I had both knees replaced and to take a regular bath was really difficult. It was dangerous to get up and out of a regular tub. I hadn't talked to my husband very much about getting a walk-in tub until we were contacted by phone. I told him that I really would enjoy that type of a bath. I have fibromyalgia and I take medication for that. By the end of the afternoon, sometimes, I have a lot of aches and pains. The thought of being able to relax in a warm tub in the evening sounded so wonderful to me.
When Independent Home called, the lady asked if they could send over a person to talk to me about the tub. I wanted to know about how much it would cost and if they could put one in where our regular tub was. The salesperson answered all of our questions. It didn't feel like we were talking to a salesperson. The first thing he did was measure our doorframe to see if it could go in, and it could. We found out that we could afford it. We're not going on cruises right now so we have some money that we could spend other ways.
I've taken one shower since we had it put in. During the first part of October, it's been the baths. We wanted to know if it was costing us more water usage. We compared October to September water usage and the cost difference was 40 cents. I was taking baths as often as I was taking showers so for 40 cents difference, it was very nice. I love my Independent Home walk-in bathtub. It has helped and it's very relaxing. I have problems with going to sleep and we've learned that that helps if I take a bath in there before I go to bed.
The second time I used it, I had remembered that I had some bubble bath that was out. I had never used bubble baths and thought it would be nice to get some bubbles. So, I poured some in and turned those jets on. But I wasn't real familiar with the tub and the bubbles kept getting bigger and bigger and I couldn't find the button to shut the jets off because it was hidden by all the bubbles. I yelled for my husband to come. Luckily, he was up. He came and I was up to my chin in bubbles and it was almost overflowing the bathtub. That's a warning to be very familiar with the tub and know how much bubble bath you should use. Now, I'm very conservative with how much I put in.

The team did a good job of getting the tub in. That was amazing. The bathroom was a very small area. They cut a part of the wall out and they were able to get in. I had painters come in and redo everything. They sanded it down and painted the whole bathroom afterwards. You wouldn't even know a wall had been cut. The guy that did the installation knew what he was doing. His helper made several mistakes but he did a good job putting it all back together. The pocket door works perfectly.
They had a hard time connecting the drain pipe down into the drain that goes out to the septic system. We haven't tried it yet and we hope it works. It leaked in the beginning when he first did it through the ceiling in the basement. But we figured that was because he was trying to get it done. He told me about that. We went down there and I got to replace one tile which is not a big deal. But I still don't know when we go to turn the power. It sucks the water out fast. I don't know where it's gonna go through and cause a problem with the hose.
The only thing I had any kind of concern about is the caulking along the edges and along the tub itself got a little bit sloppy. I called their office and told them I didn't like the silicone caulk that goes around the bathtub. He got it on the tub itself but I don't blame him. He was here 12 hours to put in a small little tub so it was tough. Towards the end, I know he was getting tired. He had to go back and take care of the errors that his helper had done. His helper was a nice older guy but he obviously has not been a real carpenter and doesn't recognize how things go back together.
We had it painted since then and it looks nice. However, when we tried to paint, there was caulk in areas we couldn't get to and some of it was on the floor. I don't know how they're gonna fix the caulking. I've already called in but Independent Home has not returned the call back to me. It was a week ago. I am dissatisfied with the fact that I called their office and told them we had a problem but I haven't heard back from anybody.

I love my walk-in tub from Independent Home. It started out with 1,700 and wound up with 1,200 so that was good. They answered everything there was to answer. The team was clean during the installation. They even put furniture back. They were real good. The tub runs out of hot water so by the time I get the bottom part filled, I've lost out on hot water but I got the heater so that works okay.

The walk-in tub from Independent Home had the aromatherapy and the lights so we went with them. There is also a heat option on it. It'll heat the seat up. The installation experience was extremely nice. They said they were coming at 8:30 and they were here promptly at 8:30. They worked the whole time they were here. They came the next day to finish up and they came right on time again that day. They cleaned up everything. The tub is wonderful. It's very relaxing. The water stays hot the way you want it in the amount of time that you're in there. My husband has neuropathy and it helps. I have restless legs and I go in there and come out, and it's fine. It was very expensive but I like it better than the hot tub that we had.

My uncle is getting older and his tub was really old and it needed to kinda be replaced. He liked the idea of it being a Jacuzzi tub and the fact that it was easier to get in and out. It'll be something that will benefit him in later years. The installation guys were very, very nice. They even came back because they didn't have a shower curtain. They were very tidy and they cleaned up after themselves. They were very polite. The tub looks really nice. I hear my uncle talk about it to his work buddies. So it's very cool.
Hi Melissa,
Thanks for your kind words and we are glad to hear the tub is working well for your uncle. You are a great niece! Have a great day!

