    I was looking around and trying to compare the different tubs, cost and services, and then, I got a call from Independent Home and they said they could come out and make a presentation of their tub. The sales rep was really nice, very straightforward, and not high pressure. He said the price that we agreed on was only good for that day, and I said, "Well, too bad. I've gotta do some comparisons and some checking." He said, "That's okay." Then, I called him back on Monday and said, "I'd like to maybe go ahead with this." It was all fine. The installation was good and quick. The people that did it were clean and efficient. It was a little surprising because I was sure they were gonna have to make the door opening bigger, but they didn't. They cleaned up after themselves. They were in at 8:00 and out by 4:00.

    I only have one complaint, and I think they're going to try to fix it, and that is, the tub has a lot of features, but their print out on the various buttons and levers is really limited. For instance, I have no idea how to get the aromatherapy to work. I called the company. They're really responsive. They said they would send me an updated brochure on that tub. As far as the tub's functioning and all the different things, eventually, I could figure it all out, but I'd rather not get sprayed in the head by the showerhead until I figure out which position the lever has to be in to get sprayer.

    I judge a company not just by how good their product is, but how well they respond to problems, and Independent Home has been excellent. So far, I'm very happy with everything. The only thing I asked them about that doesn't seem right are the air jets. They seem to blow in cold air, which is just gonna cool off the water. They're now looking into that to see why that might be or if it's supposed to be.

    When I talked to the rep with Independent Home, he explained everything to me satisfactorily and answered my questions. He was thorough and allowed us to elaborate on what he was saying. The installation went very well. They got here a little after 8:00 and went straight to work. They put cloth down on the floor and the area that they would be working in. They went to lunch then came right back. It was 4:00 when they were finished. They swept up any debris that was on the floor after they put the tub in. We thought the tub was gonna be bigger but it isn't because of how big our bathroom is. Other than that, we're very happy with it. I've already talked to my daughter about getting one.

    The aggressive sales pitch promised, among other things, in-house installation. However, installation was done by a single third-party contractor who could barely move the tub about (tubs are heavy). He failed to correctly install the drain, and the tub was always left with standing water - a difficult situation when the door needs to open to leave the tub. We repeatedly attempted to reach the company but never got a call back. After repeated attempts and many weeks, the drain was never fixed. The tub itself was okay, but dimensions for the doorway were never disclosed and a heavier person cannot easily get into or out of the (14") door.

    We got a shower-tub combo from Independent Home and it's the top-of-the-line. It's got everything except music. The installation went very smoothly and the guy who came out was very experienced. He did a fantastic job and I'm pretty hard to please. It took two days but it would have been just one day except somehow, between the sales and whoever shipped the tub, they didn't get the memo that we didn't want the shower feature for a couple of reasons. One, my aunt does not do showers, so it's not needed. She’s a clean freak too and she didn't want to be looking at that piping going up. Equally as big as that is when you get the shower attachment on there, the handheld wand is not the same. Then, it attaches to that shower piping apparatus and the hose off of the handheld wand just swings down into the tub in view all the time.

    Instead of that, we wanted the retractable base where the hose is hidden. So, when the tub was delivered and it came with the shower apparatus and not the retractable hose, I told the installer that they sent the wrong one. He told me that he got what we wanted at his home and that we had to turn the installation into a two-day thing because he had to get the one in his house and bring it the next day. He said he wouldn't have his helper that day but he'd get done what he needed to do without him that day. So, he took care of it and I couldn't ask for any better handling of this issue.

    He even said that if I didn't see that, there was no way to fix it except to de-install the tub. So, he was very glad I saw it and I want to commend him on his professionalism because 95% of guys out there doing that same job would have not been happy that I found the problem. Other than that, the walk-in seems like a quality piece and I don't really anticipate having problems.

    Sonia is a very nice and thorough person. The installation was a little rough. We had a water leak that Independent home don't know about yet. Also, the heated seat isn't working. The rep said he was gonna have somebody come out and fix it. Also, I'm having a little bit of an issue with the water being cold. It's never warm enough in the very beginning. So I was very disappointed with that because I usually can take a nice shower, but now, it's kind of cold shower. But the tub itself is very nice, except there are some issues that I gotta talk to Independent about. You push the jets off, and then a half hour later, I'm in another room and I hear this sound. I had to come in and hold that button.

    I liked the presentation that Independent Home made as well as the price. The representative was thorough in asking me a lot of questions about my health and the size to make sure that the specific tub was a good fit for me. The walk-in tub has a heated seat, the whirlpool jets, air jets and water jets. It’s got a wave function and the ozonator cleaning system. It's got an in-line heater to keep it warm while you're running. It also has chromotherapy and the aromatherapy has little drop-in canisters that you put in. They gave us two canisters to start. I would like to get a headrest pillow type for the back though. The interaction with the installers was fairly well. One of them was in a hurry, so he wasn't gonna put in one of the pony walls and the backsplash. I had to slow him down and get him to do what was agreed to, originally. We had the back shelf and we had to talk to him about that. The quality is great.

