Essential Aids

The lotion applicator has been very useful and easy to use. I give a mark of 4/5.

The Dunlop Slippers are an excellent product. I think the size could be a little more generous as the sizing was too exact. Warm comfortable and nonslip. I rate these 4.5 out of 5.

Essential Aids offered the adjustable footstool at a very competitive price and, having dealt with them once before, I decided upon this purchase. Delivery was so speedy that it completely took me by surprise and I can only state that I am, for the most part, delighted with the product. Its range of adjustment more than exceeds my expectation, it is easy to use and does not look clinical or out of place in my less than modern home.

My mother has severe arthritis and needs quite a high toilet seat as she tends to fall on the seat when she sits down as her knees are painful, so this raised toilet seat was ideal as it was very high. Ratings out of 5, I would give a 4.

Savanah bath seat arrived on time, well packaged, assembly instructions were not the clearest, but figured it out. Does the job it was bought for, 4 out of 5.

I am really pleased with the batwing pillowcases, they wash really well and fit fairly snugly. Rating of four out of five for the pillowcases.

We are very pleased with the Breezy moonlite wheelchair and cushion. It is light and fits In the boot of my Ford Focus, even with the foot rests fitted, quite easily, is very easy to set up and rolls smoothly.

The toe washer is rather bulky but quite good at its job.

The Easi grip Chiropodist Scissors are very good and sharp. Easy to hold. Only small gripe is that I wish the blades were a little thinner for cutting more finely.

I am satisfied with the Savannah bath seat. It allows me to sit and have a shower in the bath. I bought the higher version of it, but I should have had a little bit higher.

Toilet seat - functional but essential (!) - good value for money - 4.

I was very pleased with my toilet seat surround which I thought was good value for money. I received it quicker than I thought as well.

Yes, we were very satisfied with the design and quality of the lightweight aluminium rollator. The recipient found it much more comfortable than using a stick. My only comment would be that it needs an extra set of holes in the handle tube to enable the handles to be higher up. I would rate this item as 4/5.

We purchased the replacement rollator bag from you and were pleased with the item. The only thing I would improve with it, would be the fixings. Instead of Velcro, I would like to see studs, as in the original, as it more difficult for the patient to remove. The bag itself though is of good quality and the delivery was good as well. 4 out of 5, only because of the Velcro.

The Crutch Pod that we purchased has been extremely useful, attached to one of my wife's crutches it carries the portable telephone, hankies etc. It has been much talked about by the 'physios' and at her next appointment I am giving them your web address - they will either order some or pass on the website. This is a really useful bit of kit - rating - 4.5. I would recommend it.

I am very satisfied with the Prima Outdoor Grab Rail, it was just what we needed. However, it would have been an asset if the 4 screws that were required had been supplied with it as we had a problem acquiring the correct ones. We give it 4 out of 5 rate. M.schofield.

I was extremely satisfied with the Arthritis Grip Cane Walking Stick. I give it 4 out of 5 as I would have preferred another hole for adjustment, otherwise it was perfect. B.Slayer.

This Floor Mounted Folding Rail was bought for a customer of mine whose wife had managed to pull the electric towel rail off the wall. She was using it as an aid to lift herself off the toilet. As with many properties these days the walls are just stud and plaster board so anything wall mounted would not last. This floor mounted model fitted the bill nicely and with 6 bolts attaching it to the concrete floor, it's good and solid so gives confidence to the user. J Haynes

I am very pleased with the Ringo Harley Proform Cushion and would rate it a 4 out of 5. Thank you. W.Boon

These comfort and style crutches are much easier to use, more comfortable and more stable than standard NHS crutches. The gave me the confidence to graduate onto sticks just 10 days after a total hip replacement.
