Ella's Bubbles walk-in tubs

What is Ella's Bubbles?

Ella’s Bubbles offers customizable walk-in tubs designed for couples, seniors and people with disabilities or limited mobility. Its acrylic-shelled tubs come with a variety of options, including removable inward-swing doors, 360-degree swivel trays and temperature control valves. Customers receive a walk-in tub quickly with the company’s 48-hour shipping, and Ella's Bubbles assembles all its walk-in tubs in Chicago with certified NuWhirl parts.

Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub models

Ella’s Bubbles offers over 25 proprietary walk-in tub models. All Ella's walk-in tub models come with exclusive features. These include Ella’s patented dual drain technology that allows water to drain in as few as 80 seconds, push controls, leakproof doors and slip-resistant floors.

You can customize your tub with a soaking option, hydrotherapy, air massage, Infusion Microbubble therapy or dual and triple massage systems. All models include removable access panels for easy maintenance and repair. The company also offers optional features, including heated seats, heated backrests and aromatherapy.

Higher-end models, like the fully loaded Ultimate walk-in tub, include an independent foot massage and luxury features such as a patented 360-degree swivel tray, chromotherapy and a triple combination of hydro, air and foot/calf jets.

Ella’s Bubbles sells many types of walk-in tubs, including:

Inward-swinging door walk-in tubs

Ella’s inward-swinging door walk-in tubs include five models:

  • Petite (30” x 52”): Starts at $3,888
  • Elite (32” x 52”): Starts at $4,002
  • Royal (28” x 52”): Starts at $4,033
  • Deluxe (30” x 55”): Starts at $5,923
  • Ultimate (30” x 60”): Starts at $6,566

All come with stainless steel doors that include a frosted, tempered glass door for a more modern look. The Elite model is the most popular choice among customers and features a removable 360-degree swivel tray and add-ons like LED chromotherapy.

For smaller spaces, Ella created the Petite model, which includes the same 20-inch seat as the longer Deluxe model but is designed for average or petite body types.

The inward-swinging line also has roomier models, such as the Royal (which is designed for larger individuals) and the Deluxe and Ultimate (which are designed for taller and/or larger individuals).

Outward-swinging door walk-in tubs

Ella’s outward-swinging door walk-in tubs include seven models:

  • Front Entry (32” x 40”): Starts at $3,870
  • Mobile (26” x 45”): Starts at $3,973
  • Capri (30” x 52”): Starts at $4,357
  • Monaco (32” x 52”): Starts at $4,374
  • Lounger (27” x 60”): Starts at $4,374
  • Big4One (33” x 66”): Starts at $7,846
  • ShaK (36” x 72”): Starts at $8,302

The Monaco, Capri, Lounger, Mobile and Front Entry outward-swinging models come with plastic composite doors but have a tempered glass window in the door, giving them the same sleek look of Ella’s Inward Swing tubs.

The most popular, Capri, is designed for average-size bathrooms and spaces. Those with smaller bathing areas should look at the space-saving Mobile, Front Entry or Lounger models, while bathers who prefer a roomier experience may prefer the Monaco. Select models, like the narrower Lounger, can be built with an anti-scald thermostatic control valve.

Wheelchair accessible walk-in tubs

Ella’s wheelchair accessible door walk-in tubs include five models:

  • Transfer26 (26” x 52”): Starts at $4,673
  • Transfer30 (30” x 52”): Starts at $4,691
  • Transfer32 (32” x 52”): Starts at $4,709
  • Transfer60 (30” x 60”): Starts at $4,839
  • TransferXXXL (36” x 55”): Starts at $4,999

Ella's Bubbles designed this line of walk-in tubs with accessibility in mind. The TransferXXXL, Transfer60, Transfer32, Transfer30 and Transfer 26 all come with aluminum L-shaped doors, foot and shin massage hydro jets and two grab bars to provide bathers with safe and easy entry.

The Transfer30, the company's most popular standard-size model, has air and hydro jets for those interested in dual massage, while the Transfer26 is great for smaller bathrooms. For those shopping for wider models, Ella’s Bubbles suggests the Transfer32, Transfer60 or TransferXXXL, which include wider seats and/or longer frames.