    I got the Dignity and the rep called it their top-of-the-line but we couldn't find that particular model on Independent Home’s website. We were originally a little concerned about that. We called the customer service and had them send us some information. We're still looking for some type of manual that shows us what all the buttons are for. There's one knob that we're not sure about.

    Their salesman did some measuring and told us what was involved. I told him at the time that I gotta call some other companies too. I called Safe Step and Kohler but their products didn't have the features that Independent Home's product had. Independent Home also beat them as far as the price goes. I got the Dignity model and it has two massagers up high that massage my shoulders. It has 10 jets on it and an air bubbler that puts microbubbles into the air. The microbubbler has all these teeny-tiny little bubbles that get in there and it's like my water is bubbling in effervescent.

    The tub also has a heated back and seat too so if I get in it and I'm waiting for it to fill up, I don't get cold. It has a good-looking design with a lot of different levers and buttons to push. It also has lights that change colors and I can set those for whatever color I want. Plus, it has a wave action. When I turn on the microbubbler and the water jets, it creates quite a whirlpool.

    The tub also has a lifetime warranty on all of the parts. They installed my tub yesterday. Two installers came and they used straps and took it up two flights of stairs. They had to run down to Home Depot and pick up a few trim things to complete the installation. Then we had to wait 24 hours for the caulking to dry. They leveled it out and did a really good job. They cleaned up really well afterwards. All the way around, it was a good experience. I was feeling kind of achy and I got in it. It's nice and really comfortable. I love the tub. Everything works as it should.

    In the beginning, our experience with Independent Home was not so good. But they took care of everything and worked with us. At first, we had to change the days of the installers coming a few times. But when they came, they came a little bit late. And the guys that came, came from a long distance. When they first got here, they were starving because they were on a long trip to get here, so they needed food. But still, they did their work and they were very happy. Those guys were great. But they were tired and they left us with a big mess. My husband and I cleaned it all up, and they gave us money back from what we paid to cover the work that we had to do.

    Then we had some issues because we didn't really know how to use the tub. But a guy came out today, showed us everything, and everything is good. Before he came out, we used the tub a couple times. But since we didn't really know what all the buttons were for, we didn't really enjoy it. Other than that, the price was high, but compared to other companies, it was better.

    All of the people involved in this whole process with Independent Home were extremely personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. I enjoyed working with them. The installers did everything that they said they were going to do in the approximate time they gave it. However, the original tub was destroyed in transit and we had to wait three weeks to get a new one. The walk-in is bigger than I thought it would be but other than that, we got the baseline and with all the features, we're rather pleased with it.

    We looked at the different products that the different tubs used and it looked like Independent Home had the best base product. They also seemed to have good service response. And they had some nice features in their tub. The rep was on time, which is always good. She had some good visuals and she talked about the different parts of the tub, which we were interested in. And when we started looking at cost, she was able to come up with a good package for us.

    The first part of the installation was the demolition, and that went well. But the installer had to leave. That was when things got dicey. He was supposed to come back in a couple of days and things kept happening. So, I called the service people and they found another installer. They told us that installer ended up not working for the company anymore. So, it took almost two weeks for them to find somebody and get them back over to install the tub.

    There were two of them, which they always needed was two. They were very clean. They got it done quickly. The first gentleman was supposed to have two, but he only had himself. That was part of the issue. Also, they put everything together correctly. They showed us how to work the tub and ran us through it a couple of times. I'm very happy with the final product. It was a good move. The tub is sturdy, and very easy to operate and clean. The seating is good. There's a handheld, a rain shower and a tub fill. The tub fills and empties quickly. The jets are not as strong as I thought they would be, but they're still okay.

    The sales rep from Independent Home was very nice and polite, and there was no demand that I get a walk-in tub. The installers came in and looked at the bathroom and decided what they were gonna do and went right to work doing it. They were fast, quick and very efficient. They cleaned up everything. I've only used the walk-in tub about three times because I had to wait and get a water heater put in. At first, the water was a little muddy but after everything settled down, it's very clear now, so I like it. When I use it, it helps me to relax. My legs hurt me all the time and I have a lot of trouble with my back and it seems to just hit the spot. The walk-in tub got rid of some of my leg and back pain and made me more motivated to move around better. The installers put it in some railing for me to hold on to, so that makes all the difference. I get up and I can hold on to my railing, and pull myself up.

