    This company is a joke. The sales rep lied about what we were getting, The day they came out to install it which was only supposed to be 1 day well it wasn't. It was almost 3 weeks with no tub and they had already removed my original tub, the 1 day they brought out the wrong size tub due to salesman putting wrong size on paperwork, then the sales rep told us we were getting a Walk in tub and that was also a lie. It was a walk in shower with a seat, but when they brought the wrong tub I called them and sales rep told me he ordered a larger tub with the door opening to the outside of tub but it was not true. The tub opened inwards. My husband is a very big man and can barely shut the door to shower.

    Have had to have them out twice to repair tub, electric wasn't installed correctly the first time and Mike ** who was our installer had to come back out and fix that issue as well as handle breaking as well. Tub was installed with shelf in front which made water run down tub and cause mold issues, then the customer service called me a liar like WOW. What kind of customer service calls the customer a liar? Enough said. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO Anyone. Please go somewhere else where they care about the customer instead of how much money they can make.

    Our salesperson was courteous but we were not happy that he did not convey to the company that we wanted the walls done differently. When taking out the old tub we wanted to gain as much space as we could. The installation team changed what they could. Also we were not aware the payment plan is a new credit card with Synchrony Bank. We feel this should have been related to us from our salesperson. Overall we are happy with the tub and install team, just not so much with the lack of communication from our salesperson to the install team and payment plan.

After a couple of bad falls in the old shower, I am looking forward to the new tub.

    Making the decision was the easy part; unfortunately getting through to Transunion was not! (Issues with credit turned the visit into a 3+/hour marathon.) Bill was calm as he tried calling over and over again. I am so grateful that he hung in there. If it weren't for his patience and persistence I wouldn't have a new tub next month!

    I usually do not write complaints. But have been unsuccessful in contacting the salesperson Jon **. I hope he gets this message. About a month ago I purchased an Independent Home 28x48 walk-in tub and shower. When Jon measures and recommended the shower size I should have been informed it way too small to work. The problem is I cannot shut or open the door unless I am sitting down. I am a small person. My family members who visit are much larger. I dread to see how they handle getting in and out.

    Also I have used the tub unit twice. Each time my floor got soaking wet from the jets (See pictures). Do not know how to stop this problem. Have put towels in the corner trying to stop the overflow. The tub also takes more hot water than my 53 gal water heater. Could not believe for the cost it did not have its own heating unit.

    I June 30th or so and had the schedule for the install on July 3rd. The job seems to went well. The next day my wife went to use the tub and we had water everywhere. To the point where it dripped through the floor to our downstairs family room and soak the carpet and some boxes I had in storage. So I called the salesperson and she said she would contact the company and have somebody call me. That was July 5th. No call so I text her and she said somebody would get back with me nobody ever did. The weekend went by and today is Monday July 8th and finally I called the installer Direct. He promised to have somebody out tomorrow Tuesday to fix all the leaks.

    As far as the company goes I have had no response out of them and it makes me wonder how their product supports going to be in the future. I'm very upset about this because one of the aspects we bought it for was that it could be installed in one day. That isn't the case. It's been 6 days and still no answer from the company. I did leave a couple voicemails with their product support group and yet to receive a reply. I just hope the installer is honest then the company people. Time will tell but if you want my recommendation I'd say buy some other tub through some more reputable company.

There is another button that you could push on the left-hand side that's supposed to let off the small jets but I don't see them doing anything. Also, when the water starts to drain, I can hear the water in my toilet bubbling then I start smelling sewage coming from my drain. My son was telling me there's supposed to be a flap to keep that from coming in. I have some plumbers here right now because I'm getting all my plumbing updated. They're gonna be working on that.