My husband and I both have had some health issues and had been thinking about getting a walk-in bathtub so we purchased from Independent Home. The installer was not able to do the installation in one day but he cleaned up fine. He did everything he should have. The air jets are very cold. I wish I had known that, to begin with. Also, I thought I would be able to shower with it but I need to put up something to protect the floor and everything. Other than that, the quality of the tub is good so far.

The guy who came out here was very nice. I liked him. He explained everything. We didn't have that much room where the shower is and I think I would have liked it better if it were bigger. I thought that my husband was gonna be able to give himself a bath once we got that tub, but he still can't. But I have worked everything out and I have learned to deal with it the way it is. One thing I know for sure is my husband can't fall out of the tub and that makes me feel better.

I got a walk-in tub for my husband's instability. Sometimes, he would get kinda dizzy, like with vertigo. The installation went easily, except for one thing, and I've already told someone that called and ask us about it. One of the workers went in my closet and closed the door behind, and when we walked in, we didn't see him. When I went over to the closet door and opened it, he was just standing in my closet. I knew he had taken the electrical plate off the light switch and I was assuming that was to hook a wire up so he could run something in the tub. But there was absolutely no reason he should've shut that door. If I had seen him rummaging, I'd have sent him on walking. They didn't clean everything but they collected everything up and I thought they did a good job cleaning up.
I like that at any given time, my husband can go in the tub and there's absolutely no way he's gonna fall. He can go on his own. There are things to hold on to that they installed for the hands. There's also one on the tub he can hold onto to get in and out and sit down properly. It was perfect for him. I also like that I can bend over and wash my hair there, how quickly it fills up and drains, and how I can actually put my foot up on the feet and dry off. It's very nice.

I had been looking at walk-ins for probably two years and I just never had to sit down to get one. Then I decided, all of a sudden, I needed it. The installation went wonderful. I like soaking my feet in my Epsom salt in there. I enjoy the whole thing. I had back problems, so the jets are really good. I've got them in my legs as well. I have diabetes. Then the day before yesterday, my feet went numb. I went to the emergency room and they told me it was just neuropathy. I came home that night. I turned the ball on foot jets and then I put my feet on them and let them massage my feet well and it's helping.

My wife has difficulty getting in out of bath tub. She needed help as she kept on falling. Everything went well with the installation of the walk-in tub. It was very professional and very neat. The only thing that I have a problem with is that it said that when the jets were on, it was supposed to be heated water. But I don't feel that it’s heating up anything because it takes my whole hot water tank to fill up the tub one time for a Jacuzzi bath.

Independent Home was absolutely great when I got a call from them. The sales rep was wonderful and very polite. They had to cut the bathroom door to a bigger size 'cause we had an older, manufactured home. They put a new door in, cleaned up everything and put the tub in. Everything was perfect. The new walk-in tub was for my husband. But he injured his leg the day that they were putting that in and we were having a hard time getting it healed up. So he has only used it a couple of times but he loves it already. He has a very limited walking ability. So it's much better for him to get into that walk-in tub. He can clean himself and it's safer than trying to stand up in our regular shower.

My son is an amputee. So the Independent Home walk-in tub made it easier for him to be able to be more independent. He's able to manipulate it with his feet because that's how he uses that. It's good and we're pleased. But the door and the caulking around the tub need to be done. The piece on the door that locks it fell off. The door still closes but it's not as tight. Then, the caulking around the tub is not all there. Then the counter that they put up there that connects the tub needs to be done as well. Other than that, we're happy with the walk-in tub.
The installation was good and I was really pleased with it. I thought it was gonna take two days based on what the representative who came out to the house to write everything up was telling me. The installer started on a Tuesday and he worked till Friday but he was doing everything by himself. It took a little longer than I thought because the guy had to take out the wall and replace it and then there were things that had to be gotten from Home Depot. It was not an easy thing but he was great. So I did not mind it.

My dad is 87 and he's having a hard time. He can't get in and out of the bathtub and the shower sometimes, he feels like he's gonna fall. There’s a seat in there but it’s not something that he’s comfortable with. So, they had talked about getting a walk-in tub before. The representative from Independent Home was very nice. He explained a lot of stuff. The installation was amazing. The people that came were so nice. My dad wasn't really thrilled about getting rid of his shower at first. When they were taking it all apart, he was looking at it thinking there was no way he was gonna like it. But when it was all done, he said that it was amazing. They love the walk-in tub. It’s very relaxing ‘cause my dad can sit in it now and he doesn't think he's gonna fall. They also like the lights. The walk-in tub has been really amazing for them.

I got the soaker from Independent Home and I enjoy every bit of it. There was another model and I called it bubbles but I wasn’t going to be using that too often and it cost more money. So, I just decided I needed a tub. The sales rep I worked with was very nice and very courteous. I couldn’t ask for a better person. The installers were very nice, too. They cleaned up everything and I couldn’t ask for a better deal than that because they didn’t leave anything undone. It was beautiful in there when they got through and I was so amazed at how they got it in there because my bathroom was a little small. And it looked just like it belong in there.