    The Independent Home rep was very nice and helpful. She took measurements to determine what size tub we could put in there. She also checked the water heater to make sure that it would have enough hot water. The installers were also very polite. When they left, the tub was usable. But, I'm not so sure it was good to go as soon as they left, because my son noticed that we were getting some knocking noises when we turned the water on. He said that could be a sign of loose pipes or the wrong size pipe. He does construction work. I was going to ask the firm if they could send somebody out to check the installation of the pipes and make sure that everything is tight and put together correctly. But I had a stroke and I had difficulty getting into tubs. Now, I can get into it without too much difficulty. It has jets and it has grab bars. It's nice to be able to sit in the tub again. The price was also a lot lower than what I've been quoted elsewhere.

I'm 89 years old and stepping up and moving around in that step-in tub is not the way I expected. I paid a lot of money for it but it's not what I wanted. You don't see the tub until it's installed. That was when I could see how high the step-in is and how small the foot space in the tub is. When you're in there, you don't have a lot of room to move around. I am able to wash myself in it, but it's not comfortable. I'm not a happy consumer. I wish there's a way I could get it taken out and get my money back. But the grab bars are good.

    It was almost $15,000 cheaper through Independent Home for the exact same tub with another company and when we found out that Independent Home manufactured the tubs that they sold, that was the tipping point. The tub we bought from them perfectly fits our very small bathroom. My husband's a big guy and he's loving it. It has the hydrotherapy system with two-speed therapeutic air jets. It has an aromatherapy you can add, but we decided we weren't going to do that. It's oversized, with a two-inch drain, and has a grab bar, chrome, Roman faucet, handles, and extendable hand round shower. We got slip resistant flooring, too. We have the soft touch controls and this thing automatically has a five-minute drying cycle after you've used the jets and you've drained the tub. So it blows out all that excess water and doesn't clog up with build-up from your water. Here in Arizona, our water is very hard, so that's a nice feature.

    The tub has a maintenance-free gel coat interior, the double door seal, and the five-inch threshold step. We have an 18-inch wide door and an ADA compliant 17-inch contoured seat. I'm a really small person and I float off that seat when the water gets to a certain point. We also have the adjustable wall mount and shower thing. So the shower mounts in the tub itself, but I can pull the shower out and mount it to a bar, so I can just walk in and do a stand-up shower. Or I can sit down and do it.

    The installation was pretty quick and we were surprised because my house is 50 years old, so we're not a standard size anywhere in my whole house. It's a round house too, to boot. So, the installers took out the old shower, carried everything out through my patio door in my bedroom, and nothing ever went through my main living area. They only had one little glitch when something had disconnected and the water just poured out. But they jumped right on, got it all cleaned up, and cleared everything away. They did all that, from start to finish, in four hours and the quality of the work was really good. But I've seen a couple of areas where the caulking has not solidified, so I'm going to to some patch-up work. Other than that, it's really beautiful. Plus, it's easier to maintain than the last shower I had in here.

    Over Labor Day weekend, I had taken a nice soaking bath in the tub, then my husband got in and did the jets. For some reason, he kept pushing the button and it did another 45 minute thing. The water was out of the tub by then and it said "Do not run the jets without the water." So I was freaking out and I called Independent Home. I left messages on two different systems, one for their local office and the other in their New York office. Since it was the weekend, nobody was available but somebody from their local office called us back, walked us through it, and got it to turn off. Then on Tuesday after Labor Day, we were really impressed that their main headquarters place called us immediately. We also enjoyed the gentleman who came. All in all, we're really happy with our walk-in tub because it guarantees that we can stay in our home for the rest of our lives.

They didn't do the best job with adding a little bit of a wood here and there for the trims. But other than that, it's okay.

    We told the salesman that we didn't want a textured backsplash. We wanted a smooth one and they said it was fine. We never saw it until they were done and ready for us to sign that it was done. I kept calling them and told them that we were supposed to have the smooth one. They ended up saying, "Well, to do that. It would cost you another $1,000.” I'm not spending another 1,000 for something smooth. So we still have the textured backsplash. It's hard to clean.

    I like the overall package offered by Independent Home. There was cohesiveness to the whole plan. The rep was also very competent. She knew what she was talking about. She knew what we needed and what we didn't need. The installers were also really good. They had the demolition done and the new thing in four hours. But they could have cleaned up a little bit more around where they were working. We had a kick plate at the door. We had them leave some of the trimmings off the door. And took the door with them because we're going to put a handicap door in there where the door that they took out in that room is. And they didn't clean up the stone particles out of the grout. But I like, on top of the water treatment, hydrotherapy, the aromatherapy, which helps a lot in different things.

    The rep seemed to be pleasant and respectful. The rep represented Independent Home's tub well. She went over everything. She told us all the good stuff about it. It was fast and easy. The price is in the range that I would expect it to be. And the installers were good. The only thing that was miscommunicated was the fact that we didn't have an electrical outlet where they needed to access it. So, it took two days to install instead of one. The installers were able to go through the bedroom. Our house is laid out oddly. They were able to go through the closet behind the tub and go through into the bedroom plug into that outlet.

