    They did a super job and were very friendly. Left my house as they had found it. They arrived on time and were finished by mid afternoon. I would recommend them to my friends. I’m very anxious to try my new bath. Thanks so much.

    We got a tub and a shower combined from Independent Home, and I like that I feel safe in it. They said this is the first one here in Grand Island. The guy that sold the tub to us was wonderful and very friendly. He asked us a bunch of questions, especially concerning my health. The guys that put the tub in were wonderful as well. They came in and shook my hand because I’m in a chair, and every time they walked by me, they said something to me. It was funny, and I enjoyed them very much. At the same time, they were meticulous at what they did. They put a canvass from my hallway down through my living room and through my sun room. They even had it in the bathroom. They didn’t get my carpet dirty, so it was a wonderful experience.

    I had a good experience with Independent Home and I like everything about the walk-in tub that I bought from them. It was the size that I wanted and the rows are very conveniently placed to be used as both a tub and a shower. The dealer I bought it from was very professional and the purchase went very smoothly. It was as easy as it could be. The installation team was wonderful and they knew what they were doing. They did very well and there were no glitches at all.

    Independent Home's salesperson was very nice. He seemed very knowledgeable and he was very convincing, and we believed him. We usually get American Standard and he said it wasn't as good, so we went with him. The installation team did fine, too. My husband is the one that uses the tub more. The grab bars appealed to us and the seat was the right height for my husband to sit on.

A couple of doors had to be widened but the installation of the walk-in tub was done in one day. I like the tub's design overall and it’s a good product. It's doing a good job and my wife loves it.

    I had an excellent experience with the salesperson of Independent Home that came out. The process of purchasing the tub was a piece of cake, as well. The installers were very nice and really cleaned up too. And it was a good deal. However, the little pocket area where the door closes in holds water down there after I enter it. And I have to wipe it out each time. But I got the handicap feature with the jets and there's nothing I don't like about it.

    I saw a brochure on Independent Home and I wanted to try it because it gave a good definition of what old folks should do. I’m old and I was having trouble getting in and out of the tub. With the walk-in bathtub, I could sit down for as long as I wanted and it would eventually start filling water at me and I like that. I had very nice interactions with the salesperson who sold it to me as well as the installation team that put it in. The tub is very good and now, I could take a shower or just sit there and soak.

    There's been so much advertising about walk-in tubs. We responded to something and a guy from Independent Home made an appointment, came out, looked the house over, and talked to us. It was a great experience with him. He made all the sense in the world and sounded like he knew what he was talking about. Since my wife had expressed a lot of fear about getting in and out of the old tub, the man was at the right place at the right time. We went with a walk-in tub shower with hydrotherapy. Based on how the salesman was describing it to us, it seemed to have the best set-up of all of their models. Although the installation team that came out started and finished late, they were a good team. They were courteous and they answered our questions. I'd tell my friends to check out Independent Home.

    Someone from Independent Home called me and the salesperson was nice and very talkative. We had wonderful interactions. I checked with other tub manufacturers and the prices were higher. So, I got the Independent Home tub model they told me over the phone and then the installers who came were great. However, the aromatherapy feature doesn’t work right and doesn’t even smell when I take it out. I think they gave me stuff that doesn’t smell and so far, I haven’t found any place to buy the stuff. Other than that, I don’t have to climb over the bathtub anymore like I used to do.

    I had several bids and Independent Home was the lowest. The other companies I called were so high-priced. I got Independent Home's walk-in tub and it has a shower. I like the waves and all. They told me they could do the work in one day and they did. They did a great job too. Someone else said it would take them two days to do the job and but Independent Home did it within six hours. Their installers were very professional and nice. They explained everything to me.

    The only thing is I have a problem with the bank because the salespeople told me I didn't have to make a payment until December. But Synchrony Bank was on me about making a payment in November. I'm a little upset and I hope the problem gets resolved. Greg is supposed to talk with the bank because I don't want my credit going down.

    I’ve been seeing the pictures of all of the different walk-in tubs in all the different magazines, flyers and had been really interested. Independent Home had a good price and we decided to look into it. It had good features and we went with a walk-in tub that sits down one person. However, we’ve got a big hot water heater and Independent Home does not have a water heater that goes with the tub.

    I saw a lot of tubs that had hot water right with them, but the sales rep said that the Independent Home tub doesn’t need a water heater because the water stays warm from the motor running. However, our tub is half full and the water is cold, instead of hot. And that was my big disappointment. I don’t use it as much as I thought I would. I’m not happy with them of not having the hot water. I also wouldn’t go with it unless they come up with a way to make that water hotter. But other than that, the interaction with the installation team was very good. They seemed to answer all the questions. They got the job done nicely, except for one bathroom door that doesn’t latch where they had to take it off the frame and then they put it back on.

    Independent Home called for me and made an appointment to talk about the tubs and the benefits. I called my son and he came down. We both went through the program with the salesman who came and my son seemed to think it was good for me. At that time, I was getting afraid to get into my tub. I was afraid I was gonna slip and fall. The walk-in tub I chose seemed like a really good deal and it was what I needed. My son also agreed with me so I went ahead and got it. The installation went really well too. In about a day and a half, the tub was in and they were through. The team was very good and I'm very satisfied with the tub. Now, I can get in and take a shower, and not be afraid to fall. It's been a great experience.

    An old boy that sold the walk-in bathtubs to me had my phone number so I asked and he told me about it. I wasn't even thinking about having one, but I did it anyway since I'm 88 years old and I'm getting to where I was thinking I'm gonna have a little problem. So, I thought that this would be a good time to do this. The guy said the Independent Home tub was half-priced. I purchased the highest priced walk-in bathtub because it had a shower and a quick pump to drain the water if something happened and had to get out.

    The installation took a little over half a day, but then it was hard. My bathroom door was narrow so he had to take the pieces off and cut a chunk out of it to get it in there. When they put it back together, I could hardly tell where the installers sawed it off. They've done a good job and cleaned up after themselves. However, the tub was not as good as I thought I would. It's unhandy to sit up there and get my feet washed. I'm not used to it yet and don't know what to do with it, but I'm happy with the tub.

    We got a call from a guy from Independent Home who wanted to come out the next day and he did. He talked to us and didn't sell us anything that we didn't want. The price was right and it had everything that we really wanted. That's why we went with them. We live in a double-wide trailer, and it was gonna be a really big job to get it in our bathroom. So, we told them to cut the Sheetrock and slid it in from our den, and that was what they did. Then they put the Sheetrock back. It has a crack on it, but it’s not really that bad and noticeable. The installation went well and they cleaned up after. The tub has this feature where it can massage your feet with just the air blowing around your feet. It will start blowing real hard and then it'll settle down a little bit. Then, it will come back again with a surge. They also put some aromatherapy on it. We love it.

    I like Independent Home and I've put the word out for them too. it is a great company and they have a great crew working for them. I purchased the tub due to my health problems. I’ve had back surgery and I have serious problems with my legs. And the gentleman who came out was very forthcoming and patient. He walked through the whole process with me and there was no pushing. When he came back to do some additional caulking, he even stopped at Walmart and picked up a shower curtain and a curtain rod. He didn’t have to do that but he did and he even hung those for me. The guy was fantastic.

    The installers were very good also. They laid down stuff so they didn’t track through the house and they cleaned up after themselves. Plus they were very careful not to bang stuff around. I was very impressed with the whole process. The tub has been a big plus for me too. It’s been a big relief for legs and backs. As a matter of fact, my brother used the tub while he was here and he enjoyed it as well. He has diabetes and he used it a couple of times. He very much liked it.