From the start my wife and I were treated with respect and understanding. Shasta and Sandra came out to our home and explained everything clearly. They both answered all our questions. The schedule was made with us in mind. On the day of install Sandra wasn’t able to come but Shasta came alone and she did a phenomenal job. From start to finish she was very professional. We have never had a contractor come into our home and clean up after themselves like Shasta did. Her workmanship excelled our strictest expectations. Our one and only complaint is that we don’t have another home to put another walk in tub in. All of our friends and family that have seen the completed job are extremely satisfied with the end product. Several have expressed interest in having one installed in their home. We have already used the tub and are truly satisfied. Many thanks to Shasta and all the folks that made this install a breeze. David and Patricia

I lost my leg a couple of years ago and we needed to get a tub that was stable enough for me to get in and out of with one leg because I might lose the other one too. So I started looking on Facebook and we called Safe Step but they wanted quite a bit of money. And Medicare really don't help people like me that have prosthetics. So, we couldn't afford them. I started looking more and I set up an appointment with Independent Home. Their sales rep came out and was telling me what the price would be. His name was Patrick and he was very nice and very informative. He told us to call him if we had questions or anything. We've called him several times and he called us right back. I also liked the way he presented the tub and how he was so professional. He was very helpful to us because we did have questions, so we really enjoyed meeting him.
Aside from that, there's a lifetime warranty on the tub. Plus, we knew we'd be moving and when I asked him what was going to happen with my tub if I have to move, he said they will move it for free and reinstall it wherever I go. So because of that and the price, we went with them. Their rep came out with the paperwork while they were installing the tub. My husband and I filled all that out, and they weren't pressuring us about this or that as far as price. And they worked with us really well about getting the old tub out and getting the new one in. So, it was a good experience all around. So far, everybody wants to come in and see my tub and I've recommended it to five people who have all been at my house. One of our friends also wants to come and see it. She's at the beach right now but I have told her all about it and I gave her Patrick's number. When she gets back, she intends on calling him.

I decided to get a walk-in bath from Independent Home and their sales rep was very nice. The installers did a very nice job, too and I cannot complain about the workmanship. But I asked for tan in the paneling to put on the walls and what I got is yellow, which doesn't fit the room. The tub and my ceramic floors are tan. And my sinks are all white, so I feel sorry now that I didn't go with the white. I called and told them about it, but it's been three weeks now and I haven't heard back from them. So, I don't know if they plan on doing anything or not. Other than that, I like the convenience of the tub and I enjoy soaking in it. I'm elderly, and I cannot get down in a tub and soak. If I get down, you got to call 911 to put me up. But my favorite feature is I can sit in a tub now.

We got a phone call from someone that wanted to set up an appointment, so I set one up. The salesperson came and talked to us for several hours and we made the decision to go ahead and get a walk-in tub. I'm 73 and I've had two back operations and my husband is 70 and has knee issues. When you're this age, there are aches and pains. Because of my back operations, my balance is a little off, and it makes me nervous in the shower. We went with the Royal model. It has the lights that change color. It's the hydrotherapy tub.
The installers were great. I liked them very much. They were very helpful and they did a great job fitting the tub in. They showed us all of the different buttons we could push and how to adjust things. We did not get the shower attachment. It came with it, but we didn't want it because the showerhead comes up and out and it can wash my hair easily. The tub has the water and air, and the different colors. If you're sitting in it for a while and the water cools down a little bit, there's a button you can push that heats the water up again.

The walk-in tub from Independent Home seemed like a good deal. Purchasing it was easy and the installers were nice. But there are a few things that perturbed me. The walk-in tub takes so long to fill and I'm not very patient. I don't wanna sit there for 15 minutes while the bathtub fills, which I have to do. It's my water pressure and then I run out of hot water. They recommended the 50 but I said that the 40-gallon tank would be okay.

I'm disabled and I can't get in my other tub ‘cause if I get it in, I can hardly get out or I can hardly get in it. It's also hard when standing up for so long and taking showers. My husband also has bad hips and bad knees. We needed something that we could get in and out to relax in. So when we had the money to do an Independent Home walk-in tub, we decided to get it done. We both needed the jets to relax our bodies and our muscles. I also have bad arthritis in my back, hips, neck, and shoulders. So we got it to help relieve some of the pain. I love the walk-in tub mostly. It's a way to get in there and just sit back and relax.
The installers did a pretty good job. They had to move all the wirelines and everything. The old tub had a casing built around it and they had to take all of that down. So to me, it didn't really take them that long because it was a hard job. They got almost everything done the first day, and then the next day they were here not long. Then, the walk-in tub had a leak in it and they came out and fixed that. The guy was here for about 30 minutes and that was it.

We had a sales representative come to the house who didn't give me a very impressive presentation.

