I found the product to be too expensive and inconvenient due to the cold winter weather affecting its use. There's limited space around it, making it difficult to store products. The ability to take magnesium or detox baths is a plus, but overall, I wouldn't purchase it again. I'd rate it poorly due to that. There were no standout positives for me.

I loved everything about the product, but it turned out to be too big for us. I initially bought a large one for my daughter, who has since lost weight. The workmanship was disappointing, with poor attention to detail. Despite this, I still rate it highly for its overall quality.

The jets on my back Neuropathy help me, but the water tank is too small and can't be filled up. Limited space for a bigger tank. Overall, I like it with no issues. There was a mix-up with the order, but a smooth transition. Not sure why the wrong one was initially brought.

I absolutely love my walk-in tub. It's an older model, but it's been a lifesaver for my husband and me. Without it, we wouldn't be able to live in our home. The people we dealt with were fantastic, and everything else is just fine. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love everything about this product. It works exactly as described, and I couldn't be happier with it. I'd rate it full stars. The installation process was smooth and seamless, thanks to an excellent crew who were not only professional but also cleaned up after themselves. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my experience.

I'm disappointed that our hot water heater can't fill the tub, and I regret not having the shower feature installed. It seems like it wasn't available when we purchased ours. Overall, I wish I had known about these limitations before buying.

I absolutely love my new bathtub with a seat! It's a fantastic way to unwind and relax without any fear of slipping. I'd give it a solid rating. Although my husband initially found the seat cold, he soon appreciated how it eased his muscles and left him feeling rejuvenated. Personally, I use it more frequently and would rate it a perfect 10 every time. Overall, it's been a great addition to our home spa experience.

I am thoroughly pleased with this product. It is the best it can be, and I find it very enjoyable and suitable for me. As a 74-year-old man, it helps me with sitting, and it feels like a combination of a shower and a bath, which I appreciate.

The water heater takes a while to fill up, probably due to its size. I would rate it highly, despite the initial misrepresentation of its adequacy. Some adjustments were needed to make it work properly, which was disappointing. It now functions well, but the waiting time is a drawback.

I really enjoy my walk-in tub, but we've been experiencing a problem with black metal coming out when we turn on the hot water. It takes a lot of water running and cleaning to get clean water, which is concerning. I would appreciate it if the company could come and assess the issue. I rate my experience a 4 or 5, and believe the problem might be related to a loose valve for the cold water. Overall, I hope to resolve this issue soon to continue enjoying my tub.

I hardly ever use it, but it seems like everyone else does. I never had a problem with it, so I guess it's worth it. The price is a bit high, but the quality is good. They did a good job, and everything's working fine. I think they lost an option due to a dip, but overall, I like it.

I really like the hydrotherapy feature of the tub, but the inconvenience of committing once inside is a downside. The design could be improved for easier entry and exit without causing a mess. It would be great if all tubs were more comfortable with softer seats. Overall, I wish tubs were more user-friendly.

The entire team at Independent Home did an outstanding job from the initial estimate to the final install and follow up for my Dad's new walk in tube. I interviewed 5 different walk in tub installers and below is why I selected Independent Home: 1) The estimate conducted by Clarence was thorough yet concise. He was there for 1.5 hours where others were at our house for over 5 hours and we couldn't get rid of them. 2) Pricing-they offered the most affordable option that had every feature we asked for 3) The installers came out before the install to insure they could widen the bathroom doors for my Dad's powered scooter and so he could show them exactly how he wanted the install performed 4) The install was perfect. They had 3 workers and was finished in one day and the bathroom looks like it was a complete remodel. In summary, Cindy and Clarence and their supporting crew made the difference. Cindy quickly responded to all of my inquires and I can't recommend them enough. In fact, we have already recommended them to a friend of my Dad's who wants a walk in tub.

The fixtures on this product are easily getting stuck and frozen, making it impossible to switch from shower to tub. This issue occurred just a week after purchase, which is disappointing.

I recently had an issue with my faucet leaking and reached out to Independent Home for help. Unfortunately, it took them 2 weeks to respond to my calls and messages, which I found unacceptable. Once I finally got in touch with Sergio, he was very helpful in sending the necessary parts to fix the problem. Overall, the delay in communication was frustrating, but the service provided by Sergio was good.

I really don't like this product because of the way it's installed. It keeps tripping the breaker whenever the jets are turned on, which is frustrating. The drainage is slow and it doesn't feel very powerful. Overall, I'm not satisfied with my experience.

Independent Home have been nothing but great from beginning to end. My sales representative was very informative & helpful through the whole process. They were so patient with me and will make sure your bathroom experience is elevated when you become on of their many customers! They will even take their time to gather as much information as they can in order to find the best suitable make and model for you. Thank you Independent Home Team!

Technician and his assistant did an outstanding job with the installation of our walk-in tub. They were friendly, efficient, and obviously very knowledgeable about the job they had installing our new walk in tub. On a rating scale of 1-5 they get 5 stars. Also the regional representative, Joel, was very professional and knowledgeable about his product. Great job on both representatives.

I was very happy with Independent Home. We use them for a double walk-in bathtub and walk-in shower combination for my parent's bathroom. They had exactly what we were looking for at the most competitive pricing. From the sales rep to the installation they were kind, thoughtful, and courteous.

The product is falling apart, which I really dislike. The contractors were friendly, but it's clear the ship product is not up to par. It's not their fault, but I'm disappointed in the quality. Overall, not a great experience.

It takes it's time to fill, but that's probably because of bad water pressure. I really like it though.

I have MS and my walk in tub makes me feel so safe. I feel like I have gotten control back in my life, the installation guys were wonderful. Kevin built me a lower step in front of the tub because I can’t lift my leg high enough to get in the tub. They really impressed me and explained everything to me, as a bonus cleaned up nicely. I recommend this company, they are more reasonable with their pricing.

Kennie Wayne Bean Reidsville, NC

We have recently had an independent tub put in our home. While the tub looks great we have not been able to enjoy the benefits of it. When we purchased it and had it installed, everyone from the sales person to the installers told us that our 50 gallon water heater would be adequate and should have no problem filling the tub. It is not! While we can fill the tub about half way with bath temperature water it will turn cold once you get the water to the seat. Now we are going to have to spend about $3,000.00 to upgrade our water heater to one that will actually fill the tub where we can actually enjoy it with all of its benefits. The second complaint we have is about the damage done during installation. While the guys that installed our tub did a great job and were very friendly and professional they did create a couple issues that we did not see before they left. One is a cracked floor tile and the other is the door frame. They had to remove the door completely and either during the removal or install the damage was done. Even though we had some issues we still recommend this company just don't let them tell you that a 50 gallon water heater is big enough to fill the tube with sufficiently warm water.