    Independent Home's sales rep was very kind. Also, the installer was nice. Ran into a couple of hiccups and was good about fixing it, good about telling me about it. At first, one thing didn't work. It wouldn't go up and down, and refill at the end. But they got the part, came back and fixed it right away. The only issue I have is I had a 50-gallon water heater and it did not work. So, we ended up putting in a new one thinking that mine was too weak and that was not big enough. We had to get an 80-gallon one. So, I would be very strong on suggesting that people know that upfront. We even got a booster and that wasn't enough. Independent Home needs to be more honest and clear about that.

    I had Independent Home install a walk in tub in Nov 2023. When I first ran the tub it did not fill up with enough hot water to run the jets. We had to boil 2 large pots on the stove to get enough hot water! They sent the contractor back out who added a "booster" to my hot water heater. When I ran the water it only ran cool throughout the house. They sent another contractor a week later who adjusted the booster. After that the water only ran lukewarm water. I called the gas company out to do an inspection. They told me that was the hottest it would get and I needed a new hot water heater. Also the tub takes 12-18 minutes to drain even when taking a shower. I recorded this. They have told me twice now that they would send someone out. No one has called or come out.

    The installers were here on time. They were fabulous. They took my tub out and had trouble with my door. The interior doors are not as wide as I wish they were. They had told me ahead of time that they would probably have to take the frame off. But they put it back together. I'd recommend the Independent Home tub with certain reservations. It isn't exactly what I expected. It takes over 20 minutes to fill it up. I like to soak. But I want my water hot and it's taking that long to fill up and the water is just lukewarm.

    I like the tub but I would have done a couple of things differently. I would not have purchased the one with the jets because you have to put so much more water in it. I probably won't use the jets again. I also thought I could lean back more, but I'm sitting straight up. I still don't have the shower handle on the wall. They told me I could get a suction one and not have to put screws in the wall. When I turn the water on, if somebody wanted to shower, I'm not sure if the water would go far enough in the tub for them to shower without them having to hold the shower handle. But the air bubblers are as strong as I need and they don't need as much water.

The installer worked hard. I trusted him in my home and around my family. He was prompt, informative, very professional and did excellent work. The bathroom before was more formal and wasn’t jetted. We had a nice deep tub that was long for lounging. I would sleep in it and watch television. It also had a hand sprayer. It's just that the one person in that particular room wasn't able to get in or out and we were at the point where we would have to call for assistance if he got stranded in the tub. He wasn't wanting to bathe. It was a big deal, because of the difficulty getting in and out. It didn't matter how pretty it was. It just wasn't working for him. But once we had the walk-in installed, he was bathing and he’s healthier and happier. Overall, he feels better.

    The walk-in tub now is not as pretty as what we had there before but it is more functional. Besides just being clean, the bubbles and all of the different features relax our family member’s body, help him stay clean and get the blood circulating. He rests better. It's a very pleasant experience. Not only for him but for me as a provider for his well-being. Besides all the different bubbles, it’s heated and there's a massage and a shower as well as an apparatus for a shower curtain. We're not using that at this juncture, but it is available.

    I looked at walk-in tubs over the internet, and I settled on Independent Home. I got three of them to come in and take a look. Independent Home was the better one. They sent me a person to look at the house and gave an estimate. The fella was discussing what tubs to purchase and he wanted to look and see what it looked like at the house to see if they had an availability to get the tub in and availability for the electricity. He was kind and cordial. I wanted an outward-facing door. That way, I can get two handicapped people into the tub. But he suggested an inward-facing door and that's what we ended up doing. We got the tub installed and we tried to get people in it and we couldn't. I've got two of them that are wheelchaired and the door facing inward is too skinny. People can't lift their feet up into the tub. So, I called them and told them I need to change the tub to an outward-facing door. I haven't got anything back yet and it's been two weeks.

    Other than that, the tub is of very good quality. It looks great. How they installed it in the bathroom is great. Everything on the tub works and they couldn't have done a better job. Two people came out and it took a good eight hours for them to install that tub. It has a light in the water and it has little air bubble jets. It has big flow jets. It has a temperature adjustment for the water coming in. It has a selector that selects either water coming in or a shower head and it has a massager in the back. It has a heated seat.