I kinda like Independent Home's style of tubs and it was a good choice for us. But if I would do it again, I would say no. It's overly priced. The price was right at $12,000. Also, you have to get into the tub and turn the water on so you're sitting there naked and getting chilled. Older people like myself are cold most of the time. You are sitting in an empty tub waiting for the hot water to show up. You also have to do the same thing when you get out. You have to wait for all the water to drain. I could have come up with something a little bit better like having the door a little bit higher.
We also don't have plenty of hot water and we had to turn our hot water up. It'd be really hot coming in because then you run out of hot water. So we turned our tank up and that stopped that. But I love the tub itself. The two guys that came out and put it in were wonderful. They explained how the tub worked. They did a nice job. They busted up my old tub when they took it out 'cause they couldn't get it through the door but they did a really swell job and cleaned up after themselves.

Independent Home is a great company to deal with. They're trustworthy. I got a call from one of their representatives and he was very pleasant. I didn't feel like it was pressure. He explained everything and we went through all the options. I made a fairly large downpayment but they gave terms that were easy to make. The installers were on time and courteous. They stuck to their business and did most of their working outside. They cleaned up really well any kind of mess they made. The installment looks so polished and professional. With what space they had to work with, they did everything right.
I like the jets and that I feel like I'm getting massaged. It's almost like I'm taking a bath in the middle of an old fashioned washing machine. I'm almost getting washed and cleaned without even having to use any soap. It's like the water is actually scrubbing you. The other day, I found this big old bag of Epsom salt, soap and things that I never used 'cause I was always taking a shower. I didn't know if that would hurt the tub or any of the aspects of it. I called Nate to ask him. I didn't get him at first but he called me back soon and said it'd be all right. So far, Independent Home has done everything they said they would do.

We found a few models of the walk-in shower and all kinds of prospectus on them, and decided that Independent Home would fit our needs the best, realizing that it is not that much different from many that we had looked at. However, its price was somewhat more reasonable than others had been, even though we felt it was expensive, but it was something that our time and physical abilities in our lives that we needed something that was a more accessible than the step-in tub that we had.
The sales representative came out, looked over the situation and we discussed the aspects of it. We went ahead and did it, and then scheduled an installation date and time. The installation crew came and proceeded to do it. They had a problem that they couldn't solve the first day so they had to come back the second day to actually do the installation. But they did it fairly efficiently, and cleaned up very well and left everything in a nice workable and livable condition without too much disturbance. It was an excellent experience.
The showerhead comes up on its rod just fine for pipes and so forth, but it would be nice if its handle was a little longer so that it came further out from the wall over the tub. When you use the shower head, it splashes back against the wall and the controls up against the front end of the tub there. It's hard to get under the shower. It doesn't come out far enough. It's partly due to the shower configuration. But we had somewhat of a problem with the splash from the shower over the shelf. It's the back edge of the tub that had to be filled in with a shelf between there and the wall behind it simply because of the configuration of the bathroom.
We get water over on the back side of the tub fixture and the tub installation. And then you have to sop up quite a bit of water back there. We've tried to rig some kind of a shower curtain on the backside as well. I realized that in some installations there's not a problem there, but in ours there is about a foot wide shelf across between or the side of the tub and the back wall of the bathroom. I'm trying to rig up an additional shower curtain to go on that side of it, so it has a shower curtain on both sides of the tub.

The only thing is when they show you how to do the hot tub and how to use all the features on the walk-in tub, they do it pretty quickly because it's the end of the day. Then the paperwork that they give you that tells you about each one of those features doesn't tell you much. I had to have my son-in-law help me figure out which one of the buttons did what and how that works. So, it'd be nicer if they put in the paperwork.

I've always wanted a walk-in tub, plus my husband and I are getting up in age. Independent Home called and asked me if I wanted to purchase from them, and I told them to send somebody out. The sales rep who came was really nice but after I had signed all the paperwork, he gave me the information booklet and it said on the front of it something about a discount for seniors. He didn't mention that beforehand but my husband and I both are seniors. So, I'm not sure if I got the discount. He also told me that the water would be heated but it's not. So, I was kinda disappointed about that.
Other than that, the installation went well and the installers were very professional. When I asked the guys if the tub has heated water, they said it doesn't but I can turn the jets on for 8 minutes before I get in and that'll cause it to blow hot air which kinda heats up the water. And so far, it's been fine. When you start putting the water in the tub, those jets will start blowing cold air and I don't know if it's because the water is cold because when you get in it, you have to turn the water on and the water's gonna come out cold right off the bat. And it might be because when the water starts getting hot, it can sense that, so it blows out cold air. But it's circulating that hot water and still steam up my mirror.
Normally, I'll sit in the tub for 30 minutes at a time and it doesn't ever get cold. But if you were in a regular bathtub, you'd be freezing to death by that time. All in all, I like everything about our tub and it's been great. Also, I had the stopper that wasn't sealing off well but they came right out and repaired it.

