It started with a 6'7" son. The toilets - even those that were "high" - were still a long way down. Once it was tried by his grandparents, who suffer from joint disease, they too requested several for their house. Since then other family members have also seen the ease on and off. It puts a toilet seat the height of a normal chair seat. I've done 5 now.

The foam gaskets that were provided are no good. Went to store & bought 2 wax gaskets to prevent leaks. Love the height it provides. Others say it breaks hope not! & hope tiolet stays on it & doesn't fall off!

We were really disappointed. We didn't try to put together first but painted it to match toilet.
If we had used it we would have had two places to clean--the ledge where the two come together and the floor! Bought the taller toilet instead.

My mother recently moved in with us due to health problems. Severe arthritis and two failed back surgeries limit her mobility. She needed an ADA heighth toilet to get up and down. These range from [$]. The Toilevator does the job for a fraction of the cost. My brother-in-law and I installed the Toilevator in about three hours. Neither of us are what I consider a real "handyman". Although I wouldn't call the installation easy, it is very doable with two people.The product blends well with our white porcelain toilet and is very professional looking. My mother is very happy with the height of the toilet, the looks of the product and that she no longer has to use a messey riser ring on top of the toilet. We're very satisfied!

We have a toilet seat bidet. This was the best way for us to raise the toilet and still use the bidet. We used a professional plumber that was able to use grout to level the floor.

Great find better than a handicap toilet

This is a great product. Everything listed in the ad works. My son installed it in minutes and what a blessing it is to me. I have arthritis and a regular toilet makes it hard to get off from and the toilets seats are ugly and difficult to clean. I found the this product by accident I didn't know it existed till I was browsing the internet. Great buy, worth the money and you won't be disappointed. I have already recommended to someone whose mother is having trouble using her toilet.

I was thrilled how quickly a friend installed the Toilevator. Friends and family do not even know they are using a handicap device. My sons comment that it is easier to hit dead center and thus not soiling the rim.

We were so excited to purchase this for my elderly mother-in-law. We had a professional plumber install it. Even the plumber was impressed with the product. My 75 year old mother-in-law was thrilled to have the height of a handicapped toilet.
Two weeks later, my mother-in-law was scheduled for a colonoscopy. The day before, the patient takes various "cleansing" liquids in order to "clean out" the colon. What a horror - as she was running back and forth to the bathroom for the product to begin leaking and then break! It was mortifying for her and a giant mess!
We ended up rushing out to buy a portable toilet so that she could at least finish the cleansing before her procedure. What a big disappointment.

This a a wonderful product and elevates the average toilet to a good chair height. The comfort height toilets that are out there are not really chair height. My only about complaint about this device is that it only comes in a stark while color. I took it to [...] to see if there is a toilet that would basically match and believe me it doesn't exist. So what I did is I got an off-white spray paint for plastic and painted it. Now it blends and the appearance is not so objectionable. My next move is to find a regular paint that is as close to the toilet color as possible and paint it so that it matches. So I wouldn't let the stark white color put you off. The benefit far outweighs the bright white color.

I bought this Toilevator because I have arthritis in my hips. It really makes a difference. It looks nice and is easy to clean. The hose that came with it did not fit and it needed extra securing to the floor to prevent movement, but in all it was easy to install.

The Toilevator is great when you want a stylish toilet but need the extra height. I looked at the taller toilets and they all looked very institutional. The Toilevator does does not detract from the stylishness of my decorator toilet.

Although the instructions for installation said there were up and down arrows, and a and b markings on some parts I,nor several other people who looked could not find them. Luckily I am a handy person who has had some plumbing experience. Other than no markings this is a great product, and am thinking of adding another in my bathroom as it is very comfortable.

My wife fell and broke her hip and right wrist. She had two operations and many pins installed. Even though this was 8 months ago, and she is healed now, going to the bathroom remained a difficulty for her. This product under a new and higher toilet gave her the "lift" she needed! It's perfect!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not only was it inexpensive to buy, but inexpensive to have installed. Visitors can't get over how convenient it isto sit on, and that pertains to both children and adults. No need to install hand rails or bars for those who are disabled, because it beats sitting on the usual midget height toilets, and easier to rise from. I've had mine for two years now, and paid much more than it is now priced at.

This is so much better than elevated seats. Much sturdier and safe. Easy to install. Looks fine and not bulky. Can be painted if you like. I am so glad I found this. Allegro has the best price on it too. No need for a wax ring, comes with all you need for an easy install. Highly recommend for anyone with problems rising and/or sitting.

We were unable to use this product because it would not mount with the bottom of the toilet. [...] it ended up in the trash and we lost our money. We went and bought a whole new toilet that was 17" high. Needless to say my husband was very dissatified with this product.
