Description
The EZee Life HL190 is a tilt shower commode with an 18 in (46 cm) seat: it tilts 20 degrees back for showering, bedside toileting or use over a toilet.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Tilt: 20 degrees posterior for washing and hair care.
- Seat: 18 by 17 in (46 by 43 cm), open front as standard, with a removable insert.
- Wheels: four 5 in (13 cm) locking casters as standard, or optional 24 in (61 cm) rear wheels for self-propulsion.
- Frame: aluminum, 36 lbs (16.4 kg) on casters or 47.4 lbs (21.5 kg) on the 24 in wheels.
- Flip-back padded arms, a headrest, swing-away footrests (14 to 20 in), anti-tippers and a seat belt.
- Slide-on pail and removable insert; tool-free adjustments.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits someone who cannot sit upright through a shower and needs an attendant to tilt and move the chair. The 18 in seat is the middle width: choose the HL155 for a 15 in seat or the HL195 for 20 in. A non-tilt commode suits someone who can stay upright.
Will it fit?
- Overall 22 in (56 cm) wide on casters, or 27 in (69 cm) with the 24 in wheels; measure the doorway and shower entry.
- Seat height 21, 22 or 23 in (53, 56 or 58 cm); toilet clearance 18, 19 or 20 in (46, 48 or 51 cm).
- Overall depth 40 in (102 cm) with footrests out.
- A free home assessment can measure the route and the toilet.
Using it day to day
- Lock the casters before a transfer, and flip the arms back for a side transfer.
- Tilt only as far as the chair allows, with the attendant supporting the person.
- Set the footrests to the person's leg length, and use the seat belt when the chair is tilted.
- Slide the pail out for bedside use, then clean and refit it.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- 286 lbs (130 kg), for sitting, not standing.
- The standard chair is attendant-moved; only the optional 24 in rear wheels let the user self-propel.
- Tilt is 20 degrees posterior, not a full recline.
- It is a shower and toileting chair, not a wheelchair for outdoor travel.
Which version should I choose?
- Open-front seat with four 5 in casters is standard.
- Four-way seat or closed-front seat for a different opening.
- 24 in rear wheels for self-propulsion, which changes the width to 27 in (69 cm).
How does it compare?
- HL155: the same tilt family on a 15 in (38 cm) seat.
- HL195: the same tilt family on a 20 in (51 cm) seat.
- Shower commodes: non-tilt chairs in the same range.