Any time I saw any kind of a consumer complaint, they went above and beyond in the way they addressed it and handled it. The sales rep explained everything in great detail and he was very honest. He could’ve sold me the top-of-the-line Cadillac or tubs, but he told me that I didn't need ambient light and Bluetooth speakers and all those other stuff. He told me what I want was a functional tub that was gonna help my health. I really appreciated that.
The installers showed up exactly when they were supposed to. They tried to minimize disruption and keep the noise to a minimum. They were here and then they were gone and I had a tub. There was no mess or fuss. They took the time to really explain how it all worked. But I would've moved the bar that they put up that you hang the handheld showerhead about a foot to the right. Because I do have a concern that the water splashes and it might go down that hole where the tubing comes from. But other than that, I have no complaint. Not only has it helped my physical health, it's helped my mental health. I can go in, light a scented candle, put on some soft music, and spend 20 or 30 minutes just enjoying it.

The Independent Home sales rep was very good and the installation was wonderful. The installer had to do some wiring and he had to put it in a conduit. He didn't have it easy to get to, so that took a little bit more time, but it was not long. We took a day and a half. Another thing is that the rep said to wipe out the tub every time we showered or bathed, but he didn't tell me how to clean it, so I just took a 409 Cleaner and cleaned it. It wasn't dirty, but even though you wipe it out and you're bathing in it, you're still leaving stuff in it.
Other than that, the tub has been really nice and it made things so much easier. My husband doesn't have a rotator cuff, so he's just got one arm that he can use, but he can do very good in bathing himself now because he's enclosed. It's also not where he could fall, so he has really enjoyed that too. He just showers in it. I've used the tub and I like it but I hate to sit there for it to fill up. It takes a good while. Still, we have thoroughly enjoyed it and we love it.

The sales rep was a very nice person, or I wouldn't have bought the tub. The installers were terrific as well. I can't say enough about how they were extremely nice as well as polite and neat. They got it done and got up here and it was great. They did a demo too. The tub is wonderful. I take a bath in it every night and it does everything it's supposed to do. I spent the weekend cleaning house so having the jets hit all of my different parts feels so good. I love it. I show it off to everyone that comes out and I speak very highly of it.

I got a phone call asking if I'd be willing to listen to somebody explain or show Independent Home's product. We never looked at any other tub manufacturers. We were happy with what Independent Home offered and it looked very good and we got a significant discount. It was a no-brainer for us, and we're to the age where we needed a walk-in tub and I've had back problems, and it's helped that considerably.
The selection process was very simple. We liked what we saw, so we bought it. It's 28 inches. It's got the air and the aromatic stuff and the wave and light. As far as the sales, we did talk to Nate who is the customer relations man out of Des Moines, and he's been very helpful and very nice. The quality of work done by the installers is outstanding. I couldn't ask for any better. They were prompt and they were polite and they stayed out of the way. It was great. The experience was good. From the very first person, Lionel, that came out and talk to us, and on through with the phone follow-up and the scheduling of installation, all of it was fine.

Independent Home's rep came and talked to me about their walk-in bath. Previously, I had my mind on something like that because I needed it as an amputee. With the way the rep explained things to me, I became more interested in their product. I liked the seat and with it, I can get in the bath and sit. The first day their installers came to put in my bath, they got to my location sorta late and it was getting dark. They left to come back the next day but then they left their drill out front and somebody took it. After the cops were called, they found it and brought it back to my location. The installers came back and they finished everything. So far, I've been satisfied with my experience with Independent Home.

My husband is disabled. He had a stroke and he couldn’t get in our garden tub. He couldn’t stand up in the shower either. So, I thought that a walk-in tub would be perfect for him. So far, I like the one that we got from Independent Home. But he told me that the step on it was the size of a wallet and was shorter than what it was. My husband requires more for him to take a bigger step. So, we have a little trouble getting in and out, but we manage. Still, they could change the way the tub was made. They would have to tear that tub down and bring another one with much lower indents. When the sales guy demonstrated it, he did it with a wallet. He said that if you're able to step over this full step, you can step in it. But that step that we got is about three wallets stacked up. Other than that, I loved the installers who came out. They were very professional, very clean, and very quick.
I’d also seen that someone else offered the shower head to where it’s longer and you don’t have to hold it. But we have to hold the shower head with the one that they gave us. They gave us the one with the coil where you have to pull it out and pull it back in. It’s a long coil. But the one that I saw had a long extension where you don’t have to hold it and it's like you're under a shower. The tub is damn expensive, too. Medically, my husband and I are declared disabled people, and there ought to be some kind of incentive or discount for us, so we wouldn't be paying for it for five years. But despite all that, the tub is beautiful and I love it because my husband is able to sit down and shower, or bathe with the Jacuzzi, whichever one he decides to do that day.