Lay-down acrylic walk-in tubs

Ella’s Bubbles’ lay-down acrylic walk-in tubs are ideal for anyone whose disability or mobility challenges keep them off their feet. These walk-in tubs come with many options, including soaking features, Ella’s Infusion Microbubble therapy system and optional glass shower screens.

Two-seat walk-in tubs

Ella’s two-seat walk-in tubs include four models:

  • Tub4Two (32” x 60”): Starts at $8,302
  • Companion (32” x 60”): Starts at $8,302
  • Escape (36” x 72”): Starts at $9,495
  • Big4Two (36” x 80”): Starts at $10,660

Two-seat walk-in tubs are made for couples. The Big4Two is a roomy tub that comes with 21-inch and 26-inch molded seats, the Tub4Two is a two-seater with extra space and the Companion offers the option of a dual massage tub or a simple soaking tub. All two-seat walk-in tubs include a center door and drain as well as Ella’s standard adjustable leveling legs.

Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub accessories and other products

In addition to its walk-in tubs, Ella’s Bubbles offers accessories and products for your bathroom and home, including cultured marble shower bases and seats, free-standing tubs, alcove bathtubs, vanities and accessories.

The company's accessories include a four-fold glass shower screen that can be opened and closed during bathing and an adjustable shower column kit that adds an oversized rain showerhead that eliminates the need for a wall-mounted showerhead.

Anyone looking to upgrade their bath to a spa-like experience can find an installation kit for the Ella Infusion Microbubble therapy system, which is a process of infusing pressurized water with billions of micro-sized, oxygen-rich bubbles. These bubbles can help exfoliate, detoxify, moisturize and relieve skin-related issues.

In addition, you can choose to include a two- or five-piece fast-fill faucet on all tubs. The faucet comes with a hand shower that is available with five different water pressures.

How much do Ella's Bubbles walk-in bathtubs cost?

Ella's walk-in tubs typically range from $3,500 to $10,000. High-end tubs, such as the two-seat Big4Two for couples, begin at over $10,000 because of the numerous luxury features, such as triple-massage with microbubble therapy, heated seats and two fast-fill faucets.

Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs can be purchased with or without installation. Local technicians tend to install the tub for $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the walk-in tub's model and size, the bathroom layout and the amount of work that needs to be done.

Ella’s Bubbles FAQ

Do Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs come with a warranty?

Yes, Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs come with a warranty. The bathtub shell, frame, door, door seal and finish are covered by a limited lifetime warranty under normal use and conditions. All supporting equipment, motors, pumps, fixtures, electronic controls, faucet, waste, overflow and plated finishes are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The thermostatic control valve comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Who installs my Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tub?

Ella’s Bubbles has a network of dealers and contractors. Customers can find a local dealer to install and service a walk-in tub through the company's website.

What’s the difference between a gel coat or acrylic Ella's walk-in tub?

Both gel coat and acrylic walk-in tubs are made with fiberglass reinforcements. The main difference is the material used for the surface. Gel coat walk-in tubs are made from fiberglass with plywood backing and are just as durable and long-lasting as acrylic tubs. Acrylic tubs, on the other hand, are made from one material that allows for surface resistance to mold and mildew, which makes them easier to maintain.

Is financing available with Ella’s Bubbles?

Yes. Ella's Bubbles offers financing through Klarna or PayPal.

Still have questions?

Are Ella’s Bubbles walk-in tubs worth it?

Ella's Bubbles' customer and installation network make purchasing a walk-in tub simple, and the company's wide variety of tubs helps ensure you can find one that fits your needs. Ella's Bubbles also provides accessories and products for a safer and more enjoyable bathing experience. If you need a walk-in tub for safety or convenience, a walk-in tub from Ella's Bubbles is worth the investment.