    It had a quadruple bypass operation and the hospital people kept pressing me to not get in and out of a tub without someone with me because I could fall. They made me so afraid of taking a tub bath. I had two tubs but I was terrified. I didn't take a bath and I just hand washed at the sink for a month. So, I decided to get a walk-in bathtub. Somebody from Independent Home came here to tell us about their tub and then, somebody came a couple of weeks later to put it in which was wonderful. The installer would stop to explain things, then we understood and left but the installation was so smooth and it was all done in one day. We came back later to put the holder up for the soaps and it was perfect! I didn't think I'd like that little wire thing holding the shower head but I've learned to adjust to it beautifully.

    The first time I stepped into the tub, I thought it was a little high inside because it's higher than the floor but I love the tub! I can now take a shower without anybody around. I had independence. I can't just take a shower when I wanted to before. I had to have somebody there but now, I got a lot of freedom from being stuck on other people and their timing.

    My mother had a really severe arthritis and had fallen and gotten a compression fracture. It was really hard for her to get in and out of the other tub. I was purchasing the Independent Home for her and before it got installed, she passed away. After my mom died, my dad got sick and been in and out of the hospital in emergency rooms and doctors' offices. I had to take a medical leave of absence to stay home with him and get things situated. I thought my dad would be able to use the tub, but he can't because he is in much worse shape than my mom was, and he can't get in and out of it without a lot of difficulties. So I have to have a walk-in shower installed somewhere. My sister and I use it, and we like it.

However, it was supposed to take two days and they were here for almost a week and they've come in late. I had a cast iron tub which they broke out instead of trying to just take it out and move. The man and his wife came, and he said normally his son comes, so I'm assuming that was why he decided he had to bust it up to get it out because his wife couldn't carry that heavy tub. Nevertheless, I'd recommend Independent Home. I was just a little disappointed with the time thing.

    My husband is gonna be 80 next year and I’m gonna be 79. The jacuzzi tub we have is a really big one and it’s surrounded by a deck in the bathroom. At our age, getting in and out of that tub is difficult. So, we looked into getting a walk-in tub as a safety factor. We figured we could put that in so we could sit down to take a bath or we could stand up or sit down to take a shower.

    Independent Home contacted us last year, but we weren’t ready to buy a tub then. I told them to give us a call later this year and that was what they did. We told them what space we had. We have a 5-piece bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, a separate toilet, double sinks, and a separate shower. The tub would take the place of the shower. The space we had for the shower was four feet long, so the tub had to fit into that space since that was the only place we could put it in. We bought a 48-inch tub as that was exactly what we had room for. Then we got our tub in 48 hours.

    The installation went very smoothly. The installers not only installed a new tub but installed a new hot water heater as well. There were two guys working on removing the old water heater and installing the new one, and there were three guys consisting of an electrician, a plumber, and a supervisor working on the tub. Afterwards, they cleaned up everything and took out the old shower and the tile surround. They did an outstanding job and did it all in one day. I would certainly recommend Independent Home to anybody. They did a fantastic job.

    This company tried to put in a walk in shower style that I did not order and was subpar. When I complained one of the 4 people I talked to, named Greg, tried to intimidate and bully me into accepting their product. I also found out from my plumbers that they damaged my joists in my floor and did not do any plumbing in the correct way! The people that installed the shower were not plumbers or licensed contractors and should not be do this work. For people that may have gotten the correct tub or shower still do not know the damage that was done under the tub or shower or their house.

    This company should be put out of business! If you are reading this do not hire this company and if you already have, please have a plumber check the plumbing work and structural work that was done during installation! If you have had a problem with this company and were not satisfied, contact your Attorney General in your state to see if something can be done to stop them from scamming and cheating senior citizens across the country!

    One of my friends in a nearby town told me that there was a guy over at her house, trying to sell her an Independent Home walk-in tub. She lives off her Social Security and couldn't afford it. She as told she could get a loan, but she doesn't don’t make that much off Social Security to pay a loan off. I said I was interested in the walk-in tub and to send the guy over. She gave him my phone number and he made an appointment with me.

    I’ve seen pictures of other brands and some of the prices were more than what Independent Home's were. Independent Home's price of $16,000 is still too damn high though. They say everybody can afford it. If it cost about $5,000, everybody would probably have one, but it cost $16,000. I’m fortunate enough to have money to get one but I know six other people that came over here, looked at it and said they wish they could afford one. The other ones cost even more, with some costing 25.

    You couldn’t find anybody any better and nicer than the two guys that put it in. They were terrific. They took one day for the installation, plus they also installed a water heater that day. I had some trouble with mine though. The part that ran the air bubbles and the water motion inside of it went out about a month after I got the tub. It was all covered, but I had to call somebody and it took them two weeks to get here. I could still take a bath, but I couldn’t run the air jets and the water circulation. That's what helps me a whole lot. I have trouble with my legs and it makes them feel a whole lot better. They were so busy at the time because they also contract and build houses. The walk-in tubs are just a sideline for them.

    The tub is convenient but it says down at the bottom that the tub is 3 inches off the floor, but mine is 9 inches off the floor. I’m bound to a motorized wheelchair and I can get up, but I can’t walk. As long as I’m holding onto something, I don't have difficulty getting in and out the tub. But once I sit down, I have to have my son to help me get back up whenever I wanna stand up in the tub. Everybody should have an Independent Home walk-in tub if they could afford it.

It's nothing serious and the tub is working efficiently, although it's good if I can keep my husband to remember to not try to open the door before all the water is out. It's a lot of mess to clean up and that’s our little problem. Otherwise, we are very pleased with the tub. It fits fine into our bathroom.

    I got a tub from Independent Home which has a handheld shower that can be put up for a regular shower. The water jets are small but rather powerful when we use it. It's about a 6-inch step to get in the shower and for me, since I am somewhat handicapped, it's easier to get in than out. But other than that, I like the tub very well and I like the features which I can use in various different ways.

    The interaction I had with the rep was very pleasant and he was convincing that the tub was the kind to buy. He seemed to know what he was talking about and since we got it, we believe him still. The installation team was also very pleasant and seemed to be an expert in their knowledge of what to do. It only took four to five hours for them to complete the installation which included removing and replacing the old tub, shower and commode. They also had to take the door in the bathroom off and reverse it so it'd open a different way. All in all, it was an excellent job when it got finished.

    I spoke with members of the corporation today. It appears we have reached an acceptable solution to this issue and they have agreed to complete this in a timely fashion. We realize that mistakes can happen and feel they are taking the appropriate steps to correct the matter and we expect rectification by the end of the week. They were professional and their responses to our family’s concern were addressed with respect.

    Original Review: Oct. 6, 2018

    Sadly, my family's experience does not match the reviews I have read. My elderly parents (one with extremely limited mobility, aged 91 years, and the other with orthopedic injuries, aged 90) and I met with a salesman last week. He portrayed himself as knowledgeable, professional, and caring. A plan was chosen and a scheduled implementation date of one week later was chosen. Midway through the week, he called me to ask if the install date can occur one day earlier, to which we agreed. They arrived on time and all appeared to be going well until the tub came in. My dad saw that it was the wrong one and he called our salesman. Our salesman said he spoke with his boss who advised that our parents' situation would be better suited with the configuration delivered. OUR SALESMAN DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS, NOT DID ANYONE COME TO REMEASURE!!!

    Additionally, the movement of plumbing was in the contract and price, which was not done. Sadly, the tub does not work because there is no room to open the door due to the location of the toilet. Again, no one came out to remeasure, they only destroyed the existing bathroom rendering us helpless. The installer said that the job was 'GOOD ENOUGH" AND THE SALESMAN HAD THE AUDACITY TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY, which of course was not given to him. The contract also called for a new toilet. This was met with the cheapest toilet the big box store had to offer. This has been an insulting, disappointing, and eye opening experience.

    We have been fed numerous untruths about this entire project. Additionally, the door does not lock when closed, leaving water all over the floor, the shower to faucet button does not work, the shower head does not come out far enough into the tub to be able to stand under the shower, and now, my elderly parents are extremely distraught over the mess left behind. We were told someone would call; WHEN? WHO? Don't know.