    After the installation, Independent Home's tech had filled up the tub. He shut the water off to the house, which is fine. When I saw him filling up the tub, the water was all brown and he said that was from turning the water off. But that didn't make sense. It had been shut off before and I never had to fill up a tub of brown water. And it wouldn't drain. It took over an hour to drain this tub. I said, "I don't know why it's not draining, but it should be." His response was, "If it doesn't drain and it happens again, just call the plumber." He should have waited until he was able to fill that up with clean water and drain it. And what did he mean by call the plumber? The tub drained before. And I have no problems with the toilets draining. I got locked in for over an hour because it didn't drain. I had to climb out. That's not safe.

    The tub was over $15,000. And that's not right. On a Saturday, the salesman said he would be here on Monday when they were doing the installation. They never showed up on Monday and that wasn't right. And I still haven't spoken to him. I don't have a phone number for him. I'm ready to have them come, take it out and cancel the whole thing. I'm gonna call the Better Business Bureau and see if I can do that because it's nonsense. I still haven't used the tub.

    I can wash my face and do a body wash. When I had my other tub, I could put more water in there to wash up. Here, because it's a low door, I couldn't put an inch of water in the bottom because it would come out the door. So, I couldn't open it to get out. It has to be below. It's a very low amount of water to open the door. So with the tub backing up, I couldn't wash my face and hair with the shower hose. There's too much water in the tub. I have to use my sink.

It took us a while to figure out how to get the plug in to fit right, though.

So, I told them that I will break the outside wall for them for insulation and put a drywall. The guy told me that they could do the drywall for me just on the bathroom side, which was fine with me. I was gonna do the whole thing. The only problem I saw was they brought regular drywall, and not a bathroom one. The salesman was awesome. He explained everything very well. He did a very good job, but the installer brought that wrong drywall. They told me they would do it anyway. It's part of the installation. All I had to do was put the insulation myself, which I did.

    When I saw that they did install it, I stopped them and said, "Hey, go ahead. Feel free to use my own drywall to finish the job." So, half of it was regular drywall, and the other half was the correct drywall. For them to do it all every day, you do not use regular drywall in the bathroom. Anybody that does construction knows that. I also did not like that they charged me to throw the power line for the pump for the jets in the bathroom. They charged me for installation of a brand new cable from the panel all the way to the unit, but he was trying to steal power from any other connection in the area. He didn't do it because he couldn't find one. So, he was forced to run the cable, and throw it from my panel all the way to the unit. As far as the product, when you open the door, the door can hit the side of the bathroom. So, it is making a mark in there. Also, the valve was leaking from. The job took two days.

    They seem to be on time and ready to go. They contacted me, came out to the house, and gave me their sales pitch, and I agreed to it. Shortly thereafter, I got a new tub. The sales rep seemed pretty good. The installers took out the old fiberglass shower, put in the new tub, and gave me training. They filled it all up with water and showed me how it worked. They did a good job getting it installed. It didn't take them very long.

    The sales representative was great. She answered all my questions. But I had an issue with the guys that installed the tub. Shortly after they left, I used it, and the back where they put the extra shelf in because there was a gap between the wall and the tub, so they put a piece of plastic across it. Then they caulked it, but the caulking was already starting to crack the first time I used it. So I had to have my son-in-law son in law come over and recaulk it because nobody answered their phones over there.

    The first time that I used the tub, the motor wouldn't shut off, so it ran for four hours. I kept calling Independent Home and left messages after messages. Finally, somebody called me back after four hours of the motor running and told me how to turn it off. I'm elderly, so asked what should I do and they said I had to take off the panel. I told them, “ I paid how much money for this thing, and I have to do it?” So I was a little ticked off. But it's been running great ever since.

    It was awfully pricey, especially with the customer service I wasn't getting. But I really like the tub. Part of me wishes that it was a little bit wider, but overall, it's great. I wish they would have also told me that I don't have a big enough hot water heater because I can't fill the tub all the way up with hot water. It ends up shooting out cold water after a while. I'm gonna have to pay extra to have somebody come out and install a new hot water heater if I want it filled up with hot water.