Independent Home's installer was in a real hurry. He was a good guy and was doing a good job, but he didn’t put the base on the tub down by the floor. But he respected my home and the tub works great. It looks great, too, except for the base. But somebody called me the day before about this and I talked to them. Aside from that, the door enters inwards and it should open outwards, so there's more room to get in and out. My wife loves it, though. She loves the whirlpool and all of that.

We were checking on different bath companies and decided on Independent Home. A guy came out and quoted us a price. A few days later, they came in and they had a tub that had been ordered but not picked up, so they reduced the price for us. That’s when I had decided to go with them. The installation was fairly easy. They had to break the old tub up to get it out. Then, they had to widen the door to get the new tub in. But once they got it in, they cleaned everything up.
For all intents and purposes, it worked well. We've had it about two months now and we were happy but it started leaking and we haven't been able to use it for over two weeks. I was on the phone with them four or five times trying to get somebody to come out. One guy came out and tried to figure out where the leak was coming from but couldn’t find it. Another problem is it seemed like the water doesn't stay cold long enough. The guy that came out to work on it the second time turned our water heater temperature up a little bit. And we haven’t been able to use it since he turned it up because it’s been leaking. We’ll have to wait and see once they get it fixed.
The carpet has been ruined in the bathroom because of the leak. It doesn’t leak when someone is filling the tub up, but once you put weight in the tub, that’s when it seemed to start leaking. We think there must be a crack in the tub. The guy I talked to is supposed to have someone contact me to come out and see if they could find out what's going on. I was to call him back Monday to get an update, but with this going on, it's hard to get somebody out to go anywhere.

The experience has been great. We love the tub. It’s a very good product. It’s probably better than what we had originally looked at. My husband had looked at another company but he wasn’t really impressed with them or the salesman. So he elected not to go that far and chose another path. It took us about a year to decide who to go to. With Independent Home, my husband liked what they had, the fact that they don’t advertise on TV and that they stand behind what they’re doing. And no matter how long it took, the guy stayed here and finished it. We also liked how frank and upfront they were about things.
The installers were great. They were here a little bit longer than normal, which was okay with us. They were very nice, young men and we just treated them to dinner. They were like family. We thoroughly enjoyed them. My favorite thing about the tub would be the jets by the feet because I have neuropathy due to cancer and that massages my feet really nicely. The tub could make the blood flow even more so and it’s massaging at the same time which is really great because I can never massage like that does.

Also, it’s easy to get in and out and it drains real fast. If there is one thing that wasn't explained fully, it's that we have a 40-gallon hot water heater, but it doesn’t fill it up before the water gets cold. So, a 40-gallon is not big enough.

Independent Home came in. I showed them the bathroom, they did their measuring, and they told me that they also had people licensed for electricians and plumbers, and they would put in a new big hot water tank, and added that in the price. Also, any question we had, they answered it as thoroughly as we hoped they would.
They didn’t finish that first day because of putting in the hot water tank. They had to come back and finish wiring in the hot water tank because it was a bit longer than just their day, but we were fine with them coming back again the next day and it went well. They were very thoughtful. They put down mats and didn’t wanna track stuff in and out. Other than being able to get in it good, the jets are lovely. I feel so safe. They put up enough handholds that I feel so safe, like I’m not gonna slip and fall.

I don't like my walk-in tub from Independent Home. It takes too long to fill up. That's our water problem. But it is too short and I can't lay my head on the back down as low as I can get. If I was about 4-foot tall. I would probably be very comfortable in that tub but my husband hadn't even been in it at all. But I don't care for it.
Initially, I had a man call and he said that he would give me a free estimate on the tub. When he got out here, my husband was home. I told my husband, "I'd rather have a hot tub than bathtub." Our hot water heater is a 50-gallon heater but it drains the hot water heater. We can't get it full. The cold water starts coming in. I just wish we hadn't had got it.
I enjoy it once I get it full. It takes so long for it to fill up. I don't have enough hot water to fill it. We're on country water and our pressure is not that strong. I'm sitting there in the cold and I could use the shower one to keep me warm. We've got a nice big walk-in shower, so that's where we bathe. And we bought the one from Independent Home just for more or less a leisure tub. But a hot tub would have been so much better for us because we're both still very mobile and it might be good for invalid type person that can't lift their foot.
The installation went all right. I wasn't too pleased with the way the door trim came out because the installer left the spackling drywall stuff on the wood of the door, but I could probably get that off with the sander. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Overall, I'm dissatisfied. We didn't need the tub.

I could see them going in and out of the house, and I could hear them cutting, and doing this and doing that and talking. The first time they came in, we just greeted each other.

I really like laying in my tub and relaxing. I’m 80 years old. I like the looks of it. I can shower if I want to. I can run the water and run it up until I just lay there and relax. I don’t get around much as I used to. I like it because when you don’t get out and work and move around too much like I am now, you could have a flaky skin. But with the tub, you sit there, and you put some kinda stuff in it, and it'll help you oil your skin up. I love it myself. I didn’t care about all that other junk they put on there. Just a plain sit down and wash is all I cared about.