    Not that it even matters at this point but the $1500 coupon advertised on the website was not even offered. Our salesman also insists that there is no extra cost involved in moving plumbing from one side of a room to another, breaking tiles, and replacing with new grout, tiles, trim, etc. It is as if he believes we are uneducated and have no idea what is involved in a project of this magnitude. This bath was intended to make their lives simpler, easier, more peaceful. It has done nothing of the sort and has so far caused heartache, anxiety, unrest, and distrust.

    We have been looking at walk-in bath tubs for some time. My wife was having extra problems and a phone call came from Independent Home so we might as well take a look at it. The salesman did a wonderful job of going through the differences between Independent Home's bath tubs and their competitors'. Also, he shared his own personal experience with his tub, and looked at where we want to put in, making sure it would work.

    We got a walk-in bath tub that’s a bit wider so it would be easier for my wife. Independent Home's team was very professional about the installation. They looked at a couple of different options. I was thinking of one that might work, but that didn’t. The team came in and did a good job of getting the tub taken care of. The only thing I had to touch up on after they left was a little bit of the caulking that they put down there. As it started to dry, there were a couple of gaps so I took care of them. Also, where the old shower head was, you got a little hook type thing to put up there. When I took the tape that the installer had up there, after a few days off, it didn’t stay so I got a different hook that I could put up there. I filled it with some more caulking and waited for that to dry.

    We are enjoying the bath tub very much. It’s a different kind of experience of bathing than what I had for the last several years where it just had been showers. But my wife always liked to soak and she missed that. She is very much enjoying being able to go in and soak. Also, the jetting seems to help her mobility. The salesperson convinced me to try to do it also. The muscle relaxes. I like it. I sit there and read for a while and relax.

I'm a large lady, and the people at Independent Home weren’t sure which tub would fit with me even though the guy measured me. They didn't know which would work best for me. They sent two different tubs so that I can make my choice. They freighted two of them just for me to look and pick. That was at their expense just to please me, and it did impressed.

    I got a tub with the door that opens out. It has a spray showerhead that I can put up and keep like a shower, and it can also be hand-held. The installation was done in one day. The installers were nice and they showed us how to use it. We hadn't had a problem with it. Yesterday, the tub didn't act like it wanted to shut off. I let the water out and it kept coming on, and I thought that we're gonna have to call Independent Home but we messed with it a little bit and it quit. I hate push button stuff because that's stuff that I can't do anything about. And I see something we need to address with somebody. The tub needs to have a kill switch or something to be able to cut the electrical off to it if it does that again, because I don't want it running all the time. It'll burn the motor up if it does that. We live way out and I hate for somebody to have to come out just for one little glitch. But if it keeps doing that, we'll have to call them.

    I’m disabled and I’m having trouble getting into the bathtub. So, I purchased a walk-in bathtub from Independent Home and everything went well from their salesman to the installation. When I had questions about the financing, there was a number of a gentleman that I called and he was very professional and very quick to answer. The installers were very good, too, and they did an excellent job. A the time, my toilet was running and they even fixed that. They were quick to get in and get out as well.

    But originally, I wasn't too thrilled with Independent's mode of financing. I had never seen a company financed through opening a credit card and they have to be a little bit more succinct about their financing deal. I got a new credit card member's paperwork that said it was a 25% but my agreement was at 7.5%. So, those were the questions on my phone calls. But in the end, it worked out fine. If a friend of mine would ask me about Independent Home, I would say that buying a walk-in bathtub from them is cheaper than getting a permanent injury and a stint in a nursing home while you heal if you’re disabled.

    We were cruising the internet and my husband picked out four tubs to look into and the Independent Home walk-in bathtub was one of them. The gentleman who came out, Murray, was very pleasant. He answered all the questions, and I had several in-between. The price was also much more reasonable than a couple of the others. We ended up going with the middle of the line model. It’s wide and it’s a 32. It’s the widest they had and it fits just right. I wanted the door on the outside and the most necessary thing I needed was I wanted to have it wide enough so I wasn’t wedged in there like a sardine. I’m wide and I wanna make sure I had enough width to fit comfortably on the seat. It was fit into the space that we had perfectly. The installation team was fast. Though they had to cut our bathtub out with a very noisy tool, we didn’t even know they were there. They did it all in one day and cleaned as they went.

    Additionally, Independent Home was gonna work with us on the pay because we were getting money back from the house and we were waiting for that to come in before we committed to paying for the tub. Originally, they had said that we can do it or wait until the money comes in, and we’ll just schedule then. The rep said we could do the credit card and we would take our money and pay it off. However, we got the credit card and paid for the tub on the credit card. Now, we are paying off the credit card. Still, the experience we had with Independent Home was friendly and efficient.

    I’ve looked at a bunch of walk-in bathtubs that’s on television locally and I have some issues with not doing local labor. Then a lady who is one of Independent Home's exterior staff people called and talked to us about thinking about walk-in bathtubs. She was consistent and willing to adjust to my timetable. It would be different if I made $200,000 a year and there was never enough money to worry about. But the issue was I needed to talk to her a couple of times, and she was persistent in a nice way. She also made sure that she calls back when she said she would.

    I like the idea of doing the bathtub installation in one day instead of dirt and tearing the place apart. Their installers said they'll come, and they came at 10:00 o’clock in the morning. The two fellows that came worked very well together. They worked with us if we had some questions. They had to do some adjusting and some modifications that I suppose were just normal for them. They also took with them our large old corner tub out and I did not have to dispose of it. They didn't bang up all the rest of the walls and the furniture, too. They took out the shower that was there and took it with them as well. They left that shower stall in such condition that my carpenter could come in and build a cabinet for towels, so that was good.

    They were still here at 7:00 pm, but it was all done and done perfectly and I have no callbacks of any kind, except to tell them that I like using it. The bathtub is a little different than what I had been used to. But I know, going forward, if I need a tub like it, either for getting in and out of it instead of crawling over the side of the tub, that part is taken care of when I’m in a wheelchair someday. The Independent Home walk-in bathtub is really easy to use and there are no leaks.

    I had a phone call from the Independent Home salesman, Randy, who was in my area and wondered if he could come talk to me. At my age, I have a problem getting in and out of the tub. I needed a walk-in bathtub but I had heard first that they were going for $25,000 and that was prohibitive. But when Randy told me the price of $10,000, I knew I needed to get it. The installation team came around 8:00 in the morning and then were out by 1 o’ clock. They were wonderful, very competent, professional, and they knew what they were doing. All I had to do was stay out of their way and they did a great job. Now, I feel wonderful and I should've gotten the tub sooner. But I also hope the price is coming down because elderly people really need the tub. It’s a lifesaver. I’m a physician of many years’ experience and at my age, every woman, especially who lives by herself, should have an Independent Home bath tub. So, by all means, go get it.

    The people who installed my Independent Home walk-in tub took a small space and found more space, so they can put the tub in there. They eliminated an awful lot of my storage areas, but that was a small sacrifice for having the tub. The tub is different and has built-in water jets, which are nice. But, the biggest thing for me about this tub is that I can sit down. What I do when I get in is I shower as the tub fills, and then once the tub fills, I turn those jets and sit there for a few minutes. It feels good when I'm in there, but it tires me out. And as I'm readying for bed, I pull the plug and it empties quickly which is good. I never have to freeze to death waiting for the water to go away. I would recommend Independent Home.

    I’d been thinking about a walk-in tub & after some reviews decided on Independent Homes. I could not be happier with my decision. I’m 73 with fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, lymphoma cancer history & back pain due to advanced degenerative facet arthrosis, (simply spine arthritis). I also have some vision problems which causes balance problems so safety is a major issue for me. I’ve had my spa tub about a month & look forward to using it every day. The installation was completed in one long day which amazed me. The guys were very professional, personable & took great care in protecting my wood floors. They had to move some furniture to create a work path & returned my furniture & cleaned up everything on completion of the job.

