  3. Dycem Non Slip Reel (20cm x 2m Black)
    Great product, works as described
    Review by V. Wells Posted on 18/01/2025
    We have used this product before. This lives up to expectations, grips things very well and we like the more discreet black colour, compared to the brighter colours they also do. Would buy again if needed.

  14. Uccello Ergonomic Easy Pour Kettle and Tipper
    This has been a godsend
    Review by d. oxley Posted on 16/01/2025
    Both my wife and myself have.osteo arthritis in our wrist this has been a godsend the kettle light to lift out to fill or you can leave on stand and fill with jug. There is no effort weight to filling your cup so easy no straining on the wrist realy good value

  15. Uccello Ergonomic Easy Pour Kettle and Tipper
    Good kettle and easy to use
    Review by J. Williams Posted on 16/01/2025
    This quite a large kettle because of the cradle which holds it. It is easy to use but I cannot rate it as outstanding as I find it almost impossible to read the water level marks. The manufacturer should bear in mind that this kettle is attractive in particular to the elderly, many of whom have problems with their eyesight.

  16. Newel Rail (Left)
    Just the right product
    Review by M. Tailor Posted on 16/01/2025
    Just the right product to assist going up and going down the stairs

    Review by p. kendall Posted on 16/01/2025
    I've just had a hip replacement and used the tray on the bed to help with tasks as I recover.

  18. Paediatric Wheeled Walker Frame
    Just what was needed
    Review by TG Posted on 15/01/2025
    Good price, right size for our maybe slightly smaller than average 6 year old on one of the middle extension settings. Light and so easy enough for him to move while he can’t put weight on his broken leg. More stable than crutches. We didn’t need four wheels as it’s a hop he has to do, not continuous walking, so the two wheels are great as he doesn’t have to pick up the whole thing to move it, but can lift and slide it forward before dropping it down to be stable to hop forward. Colour makes everyone smile!

  19. Newel Rail (Right)
    These items have been worth their weight in gold
    Review by n. clark Posted on 15/01/2025
    There has been a vast improvement in confidence in my stepfather's approach to the stairs. These items have been worth their weight in gold.

  21. Etac Clean Wheeled Shower Commode Chair (Fixed Height 55cm)
    Thoughtful design.
    Review by T. Sloss Posted on 15/01/2025
    Bought for someone prone to falling despite multiple hand rails in a wetroom to provide extra security and improve confidence. Good design fits over back to wall wc and comes fully assembled, apart from foot rest, so should be easier to clean than more complicated designs. Sturdy and solid.

  24. Aluminium Axilla Crutches (Small)
    Great to have the old-type crutches.
    Review by L. Mackie Posted on 15/01/2025
    I Ordered 'small' and when they arrived it was easy to move the slots to the correct places for my height. I would never be able to use the modern NHS arm crutches as I am not strong enough, so I'm relieved that one can still get hold of these sensible ones.

  25. Adjustable Wide Based Sticks (Quadruped)
    Excellent
    Review by F. Fowle Posted on 15/01/2025

    Review by A. Robinson Posted on 08/01/2025
    Our delightful post lady was quite upset when she handed me the parcel, after reading “elephant feet”. The order was for my dog’s chair, as he couldn’t quite see comfortably out of the window to keep an eye on my neighbours. He is very satisfied with the order.

  72. Liquid Level Indicator
    Excellent performer
    Review by P. Sebborn Posted on 07/01/2025
    I previously had the equivalent device from RNIB but dropped it into liquid so it ceased to function. Yours was a fraction of the price, and works much better. It has a stepped guide so the user can set the depth of liquid required; the previous item jad a similar slider, but no lip to rest on the side of the cup, it always fell to the lowest possible level.

  77. Deluxe Wheelchair Cosy (Pink - Long)
    An excellent Warm & Dry Wheelchair Cover
    Review by J. Ashworth Posted on 04/01/2025
    This was such a good buy at the last minute, when temperatures were forecast to drop on our holiday at Center Parcs. The cover was easy to use and kept Mum dry when it rained but she was also kept warm when the temperature dropped below zero. It made all the difference between her having to stay indoors or come outside with us and enjoy the Winter Wonderland. It is good quality and a good price with excellent delivery service on top. Would certainly recommend.
