The WL1 toilet lift prevents falls and keeps you from getting stuck in an embarrassing situation. Whether you live in a house or an independent living apartment, a toilet lift is a great way to avoid needing to move to the next level of care. Often, toileting problems force people into assisted living, but with a toilet lift you can toilet yourself and remain living independently.
The WL1 Bidet Toilet Lift has clean styling so it won't ruin the look of your bathroom. It also includes some luxury features to make toileting a more pleasant experience.
The Dignity Lifts WL1 Contents Include

- The toilet lift provides a full 14" of lift
- 4 wide feet make it sturdy and stable
- Works with almost all toilet shapes and heights.
- Fits in most bathrooms
- Uses your toilet's existing water supply, so plumbing is easy.
- Lift controls and a warning alarm are integrated into the handlebars
- Requires a nearby GFI electrical outlet
- The bidet needs enough power to heat the water in the lift. It also uses electricity to operate the lifting mechanism, the blow dryer, and the heated seat. The power cord is 31 inches long and contains an inline GFI, so you can use it with an extension cord, but we do not recommend running an extension cord across the floor of your bathroom.
- 300 lb. capacity, 19 1/2 inches of hip room (distance between the handles)
- Raises you 14 inches up from a seated position (measured at the rear of the seat). That puts you back on your feet safely.
- It takes the Dignity Lift approximately 20 seconds to go from bottom to top. This steady pace avoids light headedness and allows limbs that may have stiffened to loosen up
Installing this bidet toilet lift requires a small amount of plumbing skill. Installing our bidet lift is not difficult but does require a small amount of plumbing skill. If you can install a new faucet, you can install the WL1. The lift "Ts" into the plumbing line that goes to your toilet. So it won't need a new supply line, it uses what is already there. It doesn't need hot water, our Bidet Lift has a hot water heater inside the lift.
For the electrical hookup, our bidet toilet lift needs a three prong plug. The lift includes a Ground Fault Interupt within the 31" long power cord. This cord is approved to be used with an extension cord if you need it. The electrical cord exits the lift at the bottom left hand side.
We suggest you use a handyman for the installation. The WL1 is a little heavy, so you want to make sure the installer can lift 50 pounds, but once in place, it is extremely stable and secure
Check these things:
How far is your toilet from other things, like side walls, a tub, or vanity? The WL1 lifts need 24" of width, so your toilet needs to have 12" of clearance from the center-line of the toilet to any obstruction. (see picture below).
Does the bathroom door need to swing there? The swing of the door might interfere with your toilet lift. Measure 6 inches in front of your toilet's bowl and then be sure there is 24" of width available there.
Here is information about what toilets work with our toilet lifts.
Height: The height of the rim of the toilet needs to be between 14" to 18" with our
WL1 lifts.
Width of the toilet at the bowl: The width of the toilet is not usually a problem. Any toilet bowl that is less than 16 1/2" wide will fit inside the sides of our toilet lifts.
Toilets that have tanks with "front flair" may not fit: The shape of most toilets works great with all of our toilet lifts. Our lifts fit hundreds and hundreds of different toilet designs. It is rare to find a toilet that our lifts don't work with, but they do exist. Some modernist toilets have a tank that flairs forward. If that flair goes too far forward, the toilet won't fit any toilet lift. Here is a graphic to show you how to tell if our lift will work with your toilet.
Here are some example toilets:
- A standard style (two piece) toilet.
- The WL1 is less than 24" wide, so they need some space on the side of your toilet lift (the WL1 has a width of 23 7/8")
- Narrow toilets work well for a toilet lift.
- Will work with vertical tank design
- Will work with 18" rim height (which is tall) but will still work
- a wall-mounted toilet with an egg shape. We checked the manufacturer measurements on this toilet to make sure it would still fit inside the toilet lift and it will.
- Our toilet lifts will fit a composting toilet too.
- Works with once piece toilet. Flat front tanks and do not curve forward at the outside ends.