    The buttons in the tub are not labeled so it's difficult for me to try and figure out what I'm supposed to be pressing. It's a little daunting because if they're selling these to elderly folks, how are they supposed to remember from bath to bath what button they're supposed to be pressing? I didn't like the idea that the buttons didn't make any sense to me. One says, “wave,” but it doesn't do anything. There's another button in there that it says up and down. I have no clue what that is. The guys didn't tell me what it was. There was no manual to show me what it was. If the manufacturer had an actual manual, it might help.

    The salesperson from Independent Home explained the product to us and she was nice to talk to. When she was explaining it, she made it more possible. We had a smaller space. She said the technicians would be able to accommodate all that. She sold us. As far as the installation team, the guy who was doing it said it was his first time doing the work. The finishing was really bad. I had to ask him to work on it again. He was such a nice guy. He just needs experience. It was his first time but if I'm paying that much amount of money, I would like a professional to do it.

    I'm still not fully satisfied with the finishing. And besides, it’s been a while. So, things have been cracking open a little bit to where they finished it. There are some leaks by the pipe where the showerhead comes from. I contacted the company. They said they were gonna send a technician. The tub itself is awesome. I like it but I haven't been using it as often because the finishing is not good. When you use it, it’s really awesome.

    The rep and I discussed several different companies and their products versus Independent Home’s products. It wasn't biased but factual and I had already done research and it correlated with what they were saying. The basic model of the walk-in tub has a better design and I got it. The installers had to take out the old tub/shower combo unit and put that one in. They left it better than when they started.

    People should go for Independent Home. I can use the walk-in tub and all the attachments are within easy reach. It has the grab handles so you can get in and out without breaking your neck. It also has a shower curtain that goes around and that makes it a lot easier. Everybody was very nice, helpful and got it done. The sales and the marketing process was excellent. They worked hard to make it affordable for me by subsidies and made it work. They went way over and above. I'm a penny pincher so, everything's too high but compared to the rest of them, Independent Home was reasonable. My recommendation is them over everybody else.

    Hi **: Well, I cannot give it a 5-star rating, for sure. I would say closer to a 3-star rating overall. Sonja ** was an excellent rep/salesperson. I enjoyed meeting with her and her husband in the original interview before signing up and getting the installation. However, the original date for the install did not happen: Your installer just didn't show up! There was no call to let me know they were not coming; they just didn't show and I wasted my day waiting for them and had to call myself to find out what the heck was going on. A second date was immediately arranged, though you might imagine my hesitation around trusting they would actually show up. But at least I was promised a call this time if another snafu meant I wouldn't be getting the install that day.

    This time they called in a team from Tacoma WA (Chris was the lead on this team), hours away from my home in The Dalles, OR. They arrived late (traffic, understandably) and apparently had not had a good passdown for what to expect. For example, they did not know how old my house was, so they ran into a glitch when they discovered my plumbing was old = galvanized. This required a special fitting or such, which they tried to find locally at Home Depot and Ace Hardware, to no avail. So my install was delayed again, and they had to leave my bathroom torn up, drive clear back to Tacoma, and return the next day to complete the job!

    As the install was near completion, I requested an owner's manual so I could remember how to operate each feature of the spa tub, and was given a four-page tip sheet/"don't do" handout, which was of very little help because it wasn't specific. For example, I am supposed to have an "adjustable wall mount & soap dish," which I did not get. An example of maintenance: it tells me to clean it once a month, and to use dishwashing detergent, but no indication or suggestion of which brand would be best, and no specificity around whether I must fill the tub with hot water, or whether the "cleaning" flush can be done with cold water.