They even provided and put in a new toilet for me. They also installed the vanity I bought and put the leftover flooring that I had down. The only thing that I had to do was to paint the wall.

When the jets hit me, I just relax. And I’ll sit in there until the water starts getting a little cool. Then I get out, dry off, go lie down, and I go sleep. After they left, there was no leak, but now, I’ve got a small leak coming out of the drain all of a sudden.

This is the worst investment we have ever made. We purchased a Walk-In Bathtub Independent Home Walk In Bathtubs about a year ago and have only used the tub about 3 times. The salesman talked us into buying a "big boy" tub and it takes about 30 minutes to fill (no one wants to sit in a tub for 30 minutes waiting for the water to rise high enough to turn on the jets). Plus, we had to purchase an additional hot water heater because we ran out of water with our standard 55 gallon heater. We're still paying on this $10,000 outfit and are unable to use it. We're both over 70 years old and on a fixed income. We're very unhappy with this. How much would you charge us to exchange this model for a much smaller one?

The sales rep we had from Independent Home was very knowledgeable, and he went out of his way to give us what we wanted. I wish I had known I needed a bigger water heater, though. We started out with a small one, and somewhere in the conversation, he told me I need a 50, so I wrote that down. We then went to the bigger one, which takes 80 gallons, and I installed the 50 without even thinking about it. Still, I'm thrilled with my tub. I got it because of my bones, for the aches and pains, and I like that it's a walk-in tub because I don't have to lift my leg over it.

I use my Independent Home tub a couple times a week and it relaxes me, particularly my legs. I had lung cancer and I had chemotherapy, and my legs just get numb. Using the tub helps on that more than anything.
Hi Bernie,
Thanks for sharing how your walk in spa tub helps with your aliments and your numb legs. We are glad the therapy is helping. Have a great day!

I have a knee replaced and I was having trouble stepping over my old tub. When I heard about Independent Home, I decided that was what I wanted, and it has helped. It feels good when I take a bath. I like using the tub and the shower at the same time. I’ve really enjoyed Independent Home. It was exciting just watching the installation. They were prompt and finished before the day was over. The only thing was that the shelf that they put in behind it came from my old tub, which is fine and it looks beautiful. But the water runs down the shelf and I always have to get all that water out the back when it comes up against the wall. The water stands there if I don’t get it out. But I don’t think there's anything they can do about it because they'd have to tear up the tub to do it. So, it’s just better to leave it alone.

I used to sit on a stool in the bathtub and shower. In the TV advertisement for Independent Home, it looked to me like I would be sitting more solidly in the shower. I needed it more for myself because my balance is so poor. We made an inquiry and a salesperson came to our house. The installation went well. I like the shower part of my bath setup. I tried to fill the tub up but it took too long for me. Our son lives with us and he likes to fill the tub. But it sprung a leak when he was trying to fill it. We found out that there is a bracket at the backside of the door that had come off. When you pull that handle down, that seals the door to the bath. The installer came and fixed that. He put a stronger epoxy. That aside, I've felt a lot of improvement in that there are less aches and pains since having my tub.

I’m 81 and I could not get in and out of my bathtub without serious injury if I fell, so I bought the walk-in tub. I love it because it’s so easy to get in and out of. You just walk in. I had a safety bar put in also as I go in and I have one on the wall. The installers were wonderful. They came and put the floor down and let it season down there before they put the windows up.

The tub is a little more expensive in another company so Independent Home is better. It's still more than I’d like to pay but it is what it is. I contacted Independent Home because I saw something where it was listed where ConsumerAffairs gave information and it was one of the other reasons why I did it. I had suffered two strokes and a knee replacement, and getting up and down out of a tub didn't work for me. So, the walk in tub allowed me to take a bath, which is for the soothing of my joints and body. I couldn't take a bath before and I only take a shower, and when you need to soak, you need a bathtub. So, I got it for medicinal purposes and comfort. I don’t use the tub all the time though because it takes 40 gallons to fill it up. But I'm pleased with the purchase and the product. The installation went better than I thought. It was shorter than the time that I expected. The installers came in, and were professional and very kind.

My husband got a phone call, talked to them, talked to me about it, and made an appointment. The rep was very cordial and he explained everything. They did a good job in the installation. I was a little nervous in the beginning because I did not know how it was going to come out. But, he kept reassuring me that I'd love it when he got completely through with it, and I did. It is very nice and it works good. It’s a little small for me, and I wish it were more open. But, my bathroom is small, so I understand that they could not open one of the walls up to be more airy. Also, I have water pressure in the rest of the house and the tub fills in a couple of minutes. But, as far as the shower, it doesn’t have the pressure that I’d like for it. Overall, I'm a clumsy person and I fall in way too much, and it makes me feel a lot more secure. I don't slip around in it, which is good. I have grab bars and a set to sit on, so I'm pleased with that.

