FLIPPER - the Most Reliable and Inexpensive Toilet Seat Lifter

The product works. With some fiddling you can adjust the tightness of the string to get the seat to stay just below vertical when you hold your foot on the pedal (while urinating), so that when you take your foot off the pedal, the seat comes down. If the string is loose, the lid does not close when you take your foot off. I learnt not to take my foot off suddenly otherwise the seat crashes down. The installation required drilling a small pilot hole for a screw under the seat. The top of the pulling system fitted nicely clamping onto the rim of the tank with no tools and without obstructing the lid closure. The instructions were not great, but adequate. For this reason I removed a star, also because the screw that the instructions said was supplied, was not.

Tried to slip it in without the wife's approval. yeah... when she saw it she simply said "no way". So I had no choice but to remove it. Which is fine since It did not work anyway (lifted to about the forty percent level, not nearly high enough). I am very mechanical, but you would have to attach it within one to one and a half inches from the hinge to work as advertised. The convenient attach point was about three inches. I was going to attempt re-attaching it there but did not have the chance. Frankly, I did not think it would work (but love monkeying around with stuff like this). The stress of pulling so close to the hinge would place the toilet seat and the simple supplied string (tinsel strengths) to their limits. Sure, could replace the string, but physics indicates that this product relies on a cheap initial selling price and few returns in order to make a profit. Fun to play with but not as advertised.

This is very cheaply made of flimsy plastic.A boy scout could do better with a stick and some string.I wouldn't mind all that if it worked.I installed it exactly according to instructions. I measured and laid out to the 1/8" specified. I tightened the string just as instructed. Then I stepped on it.The toilet tank wiggled alarmingly. The toilet seat was dragged to the side. Then it rose up a couple of inches. That was it.Totally useless.Out the Window go the beans ...

t's pretty great. Not the best quality thing I've ever bought, but there's nothing else quite like it. I have a bad back so i hate bending down to put the lid up and down. A little squeaky.

haha if it actually worked would have been an great idea. cheaply made, falls apart only lifts tolet seat 1/8-1/4 of the way up if you tighten the string so it opens more it will keep the seat from closing all the way making it difficult females to use because you cant sit on a floating seat and it difficult for males to use because the seat doesnt open wide enough.

this is gimmicky and horrible. for starters, they expect you to DRILL THROUGH YOUR TOILET SEAT to hook it up. secondly, the string is stretchy, only allowing the lid to go 1/4 to 1/2 the way up. this would make an okay white elephant gift, but it is not useful at all. See you at the dollar store, flipper.

Pretty cheap, and unable to use it. I could do the same with a rock and a piece of string. Save your money.

Doesn't work at all. I ended throwing it in the trash.