    I don't fault Chris for any of this. He obviously was called in quickly after the "no-show" install was aborted. He couldn't even give me a copy of the final invoice just before they left! And since it was late when they finished (they didn't leave till after 8pm), he gave me a quickie tour of the features, which I was OK with me because I thought I'd get a complete Owner's Manual that I could review!

    So while I'm learning by trial and error how to use the features on the spa tub, I am disappointed that I don't have a better resource that I can reference for using the features and maintaining the tub on a regular basis. For now, I'm only using the shower head! I took one soak in it and got a chill because the heated seat was not engaged and the in-line water heater that I was told would maintain the water temp didn't seem to be working either, probably, I assume, because I don't know how to engage either of these features! I hope I have given you some specific examples so you can understand my frustration and disappointment.

    Sincerely,

    Scott **

    The woman that came out initially as well as the people who did the install were very kind. But the installation was a longer process than what I was told initially. I was told it was gonna be a 1-day installation. When the guys came out, they said it was not gonna be one day but most likely two. It was two days for the tub to be installed.

    I also had it tied to upgrade my water heater for the tub. That didn't come at the same time that the tub came so they had to come back. That was another two days because there was an electrical issue in addition to the install. Two weeks ago, I had an issue where something happened with the water heater. Independent Home sent someone out right away. They've always been very responsive. I don't think my installation was typical for normally what they have to do. But they did whatever they needed to do to make it work and be as least disruptive as they could be. It was not an easy install especially where the water heater was located. It's quite a small area. That was a tricky installation for them. I wish I had done research before making the purchase but the tub has worked out very well.

    I was interested in just cutting out my existing tub and I wanted a new vanity. I looked online and I got all these phone calls. None could do what I wanted. But then Independent Home called and I asked, “Can you cut out to tub?” He said, “No, but we can get you a Jacuzzi with aromatherapy and a walk-in shower that feels like a waterfall.” He just sold me. We ended up talking forever. He was a nice man. He gave me his number and said, “If there's anything you need to ask, whatever, this will get directly to me at the office...”

    The guy who came to tell me about the product and gave me quotes was nice too. It was a little bit too much money and I wish I could have done something else. But all in all, the shower is like a waterfall and the Jacuzzi is fabulous. I just don't use it as often as I should because I'm busy and it's hard for me to sit down. But I love it. As I get older, I'll appreciate it a lot more because I can walk in. The shower is amazing and I love how you have it set. You turn it on and the water is hot right there where you left it. You don't have to fiddle like you do on a regular one.

    My installers were two great guys and I liked them. Both their names were David and they were the nicest men. They were totally down to earth. One was a little older in overalls and the other one was younger. He might have been training. It took them two days instead of one, which was no big deal. They took out my existing tub. The spout was on one side and they had to swap it to the other side. They put up two handrails. With the tilework that they put back, you can't even tell anything was wrong. It's beautiful. They put in the new tub and they caulked around it. They had to re put my toilet back in and caulked around it. They did a great job. They asked me about the shower and how I wanted the liner. We were gonna go with my curtain or their curtain. I'm glad we went with their curtain because now I have the curtain open because I have a skylight in there and it's really pretty to look in there.

    I ended up having to ask them to come back because when they put my toilet back, it teetered a little bit. They came back the very next day and fixed it for me. One of them even said, “You did something so we had to come back, didn't you?” I said I messed with my toilet. The overall whole thing was really good. The product's good and I hope that Independent Home is gonna be around for a long time. The people really made a difference.

    I have some plants around the back of the tub and it's really nice. I've had a few people come over and say, “I wanna come see your tub.” I wish that it was bigger and that it was for two, but it can't be bigger for the space. My observation is if someone was bigger, they'd have a hard time. I'm up and I'm not big. I go in, I take a shower, and I close the door. I have to squeeze back and tilt so that I can close the door. But it's because you're supposed to get in, sit down, and close the door. I don't do that. The other thing is it's so expensive. But you're gonna have that with everything. I had to get a tank with a water heater. That was another 6,000. Mine is in the area of 22,000. Other than that, everything is perfect.