    It was obvious they had done this many times & I am so very satisfied with the results. The tub has 8 water jets & 30 three speed air jets, chromatherapy & aromatherapy. All the controls are easily accessible & easy to operate. I love the quiet motor & the self cleaning system. The controlled water temperature allows me to be able to enjoy staying in the tub for an extended period of time without the water getting cold. The system turns itself off after 20 minutes as a safety feature, but can be easily restarted for another 20 minutes which I usually do since my best pain relief comes in about 30 minutes of use. Actually there is nothing about my spa tub that I don’t like & I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    I’ve heard good things about Independent Home's service. If something goes wrong I can call and also that I can pick the tub up and move it to another home. And if I want to they will come in and hook it up. My husband had major back surgery and he could not get in and out of our tub so he needs a walk-in tub. We have a very small bathroom. We could’ve taken the tub out and put the shower in, but the shower is so small. So water would have been everywhere. And I didn’t have time to be adding on, knocking out walls because I needed to have something ready for him three weeks after rehabilitation in the hospital. My only option was to do a walk-in tub.

    If it had been a shower stall, he still would have to sort of twist to get in there and he could fall. And I would have to stay there with him all the time. In this way, I can get him in the tub and he can sit there and bathe himself. The Independent Home sales guy came and I bought it that day. He even gave us a better discount because my husband is a veteran. The installers worked like a well-oiled machine together. It was sort of funny. They were an older man and a younger guy. But they just knew what each other was doing and there weren’t a lot of talk. They just went to work and got it done. They knew everything. I was watching them and everything they did, I thought, “Wow, this is good.” They did a wonderful job putting it in.

    I had a carpenter come in and redo the whole bathroom. After they left, I had everything ripped out and we put a new toilet. They gave me a new toilet. They were nice people to deal with. Everything has worked perfectly and I can’t say that about everything else that I’ve had done since my husband got sick. I’m very satisfied and I’ve been recommending Independent Home to our neighbors down the street. The wife is gonna have similar back surgery to my husband’s. Her husband came down here, talked to us and he wanted to see the tub and all that because they have small bathroom too. And I said, “Well, see, this will fit the footprint. You can put this in.” That’s what’s really important especially in these older homes.

Even though the price bothered me some, the purchasing experience was okay. I gave them my credit card number, they checked it and it was valid. Then I paid for the tub. The installers were efficient, interesting and of good humor. They let me watch and they did a great job. They also put in a water heater and a garbage disposal for me, which I requested initially.

As a microbiologist for over 40 years, I feel reassured about the in-use Double Ozone Purification System, as well as the post-use Self-Purging Cleaning System.

Additionally, the Life Time Warranty on Workmanship AND the Motor eases my mind, giving me one less thing to worry about.

    The superb installation team of John and his son John Paul were professional, and very nice. They made every effort to lessen the impact of the construction project, and took very good care of my house. They had to perform an extra step of pouring a six inch slab of concrete since my old tub had been sunken, and still finished the work on time beautifully. Both of them were kind and considerate, and fun to talk to.

    I purchased the Hydrotherapy Spa because I have Arthritis in every joint. My Rheumatologist told me this treatment will give me a lot of relief from pain and the number of down days. I still work full time in the medical field, spend as much time in my huge gardens as I can, take care of my house, and spend time with my family. But anyone with Arthritis understands how difficult this can be at times. I have been showering for several years, anxious about bathing in my sunken Whirlpool tub. I had several falls in my home and garden and knew the potential consequences if I fell in the tub, especially if it were full.

    I didn’t like the way Independent Home's salesperson sold the tub to me. A lot of things he said is not practical. I told him I wanted it installed inside the bathroom shower and he said, “That’s no problem. We can do it. We can change the roof and you can do all these things.” He was sugarcoating a lot of things. The person who came to do the work said it was impossible to do it that way. So then they had to change it.

    The salesperson thought because I’m an older person, he could oversell me. The installer came from a different state. But that’s not what the salesman told me. He told me the person is local. And if I have any problems or anything, I can tell them and they can come and fix it. Now the installer is in North Carolina so that was also another gimmick that the salesman used. The first time when he did all this, I said, “You are a good salesman.” But now I feel like he’s not a good salesman. He was only looking for himself.

    I had a Jacuzzi and we had to take the Jacuzzi out and put the one I have from Independent Home. Now I wish I hadn’t done that. I feel like I wasted my $14000 -- closer to $15000. He cheated me with all the increased price and he said that we had to remove two doors in order to get the tub in. And finally there was only one door removed. They took $250 out of that one, because the door costs that much. I really like it. So I have to pay whatever they asked. But what they charged was not necessary. And finally I had to pay $4000.

    Also with what I have now I need to get inside before I start the water. With the Jacuzzi I can fill the water and then get inside it. So it was a big mistake I made, changing my Jacuzzi. I said I might get some help for my pain and aching of my leg. But no, that’s just the same gimmick. The Independent Home tub has almost the same effect I was getting from the Jacuzzi. I don’t recommend Independent Home to anybody. So if you have a Jacuzzi, don’t take it out. Use that one. This is worse than Jacuzzi and I'm very dissatisfied.

A good Independent Home salesman came to the front door and I said, “Come tell me what you can do as far as this bath tub is concerned” because I moved upstairs right above my husband’s room all the while he was sick. I said I need some sort of impetus to get me down to the first floor again and stay in the bedroom where he died. They showed me all they could do including take out that old bath tub and all the surrounding things. And I wanted a seat in there to sit down because I’m in my 80’s. I needed to sit down to wash my feet instead of trying to balance myself. I got the one where I have a seat in one corner that drains at the back. They enlarged the drain and put in a real fancy one as far as being able to sit there and handle the hot water, whether standing up shower or sitting down shower.

    The installation team was very polite. They were thorough as far as telling me when they were gonna be back and what they were gonna be doing. They cleaned up all the stuff to break up a tub, plus the walls and the ceiling. They did a super job. They went even to the point of hanging the curtain and telling why they were putting a cloth curtain there. They said because the rubber ones seem to go and touch and hold against you, and they shed the water. And even in putting the tub in, they asked then if they could send people to look at it so I already have all my neighbors to come and look.

    My experience with Independent Home was wonderful. I love it. I'm 76 and I live by myself, so it's just perfect for me. I wouldn't trade it off for anything. It was very expensive, and it was something I had to consider about buying because of the expense, but they did give me quite a bit of discount. They gave me a medical discount also, which was $2,000 off of it 'cause of my medical problems. Then they gave me other discounts that were available for me, and I used them too. They worked with me and they made it so that I could afford it. They started $23,000 and it moved down to quite a bit less than that. If people can afford it, they need to drop that money into that tub. They need to get one 'cause they don’t realize how safe they are.

    The sales rep was wonderful as well. He was here for a long time 'cause we got involved in other situations and we also talked about other things besides the tub. The installation crew was great, too. They asked if there was anything they could do and help me with in the house 'cause I had just moved in more than a year ago and I was still unpacking, and then I had things that I couldn’t do. They helped me move my stuff out on the driveway and then they put it back up for me. They also took me to Lowe’s 'cause I didn’t have a car. They made themselves feel like family.

    I've enjoyed my Independent Home tub quite well. The installers did an excellent job. My only problem is it's a little pricey. I got a friend, got the same thing for $4,000 less. I also don’t like the way they do their financing. I received a credit card, but it's not a credit card. It's only good for Independent Home and my payments are based off of that. And I don’t like that. They should've just set up an account and sent me a bill. But Independent Home seems to do what they say they’ll do.

    I was interested in a walk-in tub and there were several of them out there. I got to talk with this guy and he came out here and I liked what I heard. The process went really good. They were really polite and courteous in the service and then the ones who put it in were super good people. They cleaned up after that and took everything out like they were supposed to. The product was a little high, but I'm perfectly satisfied with their service. Independent Home seems like a good company.

