Our experience with Independent Home is what we expected, so much so that we'd be interested in doing some more work with them. There was a very pleasant salesman who came here twice and was very expansive, and we liked what he said and showed us. The man who was in charge of the installation mentioned to my daughter that the company had the ability to put in a walk-in shower in a separate bathroom. We've called a local company and asked about information concerning that, but it seems we'll be able to look into that with Independent Home.

The purchasing process of our Independent Home walk-in tub was easy. I got it for me and my 90-year old husband because we couldn't step into the tub and he wouldn't get in the shower either since he fell twice already. Their installation people were also nice and polite but they forgot to tell me that we need a big water heater. I feel that they should mention this stuff.
We only got a 10-gallon water heater and it doesn't fill the tub to activate the massage - all we hear are the bubbles and the motor running. Hence we can only get massage on the feet, not the entire body where we wanted it. I also need figure out how to regulate the water heat. I figured turning on both the cold and hot water to heat it up, but it only gets halfway before the water goes cold. We can't afford a bigger water heater right now so instead I had Sears come in to boost the heat up on the hot water, but I haven't tried it so far. My son uses the tub more. Still, there's nothing wrong with the tub and I actually recommend it.

We got a Celebrity bathtub as that was the only one that would fit. I had no problem purchasing it and the experience wasn’t too bad. The people who came over to install it were knowledgeable and courteous. They came and did what they had to do and everything went alright. They were around for about 12 hours that day. They left a bit of mess but I had somebody clean it, anyway. They also had to cut a section of the wall out to get the tub in. I’m just waiting for them to come over and take care of something, but other than that, I don’t have any problem with it.

The model of walk-in bathtub we got from Independent Home is nice because it got the jets in it. When purchasing the tub, it took quite a bit for them to get in financed. The finance company wanted too much information, but they finally got it straightened out. But the installation team went about their business and did what they were supposed to do. They didn't do much talking but they weren't rude and they showed us how to work the tub. My son loves it. He's a truck driver. When he's home, he takes two or three baths. And I like it too. Whenever I get in, I turn the jets on. It helps my back and my right hip. It quits hurting and it lasts for a few days. If I could just keep the water hot enough, it would be terrific. We've only got a 30-gallon water heater -- not big enough, and it gets cold before I get the tub filled. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I'd recommend it to anybody who could use one that can't get in and out of a bathtub.

When the lady from Independent Home called, she was all right. I told her we had been thinking about getting a walk-in tub and she said they were a small company and they were independent. She asked if would we like for them to stop by but I told her I didn't know them. She called back and told me they were going this way and asked if would we mind if they stopped by. We said we didn’t have time for that. She checked again. I said, “Give me time to ask my husband” because I wouldn’t do it without him knowing. We told her they can stop by and we’ll listen to what they have to say.
The gentleman stopped by and we like him very well. He showed us everything that he could show about the product and told us the different things that they would do before the tub went in, which they didn’t do. Everything was fine until we put our name on the dotted line. The lock on the tub quit working. The ring on the bottom or the stopper came off. It doesn’t hold the water and the lever is loose. This has been going on two weeks. Nobody wants to take the responsibility of saying we’re important people and I do not like to do business with people like that. I’m very upset because we haven’t gotten call backs like we should. Everybody knows we have a tub that doesn’t work. First of all, we don’t even like it for it to be an $8000 product.
The first call we got, my husband talked to this gentleman and he said that he was going to call back that very evening. He never returned the call. We never heard from anybody until we got busy on the phone again two or three days later. This is very minor. They didn’t even put us on a business for the day. We didn’t hear from them all weekend. They called us Thursday after 5:00PM and said they were still working. When they could, they’ll be driving over this way. I said, “No, don’t bother! We go to church on Thursday night and I’m not missing church to wait for you.” They said, “Okay, we’ll be in that area Friday and Saturday.” I said, “Okay, give us a call. We’re here then you can come over.” They didn’t call and they didn’t stop.
So today, my husband called him back again. We just want to return the other stuff over and he said he was going to talk to the main office. That’s the last thing we knew about it. They can get a hold of us or they can take it out but we’re certainly not sending a payment in on something that’s just sitting here doing nobody any good. I feel like the Beverly Hillbillies. I have to go stand out under a tree to have somebody dump water on top of me to take a bath.