But they were clean and careful with their installation and they did an excellent job. They stayed into the early evening to complete it and they were done in one day as promised. Everything is hidden behind panels so I can't see what is there. But the caution and care they used in doing the installation left me not concerned about what was going on behind the scenes that would be covered up and I couldn't see.

    We've been happy with the product but I wish we had known a little more about how it would actually function at the time we placed our order. But other than that, the quality seems good.

All I saw were pictures and things on TV, but they were not the same. Also, it took so long for them to get the tub in and finish. They took a whole day to just get the old tile out and took a whole nother day to put it in.

    After they put it in, of course, our floors were messed up and some of the areas that they put the tub in were left open areas where it needed a new flooring over it. They said they couldn't be back to fix it for two weeks and I started thinking they might not come back at all. I had to call to find out and I wanted to find out what I was responsible for because they made me think that I needed to pay for all the repairs in the bathroom that were left to be fixed.

    When I talked to a rep, he assured me that I was only supposed to pay for the supplies and that the guys doing it were paid by Independent Home. I mentioned to the two guys that I was told that I was only responsible for the vinyl and the paint but still, in the end, they charged me $250 for what they did. I liked them as people and they did what they were supposed to do but I felt like they weren't following what they were supposed to have done. It left a bad taste in my mouth about it. All of that wasn't a good experience for me. But I've used the tub twice and it was very relaxing to get in with the water. Although I probably need a larger water heater. I've got a 40-gallon one, but I just feel like it should be told that you need a 50-gallon. Once it starts filling up with warm water, it runs out before it gets to a high enough level to really feel like you can get under the water some.

    The techs took my front door out but they damaged both sides of the frame. Now there's a 1/4-inch gap on both sides. I have to spend $75 on a metal thing to put around the door. Even with that, the wind still comes through. Winter is gonna be terrible. Also, they were supposed to replace the frame in the bathroom. They charged me but they didn't do it saying it was not in the contract. What they left was a mess. I called Independent Home to complain and tell them what the techs did and to this day, they haven't called me back. They don't answer my phone calls either. The tub is okay but they didn't do the rest of the stuff they were supposed to do. I’m a disabled veteran. The VA was gonna pay for it, but now the VA won't pay.

    Also, when my wife used the tub, the water went all over the floor because we needed a curtain. We told them that was in the contract but they refused. I saw that on the iPad of the guy who did the contract but they didn't give me the paper.

    Installation went well and the crew was very nice. They got the job done in six hours, and they walked through everything with me. They did a heck of a good job, except I can't tell how they missed things on the hot water. When I went to get in the tub after they left, I had no hot water, so I had to stop. It was during the evening, so I waited till the next day to call Independent Home. I told them I didn't have any hot water and the rep said he'd get back to get somebody over there. The repairman came and got it fixed right away. They were very professional and good.

    The hot water hose was kinked underneath, so I had to wait a couple of days to take a bath. I have two baths, and one is a bath with a shower. So, I was okay, but I just wanted to use my tub. Other than that, everything was great and I have no complaints. The overall cost is a lot more than the other tubs that I priced out, but I also got what I thought was a premium package. My walk-in bathtub is very solid and it's got good, thick walls on it. I've had it for four almost a week now, which isn't that long, but it really makes me feel good. The sales reps said how well it would operate and how well it does, and it does exactly it. It's very good. In fact, I got some people looking at it and they're thinking about putting one in.

    I live in a house that was built in 1969 and the old tub that was in there was a thick cast iron tub. The Independent Home installer broke that up and took it all out, cleaned up and did everything perfectly. It took a day and a half, and the quality of work was excellent. He also explained everything he was gonna do, and after he was finished, he went over everything he did as well as showed us how to use the tub and what everything was for. He did a fantastic job, and it's a great tub. It's very relaxing. I'm 79 years old and I have a little arthritis and some lower back pain. When I get in that tub and then come out of there, I am so relaxed and without pain. It is a fantastic system. If someone's interested in a tub, Independent Home is the place to go.