    All of the other tubs that I looked at had an abundance of features. One unit even took a high electricity because it had two motors and all that cost money on features that I just didn’t need. Independent Home's tub had just the basic features and that was all I needed. I also chose them for the price and the company was very good when we made the purchase. We walked into the showroom and looked at the hertz. It was great. They explained everything and the service has been fantastic.

    Then a man came out and told me what they were going to do for the installation. They did just that. They put it in proper and looked around for all the little details. The space was utilized properly and they did really great. One of the brass fittings malfunctioned three days after they installed it and it leaked water. I’m in a tri-level home and the tub was in the top level on it. It leaked through the ceiling, down into the bottom bathroom and did a lot of damage there. I called them up and they came out that very afternoon and took care of it. They tore all the ceiling out, found the part that was malfunctioning and replaced it. It took a week to dry it out so that no mold would get in there. Then they came back, put the new ceiling in and painted. The workmen were marvelous. Independent Home stood by what they sold me and I really appreciated it. That shows me that I made the right choice.

    I love the walk-in tub. It's everything that Independent Home said it was. I got the celebrity model because it had all the features that I needed to relieve the soreness in the back of my spine. It was doctor ordered. It has been a god sent for me. I used to have one of those whirlpool thing that you put over the side of the tub and it didn’t work half as good as this one. Walk-in tub is definitely a very therapeutic for me. But I have to get a larger water tank because I only have a 40-gallon and it doesn’t quite fill up the walk-in tub. But other than that, it works fine and it’s beautiful.

    The sales agent was quite informative. He answered all my questions when I had them, and he didn’t try to side track me on anything. I was quite satisfied, and when the guys came in to put the tub in, they were professional and polite. At first I thought it was gonna be a big mess but they cleaned up after themselves and everything was handled very professionally. I would recommend Independent Home to anybody I know of that wants a walk-in tub.

    Purchasing the walk-in tub from Independent Home was easy and the installation team was nice. They didn’t get here until right at lunchtime so they had to come two days. It took them about nine hours. Walk-in tubs are expensive and I figured the other companies were too expensive. But anybody over the age of 70 should have one or try to get one.

    I have been hearing about Independent Home for years. I had been in touch with others and was not satisfied with the results I got. When the gentleman called and asked if someone could come out and talk to me, I thought that it would not cost me anything to talk. The guy who came out was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. I got the one that you could step into the tub and was more appropriate for my bathtub area and also my age.

    The installation of the tub went very well. They had to do a lot of sawing and whatnot to make it fit in the area that I had. It was not just a regular bathtub area. It had a half-wall on the forth side, so that created a bit of a problem for them. They had to do some fitting around the place that had a little window open at the top. But they constructed the parts for it just right. They also had to take the bathroom door off and it created a lot of dust. I did not think to close my bedroom door which was a foul up on my part. I have bamboo floors as well and you can’t use water on them, so I just asked them to leave and let me clean them. Nevertheless, I was very satisfied, and I would recommend them.

We have a shower in the garage and it wasn't convenient for her to go out in the garage all the time and take a shower so I decided it's time to get her a walk-in tub and replace that old bathtub that we had. The sales rep was very cooperative. The price was a little higher than I thought, but we needed it. I'm with USAA and I have my credit card with them and all my insurance. He was very familiar with USAA and explained it clearly on the phone so, when we picked this one it's charged on my credit card. That's unusual and he was helpful on that. His knowledge of the product seems to be quite well and he understood it. He also told me a lot of the stuff that I didn't know about, all the competitors and what have you.

    The installation went very well. The installer and his son did it in a day. They got here early and they stayed late but got it all wrapped up. They were very efficient and cleaned up. He showed me how to use the walk-in tub and I was very pleased with them. In fact, my neighbor told me if we do business with them to make sure to have him to come because he's excellent.

American Standard came two days later and they had a much better tub but it was $4000 or $5000 more money. The Independent salesman only showed me one model of the tub which was the one I got. A couple of guys came and worked all day and installed the tub. They made a mess and cleaned up 90% of it but they didn’t get all the dust. They were focused on their job.

    I did some research, went to different places, and read about Independent Home. I tried to find out what the prices were. Independent’s price and reputation were the factors that made me choose them. Also, they said they had a discount for vets. The salesman who came was very pleasant, very professional and thorough. Also, he made me feel at ease that I was making a good decision. He guided me in a nice way and I appreciated his help too. The rep recommended a tub model as I’m 6’ 2” and a good size. He also wanted to make sure the walk-in tub was big enough for my comfort and how it would fit in the house. He took a number of different factors and shared with me what he thought would work best for me.

    The installation team was very thorough and very tidy. I have an older house so there was a concern regarding the plumbing if it was up to standard. And they did not. The tub looks good in the house so I’m very pleased. The rep checked the size of my water tank but the only deal was that the people who lived before me must have had the tank turned down to its lowest temperature possible, and so my walk-in tub would not fill up with enough warm water. I had to go in and readjust the temperature deal on the hot water heater. Now, it works great for me with the amount of water I need to have in there.

    Also, I was surprised by how well the bubbling part works. I thought I had to have the jet streams too because that’s what hot tubs have. But I could’ve done without it because the bubbling is very forceful and very thorough with all the movement of the water. I’m turning 66 in a couple of days and I figured the walk-in tub will be one thing that’ll help me stay in my house a little longer. So it’s been a nice addition so far. If someone is ready to make a purchase, the people from Independent Home will work with you and make it happen for you. You won’t have second thoughts going through the process.

We just simply listened to what he had to say. I generally pray about everything before I buy it but I felt good and I had my husband purchased it. The price went up as you went up to other things too. This one has the aromatherapy dispenser and they gave me an extra grab bar and it has of course, the shower thing on it. They also extended the lifetime warranty to be transferable. The whole thing was smooth as it could be. We ordered it, they said it’ll be here in such a time, then they were here exactly that time. It took them a little bit longer because my husband changed their plan a bit but they were flexible.

    The installers were great. One man did most of it but of course, he couldn’t carry it in by himself and thank God, they got through my bathroom door. We had it widened when we remodelled so they got the whole thing through the door without making any holes in the walls. The man started putting it back against the wall and just at that time, my husband walked in. He said, “Wait a minute. What are you doing?” He said, “We’re installing it against the wall.” My husband said, “No. I want it out here where the old tub was” and so they manufactured an enclosure around the whole thing and put the tub where my husband wanted it.

    I have a great, little ledge beside the tub and it looks great. I sit in the tub almost every night. One of the things we like about it was the air. The jets are simply air. They’re not recycled and the water is not going through it. It’s only air. And then about 15 minutes after you get out, it blows air through all of them again for about a minute to keep the mechanism all dry and good. It’s very relaxing and I sit in it almost every night. While I’m sitting there with all the air jets going at the highest rate, I do my praying and my talking to God and I’m good.

In addition, our regular tub has a lever that goes down and locks it and it's becoming very difficult for my wife getting in and out of it. We got a walk-in tub from Independent Homes and their installers were first class. I was concerned about the installation process, but they were so careful with everything, knew exactly what they were doing and everything was smooth. They were as polite as they can be and very professional.

    I was interested in the process of putting the tub in so I was there. They’d go ripping our bathtub out and putting that big thing in and getting it upstairs. It was on our second floor. They reinforced the rafters up there before putting it. They also put in a new hot water heater boiler. Putting something that major up on the second floor, everything was smooth as silk. I couldn’t have asked for better people to work with and around.

    The tub is very nice and very expensive, too. It is very large and it has all the bells and whistles. It puts a little aroma stuff on the thing and it has all kinds of water pressure. I love the spa part. I can get in, fill that thing up and I’d crank the temperature up on our hot water heater. At our age and to continue to live in our house, we need something like that. Instead of getting in a regular bathtub, we can raise our step from bust to bust. This is a step in so, we walk through the door and sit down. We also got a big thing of Epsom salts up there. We dump that in, and it’s like going to a spa. I’ve recommended Independent Homes to other people. If you’re somebody my age, you need to get one.