I was looking for a walk-in tub for my mother. I had a polite and honest dealer when I was purchasing the Independent Home tub. He's a good salesman. He talked with me and didn't push a sale.

Unbeknownst to me, my husband set up an appointment with Independent Home. When we purchased a walk-in tub from the dealer, he was good - very knowledgeable. I was not convinced, but he convinced me. The process was very easy and everything, including the financing, was explained extremely well. The ones who came for the installation were also very polite, helpful, neat and on time. They worked straight through and didn't mess around. The only thing is I wasn't expecting it to be so loud when I turn the motor on. But other than that, we love our walk-in bathtub and enjoy it. It was a very enlightening experience. Everyone was very knowledgeable and they helped us make a good decision.

We liked the bathtub from Independent Home because we need something different than to step over the tub. We had a Roman bathtub and it was dangerous. Plus, we're getting older and got diabetes and don't walk too good so we want to get something we could get in and out of easily. When the salesman came out and talked to us, he was very thorough about it. He had the brochures for us to look at. We liked the tub and got it for a fairly good price. The two guys worked all day and did a fantastic job installing the tub. They got here about 8:30 in the morning and didn't leave until after 7:00. We love it and were glad we got it.

I've seen Walk-In Bathtubs through magazines. Independent Home was the first one to come to my house to show me about it. I went with the Life Tub exclusively by Safe Life because it looks good. The gentleman was very nice and showed me all the pros and cons on it. I have arthritis in both knees. It was getting very difficult to get in and out of my tub and I figured one of the these days I'm going to fall so it looked like a good time to get one.
The installation guy was very polite. I was not in watching him put the tub where my bathroom is. The tub was lower and wider. It looked like it was bigger than everything. Now, the tub is higher but a little claustrophobic because you just have enough room to go in and sit down to use the toilet. The installation guy was twice as big as me and he said he was very comfortable in it but when I'm bathing and sitting down to take my shower, my arms hit both sides of the tub. I'm a little disappointed with it in some ways but it has turned out to be quite nice. It's a lot more narrower than what I thought it would be but I feel safer in it.

Independent Home was very good with the service. We were happy with the way they installed our walk-in bathtub but I think they gave me a cheaper tub than what I asked for. I'm supposed to have three feet on the bubbles and it's only two feet. Also, I'm supposed to have a heated tub and all it is is a cushion. It's not heated and the water splatters all over the place.

I first heard about Independent Home’s walk-in bathtubs when they called us on the phone. I was really excited about it. But then after they got it all in, I found that it wasn’t exactly the answer to my shower trouble. I like to take my showers and I didn’t realize that by getting this tub, I was going to be limited to my showers because you get the shower head from the tub. You put it up on the wall and the water just comes straight down where all the faucets are, but it was going down on the floor. So I called them up and they sent me an extension. We had to put it up on the wall and push it out, which has helped.
We did not do our homework. We could have gotten a cheaper one that does the water because my husband has a bathtub with little jets in it and I really like it. I thought this would be something like it but sitting down. Its alright, but for $10,000, we should have done our homework.

I love my Independent Home tub. I put bubble bath in it and it was the first time in over nine years that I have been able to have a bubble bath, and it was nice. I've only got to use it once because it turned out that I had a hot water tank that was leaking real bad, so I had to take care of that and that's a big chunk of money. We don't want to have to buy one now. The two guys from the installation team that put it in were real nice. I like the fact that they were always very polite and very nice.
I've already recommended them to a friend, but there is one thing I would like to comment about. Maybe they can find some way to put a non-skid floor in it because when I went to stand up, even though I was holding on, my feet almost slipped out from under me. It'd be nice if there was something in the bottom of it that would help keep people from slipping. A lot of walk-in tubs have non-skid bottoms on them. It might be a little bit of an improvement if they put it in there to begin with, and it'd be a good thing to have in there for us older, clumsy people.

