Shower stool - Tom
Anonymous
Tom stool in taupe

I got the Tom stool in taupe. I am really happy with it; I like that it doesn’t look like a medical item but works just as effectively. It’s also very sturdy; I previously had a cheaper stool from Bunnings that was more plastic than metal and it broke and got mouldy quickly. The Tom stool’s design only having non-slip plastic stoppers on the feet means so long as I dry those thoroughly it won’t get mouldy. The stool is a tiny bit high for me at 5’4” but not uncomfortable by any means. Would definitely recommend for someone who needs a shower seat that is super high quality but doesn’t want an obvious sign of needing medical support in their home.

Thank you so much for your detailed review of our Tom shower stool. We appreciate your kind words and are very happy to hear that you are happy with your purchase. And thank you for recommending it to others. It truely means a lot to us. :)

Extendable extra long travel shoe horn

A great asset for any aged group

A well constructed item. I’v tried other collapsible shoe horns but this runs rings around the others. It is easy to use when sitting down or standing up. I have no problems giving 5 stars.. I would give more if I could!

Electric salt and pepper grinder set
Paul Forsythe
Seems to be better designed than competitors but too early to tell overall.

The product seems to be better designed than its competitors which we have used. The grinding action seems less "strenuous" than others and the LED placement shows better design. It is still too early to tell how robust the units are, which is why the 4/5 stars given. Grinding is effective so far though.

Electric salt and pepper grinder set

Hi Paul, Thank you for your detailed review! We are glad to hear that you are satisfied with the design and grinding action of our electric salt and pepper grinder set. We understand your concern about the durability and we assure you that our grinders will last you a long time.

Multifunctional night light
Mr Erin J Potter
Auto night-light

Looking for a replacement to a similar item we had had for many years, I found this multifunction light at a very good price. The auto night-light function works exceptionally well, and made us see just how dim our old unit had become. The other functions all work well, so very happy with the purchase, and the service.

Rather pleased especially in the night hours

Rather pleased especially in the night hours, excellent! but your documentation is not too good at all. Suggest you modify your naming of the clock from Dementia, that labelling does not sit good on me at all. I am over eighty but
not demented, well not yet! good luck.

Dementia clock with voice reminders

Dear David, thank you for your feedback on our clock. We are glad to hear that you are pleased with its performance, especially during the night hours.

We apologise if the labeling of the clock as 'Dementia clock' may have caused discomfort for you. Our intention was to make the clock easier to find online for Occupational Therapists and Support Coordinators, but we understand your concern and will definetely think about other naming options.

We truely appreciate your support and wish you a Merry Christmas.
