(Note: The first version of the review has been changed a bit)
Objective and subjective findings:
Positives:
- Good looks (off-white -Fits well with our sanitary color Jasmin)
- Smooth contours, rounded corners / edges
- Folding up
- Concealed fixing
- Easily removable from the support plate (1 Allen screw below)
Negatives:
- Installation problems (see below)
- Side cover of chrome body only chromed plastic (I do not)
Let joints / undercuts the stick permanently evtl.schlecht clean -
- Small holes in the seat (difficult to clean); 1 larger hole (if any) would have been enough
- Something lightweight construction of the support plate / bracket (see below)
- Lock against lifting off / -wegkippen of the support plate only 1 MINUTE (!!!) Allen screw.
Easy Installation Problem:
The space in which the screw heads come to lie is extremely scarce.
If a screw wrong (who already drilled exactly perpendicular?), So the hexagon head is on one side in front on, then it is already tight.
I have dispensed with shims, because that would probably no longer fit in.
In addition, you have little chance of vertical correction when the anchors sitting not exactly (I had to wegfeilen 2 mm at the edge of the screw hole of the support plate, as an anchor was sitting a little higher)
The support plate is flush against the wall. This goes with the supplied collarless plugs for concrete, but hardly with the usual anchors because their collar protrudes slightly. I voted for the hollow brick wall cement anchor = anchor grid + special mortar + metal threaded sleeve (not shortened !!) used and the project by design of me approximately 1 mm from the tiled wall. Thus, the support plate lifts off easily. Both problems could be due to design change
Fix (0.5 cm +)!
Addendum of 12/09/2012
The initial problem with the seat support gap to the wall (at rest) has improved slightly:
Apparently I had the Allen initially not sufficiently tightened.
Now the seat support is located (in spite of the dowel supernatant) to some extent on the wall.
But when loaded (Entry / Exit I weigh 93 kg) bends the seat support above about 1.5 mm away from the wall and cushions in relief (so far) back. At my anchors it should not be (partly mortared, M-threaded / so).
I suspect that the aluminum carrier plate system is designed a bit weak and cushions.
Overall, it seems to me the system is also too little (assembly) to be fault tolerant.
Note: I wanted to lubricate the Allen screw, so they do not eat. If you do this well, not quite turn the screw out (I got them only with difficulty again in the thread, as it tilted slightly in the soft aluminum!)
The seat looks but not (yet) really good and you can sit quite comfortably. Above all, he is not in the way when folded up.
Addendum of 14/02/2013
Now, after a long experience with the seat I can see that some of the initial concerns were unfounded. The seat can be previously cleaned reasonably well and the stability is ok
My criticism regarding mounting and Sitzlochung I think still in existence but that should discourage anyone from buying but only point to avoidable problems.
Overall, I am otherwise very satisfied so far with the seat!