I love my walk in bathtub from Independent Home. I was interested because the price was okay. Purchasing the tub was pleasant and the installation team who came out was terrific. They were very kind, they put a cloth runner throughout the house where they walked and then they removed it after and the floor was clean. The only thing I'm unhappy about is the shower. I was made to believe I could take a shower with it, but when I take a shower, the other water doesn't shut off, so there is water everywhere. But other than that, I'd recommend them.
Updated review: Dec. 19, 2015
On behalf of future customers, I must report that I believe there are several factors to consider before purchasing a walk-in tub. First, you need a 50-gallon hot water tank to be able to fill the tub and not be sitting in tepid water. My 40-gallon tank was not able to meet the needs. Second, check your home's water pressure, especially if you use well water. Without proper water pressure, it takes over 30 minutes to fill the tub and that is unacceptable for anybody to sit there waiting to be able to finally turn on the hydrotherapy vents.
Once you feel secure that your home can properly handle filling the tub then do yourself a favor and buy it from Independent Home. I can honestly report that the owner/salesman Ari was one of the most honest and reliable people I have ever dealt with. The company did send a repair man the next day after the water would not drain out of the tub after my first use. Ari was truly concerned and made it very apparent that he would do all he could to help remedy the issues I was having with the tub. He followed through with all his promises and I would do business with him again since he has proven to be an honorable and reputable man in every sense of the word. Verify that your drain plug is properly installed before the installer leaves your house and I'm sure you'll be happy with your new tub.
Original Review: Oct. 28, 2015
I had the hydrotherapy tub installed a couple of weeks ago. The salesperson said that a 40 gallon hot water heater would be fine to fill the tub but he was wrong. I waited for seemed like 1/2 hour for the tub to fill and sat there uncomfortably in tepid water. I stayed in the tub for the recommended 10 minutes for my first soak. When I tried to empty the tub it would not go down! I tried everything I could to make the water go down the drain but it would not empty and I was stuck in the tub for 75 minutes in now very cold water. No one was home so I could not call for help. The drain finally opened up after numerous attempts to empty it.
I have damage from the installation to my walls, my tile and I am now frightened to use the tub ever again. I could not be more disappointed that I made such an expensive purchase that turned out to be such a nightmare! I DO NOT recommend that anyone be put through this situation ever again. Think long and hard and don't believe the claims of the salesperson.

My dad was ready to come home from a nursing home where he was paying full price because the insurance cut him off. So I was fine with Independent Home coming up and doing the bathtub on Monday. But they forgot to bring the casing that it's set in and told me I had to wait until Saturday to get it. That was five more days we had to pay for to keep my dad in a nursing home and at $280 a day, that came out to be a nice little chunk of change. He was telling me he was coming from Philadelphia and I don't understand how you can forget half of the stuff if you're coming that far to do it. That upset me very much but there's nothing I could do because he already had the old tub to our house so I was stuck with the situation.
Also, there was supposed to be a handicap grip bar for the toilet itself and it never got in here either. And that was all supposed to be included in the price and got lost somewhere, too. Besides that, the craftsmanship and politeness of their people were fine. But because of the mistakes that were made and it cost me $1800 more to keep my dad in a nursing home, if I recommend Independent Home, I'd have to say, "Make sure everybody is communicating" because their communication is way off. Nobody knows what the other one is doing.

Purchasing our tub from Independent Home was very easy. They took information from us over the phone then sent a salesperson out within the same week. She covered everything. We then did an application by phone to do financing and then 2 days later, it was installed. The installation went very well although we had a cover come off of one of the valves and it took a long time for them to get back to me in regard to the needed fix. The drain would not work and I had to deal with it myself to get it to work. I'm not sure it's done right, but they're going to come out and recheck what I did.