    I couldn’t be happier with my Ella’s Bubbles Deluxe Walk-In Tub. From the moment it was installed, I could tell this was not just another bathtub, it’s a true spa experience in my own home. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the design feels both modern and elegant. What impressed me most is how safe and accessible it is without compromising comfort or luxury. The hydro and air massage features are incredibly relaxing, and the heated seat makes every bath feel indulgent. I also appreciate the peace of mind knowing I can bathe independently without any worries. The customer service was equally impressive professional, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was perfect. This tub has genuinely improved my daily routine and quality of life. I would recommend Ella’s Bubbles to anyone looking for top-of-the-line comfort, safety, and style in a walk-in tub.

      After falling and getting wedged in the footwell of my new Ella's Bubbles walk-in tub, I was lied to and ignored by Ella's Bubbles on numerous occasions. I was sold an Ella's Bubbles tub that was too large for someone 4'11", and I fell on the slippery floor and got jammed in the oversized footwell the first time I used it. I am 77 and disabled. They only recommended 2 tubs and this was a 60" tub that was the most expensive one. They knew my age, my height, my weight, my medical needs, etc. I told them I was concerned that I would not be able to reach the foot jets because of the size of the tub, but this was the recommended tub by their specialist.

      When it came, I was stunned by the size, and I called the company. It was still shrink-wrapped, and they told me there would be a 25% restocking fee to return it, plus return shipping of about $400, plus shipping of about $400 on a different tub adding up to 3 shipping fees. I paid $7005 for the tub after a 10% discount on the tub only, and they had given me 24 or 48 hours to order the tub or I would not have gotten the FB discount. They would not give me the 10% discount on any other tub or a replacement tub.

      I tried to reach the president of the company, but never heard back. I believe I spoke to a manager who was going to send customer photos of possible solutions, but he never got back to me. I sent him a detailed email, but I never was contacted by anyone from Ella's Bubbles. Weeks later, I called again for the president, but he was already gone. I spoke to the sales manager, who commiserated and asked me to forward the email I mentioned. He told me how concerned Ella's is and he would get my email and information to the "higher-ups" in the company. That was over 3 months ago, and neither he, nor the first guy, nor the sales person or anyone at Ella's Bubbles has ever reached out to me.

      I finally used the tub for the second time, and it was another disaster. I sent another email to the sales manager and never received a response. I must admit that I am stunned by their lack of concern. Before they got my $7000, they contacted me for sure and bombarded me with bait and switch FB ads. BTW, I paid $5400 to have it installed, and the bathroom is totally torn apart because the tub has to be removed. It is way too big and unsafe for someone my size. It was totally misrepresented, and Ella's Bubbles refuses to stand behind their product.

      I was able to get a hold of support this morning and it was great. I am not sure why nobody was able to contact me from the left messages or online form. But I have communication now and it was very helpful. Since this particular issue is resolved I will update the review pending installation.

      Original Review: March 13, 2023

      Delivery of the tub was great, but the first step in the instructions tells you to level and fill the tub and wait 30 minutes to check for a leak. We did this and there was a leak on the back connection of one of the hydro jets placed where your back is. Unfortunately, none of the documents or videos Ella has explains what to do when this particular jet has an issue. Looking up the part online only results from Ella on the part and a phone number they do not answer. I left multiple messages both at the phone numbers they supplied as well as the online form. No response from anyone. It has now been 3 days. We have a leaking tub we can't do anything with and no way to get any information about the part. Been many years since I have had this bad of an experience with a seller. Maybe if you bought it from Amazon or another reseller you might be able to get support but buying directly from Ella seems to be a dead end, we have no idea what to do.

      We bought a Big4Two tub from a local distributor. It took us a while (over a year!) to assemble it because we were having the bathroom remodeled and had delays. When we put it together we realized the bolt to attach the door handle was missing. We called the company we bought the tub from and they were out of business. So I called Ella's Tubs and they figured out what part we needed, sent it to us for free and video chatted with us to show us how to install the handle. Thank you thank you!

The bathtub was delivered on time and the contractors were great. We needed it lowered into the floor by 2”. Everything turned out great and we love our new bathtub.

