LAST UPDATED: March 7th, 2024

Originally founded as the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company in 1875, the company adopted the name American Standard in 1967 and has grown to provide its innovative kitchen and bath products in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The company offers hundreds of walk-in tub variations according to type, features, material, size, and price, and, as the manufacturer of the tubs (not just a distributor), it manages warranty terms and details with customers directly. In addition to walk-in tubs, American Standard manufactures faucets, sinks, toilets, traditional tubs, and showers, many of which are designed with environmental sustainability in mind. With over 140 years of experience manufacturing high-quality products and serving customers, American Standard has become a trusted brand in the industry.

Showroom and Retail Availability 

American Standard walk-in tubs are available for seeing in person at showrooms throughout the country. This allows potential customers to see and touch different tub models and also to talk to design professionals and experts prior to making a purchase or even getting an in-home installation quote. Tubs can be purchased from showrooms, retailers, wholesalers, and online retailers. 

Simple Process

American Standard’s general process for purchasing a walk-in tub is simple. First, interested individuals schedule an appointment with one of the company’s representatives. An in-home visit allows American Standard to hear the potential customer's needs, assess his or her bathroom’s current design layout, and provide a free estimate for the complete purchase and installation of a walk-in tub. Next, American Standard’s team coordinates a full installation of the customer’s new walk-in tub, as well as remove the old bathtub and any debris from the installation. Once installation is complete, the customer receives instructions on how to operate his or her new tub with one of the company’s specialists.

The Bad

  • Returns and Refund Fees

Returns and Refund Fees

American Standard has a fairly typical return and refund policy. However, there are a few things we believe customers should be aware of before they finalize their purchase. 

First thing is that American Standard accepts returns for merchandise purchased at Americanstandard-us.com for up to 30 days after the date of purchase. 

Secondly, all sales on clearance items are final, nonexchangeable, and nonrefundable.

Thirdly, original shipping fees are non-refundable. In fact, the flat shipping rate of $6.99 per order to return products will be deducted from the total refund amount. An additional fee of $20 per order will be deducted from the refund amount for returns shipped from Alaska and Hawaii.

If you are returning a bathtub, there is a freight fee of $100 per item (deducted from the refund amount). For Alaska and Hawaii, the freight fee goes up to $150 per item (deducted from the refund amount).

Additionally, there is a freight fee of $40 per item for toilet returns (deducted from the refund amount). That freight fee increases to $65 per item for residents of Alaska and Hawaii. 

Again, these are fairly typical throughout the industry, but it is something to keep in mind before hitting the buy button.

The Bottom Line

The American Standard goal is to help customers feel independent and safe in the comfort of their own homes and the company does that and more by making the tub-buying process as easy as possible. With a huge inventory of its own manufacturing, a host of safety features and hydrotherapy options, filtered search navigation, member-login warranty management, and installation, American Standard is undoubtedly among the top competitors in the industry.

J. MacMillan Bandera, TX

The sales rep, Nyla, was very professional and friendly. Jay D, the installer was very proficient and did an excellent job. He was also very personable. The tub itself is smaller than we thought so it's difficult to submerge. We got two cold water faucets rather than one of each, so the hot water faucet turns clockwise just like the cold water faucet next to it. The valve that chooses either the hand-held shower or the spout seems backward to us in that you turn the handle to the device you want to shut OFF, rather than the correct way in which the handle points to the device you want ON. The valve handle that chooses which jets to function is also backwards. You have to point the handle UP to turn the upper jets OFF, and turn it down to turn the upper jets ON. Actually no big deal to adapt to it and it's so much more convenient and enjoyable than a shower and more fun than a bathtub. However, the price put quite a dent in our budget.

Joe and his crew were very nice and if I had a question Joe would give me an answer with a smile on his face. They even put up with me sticking my head in the bathroom to see what was going on. I love my shower!!! Jo D

everything was as described. absolutely no problems. I recommended to my best friend and I would do the same for anybody who asks! Its nice to see a modern company with traditional values about how to treat a customer good. The warranty alone is more than worth every penny

American Standard is wonderful. Good deals when you can find one which I reccromend looking for because it's at the top of the industry in my opinion not much else compares. I've been shopping for a while and am happy I chose the way I did.

American standard USA were very good at following up with my concern. However, as I am Canadian and bought in Canada I was referred to AM in Canada which was prideful as they have never contacted me or resolved my issue after the attempts!

The American Standard walk-in-tub is very sturdy, and was easy to install. It makes it so much easier to get in and out of the tub and still provides the enjoyment of soaking in a tub. They had a great assortment of styles to choose from and I know that I can trust the company for quality.

We were in need of a walk in tub for my grandmother. American Standard had the perfect solution for her. The walk in tub allows her to keep her independence. And we couldn't find a better value in other brands.