I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to this time. I purchased a walk in tub from Independent Home about 1 yr ago. It was delivered by two young gentlemen on the agreed upon day and was place just where I needed it. After I got it hooked up I had a problem and when I called about it I was reassured that it would be taken care of ASAP, and it was done.
Now a year has gone by and I had another problem. I called and was told again it would be taken care of. They sent a young man named Anthony to service the tub. When Anthony got here he went straight to work investigating the problem and said he had to order a part for the tub. The parts come directly to me. Anthony called me to inquire if I received the parts. He called and said he was going to be tied up on another job and he would call to set up a date for repair. A week went by and true to his word he called and took care of the problem.
Usually when the "I have to order parts" you're in for a long wait and problems getting the serviceman back. I am extremely pleased to say that this did not happen. In my dealings with Independent Homes I found the company to be true to their word and backs up what they sell. When I have called them I was always treated with respect and what I said actually did mean something to them. This I have found refreshing and Independent Homes is the most reputable company I have dealt with in many years, and their employees are truly gentlemen in every aspect and I would recommend them to anyone.

Independent Home offered their product to me much cheaper. The men that put it in were very nice and were careful with everything. They found out that some of the floors underneath the tub were rotting and I had to put in another flooring. I was pleased that they did. Otherwise, I’d have to replace the tub in another year. The salesman also was extremely nice. He came by when they finished to see if there was any problems.
I chose to have a walk-in bathtub because I can’t get in a regular tub. I'm a diabetic and have some pain in my legs. The jets help and I love it. However, I thought the tub would take a lot more water. I'm enjoying it so far and I would recommend it to other people. The only thing I would like to have is something that I can step on when I go in because it's slippery in the center -- where you step in -- and it's too dangerous. I’d appreciate if they let me know what to do. I don’t know if there are sticky things that can be put in the tub and I don’t know if they can maybe put one or two or something because I don’t want to discolor or damage it in any way.

David did call to apologize for missing the appointment. Mistakes happen. Fortunately, I was able to find a company to install the tub and my mother and I are very happy with the end result. I upgraded the rating to two stars because of the followup. Thank you!
Original Review: Aug. 28, 2015
I gave a 1-star rating because there did not appear to be an option for no star. I scheduled an appointment with the sales representative to discuss installing a walk-in tub for my mother and he never showed up. I called and left a message on 7/27/15 questioning the no-show and he has not responded to this day. Please note that I live in another state so my sister took time off from work to be available for this appointment.
Hi Hettie-
We apologize about this confusion. When we saw this comment, we were very confused ourselves. We contacted David, who you originally spoke with, and asked him to follow up with you. He said he spoke with you since then and was apologetic. He was under the impression that no appointment was set - so it was a miscommunication. We hope you were able to find a company to meet your walk-in tub needs.
Thanks,Customer Care

I called up Independent Home office and I asked some questions. They sent out a rep who did a measurement and we discussed which one I should choose. I finally decided to upgrade it (my instigation, not theirs). We got a price and I gave them a deposit. Their installation team came in around 8:00 and they had to reverse the plumbing. It was in an area that was tight to take out a bathtub and then put this new one in. They were finished at 1:15 - five hours, which was fine. The only thing I had afterward was they had gotten a circuit breaker inside the unit that I didn't know was in there. They're secretive but still, I understand it as I tinker around.
Anyway, the circuit breaker didn't work so I was a little excited the first night after it was installed. I went to use it and I couldn't turn it on. Still, I was pleasantly surprised. I called and there was an answering service (keep in mind, this is the night of July 4th). They forward it on to Jack and Jack got a hold of Tyson, and he called me at home. We went through it and I got the thing to work that night. The next morning at a quarter to 9:00 (Sunday morning) they replaced a part. I couldn't ask for better service.

They did a good job but I wouldn't give Independent Home 100% because I had a bad experience with the first crew that brought my tub. They ran off and left me high and dry without saying anything. They left here to go get something to eat, then go to the store and get some parts and they never showed back up. They wouldn't answer phone calls or anything. Then the outlet in Newark sent somebody else over about two weeks later because they already had work lined up ahead of them.
They showed up on a Saturday morning, worked most of the day and came back Sunday and supposedly finish it up but they had to cut out some of the door frame to get the tub into the bathroom and put it back together. They were in a hurry to head back to South Carolina and they didn't scrape around the door frame and caulk it. They didn't putty in the nail holes and when they beat out my cast iron tub, there were some nails in the sheetrock in the hallway that broke loose and came part way out. If I had not told him I would paint it, then he more than likely would have finished his work. But since I told him I'd paint it, he might have interpreted that I would caulk around the door frame. Communication is the name of the game. They could've said, "We're not going to do it," before they left.