      I bought my Ella's Bubbles XXL Transfer walk-in tub through Wayfair. My son-in-law who is a Journeyman plumber installed it. We had an awful experience with it. We tested it outside and it worked fine, but it leaked like crazy. It had three leaks in the piping underneath. We called Wayfair and they rebated me 50% of the price of the tub. My son-in-law re-siliconed the joints and told me that two of the three that he re-siliconed worked fine and one didn't. He has to scrape the silicon off and try again. Plus, he found another leak. We put in a tray underneath the tub that will pick up any leaks and take them to the sump pit. I don't know what Ella's is doing. All the reviews I've seen on Ella's were very positive, but obviously, something went wrong somewhere.

      From all the comments, they talk about testing the tub and making sure that it's not leaking when it leaves the warehouse or factory. Either someone didn't test my tub or they tested it, found the leaks and thought they fixed it. I was very disappointed to have set this all up and tested it and to find even one leak, let alone three, and now a fourth one. It's a nice tub, but it certainly doesn't seem to have been put together well.

      I was doing searches on two-person tubs, and then got the idea of searching for a two-person walk-in tub that would fit the space that we had. I found it on Ella's website but what also came up was who else sold them and Home Depot did. The Home Depot site didn't seem to be a good place to try to figure out certain things and ask questions. There was a spot on Ella's site where you could email to ask questions and they called me back. They gave me a very good price, essentially equal to what they referred to as the best internet price and they shipped it direct for free. I purchased the Tub4Two five weeks ago. It’s a soaking tub and it’s just a simple one but they have a door. Generally, it’s probably considered to be for senior citizens who want a deep tub where it's too high to step over to get into because it's deep, and you can really fill up the tub and soak.

      The rep, Steve, was a very good guy. So, because of the price, we bought it in advance of having our remodeler scheduled to go. There was another lady that we talked to who took care of the accounting and invoicing, and she was good. Then, I ended up talking with a fellow in their warehouse because I wanted to know if they could tell me what day it would be delivered, and they were able to do that. So, it was a good experience.

      My brother-in-law brought up Ella’s Bubbles and I said that I would see what they got and what was different. Pretty much everybody was close with the product and very similar but I’ve had no complaints. I made my purchase in January and it wasn’t that it took until March to get it in, but I wasn’t satisfied with the installer that Ella recommended at the time in the Chicago area. They came and put the tub in, and I loved it and it looked great. However, it wouldn't keep the water warmed up so, they changed something out. That didn’t do it. They ended up putting in dual tanks and it cost me another $1,500 on top of the tub, which I was not happy with.

      At the beginning, Ella’s Bubbles’ installation team was very responsive. It was around Christmas when it happened and they got out after New Year’s. It might have been a 10-day delay only because it was the holidays which I totally understood. When they came out, they looked at my water heater and my electric panel, and then they set a date. It was two weeks out. Ella’s Bubbles’ product seems great but the installer was the issue I had.

      We found Ella's Bubbles on the internet and nobody else made the particular tub we were looking at, which was the tub for two. For us, it was like a mini hot tub and we don't have to go outside. Although our interactions with their sale reps were fine, their technical people weren't very good at answering the questions that my husband had. Moreover, their manual was too generic. It said the tub needed a 20-amp circuit breaker, which was a little awkward to deal with. But when he looked at the tub, it only needed a 15-amp breaker. The plumber that installed it cursed it a few times. They were good to bring it up upstairs though and had four guys to do it. Plus, they cleaned everything up.

      We had a little bit of trouble with random leakage and found water underneath the tub a few times. One time, it appeared to come from the seal. Then, it drained down through the door latch hole. We found that when using the jets, the water bubbles rather vigorously and gets out but it's not constant. It has a bit of a learning curve. For example, we can fill it and use the jets but if we wanna use the other one, we better not fill it up all the way. We talked to Ella's Bubbles one time, but we figured it out ourselves. We found the door latch very hard to operate to get the door pulled closed and sealed. I've mentioned our Ella's Bubbles tub to other people.

      I wanted a micro bubble tub and I did my own research. I had a couple of the TV ones come to the house and bid but I threw them both out. I bought it on Amazon and it was the best price. A plumber friend and I did the installation. The tub didn’t seal well on the door and it was my fault because the frame bent a little bit. I didn’t jack it up in the center enough, so the door was binding, closing, and then pinching the gasket. Once I talked to the service tech in Chicago, he straightened it all up for me. One adjustment and it was fine ever since. As far as functions go and everything else, everything in the tub looks great. It has for a year now.