    The only other issue I had was I was not aware that they would put up a bar above the tub it put eight more holes in my tile, which I was not happy about. And they didn't plug up the holes from the shower door that they removed. The reason that they forgot to do that was because of how long it took to install it. But they worked their butts off when they were here. They were very nice. Everything went well. My mom used the tub several times and she loves it. She enjoys it when she's in there. It's nice to have the jets.

    The reps were polite and the installers were hard-working. You could tell they knew what they were doing. They got the installation done in five hours, cleaned up their mess and left. I got the walk-in tub for my mom and she's still hesitant to use it because it has so many bells and whistles. It's sort of overwhelming and it might have been too much. But she needs it because she can't get out of the bathtub. I haven't tried it myself but I want to. They're very expensive. Although compared to everybody else, it was good. It was an overall positive experience with Independent Home and I'm glad we did it.

    I went with Independent Home because the salesman was very kind and thorough, and he saw that my plate was full, and he worked around our schedule. One time, my husband had an accident and he told me, "No, please go take care of him. I can wait," which a lot of people say, "I'm out of here. Call me when you have a better day or whatever." He stayed and waited, and he was really kind. When you're living this, you appreciate any kindness that is extended to you. So right then and there, I knew that I wanted to go with this company. I have recommended this company.

    Independent Home's price was great. Their install team was great. I told them I was gonna take my husband out for the day. They made sure that they made all the noise before we came back. So, when we came back, they were just doing the final touch-ups. I felt so comfortable with the team. I did call them because the head guy gave me his phone number. What went above and beyond was I called him and said, "Where are you guys at?" He said, "You can come back." They were all done by the time I got back in here. They were waiting for me, they signed everything off, and they showed me how to work everything. They asked me if I had any questions. I did have a couple. I can't praise that company enough and I was very happy with the whole team and the whole experience.

    We had a little glitch in our schedule and the lady that called to make the appointment worked it out with us. Nobody made me feel bad about anything. Everybody was really kind, and that meant a lot. From the beginning to the end and the follow-up, it has been fantastic. I like the compassion that they showed, the understanding, and the willingness to work around everything.

    I was very impressed with the people that installed the tub. They didn't do a few things that I thought they should do, but they're minor. They had to take the door case off, and when they put it back, some of the paint had peeled off or chipped off. They couldn't do anything because they put caulk there and paint is not gonna go over that. But it's not bad. They did an outstanding job. The installer was very efficient in what he did. He had to do everything so it really slowed him down. But if I had anything else to do with my house, I would call him. I really liked him.

    I have used the tub once or twice but I don't like sitting in cold or lukewarm water. I have sat in it and took a shower but I'm unable to use it and that's been frustrating. My water heater is not big enough. I got the 199,000 BTU tankless water heater set right there on the outside wall from the tub, and then the plumber will just backflow everything through the house and it has a circulating pump so it shouldn't cause me any problems. It's an added expense that I didn't wanna do.

    The Independent Home sales rep, Eric, was very nice. I liked his knowledge of the walk-in tub and what it did. He explained everything and we watched a video about it. So he was really thorough. For the installation, two people came out and it didn't take them a very long time. But our door was so narrow, so they had to take it down to get their stuff in. But they didn't put the door back because it wasn't their job and I didn't like that. My husband agreed with them on that because it was going to be an additional cost, but I don't care whether there was an extra charge or not. Also, we're paying 12,000 for that tub yet we couldn't get a correct door up there. And where is the senior discount? After the installation, the installers went through everything and showed us how to do stuff. But you don't remember everything when they first show you.

    We bought the deluxe package with the shower and everything on it. It has the light in the tub, it's got the jets, and the aromatherapy. And it's got the showerhead up on top, then it's got a little shower thing that you rinse off with.

    The sales rep from Independent Home was very thorough. The crew that installed the walk-in tub was also very nice and clean. The only problem was that they needed to call an electrician to hook up the jets as they were not able to run the electric themselves. So, it ended up taking a month for the project to be finished and we were disappointed about that. Also, the head of the installation crew didn't communicate. I texted and called him. I then called Independent Home corporate office and they said they would try to get ahold of him. They weren't able to get ahold of him. So, if he had just communicated to me that he was waiting on an electrician, it would have been better. But there was radio silence for quite a while and that was frustrating. Other than that, the walk-in has been installed for two weeks now and so far, my mother likes it.

