any of us said that about anything?), and still whole-heartedly recommend it.)

Ideal for getting me out of the bath. good buy.

I have a huge, deep Jacuzzi spa bathtub. I also have rheumatoid arthritis, and I've recently had serious spine surgery. Because my balance, strength and range of motion are still pretty limited, I was afraid to try getting into and out of my bathtub. I bought this Medline Bathtub Bar after seeing it on Amazon, and after reading glowing reports from other users. Those glowing reports were accurate! I've just successfully navigated my first real bath in more than 3 months, and it wouldn't have been possible without this Bathtub Bar. It really does lock firmly to the side of the tub, and it's made of sturdy metal, not flimsy plastic. I felt perfectly safe and secure supporting my entire body-weight on it. It supports up to 250 lbs, and it won't scratch or chip your tub, even if your tub is fiberglass, as mine is. The only caveat is that the bar won't lock firmly to a tub that doesn't have at least 6-or-so straight linear inches along the side; if the shape of the tub is entirely round or curved, the bar won't be able to clamp on firmly enough to offer safe support. Other than that, though, don't hesitate to buy this terrific product-I feel like it's enabled me to reclaim an enjoyable part of my life that I thought was gone. I couldn't be happier!
