Went with American Std even though higher price for lesser product because they were only ones to promise glass door installation. Long story short they subbed it out. Took several weeks later. Salesman meanwhile got fired. Installed smaller liner than promised. All in all don’t go with these shysters

I was needed a good looking and good bathing tub for my newly built apartment. I go through internet and find this company . I find after using that it is well built with good quality material. Their professional team handled the installation and setup process in house , and everything is fitted perfectly in that space.

I have requested more than one time that I get a copy of the contract through the mail because my mom is old school she does not reading emails I have not received I have requested a copy of the owners manual to the mail I have not received. I was told that I needed to replace my hot water heater and add a booster. Valve When filling up my tub tub, I run out of hot water. I am not satisfied.
American Standard and KOHLER walk-in tubs come standard with some of the following safety features, ensuring that you can relax and enjoy your bathing experience in safety:
These safety features come standard with nearly all walk-in tubs available in the industry. Thus, you can rest assured that your walk-in tub will be safe and accessible whether you choose American Standard or KOHLER for your bathing solutions.
Many walk-in tub companies offer similar convenience/therapeutic features to customize the bathing experience — typically all companies offer hydrotherapy, chromotherapy, and aromatherapy options. However, companies may vary in specific jet numbers, jet configurations, chromotherapy color options, etc.
In addition, the format in which consumers can customize their walk-in tub may vary. For example, American Standard offers more than 50 different walk-in tub models that include different features; whereas, KOHLER offers six different types of walk-in tubs that are designed to meet specific needs and can be customized with additional features to meet a customer’s specific needs and preference. For some consumers, the KOHLER customization format may be easier to navigate as it breaks down tub models by type (traditional soaker walk-in tub, air walk-in tub, hydrotherapy walk-in tub, walk-in tub and shower combo, bariatric walk-in tub, and wheelchair accessible walk-in tub) and then allows you to customize accordingly. The American Standard format, on the other hand, may require you to sift through various models instead of designing/customizing your tub; this format may also force you to take and/or leave specific features if none of the models have exactly what you’re looking for.

It’s worth noting that American Standard offers aromatherapy and chromotherapy options, while KOHLER may not offer these customizable options.
American Standard and KOHLER are both walk-in tub manufacturers, meaning that the companies don’t install bathing solutions themselves. Instead, each company has a network of trusted dealers and installers. While this allows the companies to reach more customers, some areas may not have a local installer, which may make it challenging for some customers to get their American Standard or KOHLER walk-in tub installed.
Both American Standard and KOHLER provide lifetime warranties with their walk-in tub products and services.
It’s important to note that American’s Standard’s lifetime warranty only applies to door seals — other bath components have warranty coverage for varying lengths of time.
The KOHLER limited lifetime warranty includes coverage for defects in material and workmanship during normal residential use for as long as you own your home. Some specific components that are included in warranty coverage include, but aren’t limited to, the bath door seal, hydrotherapy systems, and KOHLER faucet and handshower components. It’s worth noting that the warranty isn’t transferable.
Both American Standard and KOHLER have wide state coverage areas, ensuring that more customers have access to their walk-in tub products and services.
American Standard walk-in tubs are available in all states, excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington D.C.
KOHLER walk-in tubs are available in all states, but may be limited in some specific areas.