    It was a very good experience with Independent Home. They were very easy to get along with. The guy that came out was very knowledgeable to sell it to us. Our tub has the aroma feature and the jets.

    My experience with Independent Home has been good. Another company couldn't do what I wanted to do, but Independent Home could. The people that did the installation were experienced in what they were doing. They came in and they did it efficiently and quickly. I like that I can sit down in the tub and it's like a jacuzzi. It operates preferably for what I need at my age.

    I am having some issues with my tub, but I called Independent Home and spoke with Jose. The problem is that it's too small. If I wanna take a shower, I can stand up, but I can barely move around. There's no room from the wall to the door. And when I try to open the door, I have to back up, sit down, and then stand up to try to get out. The width of the door is not wide enough. My salesman referred me to some guy up in New Jersey. He said he would get back to me. I'm afraid to get in it because when I try to take a shower, it's too scary. I can't move. If something happened to me, they wouldn't be able to open the door to get me out. The door doesn't open out, it opens in. I don't wanna get stuck in there and not be able to get out.

    My salesman was very kind. I have no issue against him except that I wish he would have ordered me a tub where the door opened out instead of in. There's no room for me. I can hardly even raise my arms in there to wash my hair. Also, the drain is okay, but the fill up time is on the slow side. It takes a good 10 minutes for it to fill up. I live in a condo, so I don't have any water pressure.

    I set up an appointment for Independent Home's salesman to come by and talk to me. That experience went well. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I was well-satisfied with his visit. It was very informative, and Independent Home was probably the best one to sign up for. They did everything he said. I'm satisfied with the price, too. The installation team was excellent. They knew what they were gonna do. They just fell in here and did it in one day. I've used both the bath and the shower. I like the air bubbles. To take a bath requires a lot of water unless you don't fill it all the way up, but I'm satisfied with the way it works. It's everything it's supposed to be.

    Independent Home sent a salesman to my home and he was juat an information salesman. I didn't feel any pressure whatsoever. Their price was excellent. They were less than half the price of Kohler. I'm a construction guy and I saw what the installers did and I'm happy with it. They did a good job of installing the tub. It seems to work very good so I'm very happy with it. It's a shower with a seat. I can go in, sit down and wash my hair. The fact that you can just walk in and close the door is the best feature. Other than that, the handheld shower is the feature that I like the best. It's excellent. The power drain wasn't included but I got it. It should be included because it would be really slow to drain if it didn't have that. It was just $600 but I'm glad I bought it. It was worth it.

    Our Independent tub has jets, bubbles and a heater. It's okay, but it's not finished yet. The first crew that installed it was good. They got here at 9:00 and stayed till 5:00. The second crew was one single guy to finish up but he never finished it. He ran out of molding. He tried putting caulking in it, but he said, "Can you finish this up?" I said, "No." The way the walls meet on the corner of the tub is not straight either. It looks cheap.

    Their salesperson Heather was great. She explained what the tub could do and asked me why I was looking for a walk-in. She gave me all the options and answered all my questions. The installation was perfect. The techs took everything out and put everything in. They cleaned up the whole time they were working. After the product was in, the tech demoed everything and explained what things did. I love my new tub. I'm gonna make it my personal jungle in there and put artificial vines. I'll soak with my candles, light therapy and aromatherapy. When I use it, I'm very relaxed. I really enjoyed the experience. I learned a lot and was pleasantly surprised about the whole thing.

    I didn't like the price of Independent Home. They're overpriced. Also, the rep told us it'd be a one day installation but it took them three days and the installers weren't professionals. They didn't know much English. They also put the wrong caulking around the tub. But Brian was good. He was right there with them. Then his brother came out, finished the floor and redid the caulking. Another thing, too, when I got in the tub, I ran out of hot water. Brian turned the hot water heater up for me and he said if anything ever goes wrong with the tub he would fix it.
