Any problems with the plastic cracking when used under a standard toilet seat?

We have had ours for six months now, no wear and tear or cracking anywhere. This has been a phenomenal product for us, If I had of had any idea about how well this works, we would of had one 20 years ago. If I have business to attend in this department, I miss being home, just because I own a Joy bidet.

No cracking whatsoever. We've had the bidets on four commodes and had one ill fitting seat that was very old. We bought a new one and bidet fits tightly now.

We padded toilet seat higher. Used it for more than 1 year and no cracking so far

Not at all, it is very strong. I weigh 250 and it never even made me feel worrisome.

I have two and found them very well built. Can't imagine breaking the plastic bowl but if I did, guess the whole thing would require replacement.

I've had an issue with the hinges breaking. My bathroom is small and I frequently bump the overhang of the Big John Seat when I get out of the shower. This is what broke the hinges. I replaced them with stainless hinges and I've had no further problems.

If the seat is thick enough so the screws will not penetrate out the top of the toilet seat then it should work fine. Some of the new plastic toilet seats seem not to have enough thickness.

I had no problem. The instructions are decent. Make sure you use the johnny bolts included with the toilet. I also had to replace my waste pipe flange in the floor that had rusted out, and used the bolts that came with a new flange - they were a different size and the thumb screws that came with the toilet didn't fit on them.

yes....we had a seat crack and we had it replaced after calling The manufacturer.

I replaced the toilet, so the Bemis no longer fit. I actually gave it to someone else who wanted it. Before that, I cleaned it with Clorox to ensure it was completely clean. It did not appear to cause any type of damage or discoloration. This is anecdotal evidence and not a scientific experiment, but it was not a problem for me.

The seat does not move side-to-side with time, as I had one on for over a year with no trouble. The only trouble I did encounter is that I wanted to replace it, as I had ruined one of the latches, and I could not get the plastic screws underneath to come off. Luckily we ended up replacing the toilet, or I do not know how I would have gotten that off??? I did buy more for the new toilets, as I absolutely love this style as well as the awesome quality of the seat itself, so I recommend them, but I will be leaving the removal up to my BF next time.

Unfortunately yes, my son when sitting down sprays between the seats, and it spills over on toilet bowl unto floor. It's become habit to have wipes near toilet to clean up. Rarely has his clothes got wet from sitting down, it just spills over on bowl, just missing his pants. For my daughter is was perfect, we had no issues. They both felt comfortable and safe on the smaller seat and we were able to use the adult seat for us or our guests.

I've not had a problem with any toilet. I use it when in public places. It has grips on the bottom that keep it in place on all size of toilets.

I had a small crack appear in the bottom folding portion. I placed some super glue on it and let it dry (very well) and have had no problems.

I have only used the Briggs & Stratton, and have no complaints with it.Any plastic can is subject to warping from expansion/contraction due to weather conditions, especially if you store it somewhere not so climate controlled. The bottom of mine is no longer perfectly flat. This aggravates a brittle friend of mine, and he buys only metal gas cans - for a substantial amount more than the cost of a plastic can. I reiterate that a plastic can of any brand has this flaw, and I remain satisfied with the one I ordered. If you're storing large quantities, long term, it may be worthwhile to pay up for a metal can, but if you're just keeping a couple of gallons seasonally, this one is fine.

I have had both, and honestly haven't had any issues with that. I would think if there was a chance cracking, maybe the lid of a plastic if set on by heavier weight

No I have not experienced that. The seat that comes with the toilet is a good one, at least on the elongated shaped bowl. We recently replaced it (2+ years) but after removing it I found I could fix the reason for it coming off the hinge. There's a plastic sleeve that slipped out from it's plastic holding cage, pushed it back in. Looks like the plastic cage eventually gets a bit misshaped so it'll probably come loose again, but hasn't yet.

The material in this toilet seat is a tough plastic that apparently has been blown into a mold...the seat is hollow, light weight, white, no holes so very easy to clean or sterilize in a sink or tub...there is no squishy foam covered with vinyl (my mother had one of those, and it was uncomfortable and difficult to clean)...this seat just sits on the toilet with the seat raised, has a couple little pads under it to hold it in place, and does not move unless you pick it up. I shopped carefully for a raised toilet seat and bought two of these...they're super and buying one if cheaper than renting for a month at the medical supply store.

Ours hasn't broken yet. The plastic isn't as sturdy as you'd think though. Seems to be serving its purpose as a liner.

I've dropped mine several times and so far no cracks although I wouldn't recommend making a habit of dropping it. : )As far as cleaning goes, I run the bottom portion through the dishwasher but clean the top two pieces by hand to keep the seals working properly. If you rinse it after each use, cleaning is a breeze.
