The Bottom Line: The Get-a-Grip seems to work well. It will not work if you have smaller tiles on your wall, and your tiles themselves may not be secure enough to support your weight, but other than that, we liked the Get-a-Grip.

What it Claims: The Get-a-Grip claims to be an instant, no-installation, tub handle that will attach to any clean, smooth surface. What We Found: The Get-a-Grip attached very well to our bathroom tiles. The suction worked properly, it was easy to install, and easily held our weight. We did find that it would not install properly over the grout on the bathroom wall... so if you have small tiles on your bathroom wall, you may not be able to use it. Also, one of our testers found that though the Get-a-Grip attached firmly and securely to his bathroom wall... his tiles did not. He actually ripped a tile off his bathroom wall while trying to use the Get-a-Grip. Hmmmm... don't think thats supposed to happen... Other than that, the Get-a-Grip seemed to work very well. The Get-a-Grip was also easy to remove from the wall, as they say in the infomercial, so it can be easily used in different locations around the house as necessary. The Bottom Line: The Get-a-Grip seems to work as advertised. It was easy to attach to the wall, was able to hold our weight, and was easy to remove. Only potential negatives are that it cannot be used if you have small tiles on your bathroom wall and that it may be strong enough to rip the tiles off your walls if they are not well installed.
