Yes, its a toilet, I know that, but what I have always wondered (and the reason I don't like them) is have any of you ever heard of one of these falling off the wall while in use? or is there a bracket arrangement that means it can't fall down. I have never seen a weight limit on them (No, not joking) I find I am now weighing more than I used to, hence the question.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
The frame should be fixed to a load bearing wall, Geberit are tested to 400Kg but of course the ceramic basin part is the weak link in the chain or the wall fixing is not strong.
One WC I fitted a wall hung had carpet floor and the nice thing was it was easy to vacuum under the unit.

We have one in our on-suite , it’s fitted on a stud wall( the cistern is in the stud wall and hidden cupboards behind mirrors) in front of the original block wall , I put 10mm fixing studs through the block wall in resin with large plate washers in the bathroom on the other side , it takes me ok.
We fitted it as my wife has back issues, so was able to install it higher than normal , in addition it provides a clean floor and that makes it much easier to clean and keep clean.

The floating bog's are used commercially to aid in cleaning, as above it's a cantilever design the load it spread across the frame usually rated to 4-500 kg

If gloom had a voice, it would be me.