    The installation team that came was friendly and very cooperative. They fixed things the way that I wanted them to; to remove my shower door and a couple of other things without damaging them so that I could donate them to the Harvey Recovery. And the team was very, very accomplished at the work that they do. They did an excellent job. The only thing is that they do not have wood doors to go indoors anymore. But I was hoping they could have gotten at least a wood-colored door, a natural wood color, because everything else in my house is natural wood. Also, they had to cut off my carpet at the bottom to put the white thing across the floor at the bottom. And they left it a little bit on the ragged side. It isn’t cut down good.

    I was charged with a downpayment, which was no problem. And then we arrived on the price, which was no problem either. But when they signed the credit, which was Synchrony Bank, I was a little bit concerned. A couple of days ago, I got my first statement.

But when he put that tub in there, I told him that I wanna be able to stand on it. When I got back in there, he was sitting on it. My wife has been in the tub and I've been in it once.

    The Independent Home rep came into my home and we talked. I’ve never had anybody else come in nor have I even ever looked into one before but I wanted to do something different to my bathroom and I just went along and decided to go for it. I have to get used to it though. The amount of room in it for showering seems smaller. However, it seems nice when you get in there and have the jets going. I hope that I am really happy with it in the future because I didn’t know whether to put that in or just a regular tub. On the other hand I have lower back and hip problems so I thought it might be very good for that.

    I had been thinking about getting something done to my bathtub and the installation experience I had with Independent Home was very pleasant. Their installers came a day early, which was nice for me. They called and asked to do it that day and they worked very hard and didn’t make a lunch break. They just worked until it was finished. The tub is in the guest room and it's mostly for a company who comes frequently and has a lot of problems with his legs.

    A representative from Independent Home called me and said they’d like to come and give me an estimate. He came to my house and looked at the area over and told me what they could do. He was very good, very nice and I like him. The installation team was a man and his son and they were very nice people too. They did a good, clean job. They also explained it all to me very well. The walk-in tub is fine and I love it, but the installer was supposed to put a cabinet in the bathroom so that it would all match out. I felt like the guy lied when he said he’d ordered that other part but they never came. I held it out and didn’t pay for it.

    So, I called and said the project wasn’t finished, the rep who I first spoke to got on it. But then the people weren’t nice so I thought I’m just gonna forget it. They said they were gonna really take care of it. Now, it’s been over five weeks. I'm done and even if they come, I’d tell them I don’t want it. That’s how ornery I feel. And I didn’t have a good experience with the head guy. He was kinda snotty on the phone. I wouldn’t call Independent Home for the third time. When I did the second time, whoever I talked to was very grouchy and crabby with me. If a friend wants the tub and not anything else, Independent Home is good because they had that done and left. I thought that they’d be back and finish the rest but that’s not the way it happened.

    My husband is disabled and I wanted something for him to use. Lowe's had some sheets about walk-in bathtubs and I took one home because they didn't have what I wanted there. I also considered the Standard brand but they added on a couple of thousand dollars and wouldn't give me the brass finish that I wanted. Then, Independent Home's rep said they could do it so I went with them. They also installed some shelves in the tub and I didn't need as many as they put in but it was fine that I have them. They put in the collapsible seat, too, plus they gave me really nice doors. Then I wanted all of that in a kind of brassy black color and they did it all. They edged it in a wood kind of edging, too, and it's really nice.

    When the installer was here, he was so polite and wonderful. I can't say enough about him. He told me he was gonna have to come back because he travels around from Arizona and goes to different places. And he was back within a week with the chair. Then, he mounted it to the tub and that was exactly what I wanted. He also told me that if I got a regular tub enclosure at Lowe's or at Home Depot, they'd only have one coating. But this one has three, so, I thought that's a good deal. I would tell my friends to go with Independent Home if they can afford the cost, which was a little bit pricey. But I went over and saw my neighbor's, and it's nothing like mine. He paid $3000 for his and I paid more, but I got what wanted.

    My husband saw Independent Home online and got a walk-in tub as we were sort of being proactive. We are getting older and we thought it would be a good thing to have. And for the hydrotherapy and aqua therapy, it is good for arthritis. We had Ed whom we consulted before we got the tub installed and he was wonderful and friendly. He was also very informative and he got us a good deal on it. He told us that if I get a prescription from the doctor, I don’t have to pay the sales tax because it would be a medical device. I have the prescription here, but I don’t really know what to do with it. I thought Ed was gonna come back to check on it. I’m just holding the prescription in the folder in case he needs it.

    We got the Light tub which is 30x52 in color white. So far, I like it and it fits me perfectly. I’m short and it does a really good job on my back. Although, it doesn’t do too much for your lower legs. The installation took three hours. It was very fast and very good and the installers were careful. I use the walk-in tub more than my husband does. My husband has one of those huge jacuzzis in the other bathroom. You can't pull him away from that one. For me, I'm very happy with this. It’s very easy to operate and easy to clean.

    There is one feature that the tub has which is the aromatherapy wherein you put little beads in. That is useless and I haven't smelled a thing when I put lavender beads in there. I like to take baths, so if someone likes to take baths, Independent tub is awesome. Some people just take showers and some of my neighbors were saying, “Oh, I can’t get in a bathtub. I only take showers.” It would be ideal for them, but a lot of people probably can’t afford it.

Their installation team had the tub in in one day and we had to wait a day because of the caulking to dry. Other than that, they were outstanding and I liked them. But the guy in Arizona and the salesman himself never called me back to check if the installation went okay.

    My house was built in 1967 and I had a tub with a shower. I was afraid to get back in it since I broke my ankle last June. Then, somebody came to my door about Independent Home's walk-in bathtubs. I hesitated because I didn't want to overextend myself since I'm retired. But they gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. The salesman was really nice, explained everything to me about the tub, and didn't try to pressure me into buying something that was more than what I needed.

    The installation team was also very good. They went above and beyond what was necessary. My bathroom door stuck a little, so they took it off then went and cut off a little bit of it at the bottom and fixed it for me, so it doesn't stick anymore. I have some loose tiles on the bathroom floor, too, and they fixed those for me. So, I was really impressed with them and the work they did. I was very pleased with my experience and I would highly recommend Independent Home to anyone who is considering getting a walk-in tub.

    Several years ago, Safe Step came by here and had a big truck that contained one of these walk-in tubs. I thought it was a fine thing then but I could not get it at the time. One day, I called and asked the price of several tubs but they seemed a little high to me. Then one day, a man from Independent Home knocked on the door and said he was sent by the walk-in tubs. He came in and gave me such a lovely breakdown talk about what this was like and what it had.

    He was so very thorough in what he said, so nice and pleasant, and obviously not trying just to sell me a piece of good. He gave me the best price I had seen and I made up my mind that I would save up my money and get one. The installation team was very good. They were nice and when they came in, I talked to them before they went up and showed them where my pipes went in the wall from a closet. They stood and listened to that and then I went downstairs while they put the tub in. They put it in in a short time and were neat in their job.

    I have enjoyed the tub very much but there are some things I would like to change a little bit. In all the time I’ve had it, I have not been able to get water as deep as my knees. Even when I get in there, start bathing and sit down on the seat for a while after I'm through, the water doesn’t come above my knees. I suppose if I stayed there another hour, it might fill up. There is also a hose that blows the out and it's pretty cold air. I don’t know whether they’re supposed to blow water out too. But I had a very bad fall in my shower with another room and I had to stop using that shower in my bedroom. The walk-in tub has been easier to get in and out of. They have some hot water too. It’s very nice.