I chose Independent Home because the price and the product were very comparable to the prices I came up at. However, I'm a little bit concerned because I was told that my forty-gallon water heater would be enough and it wasn't. I'm quite disappointed that there wasn't honesty about that. That's one thing that Independent Home should be more open about. I had to pay another $900 to have a plumber put in an extra forty-gallon tank. I ordered a 50-gallon tank and I'm glad that the plumbers were honest and said, "You know this is only gonna give you about six gallons more." I said, "Well, what should I do?" It turned out that it was only with an extra 40-gallon cause I already had a 40-gallon down there and was gonna replace it with a 50. Forty-gallon was only about four or five years old. They said, "Just add another one." To make a long story short, it cost $300 less to have them do that than to have a 50 gallon-put in there and replace the other 40-gallon.
Also I'm a little bit upset because I'm still waiting for the headrest that was supposed to come along with the tub. The gentleman who put it in had to come back a couple of times to fix things the faucet and handles. They all of a sudden rotated all over the place and weren't secure enough, I almost scalded myself. The next day I didn't use it for a whole 24 hours. To their contractor's credit, he did drive all the way from Illinois to our house in Milwaukee. Then I had him come back again to fix the nail holes and put a little bit of caulking. He handed me the caulking and coloring thing and said that if I find anymore I should finish it off. The caulking job didn't look very neat. He was very friendly and nice but coming to the end, it looked like he was rushing the job and that's probably what created the problems and issues that still have to be resolved.

Independent Home was very competitive with their prices when compared with other vendors of walk-in tubs. I am looking forward to using the walk-in tub. I definitely recommend Independent Home for walk-in tubs.

I am just writing to let you know of my wonderful experience with Independent home regarding full turnkey installation of my mothers new walk in bath tub. I originally called the company after much research and pricing quotes that were so high they made my head spin. My elderly mother has been having a difficult time getting in and out of a traditional tub for some time now and I knew we needed something safer and more comfortable for her. I immediately reached a helpful associate at IHOME and within 24 hours, a representative was at my door walking me through every aspect of both the tub and the installation process. They delivered on every promise they made me.
The Tub was installed approximately 2 weeks ago and my mother has already phoned me several times to say how much easier it is for her to get out of bed in the morning the day after using the hydrotherapy jets. The company has been courteous and easy to deal with every step of the way. I highly recommend Independent Home and its product.

I found Independent Home on the Internet. It was a very positive experience from start to finish. I sent them an inquiry about the walk-in tubs. Unlike the others who insisted on seeing your place first, Independent Home got a salesman on the phone. I told him what I wanted. He gave me a price and everything I needed to know about the add-ons. Nothing was like we’re gonna pretend we’re in some kind of a flea market and see how we can bargain, which is really the impression all these other companies give me when they can’t tell me what an X-sized tub costs before installation. We started in the fall and we had reasons to postpone the installation, but the salesman kept in touch. He was also very quick to respond whenever I had a question.

From my first contact with ** after finding Independent Home on the internet through the entire process of planning for the plain walk in tub I wanted, the going was pleasant, easy and straight-forward. I told him the size and model I wanted and immediately got the price for the tub. I wanted my contractor to install it - that was no problem. This contrasted so much with the other companies I had contacted that would only know how much the tub was to cost until AFTER their man had come to my home to measure, etc.
This difference in approach made it easy for me to choose Independent Home. It is now in the process of installation and my contractor is also very pleased with ** (with whom he had a phone conversation before the tub was delivered) and the tub quality. I will be happy to recommend this company, and its sales representative ** to everyone I may know who is looking for a walk-in tub.

