The Bad

  • Warranty Length
  • Customer Service Hours

Warranty Length

Rane products have a shorter warranty length than that of other walk-in tub companies. A 5-year warranty is well below the average warranty offered in the industry.

The website warranty page states, “Rane® Safety and Accessibility products are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five (5) years for external finishes and composite shell, three (3) years for all moving and stationary parts, including but not limited to, valves, air spa blower, whirlpool pumps, actuators, door mechanisms, hinges, gauges, thermometers, and Lifetime for the door seal (provided preventative maintenance is performed as recommended.) Shower and disinfectant hoses, handheld shower wands, disinfectant spray wands, and batteries are excluded from this warranty.” 

Customer Service Hours

Customers looking to get in contact with Rane can fill out a Request Form on the website or contact the company via phone. However, customers will need to call between 8 AM and 5 PM CST. While this might not be a deal breaker, it can frustrate customers in different time zones or who can’t call within the stated time.

The Bottom Line

For seniors, veterans, people with aches and pains, and those with limited mobility, buying a tub from Rane is a solid choice. There are plenty of tub models and features that will provide extra safety and peace-of-mind for those getting in and out of the tub. Notably, Rane offers a professional healthcare series. Offering tubs for a healthcare facility is unique and sets Rane apart. 

However, shoppers should definitely look into the warranty, it isn’t as long as other walk-in tub companies and that is worrisome.