    Our Independent Home sales woman told us several things that were blatantly false. She bragged about the heated air jets, making them sound so much better than their competition. But they blow cold, always, and are not impressive. I paid an extra $500 for "Micro Bubbles" which are supposedly good for eczema. I see no difference between the bubbles coming out of this tub and any other air blowing system. But ultimately I will never really know if they help because the tub is simply too big, and takes far too long to fill. She bragged about that too, about how big it is. She told us that our 50 gallon water heater would be fine. And both my wife and I THOUGHT she sold us a booster just in case.

    It takes sixteen minutes to fill the tub as full as we can get it before our hot water runs out. That is after a big hassle with the company and then paying extra to add higher power heating elements for our water heater and a mixer. They never even explained that the mixer would not help unless I set the thermostats to a much higher temperature. But the only way to get more hot water is to mix cold water with super hot water. Setting the temperature high like that shortens the life of our water heater, and still doesn't quite provide as much hot water as we would like.

    But all of that is just annoying. What has me feeling like I might has well been scammed out of my money is that my wife who used to take bathes daily, if not multiple times a day, now only uses this tub as a shower. She might actually fill it once a week, or two. I don't use it as anything other than a shower either. But I bought a tub so she could safely use it as therapy for her arthritis. It was getting difficult and dangerous for her to get in and out of our tub. I might as well have bought a cheap walk-in shower and saved myself ten thousand dollars. My advice to anyone thinking about a walk in tub is simply this: Get as small of a tub as you can tolerate. It will fill faster, use less hot water, and be something that you will enjoy frequently. I don't think Independent Home is going to offer that choice, therefore you should look elsewhere.

    But I need to get in touch with Independent Home as there are a few things that aren't working correctly. The Jacuzzi is almost impossible to use because no matter what, it splashes all over outside the tub. The wave I used seems to be less and still more of a Jacuzzi but I don't get some of the through the foot nozzle, which I used to but for some reason, it's not doing it now. There's also a control on top of the side of the tub. It's a stainless control that's not on the information leaflet and it goes 180 degrees and it doesn't seem to do anything. As far as the button that has the arrow up and down on it, it doesn't seem to work either.

    The installation is still kind of happening because there was some damage done. They got the tub in somehow backwards so they had to turn it around. I have a very small bathroom and as a result, there was damage done to the one wall and they broke my vanity. But they were very good about it. The told me and apologized. They had planned on going to Home Depot and getting a replacement but they didn't have what I ordered so they had to place an order with Home Depot. The installer is coming by on Friday to finish that. Other than that, it was fine.

    I love the tub. I feel much safer and it's very relaxing. But it was sold to me and it was in my contract that they were gonna do this quick drain. That was one of my concerns. I had gotten a lot of feedback from people who had walk-in tubs about the time it took to drain. Independent Home told me it's not an issue anymore because they have these quick drains and it drains in 90 seconds. My tub has the button that you push on it to have that, but it was never hooked up.

    The installer said that that wasn't what he was hired to do and that it would require him to replace all of the piping. It's a much bigger project if that were to occur and they weren't paid to do that. He even said to me that this is kind of an ongoing issue with the installers, where they get there and something was sold, but that wasn't what installers were hired to do.

    I tried to talk with the people at the office and as a result, they sent me back $500 for the pipe issue. It would cost me a lot more than $500 to install it and I tried initially to tell them about this issue. I felt like the people at the office who I spoke with were like it's not a big deal. I appreciate the $500 compensation but at the end of the day, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when I'm told something will happen and it doesn't. The salesperson, the installer, and the head office were all on different pages. But I don't regret buying the tub and I would recommend Independent Home. The cost was significantly less than the other bids from other companies and the actual tub itself is wonderful.

    A neighbor of mine had a tub put in through Independent Home and I saw it and I could tell it was good quality, and the price they had paid for it was a good price. I got the same tub that my neighbor had gotten. It has all the features I was looking for. The representative came and measured and looked at the tub that was being replaced. He said that he would give me the same price as he had given the people where I saw the tub the first time. It was all handled very well. There was no high pressure but a good job of explaining everything. I paid a deposit and I paid the balance to the installers when they came to install a few weeks later. They were scheduled so I knew they would be there. They came on time and were very courteous and careful with what they did. They did not leave a mess and did a very nice job of installing and finishing the tub.

    The tub is very high quality. I’ve not run into anything in the design or controls that are not user-friendly. It is a walk-in and has a heated seat in the back. It has air jets rather than water jets. It has the handheld shower plus an overhead rain shower. So, it's the shower-tub combination. It's got where the normal pipes are that you would fill the tub and the handheld showerhead. And from that, it's a rainfall showerhead. They added a shower curtain to match the tub. So, if I wanted to use it just as a shower, I could.

