Customer Reviews for HealthSmart Suction Cup 16 in. Grab Bar with BactiX in Sand

Safety with Easy Install. Mom loves her new shower grab bar. She feels safe enterring and leaving the shower now. Super easy to install. Perfect size for her 4" tile shower wall.

It didn’t stay on the wall

Instructions to install devices were clear and easy to follow. Since initially installing the devices have performed as advertised.

It did not stick to our marble walls. But a did sticknto a shower insert.

Product should be discontinued. After falling a few times, one stayed one then fell off ten hours later. Woke me up during the night. The second one stayed on without falling. However, it fell two days later. Will return both. Will buy a more expensive grab bar which hopefully has greater suction

After a few weeks would not hold

The product was fine. Unfortunately, it didn't work with the type of tiles I have in my shower. It doesn't work on painted walls either. I was only able to get it to stick to the bathtub's smooth surface. Unfortunately, it serves no purpose their. For me anyway.

Excellent grip and suction! I really like the safety feature of the green and red lights.

Very strong suction and a good safety feature with red light if suction is broke.

Great little product. You don't need to have a safety bar to take your entire weight, although this one could. I have two of these in by tub shower and definitely feel a lot safer with entering and exiting. I was concerned that they might take up too much space and encroach on me while I am showering, thus making the actual act of showering less safe and more prone to a fall. That concern was not born out in the slightest in actual practice. The green bars showing that the suction is still adequate for proper function are very tiny, but it is something easy to get used to and a small price to pay for the added safety that this simple device gives. Love the product!

Wont stick to textured tile!

Works like intended. It stays on the wall with no slippage. I would recommend this product.

It will not stay on the tub.It keeps falling off.

I needed a grab bar following hip replacement. This is a perfect product. I heartily recommend it.

These would nor adhere to any surface so would not work for the purpose that I bought them.

The first time I put it up, it fell down. Then I followed the instructions and it has stayed in place for weeks. It really helps me maintain my balance when stepping in and out of the tub. It's great because it's not permanent since I rent my home. I would definitely recommend it.

An inexpensive safety item for people with plastic shower stalls. It seems to stick well as can be expected, but the red/green indicators that tell warn you just before the handle falls off the wall are cheaply made (and very similar to the same sensors on other brands). I had to exchange 2 handles because only one sensor was operational. On the third handle, I was able to free up the plastic mechanism to get the green to appear at all on both sensors. I still had to put a drop of JB Weld on the end of the push pin to extend it to get it to engage the green when the suction was fully activated. If you are buying for the safety indicators, look elsewhere. I can't afford a fall and have to get all the safety I can. Fortunately, I am able to fix things. A better design of adhesion-indicators are built in the handle, not a tab after thought on the side of the suction housing. The third example is working for me now. I would not recommend unless you are a gambler or a handy repair man. Home Depot was very nice about all the exchanges,

Very secure.... does the job and looks good

Terrible product, does not stay on wall for more than ten minutes. Must return/exchange.. Remove this product from your shelves. Color is great, but waste of space.Very dangerous if used.

The suction cups stayed on the shower for maybe 15 minutes and then fell off. One never did properly attach. I couldn't rely on it to get out of the tub.
