Device to get into and out of the bath

[Segilla]

Has anyone experience of the Mermaid? Is it worth the money?

You might be better off buying a reconditioned one:

Dear Segilla,
There are a lot of bath aids out there which are very expensive and to be frank not worth the money that some companies charge.
There are many questions you need answered before you buy. What is the nature of your disability and how is it expected to progress. You might buy something that will be useless in a few months/years. How good is the service agreement after you buy. How well made is it and how quickly will it wear out.
Contact your local mobility centre for advice and contact your local occupational therapy department and physiotherapy department at your local hospital to see what they recommend.

My friend has a Bath Knight and she loves it.

I have a bath aid in my garage, it's doing nothing at the moment, it's fine works well, lowers you into the bath and out again, needs a new cover, I have the manual too, if it'll help you can have it for free, just pay for the courier!.......

seriously Segilla, if you need a bath lift, this one is really good, but does need a new cover, which you can buy easily from their websie, I don't want any money for it!........just pay the courier for the carriage, and you are welcome to have it!.......

That's a very generous offer Welshlibranr. Thanks very much. To help me decide, can you please tell me the make and model name.

PS. I meant to say I'd not dream of having it for free!