We love our Independent Home tub. My husband and I both have issues because we're 85 and 86, and he has a terrible back. And so, we've been talking about getting more of these tubs. This young man called and said he was in our area making calls, and that they were putting a special out. He said, "I'm from the Dallas area, but I'm in Amarillo, and I would love to come and present this to you." I asked if he could be here at 10 o'clock in the morning which was a Saturday morning in December. He was here at 10 o'clock that Saturday morning. It was very unusual for anybody to make that kind of a prompt call by phone especially in person.
He came in and we met with him, but we had to go to MD Anderson. My husband has cancer, and we were going down for a check-up. And so, we told him, "Nate, we cannot sign now because we don't know what we're gonna find out when we get to MD Anderson, and we must wait and see what we have going on." He said he was gonna be working the Amarillo area and that he would call us. We had to go down on Wednesday, see the doctor, had test run, do the doctor's thing on Thursday, and we started home Friday. I asked Nate what was the plan, and he said he'd call us at 4 o'clock Friday. We were driving through Fort Worth, Texas at 4 o'clock Friday, and I got a phone call from him. He stayed over to meet with us Saturday morning. He was here at 10 o'clock. He called at 4 o'clock. You don't find that in this world today from young people. And so, that made a great impression on us.
We went through it all. And we had looked at some others and we had tried to get local plumbers even from as far as Lubbock and Amarillo to come and give a look at where it had to go and look and see what could be done about it. We talked to the guy in New York. We talked to one in Des Moines that was head of the contractors. Then Christmas came and went. And so, we decided that we would do it after Christmas. They've contacted us, gave us a time that the contractors would be here, and they came a day and a half early. They called, and this is Shonda and Shasta.
Shasta's the head of contractors. She called and said, "Could we come and look? We know this is gonna be an unusual job for us." They came out Sunday evening, and they were here when they told us they'd be here. They told us that they would be here at 9 o'clock Monday morning to start the work, and they had a plan. They were here at 9 o'clock every day that they worked for us because that's the time they chose to come. These two women did an awesome job.
We are in love with the whole thing so far. We enjoy the air bubbles and the water jets. We like the low shower. When we went back to the doctor for the first time after my husband had used it just a couple of times, his back was so much better that the doctor told us that it had probably moved some muscles off of the nerves that were giving him a lot of his problems. We're very satisfied.

Our tub from Independent Home is larger than what our hot water heater will supply hot water to. My husband and I both need the tub. I’m an invalid and he’s had his hip replaced and without any help.

And I like a bath and we’ve tried that, but I didn’t like sitting there waiting for it to fill up. Other than that, the installation went really good. The men were very nice and they worked so hard.

We like our Independent Home tub. The only thing we don't like is that they didn't put a rod in for the shower holder. We would like to have had that but we didn't get it. But with Independent Home, I don't have to step over the edge of the tub now. We just step in and we can sit down if we want to. We can fill the tub full of water and have a whirlpool type of thing. My wife has trouble with her legs and her knees, and she's able to get in and have the jets push out the water. That helps her greatly. She gets a lot of relief from the pain that she had been suffering. The only thing about the installation is that the men didn't put the bathroom door back right. The door would not close after they left. We had to have it redone. That aside, they were very efficient and easy to get along with.

I love my tub from Independent Home. If I wanna get in and just soak my feet, I have the ability to do that. It's nice. There are no pans to haul around and clean up after. I love taking my bath in it and sitting back and relaxing. In the bathtub, with my bath condition, if I got down in the tub, I couldn't get out. Therefore, I was only taking showers and I can't kneel on my knees to get out. So, with the one from Independent Home, I'm sitting up, I can get in and out, and I love it. It is safer and easier. I don't have to worry about falling or slipping and sliding trying to get out of the bathtub, putting weight on my knees which I can't do without severe pain. So, this is with a chair for all.
The installation went great. The two men that came and did it were absolutely marvelous. They were asking me questions, and they went all out. They had to take a wall out going down to my basement to get it in behind there because the doors were so small going through, and rather than to have the doors replaced, they did it that way. They're ingenious. They were so polite and kind. And the product has great quality. It doesn't leave circles in the tub, and I love the blower that blows on and dries it out. I have to clean it some, but it's nothing like a big bathtub.

We got one of these tubs in November and it became unusable in January. My wife was in the tub when it filled and couldn’t turn the water off. The handles moved, but the water kept flowing. If I hadn’t been home she would be in a fix. Had to turn off the water at the cut off. Been out of service for ten days still waiting for the service man. Customer Servive is poor and it takes him days to follow up. Guess what the “Lifetime” in Lifetime Guarantee means. Very frustrating.