      I've talked to a couple people about going with Ella and they've never heard of it. They mentioned other brands and I told them that I looked into American Standard, Kohler, and a bunch of others, and Ella's stood out from the rest of the pack. It was made in the USA, number one, and it had more features, including more jets and air, and I wanted to get the most bang for my buck.

      I bought the Ella 36x53, heated seat, heated back, with air jets and water jets a couple of weeks ago and the rep was great. When I told him I found it on Amazon for such a price, he gave me some discount so I felt there was plenty of flexibility and energy on his end to sell this tub to me. It was a good experience and so far, I'm doing everything else to get it ready to install. The sales team was very thorough when they were selling me that tub, other than they told me that it drew 120 amps instead 120 volts. That was scary. With 120 amps, I have to put a new service into the house and I asked if they were sure and the rep said, "Yup, 120 amps." A few days ago, I asked again and the rep said no, not 120 amps, but 120 volts, so we got that all squared away. It was a learning exercise for all of us.

      My sister told me she had gotten a walk-in bath by a different company, so I was looking on the internet to see what I could find. I’ve always wanted a bath because I had a stroke in 2008, and I haven’t been able to get into a bathtub since then. I always heard it was really expensive to have walk-in baths installed and we have to tear out walls. This mobile home has wide opening doors and a big space to put the tub in, so I just got online and checked. And where it says the best tubs, they listed Ella’s tubs as the number one tub to buy for quality. So, I contacted them and finally they got back to me, and we worked out something to where I was happy with the purchase price. And it’s been a nice tub. I’ve enjoyed getting in it.

      I had a walk-in shower that did not have a door to it. The salesman with the mobile home dealer said I couldn’t have that because I might be in a wheelchair eventually, and I couldn’t get in that shower with the wheelchair. So, at this point, I’m not needing that. And I said, “Well, if I get to that point, I’ll either go into a home somewhere, or my daughter can come over and put me in the shower.” She’s right next door to me. So, the couple that put the tub in for me also put a sliding glass shower door in for me. And I have a little bit of a step up to get in it. I can make it because I’ve got a safety bar right there already. So, it’s really nice. I can get in the shower without worrying about water running all over the floors, which was a problem before because the shower curtain wouldn’t hold it back. It didn’t have an edge to do that. And now, I can get in the tub if I want to.

      The features of my new tub are all really nice. I like the lights. They help. I got chromotherapy with it, and the seat warmer and back warmer so that you can get warm when you get in there and start filling the water up. And it does fill up fast, and it drains really fast for being in a mobile home, and which I was afraid wouldn’t work. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good on draining really fast. I’ve had really good experience with Ella's Bubbles. They’ve all been really friendly, and they sent me messages saying, “Welcome to the family.”

      My experience with Ella's Bubbles has been really good. I was doing some research to try and find a walk-in tub for my mom, and I liked Ella's design. I purchased a bathtub. The sales representative was horrible as well as the people that did the remodel of the bathroom because they were a third party. It was not through Ella direct. They fell through with everything they were doing and shortly went out of business after that. There was no paperwork trail and no warranty information filled out. So, when I called Ella's for a problem, they had no idea I even owned a tub. But they handled it very well, so my experience with Ella, direct, has been fantastic. I had one problem with the valve, and they sent me a replacement valve, and told me how to fix it.

      I looked at some of the features of a walk-in tub after looking at American Standard and Kohler, and Ella's Bubbles had basically the same features, but the price was a lot different. It wasn’t so much the product itself as the install of the product was less expensive. Plus, Ella's Bubbles allowed me to find my own installer when the others didn't. American Standard allowed me to do it as well but the product was still higher than Ella's Bubbles for the same features.

      I told Ella's Bubbles what I was looking for and why, and I couldn't afford it at the price they originally quoted me. They asked me if I knew somebody that installs specialty tubs. I told them no and they gave me some things to look for. So, I called a plumber that I knew and did the online thing with specialty installation and came up with one. I told Ella's Bubbles about it and asked if it would void my warranty. They said no. As long as he is a licensed plumber, he can install. As a matter of fact, Ella's Bubbles' branch in Houston is using that same plumber to install additional tubs.