After months of research and construction delays (install is for new construction) the time finally arrived at purchasing our tub. Upon careful and diligent study Independent Home beat out all the other companies. Not only do they have the most features money can buy but they are by far the most generous when offering them to the customer. Must be the fact of buying direct thus cutting out the middle man and passing the savings on to the customer.
I knew I was dealing with people who truly believe in and stand by their product not because of the Better Business Review or what others had to say but simply for the fact that although several months had passed since my initial inquiry when it came time to purchase the tub the price had increased but they honored the original price I was quoted months earlier. Never once did they try and say I would have to pay the difference which was a substantial amount in this day and age. If you are in the market for a walk in tub look no further than Independent Home because they are honest and best of all they are American Made!!! Hooray!!!! Ask for **!

The tub is finally in and I had my first bath last night - it was great!! I weighed 3 lbs less this morning and feel better than I have in many months. How can I thank you for the wonderful service you provided - from the two hours you spent explaining everything to me and the timely date to set this up. I will always remember ** and his men when they opened the floor and realized the extensive work that was now involved to provide the tub as you promised. These men worked very hard and always concerned about not making too much of a mess and cleaning everything up before they left each day. The quality of their work speaks for itself and I thank you have having such a team.
A 1 to 1/2 day operation turned into nearly five days. You had to search for tiles to match my bathroom and you found them. When I met you, I felt that you were the person who would honor everything you covered and I was right. Thank you very much and rest assured I will recommend you to anyone who asks and if you want to refer a potential client to me, give them my phone number. Again, thank you.

I called a couple of other companies and they make appointments with you, but then they don't show up and they don't call. I assumed they didn't have the guts to call me or even tell me their reason why they can't make it, so I don't want to deal with them. But when I first spoke to someone from Independent Home and he said that he's coming out to see me, he was there. Any questions I had, he answered them promptly. What the man said he was going to do, he did. There was no substituting this for this. The model that we went with is a 52-inch, one of their bigger models, and it has the massaging jets in it.
Very surprisingly, there was no question with the selling process when we purchased the tub from the Independent Home dealer, their sales rep came down and told us about the tubs and anything you want to ask about them. They didn't seem to be pushy at all...that's one of the things I liked about them. I want to know what I'm buying.
The main technician is a really good technician. When it first started out, there were two guys...It's quite a demolition. You get the old one out, and you get the new one in place. From that point -- I've got to say this for the man -- the man does quality work. He went through various stages...It had to be exactly as he wants it or it's going to get redone. I'm very impressed with his work.
The people from Independent Home are very reliable. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. If you have a problem, they're right there. I can't complain. I'm very satisfied. The tub does everything they said it would do and it's good that way. I got pretty well beaten up over the years and that tub makes a big difference, a really big difference.

We got the walk-in tub from Independent Home because I have a bad back. I'm a veteran and I found out about walk-in tubs from the VA. With my condition, they decided that they would give me the tub. I use the tub but my wife uses it more than me since she sometimes takes two baths a day because she has arthritis. My wife also liked the way it operated when she saw it on TV and heard about it from Premier Care. So she called the salesman in for me. We got the model that has the spray, the jets. I've also had a double lung transplant so we didn't get the Jacuzzi-style because we were told that it sometimes doesn't clean up well. But with the water jets, it clears out. It really works good.
It wasn't difficult to purchase the tub from the dealer because their sales rep came and although he didn't demonstrate, he showed us pictures of the various styles of tubs that he had, and told us how these will work. Then we explained my condition to him and my wife said we have to exclude the Jacuzzi. We got the one with the jets and everything that the sales rep told us it has, that's what it's been doing.
Their installation team was excellent...they were very, very good. They did an excellent job throughout the installation. The installer was an excellent fellow, a very nice guy. He was here on time and he left on time. He cleaned up everything after his work. He was very professional and courteous, very trustworthy, so I would recommend him. The salesperson was the same way. They met all our needs and we had no problem with them. We haven't had a problem with the machine so far.

My wife and I purchased an Independent Home walk-in tub recently. We love our tub. My legs feel better everyday. Before we purchased our tub I would have to drop everything to help her in and out of the tub. Now I can ease my mind knowing that bath time is now is safer for my wife. It takes the worry and stress out of everyday life. Independent Home process was hassle-free. And we saved thousands over other brands like the ones that have television commercials.
