With the bucket removed, can this commode be placed over the toilet bowl thus providing an elevated toilet seat ?

Yes! Absolutely! That is exactly what we needed it for and it was PERFECT! Great for post-surgery temporary use and also perfect for my 92 year-old dad's daily use (he's 240 lbs -- so it's sturdy). Has been in use for a whole year now and still in great shape, also easily adjustable. A terrific product!

Yes. You remove the bucket and put in the special sleeve which makes sure everything falls into the toilet. You need to make sure you have enough room at the sides of your toilet, the chair is 27 inches wide.

Yes, it can be used over the toilet; with the adjustable legs, I have it so there is about 3 inches between the toilet and the bottom of the seat. In order for the seat to be positioned well over the toilet, I did have to remove the toilet seat. There is a removable bucket, but it does not have the bottom cut out of it.

Yes, this product can be set over a regular toilet. The back is adjustable, as well as removable, so it can be slid in closer to the chair seat to miss the toilet tank. The seat will be approx. five inches higher than the toilet due to the support brackets under the seat and the thickness of the seat.

This is a commode it would not fit over another commode. I have several commodes and my husband found this one the most comfortable. It would fit over a regular toilet as the legs can be raises or lowered

Not well. It was too short for my bowl and mine is standard round. Urine got between the riser and the bowl top creating a stinky mess and you have to remove the riser to clean, as it does not lift up like the toilet seat.

No, I wouldn't try that. It's never even entered my mind. It's meant to be set on the porcelain toilet rim - after you've lifted up the existing seat. Depending upon the shape of their toilet bowls, some folks apparently have to use the included sticky pads. I've not encountered that. That's why I love this item so well. For me, it fits perfectly the way it comes out of the box.

Lift the lid and the seat. Then place the bucket or the funnel in between the two supports. The funnel is for use over a toilet.

I haven't tried that , I bought it to used as a second toilet & shower chair to put in my walk in shower. I don't need it to fit over my toilet, my whole bathroom is wheelchair accessible. It does look like it would fit over my toilet. When I tried to use it with my parents I found the brakes didn't hold very well, so the chair move a little when they tried to get up, this isn't very safe.

The seat height is 19"-23" for this item. As long as your toilet is less than 21" tall I would say you shouldn't have a problem using this commode as a raised toilet seat. Thank you!

There is a toilet seat on which to sit. The bucket (with lid) removes easily so the unit could fit over a porcelain toilet. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, but it fits over a standard toilet with the bucket removed with no problems. It is heavy compared to the one Medicare provided, but it is made from steel tubing instead of aluminium. The weight is actually a plus because it helps to keep the product positioned. I will highly recommend this product.

As far as I can tell, the answer is basically no, not while someone is sitting on the commode seat. The seat itself must be raised in order to remove the bucket. A seated person has space between the legs in front and in the back that would permit reaching down for washing but only if they are quite thin in the hips and thighs.

I would say no. Our toilet is 16 inches with the lid and the seat up. We put it over the toilet with the lid and seat up. But if we put the seat down, it wouldn't fit over it then. I hope this helps.

Yes. The toilet seat just attaches on top; you can use the existing seat bolts/screws to re-attach the seat.

I would say "no". I have a regular toilet bowl and the front bar sits on the edge of the bowl, under the seat. A small portion of the bar edge is visible from the front, inside. I think the front bar would be in the way of "things" if used on an elongated bowl. Also, this bar lifts up over the toilet seat when raised and frames the tank when not needed. This wouldn't clear the type of seat you have.

Never tried to do so. Feet can be raised/lowered to fit over a toilet or chamber pot, but we only used it in the shower.