    I'm loving the walk-in bathtub but I had a problem before where the water wasn't getting hot enough. I was trying to get in touch with one of the guys. Then, I talked to a rep on the fourth day and I told her that if they don't get in touch with me by the next day, I would get a lawyer. The girl called me back that evening and told me that the guys would be over here in a day and that she would make sure of that. Everything went all right after that and they finally got two guys to come over and had it adjusted.

    I went with three different companies and Independent Home offered the best deal. The sales representative was good. He was friendly and he explained things. The installers took a good day. They were gonna carry the tub down the hall but when they got here, they said they couldn't get it down the hall. They had to go in there in my laundry room and take out the wall that was right there between there and the bathroom and slide the tub in that way. They did a good job putting the wall back and everything back. The model that was put in has fewer jets in it. Other than that, I'm really enjoying the tub. I like that I can walk in it and sit down and don't have to climb over the edge of the tub to get in. This is gonna help me a lot with taking baths. I'm completely satisfied with it.

    Independent Home called me and the salesman sounded so positive and decent. He just asked if he could come to my house and show me their tub. I said yes because I was interested in getting a step-in tub. And I knew that they were expensive, but I haven't gone around looking for them. He set a date. The reps were on time, came out, and were very cordial. And it sounded like such a good deal that I went with it. Four people installed the tub, made sure it ran all right and showed me how to run it. They came at nine o'clock and they were out of here at around 5:00. They were clean, and they cleaned up after themselves. They took out the trash that they had made, and cleaned up well. The one guy was so nice. He was so nice that I liked him so much.

    However, I didn't realize it takes so long to fill the tub. It takes at least 20 minutes. And I find that I don't like the way the door is on the step-in. That the way it's made. They got it wide at the top of the door and they have it go small where you step into it. And when you have the door open and get into it, and close that door, you gotta wiggle around that door in order to get the door closed. Other than that, I love sitting in it once it's filled up, and it empties out fast. It has made my feet much better. Just getting a tub of water and that water is nice and warm, and you just sit there and let it fill.

    I liked Independent Home's product. I've only gotten for one tub ride so far. It was nice on the leg. It takes a lot of hot water to get started, but that's okay. My wife likes it. And we're very happy that we went ahead and made the jump, because my wife is unable to get in and out of a tub without help. Plus, all the bells and whistles, and the bubbles and jets. If you wanna do your hair in the tub, that little hose thing is great. So, we're glad we got it.

    The guys who came in and installed the tub were fantastic. They came in and out. They were done in one day. Everything is sealed up. They put in big drains. We're on well water, and it does not seem to affect how the tub fills or drains, and the septic system. So, all that worked out great. It’s a little expensive, but we decided to take the plunge.

    The sales rep was really nice. We set up a time for the installation so both my husband and I were there, and he was really nice in talking to us. It was such a fast process. We met with him for a couple of hours. He measured our bathroom and then we did the application, got approved, and it was not even two weeks later when they were installing the tub. It was incredibly quick.

    The installation was absolutely amazing. There were two gentlemen and I was a little worried because they were both in their 70s. I did not know how they were gonna get that tub in. They removed the old tub and got it ready to bring the new tub in. From the very beginning, they laid painter’s cloth from my front door all the way into the bathroom so nothing got on the carpet. It was a porcelain tub so they had to kind of break it. It took about nine hours for them to do it, which they did let me know that it would be about around that period of time. But they got everything done. When they asked us to look it over, you couldn't even tell that they had done anything. The new tub was in but they cleaned up the whole mess. They left the cloth down, and as they walked, they pulled up the cloth, so that way, they didn't even walk on the carpet except for the first time. They were extremely nice.

    I love the lights. My grandson also loves it and he thinks it's awesome. The jets work. We've had the tub since the beginning of July, and we have not had an issue with it. My dad said he is not worried about taking a shower now. The peace of mind that if my dad is in there and that he is not gonna get hurt, it definitely 100% makes the cost of the tub absolutely worth it.

    The whole process with Independent Home was flawless. There was one part that didn't get on the installer's truck. But the installer told us about that. It was the little part where the shower slides up and down, where you could put the handheld in for the shower. He brought it the next day. It took him 10 minutes from the time he got here to the time he left. Everything they told us was exactly what we got, down to the very last thing. So it's been amazing. The application process was effortless. It was really good.

They came when they were supposed to and did everything they were supposed to. But the thing they hook on the wall, they forgot that. So they're mailing it to me.

The installers said they would be here between 9:00 and 9:30. I had to run out and do an errand beforehand and they were here when I got back. They pulled up 20 seconds before I did. They brought everything in and they set everything up. They had to take apart the door to get the tub in then they put the door back together. They showed me how to use the tub and they cleaned up after themselves. The quality of work that they did for the tub is A+.

