You have given me a great idea on how to use the suction cup handle.I will not be able to use the handle on top of lid because I am in a wheelchair — I am not able to stand longer than 3 seconds.
To help me finalize the lifting of the lid I also use a toilet plunger. Brand new and ONLY used on the GF lid.
Currently, I sit in my wheelchair, use both hands to grasp the GF handle, lift and then I push up. The lid only goes up a little. I then wrap my hands around the stake on the plunger, place the plunger on the bottom white part and lift up.
I am going to order the suction cup tool and attach it underneath the GF handle. It will be centered on the white front part of the lid. I will still have to use the plunger on the bottom part.
Now here is a great laugh. I spent $6000 to buy my GF Pro and then I had to purchase a $5 plunger to open it.
If you’re out of warranty, you could easily add a handle to the front door below the glass - something like a drawer pull. Two small holes and add washers.