    We had a phone call about walk-in bathtubs from the people that make it. Also, I had been looking at pictures of tubs and thinking about it. After the lady’s presentation, I told her I was ready to talk to her representative. So, Independent Home sent a nice young fellow here to talk to us about walk-in tubs. The rep and I had a great interaction! He did a follow-up after we installed the tub and he stayed here a couple of hours. We talked about all kinds of stuff and seemed like one of the family before he left. The tub I got has a 30 L air vent and a compressor. I fill it up with hot water and if I want a massage or hydrotherapy treatment, I push a little button on the side and the motor starts blowing air through everywhere. I really enjoy getting in the tub and it's like getting a massage all over.

    My wife and I have impaired blood flow in our limbs and the tub seems to be helping me. It's supposed to help the circulation in older people in the capillary veins. In fact, I'm going tomorrow to have Doppler run on mine. The installation team who came out was a great crew. The first crew who came brought the wrong tub as it wouldn't go through any of the doors. So, they had to wait a week and had another tub made, especially made to go through our bathroom doors. The guys that installed it were really nice, neat, and they did a great job installing it.

The only thing we didn’t like was that it was misrepresented a little bit because the reps who called us told us that the 40-gallon water heater would be plenty, but it wasn’t anywhere near that. Probably they don’t say that because if you knew you were gonna have to spend a lot more money putting a water heater in, then you probably wouldn’t buy the tub.

    Independent Home is predominantly made in the United States. I didn't have to worry about some other country when having problems like parts having to be bought. They'd have to go out and send out parts and stuff like that. I thought I can be bamboozled just like anyone else. But the salesperson was honest and he didn't have the typical sales pitch and try to force us into something that we didn't think about and didn't want.

    The biggest problem we had during the installation was that it took a day and a half because of the people that was sick and that can happen anytime. But the man who put it in when his helper was sick went ahead and did as much as he possibly could without having to wait for the guy the next day. So when the next day came they had it done in no time. So I was pleased with the installation.

    The overall product is good. We bought it basically for my husband who has a hard time getting in and out of bathtubs and was having difficulty getting in and out of the shower comfortably without a fear of falling. There was a safety issue that was involved and it was taken care of and we were pleased. They are reliable for one thing and they are on top of their product.

    Independent Home was giving good discounts if you are a veteran and they gave me an absolute lower price than anybody else in the market plus a lifetime warranty which was important. I took a chance since there wasn’t much of a difference in any of the companies that I spoke with on the quality of the product and I had no way of finding out through talking to other people who had had those tubs installed regardless of who installed them. The features are pretty much following a standard in the industry. I had about six manufacturers and they had people come into my home. There was not much difference in any of them and so, people should do as much homework as they can if there was an Independent source out there.

    I'm 6'1", 300 pounds and some of the tubs that they offered when I started looking at the different sizes would be a little uncomfortable for me. The tub that I have is a Supreme series and larger but I didn't see the difference in the cost as far as the features were concerned. The salesman did a good job of selling them but they’re overpriced and you don’t get the benefit that they claim you do with a tub. This walk-in tub phenomenon is oversold.

    The people who installed the tub came in and did it within a time period and they took care of everything. They were terrific and professional. It was outstanding and I had absolutely no complaints about the installation. But there has been no follow-up since then from Independent to ask if I was satisfied or not. I haven't had any contact other than when I called them with a couple of problems that I had and they told me they will send somebody out. Nobody ever showed up and they didn't even make a phone call. When the money is on a product, you're looking for a certain level of satisfaction and Independent has some good people and the installers were fantastic. But the fact that I haven't heard anything from them, it really detracts from my experience of the product.

During my purchase, the reps came and they told me all about the tub. I decided I wanted it and within a week, the dealer sent somebody to put it in for me. The installation team was really friendly. They kept busy and went about their business. It took longer than two hours for them to put the tub in because I live in the trailer. You have problems when you have to put one in the trailer, but they went ahead with it. I really like the quality of the tub and I like the jets and the fragrance thing that's on the side. I told my friends about my walk-in tub and they liked it.

    I wanted a walk-in tub. A salesman came out to talk to me about Independent Home and I liked what he showed me. Then, I made arrangements to have the tub done. However, they couldn’t get a pool-sized tub around the corner so they had to come back with a tub about 6 inches smaller. The installers were very professional and did a wonderful job. They came in the morning and by 5:00, they were finished. It was all done in one day including the water heater. My tub looks beautiful. They left it clean and nice. It was next to the toilet and I would sit and go in it to clean up. It was perfect. I use it mostly for the shower. The tub uses a lot of water so I use it once a week. I’ve had it for a couple of months and so far, I’m very satisfied with my experience.

    We were shown a couple of models by Independent Home and the walk-in bathtub that we got was more suitable for our needs. One individual told me that before we buy it from Independent, I needed a bigger water heater. Independent thought my water heater was big enough and I found out it's not. Once I fill the tub up, I have to wait until the next day or later before we run into more hot water because it takes the whole tank to fill it up and we were not aware of that. But the sales experience was good and the price was the main thing we went to Independent Home. The installers were great too.

    I thought it would be easier to bathe in a walk-in bathtub. A dealer for Independent Home explained everything to me but he only did it once and I had to try to remember everything. He left the paper to read though. But I have to get a much bigger water heater because the little 30-gallon water heater just covers the ankles. I was also told that I needed a 40-gallon instead of the 30-gallon water tank.

    The installation team was nice and polite, and it didn’t take them all day to do it so it was good. But I paid too much for the tub and that's bothering me. I wonder what their tubs usually sell for. It was also with a strange kind of bank that I had never heard of. I don't know if they're charging interest up on the overall cost. Overall, because of the cost of the thing, I wouldn't recommend Independent Home.

    My wife was looking for stuff on the internet. She filled up information on several different places and Independent Home was the first and only one that gave us a response. The salesman, Gary, was a good guy. He was very informative and very well spoken. He was giving facts to the questions that we had. We felt totally relaxed when we did the purchase. When we asked the time frame and what demolition will be involved, Gary was very thorough with his presentation.

    I used to be a contractor so I knew what the installation team was going to do. However, the only thing I was not satisfied with the contractor’s customer service is it was not so much light in etiquette. I showed up at a time and I should be out of their way at a time. I was aware that the installation should take no more than two days but they stayed until almost 11:00 that night to make sure they get it done then they just went away. It was a long time to have somebody in my home doing something like that even when it's necessary that it wore me out a little.

    We upgraded to a 50-gallon tank and the water gets chilly before I get the tub full enough to cover all the jets. I wouldn’t have that issue if Independent tub has an on-demand water heating source. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the service itself. I've had several injuries over my lifetime and now they never stop hurting. So, it’s very therapeutic to use the tub and I was not disappointed with my Independent tub purchase.

    We went to a seminar and one of the subjects was about walk-in bathtubs of a very small company that was local in the state of Washington. When they came here and bid the job, I was uncomfortable with them so I started looking around. I saw an ad of Independent Home in the Yellow Pages then I called them and they responded. They sent a salesman here and he talked about the value of the tub, how simple it would be to install, then gave me a price that I thought was acceptable at the time. The model that we chose was the smallest one that they had and it fit the place that it belonged.

    The installation went great but we have problems with the water heater. I told Jerry, their installer, that the water was not hot enough to fill up the tub. He showed me how to use the faucet so it would fill up but it doesn’t. The water tank is also barely sufficient so that we could set in a full tub. They changed the tank that was there but they were both 50-gallon tanks. They should’ve put in a bigger one. It was inadequate to use the jets or use it as a tub. We have to use it as a shower and it was not what we paid for. We want to know whether they will provide a tub and a tank that is satisfactory so that the jets could be used and we haven't heard from anybody since the last time Jerry was here and finished his installment. We're not happy with what we've got.