    The only thing is when they went up into my attic, none of my outlets on the outside of my house worked anymore. Somebody called me on Tuesday and I mentioned that when the installers left and they checked the breaker box, they did not go back up in the attic to see if maybe a foot got caught on the wire and disconnected something. The lights were working the night before. I turn those on every night and they did not work the night that the tub was installed.

    I got the tub with eight blowers and there are 30 air holes. I got the aromatherapy, the showerhead, and the shower wand. The installers put up a shower curtain, which I was totally surprised with. That was a nice added feature. The only thing is I am a larger woman and it is hard to get in and maneuver around to shut the door of the tub. I step up on the step then close the door then step down and shut it. If I was to do this again, I probably would not get thetub just because my legs are long so it's an awkward position for me to sit in when I get in.

The house is still under construction. We didn't know if it was 120 or 240 volts.

    The schematic may be inside the tub under the panels. I found the folder they had but that doesn't have anything like the schematic in it. It just tells you, “The first time you turn it on, turn this on or turn that on.” That's fine but a schematic would be better to have.

    Independent Home was considerably less expensive compared to Safe Step. The Independent Home rep was very assured about his product. He was telling us that they were the manufacturers of the tub and that other companies like Safe Step used their tub. He misled us a little about how long it was going to take for the tub to be installed. The installer was quite good and I was a little surprised as he did the installation all by himself. It took four days but it was not due to him being not capable of it. It was that he had to do more work to get it in the space because the cement on the floor wasn't perfect for what he needed.

    We are a little bit disappointed in the actual tub itself. My husband would like to soak in it and it doesn't cover his body, from the seat to the top of the tub. He's taller. For me, it's fine. I'm shorter. Also, the water doesn't get hot enough. I have a shower upstairs and it gets plenty hot up there. But it does not get to that same heat level in the tub. The sales rep did not check the water heater and we told him it probably was because the tub that was being replaced was a large, jetted tub. We bought a new hot water heater before when we put the jetted tub in. We assumed that the hot water heater would be large enough for the new Independent Home tub. Overall, the tub isn't perfect. My husband said that perhaps our expectations were a little too high for what the tub was going to be.

They did a really A1 job.

    I love the features of the tub. It’s an awesome thing to have. It's made our lives a lot easier. My husband's a cancer patient. At the moment, he's been so weak and I couldn't get him out of the tub. Our new tub has made such a difference in our lives just to be able to get in it and relax. My husband loves it. I'm so in love with the jets. I have a lot of problems with my back, and now, I don't need as many pain pills. I get in here, turn on the jets in the tub, and I just don't need the pain pills because they've relaxed my muscles for me. It works. It makes such a big difference.

Greg the rep had all the information that we had talked about earlier and he knew exactly what I wanted. It made everything go smooth and fast. The installation crew was quick and they cleaned up after themselves. They were really professional and they didn't disturb me at all. The tub is different from my other one as far as the jets are concerned. They don't have the jets to where you can turn on different parts when you are sitting in the tub.

    Also, I don't know the levels that are supposed to fill the tub in order for me to get the jets to go on my back. It has holes up there, but I don't feel it on my back at the top. So, I don't know if I need to mash the up button or mash the down button. Other than that, I'm enjoying it so far. It's the best decision I've made because I kept falling out from my other tub.

    Independent Home's sales rep was very cool because he casually mentioned that they had a finance program and I availed of that. But I knew I had the money to do it, so I didn't really bring it up when the guy came to set up the tub. I gave them 5,000 upfront, then I told them I was going to finance the rest of the other 6,000, and he got very upset by the fact that I didn't tell him that before he set the tub up. He was very unprofessional and and when he found out I didn't have $11,000 to give him right then, his whole attitude changed. He contacted somebody that was in his upline and the guy that I talked to ran a credit check while the guy was here. The credit check was approved and he told the installation guy to go ahead and complete the installation. But he was going to take it apart where I couldn't use it. So that guy needs to know a lot more about business.

    Perhaps, in the future, Independent Home can screen the people and inform them of the whole program, because he wasn't sure that I was going to be able to pay for the tub. That was a very bad experience with me and my wife was wondering if we were going to get physical with the way the guy was talking to me. Other than that, the young lady that talked to me periodically who was monitoring me and setting up the time for everything was most helpful.

    During the installation, they tore open the threshold plate when they were trying to get it inside the house since the tub was too large to get it inside the door. But they jerry-rigged it and put it back down. I'm glad they didn’t leave that completely broken up but I can still see some cracks. They also had to take the bathroom door off and now, I can see daylight between the frame of the door and the room itself. But that's something that I can live with and I'll get something to patch up the little daylight I see. Aside from that, I can see some spaces that were missing where the caulking line is on the front of the tub. When they put the tub in and they caulked that part to seal it, they did not do a very good job. I've seen much better than that.