      I’ve been really happy with the overall experience. Ella's Bubbles delivered the tub when they said they were gonna deliver it. I had it installed and when I had a problem, they were right on it. I had leakage in the door. It has a lifetime guarantee and they sent somebody down who got right on it and got it fixed. I have no complaints. I’ve told a couple of my friends about it, and one of them did call Ella's Bubbles.

      Ella's Bubbles has a wide array of selection of sizes, finishes, amenities and accessories. That really helped out so we could choose what we wanted. The sales rep really reached out to us and gave us thorough information on the product. We had a question about the shipping and she made some changes so that was all good. The shower stall that we purchased was a perfect fit for what the client wanted. We are very limited in space and the 54x31 shower stall really worked out well because we couldn't put a standard 60-inch in there. Installing it was very easy too. I had no complaints from the carpenters who installed it. There were also no complaints from the plumber that installed the bottom portion. Everything was pretty simple and instructions were easy to read.

      I did some research, and I liked the features Ella's Bubbles had, plus the lifetime warranty. The person from Chicago on the phone was very informative and nice. He put me in charge with the distributor here in Phoenix, Derek Rogers. He was a very nice man and did a good job. The installation had a little bit of problems, but it was not Ella's Bubbles' fault. The tub was a week late because it went to St. Louis instead of Sun Lakes, Arizona. But once he got it, the installation went smoothly.

      I've had the tub for a week and it is very nice. I like all the features. I particularly liked the amount of bubbles, and it seems to be very well-built and how fast it drains. If I had one slight disappointment is that it seems to take 15 minutes sitting there to fill up. It adds 15 minutes to the bath time, and you're sitting in partially hot water for that. I also bought the bottle with the heated backseat. And that part is not bad, but you're just sitting there and that takes a long time.

      I already had two walk-in tubs, but didn’t like either one of them. Now that I’m building a third home, I decided that I was going to do ample research to try to find exactly what I wanted and try to see if anybody could meet the needs that I had. Ella’s Bubble had the most selection and variety, in addition to doors that swing outward so that you can get in more easily than the doors that swing inward.

      I had Nick as my sales rep and he was really good. He was very easy to communicate with. If I wasn’t able to reach him right away and I have to leave a message, he’d return my call promptly and described everything in full detail. I asked him for several different quote options and I gave him a list of what I’m interested in. I was looking for five or six different individualized quotes, and he sent them all to me. He broke it down exactly the way I wanted it. I would definitely recommend Ella's Bubble. They were much easier to work with than any others.

      We found Ella's Bubbles online and did a lot of comparisons. We had some people from other companies come out to the house and demonstrate. A couple of their competitors were pretty darn close on what their tub offered, but price-wise they were better in comparison. One other company that we narrowed it down to was extremely similar and the only difference was that Ella's Bubbles had one extra grab bar and a few extra jets. The price was significantly different though.

      We called Ella's Bubbles directly when we were ordering and asking questions and everything was good. The rep was very helpful and answered all our questions. My husband is a plumber and we did the installation ourselves. It was pretty straightforward and it went well. We installed it for my elderly aunt who is wheelchair-bound and has quite a few health issues.

      The only thing I could see that was a bit of a challenge with the tub is getting out. It was great that there are two grab bars that help her with getting in, but for someone like her who has difficulty getting up and down, she's only able to use one grab bar when she's sitting in the tub. We have the inward swinging door that swings to the right. When she's in the tub, it would be a huge improvement and help for her to have a grab bar on the top of the edge on the right-hand side as you're sitting in the tub so that there's a grab bar close on both sides to get up off of the seat. But with the way the tub is designed, there isn't a good way to do that.