    But the tub works fine. I didn't know about the jets and I like that feature. The pressure from the jets is good and I'm really satisfied with that because they do what I need them to do. They massage, and aid your back, feet, and legs. But I’ll put some kind of shield over the jets on the seat. It's a little irritating because of the pressure coming out and that's a sensitive area where that pressure is making contact with, but that's what you want.

    The people were very kind and understanding and we're happy with Independent Home. The only thing that was a problem was the installers didn't come early in the morning. They came after 10:00. But it was because they had to go all the way to Orlando and pick up the tub. So they started a little late, and they ended late in the evening. But they did the job and we were pleased with what they did. But we didn't get enough hot water to fill it up over the jets. So we had to wait for the hot water. We have to put in a new instant hot water to get more hot water to fill the tub. But we have no problem using the shower until that gets installed. We have the product to put up, but we're having a little issue having it connected so we would get enough hot water to cover the jets. But we're dealing with that.

    The installers had to come back and put in the shower part on the wall. The only thing that I have a problem with is that it doesn't lock it up there to stay. It keeps on sliding down the pole. So we can't get the shower thing to be high enough if we're standing to take a shower. But overall, the tub is very good for my husband. When he gets in the tub, he can sit down on it and have a shower, or sit in the hot water. I don't worry about him standing in the shower and falling.

    The main reason I bought this tub in 6-19 was because of reviews by Consumer Affairs and their promotion of Independent Home tubs 'because' of life-time warranty of parts and labor. Little did I know this was only as good as the paper it was written on. First of all, it says 'Lifetime Warranty' online and through C.A. BUT, when you receive your instructions and p/w with tub it states only one year! I verified this w/ Alan, VP of company who brushed off and claimed his secretary made a mistake w/ p/w. (1st Flag!)

    When I had it installed, there were no demos so took word of installer to anticipate size of tub when purchasing since we met in person, and he could see that I was 6' even and 250 lbs. As the 2 men installed tub the salesman/installer Joel mentioned to me it was exact same tub that he owned. He was at the least 6" smaller and under 100 lbs. lighter. When I attempted to get in I could not even close the door. They had to replace tub w/ a bigger unit or I refused purchase. What good is something if you cannot use properly? AND, their tubs are on the higher end of cost. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! Joel then tried throwing all these negative facts at me as scare tactics, like I will need another hot water tank, I will use excess water, etc. ALL these facts proved untrue. Turns out he did not want to take off door frame in room to get tub through. (2nd Flag!)

    About one year later, sprayer goes and fails completely (late 2020). I call Alan VP who sends me a sprayer. Postage date still on box. Then in mid 2021 one of the auto drains of 2 shut down completely. I call Alan, he sends part out. No problem getting the parts- they have nobody to install the parts! A regular plumber does not want this liability because of design, so you are at the mercy of this company who literally has nobody to do this work! Which is HALF of this very warranty! It is now mid 2022, I still have parts, and have been told by entire staff 'someone' will contact me by phone or e-mail to no avail. As God is my witness, I have contacted this company through its New Jersey listing, its Cleveland showroom (calls just get sent to NJ) at the very least about 20-25 times. How else would I know of Kim (Pres), Alan (VP), Rachelle (Secretary), and Bryson.

    When doing the research for the walk-in tub of your choice find out who will be maintaining the tub, and how long it would take. I would ask for some kind of time constraint on paper before even purchasing. I was initially told by installer/salesman/contractor that he would be doing any maintenance necessary being that he only lived 30 minutes out. Never once answers phone, never once replies to e-mails. Completely ghosted.

    We have recently had an independent tub put in our home. While the tub looks great we have not been able to enjoy the benefits of it. When we purchased it and had it installed, everyone from the salesperson to the installers told us that our 50 gallon water heater would be adequate and should have no problem filling the tub. It is not! While we can fill the tub about halfway with bath temperature water it will turn cold once you get the water to the seat. Now we are going to have to spend about $3,000.00 to upgrade our water heater to one that will actually fill the tub. Then we can actually enjoy the tub with all of its benefits.

    The second complaint we have is about the damage done during installation. While the guys that installed our tub did a great job and were very friendly and professional they did create a couple issues that we did not see before they left. One is a cracked floor tile and the other a cracked door frame. They had to remove the door and frame completely and either during the removal or install the damage was done. Even though we had some issues we still recommend this company just don't let them tell you that a 50 gallon water heater is big enough to fill the tube with sufficiently warm water.

    Independent Home had a girl install our walk-in bathtub. She installed it all within a day and a half and I was pleased with the way she did it. I'm satisfied and happy with the way everything went and even with the salesman I talked to at first. He explained everything. The warranty is a lifetime, too. Now that we have the product installed, it’s pretty easy for my wife to take a bath. She enjoys it okay.

    Thanks for your vote!