      There were options on Ella's Bubbles that I liked better that I couldn't find on other models. I liked being able to control the temperature. I also liked the fast drain, the heated seats and the door that goes outwards for transfer. The sales manager was really nice too. He did what I asked him to do and he followed up. So I was real happy with his help. We did have one issue though. The very bottom panel must've gotten tweaked somewhere along the line. They couldn’t tell when they received the tub but after they got it out and got to looking at it, the bottom panel looked weak then it did go ahead and break. So we are going to need to get another little panel. But overall, my experience with Ella's Bubbles has gone very well. We haven’t gotten to using the tub yet but I think everything will be great.

      With Ella's Bubbles, we thought we could get the tub quicker than the people that came to our house and did it. We went and looked at another medical person that had it. We got the one that's wheelchair transfer and the ones that we looked at didn't have that big of an opening. We ordered the tub through Home Depot. We emailed and spoke by phone, but we could hardly understand the salesperson. Then a lady named Daphne called, confirmed the order and said the tub would be here in three to five days. Then, we realized we could use a larger tub than we had originally ordered so I called her back. She said they'd cancel the order with Home Depot and I could order directly from them for the same price.

      It was actually over two weeks before it was delivered and that shipping time was pretty long. It sat in Birmingham for seven days. When we called back, they told us that we didn't pay for expedited shipping so we got the slowest one they have. We had no idea there were some options about it because we thought three to five days was good. We paid them $6,400 for the bathtub, so we could have paid another $50 and gotten it in here faster if I was given that option.

      We spent $1,000 more to get a contractor to come back and finish it 'cause he had gotten on another job. Then we ended up spending another $500 more to do the fast filling faucet for my brother who is handicapped and has a traumatic injury. When he's sitting there with no clothes on, it would hurry up and get the water to him. And if it helps him take a bath in comfort, he's been walking into the shower and taking showers, then that's worth it. He loves the tub now that he has it. During installation, the instructions said to put the tub together outside, fill it up with water, test it, then drain it out and bring it into the house. Our contractor put it together outside and then bring it in. We love the tub. We just hated the shipping.

      I was searching for hot tubs or spas and I came across Ella's Bubbles through the internet. I like the selection that they had. Also, I was limited the given sizes and theirs seemed to fit very well. Plus, I liked the options that it had. It had everything that I wanted. We're still in the process of a complete bathroom renovation. We're converting a walk-in shower to a walk-in tub on that end of the house. And Ella's Bubbles' product seemed to have all the features that we wanted. I didn't see anything that raised a flag. Everything seemed very positive at that time.

      We purchased the Elite model. We ordered it with all the available options that we could get. That included the dual that they call it which is air plus water. We also got the heated seat and back. But we live in Florida. Still, we thought that would be a good idea because this is gonna be mostly a relaxation device. We also had it with the aroma therapy, the chromotherapy.

      The salesperson, Daphne, was absolutely fantastic to work with. We were going back and forth. We hemmed and hawed over a month as I was waiting to determine. We were making sure that everything was gonna fit properly and with all the new tiles being put in. So, she was very patient in working with me. I couldn't ask for a better salesperson. We conversed back and forth for about a month before the purchase was made, trying to make sure that this was gonna be the right fit.

      We're still down here in Palm Beach County trying to get building permits. So far, the building permit has been tied up over two months. And sad to say, it is primarily because of Ella's Bubbles. The county wanted to know about the valve and that it had certain specifications. There is nothing in Ella's Bubbles' literature to indicate that it does. So, the county is still waiting. They're not gonna issue that building permit until they know that that valve meets those specifications. So, now the wife of contractor that we hired recently told me that they think they've got that resolved. They were able to get something off a box somewhere. But as I looked at the permit, it's still in question. So, we're kinda stuck on that part of it. Florida, I understand, is trying to standardize the building code. So, at some point, Ella's is gonna have to put that information in their instructions that the valve does meet those specifications.

      With Ella's Bubbles so far, since also there was no information on how to use the aromatherapy, I contacted Daphne. She had somebody from technical support contact me with the instructions within a day, so I'm very pleased with that. The aromatherapy allows you to put in a liquid. It's a scent-type thing that's automatically pushing into the stream of water, so that you got good mixing. This is mostly sort of a massage therapy thing. Right now, I'm very happy with the unit. I like that it has an adjustable length to it because of that shelf. Everybody who's looked at it has been impressed.