    I had to crawl out of my jacuzzi. I then started looking into walk-in bathtubs. I liked Independent Home’s salesman and his presentation, as well as their pricing. The salesman showed us a video, and he quoted me the price on one of the many different models. And then, I also had another company, Safe Step, and that guy made a presentation and gave me a price too. I told Independent Home’s salesman that I would call him and let him know by Thursday if we've made up our mind. And when I called him, I asked what he quoted me on my model, Select. I told him we were trying to make up our mind about which tub to get, and he gave me another price that was lower than the price that he had written down for me.

    The installation team was great. It was a husband and wife. They called prior to them getting here, and both of them went about their business. We were offering some lunch but they brought their own. They got the work done, but they left a pair of pliers, and we didn't find it until after they left. I called the office and said that if they'd give me the installers' name and address, I'd mail the pliers to them, and Independent Home said they would take care of it.

    I've been in the Independent Home walk-in for about three or four times now. This particular area of the house has got a 50-gallon water heater, and I run out of hot water filling the tub up. Other than that, we're happy. They gave me a warranty. They called me and said when the thing was going to be here and if I ever had any questions to call them. So, we're in good shape.

    After we moved, Independent Home was the first one I saw regarding walk-in tubs. A guy came out and we talked about the tub, then we debated where we were going to put it and about the size of the water heater that we had. We wanted the air stuff in it then we tossed around a few different models and went with the average model. Purchasing the tub was a cinch. After the guy came out and we decided what tub we wanted, I put a down payment on it then I paid the rest once it was installed and working fine.

    They had somebody change what day they wanted it installed and so they called and said they had an opening sooner than what they had scheduled. So they were able to come sooner than what was scheduled which was nice because we were moving into the home. We wanted all these stuff done before we brought all the furniture in.

    The installation team was great. There was one main guy and he had two apprentices with him. They did all the hard and dirty work. They took out the bathtub and switched all the plumbing around. It came all the way from the door through the living room and to the bathroom. They were here for three days and every night, when they were done, they picked up their cloth, got down on their hands and knees, and went around picking up any bit of trash that they saw. I've nothing but kudos for Independent Home. They were fast, efficient, very polite, and very nice. They didn’t mind my little puppy or anything running around getting in their way.

He was personable, explained everything well, and he didn’t pressure us. Even after the installation, he asked us if we had any problems or questions and that we could get a hold of him if we did.

    The guys that came and installed the tub were also good considering that the place where the tub would be located was not easy to get to. They had to carry some stuff across the yard and up the side of the hill. They could drive up there, but they didn't want to bring the truck up there on the grass. They explained everything a few times so that we understood it all, then they cleaned up all of their mess and we were happy. The walk-in bathtub went exactly in the same place as my dad's old bathtub. It has the jets in it and you can put the snowy stuff in there. It has worked out well for my dad.

I live in a mobile home and it seemed like he was automatically through talking to me. It made me feel like he didn't think I could afford it. Then I got a phone call from John who is from Independent Home. He said that he'd seen that I've been looking for bathtubs. I said, "Yeah. But too much money." So he said, "Let me come over and talk to you."

    He came in here, showed me the tub, and told me the price of it. I told them what I wanted to pay. He asked me if I was a veteran and I said that I'm a retired veteran. That gave me some points and then he asked me if I'm going to AARP, which also gave me some points and he brought it down to my price range. He was just straightforward about it and he told me how much he could sell it to me, installed and ready to go so we bought the tub.

    We bought a walk-in bathtub that has 30 something jets in it. It took three weeks before we could get it installed. The installer was a really nice guy. He took out my old tub and put in the new tub. I had a 40-gallon hot water heater and I told them that when I was buying the tub. They said they had a booster that would take care of the extra water I would need. They did that, but I didn't have enough hot water. I called the plumber back and told him about it. They came back and adjusted the booster.

    Another week goes by and I still don’t have enough hot water so I called the main office and they got a hold of their plumber. They put in a 50-gallon hot water heater in with the booster and took mine out but it still didn't work. Finally, they put my 40-gallon back in with their 50 and now we have plenty of hot water. They did everything on their own and never charged me a penny. It was good of them to fix the problem instead of just taking the tub.

    I selected Independent Homes tub because they had an installer who was a general contractor who said he was able to do my entire bathroom (tile, plumbing, etc), so I wouldn't need to coordinate with multiple contractors. And, I checked his references and was told he did great work. Well, he didn't. He was always 1-3 hours later than he said he'd be here every day. He brought in an "expert" tile guy, who it turned out had almost NO experience and he never checked on his work or supervised him. Much of his work had to be torn out and redone, delaying my project. In fact, parts of the floor tile needed to be redone 3 times!

    The trim around the window isn't done to my satisfaction. He didn't correctly install the vanity faucet, so I now have a plumber here re-doing that work and installing a new faucet that I didn't need before this project began. He lost my shower curtain and my outlet covers, so I had to spend more money replacing those items. When I used tub the 1st time, the drain closure didn't work, so the company had to send out a plumber to fix that. Tub seems OK now, but it took 3 weeks to get this project done due to their mistakes, untimeliness, and not having the products needed (making several trips to the store). Don't use Andrew for your installation/remodel.

He took his time, went over everything, made sure I understood everything, wrote the phone number down for me, and gave me everything that I needed to know. If I wasn’t satisfied, he said, “Before they put it in, try it out, make sure it’s what you want.” The couple that came and put the tub in was a man and a woman, and they never quit working. They didn't stop at anything, cleaned up, and swept up. She went in there and took a cleaning agent, and cleaned everything in the tub. It looked like they had the house cleaned up, and they took all the trash out and stacked it up.

    They did more than what you think. And then I got in the tub and sat down, and when I tried it on, instead of shooting the water out, it shot little air bubbles out. It was a different feeling. Talking about relaxing, it has 35 jets in it. I got the big size because I’m 65 and I weigh 300 pounds. And I had the installers go in and put the shower in where I could stand up and take a shower, then I left. The people who installed it really impressed me. And I said, “Well, do you want me to write you a check?” He said, “No. We got something here that you might be interested in. You can put a deposit down, and we can finance this if you want to.” I looked at both and she said, “So, what do you want to do?” I said, “Well, we need to get something going credit rating.” She said, “Well, just go ahead and finance.” So, I said, “I’d give you $500 right now if you want me to for a deposit.” And he said, “You don’t have to give that much. But if you want to give it, it’d be fine.”

    So, I gave them $500, and they financed it, a company called Synergy. They called and said that they were dropping my interest down to 3.6 and that brought my payments way down.

We're doing okay without it but it would be convenient sometimes to have it where I could get my head under it better while I shampoo my hair. Also, the tub floor needs more of those strips to make it less difficult to stand up. I had to put my washcloth down and my feet on it to be able to get out of the tub.

    We're getting very old, and we had to get a shower and the walk-in bathtub. Buying our Independent Home products went very smooth. The salesman who came to the house was a very aggressive type and seemed to have good answers to any questions. We just showed the installers where it should be put and they pretty much took over and they hardly asked any questions. And they left our home the way that they came into it and they didn't leave wrappings and cartons. Overall, the experience was very satisfying.

    Some young man came out and talked to me about Independent Home. He was from Mobile and an Auburn Graduate. He was very nice, very informative and knew all about the product. The installer who came was also very good, very accommodating and did really pretty work. I needed something to give me some balance and the walk-in tub solved the problem.

    Independent Home's walk-in tubs were a bit cheaper than some companies. I decided to buy from them a specific model that caught my eye. I wrote the man a check and hadn’t had any buying problem with it. The installation team got here by 8:00 that morning and left at 6:00. They did a very good job of putting it here. I like the idea and wanted that type of tub. It was easy to get in and out of it. I don't have to climb up over the side to get in there.

    I recently had to be in the hospital quite a bit and so I needed a tub that I could get into fairly easy because what I had wasn’t one I could get into. The Independent Home installers came and did a good job of putting it in. They did what they had to do, did it all in one day, and got out.

    I got a walk-in tub with air jets from Independent Home. It’s fine and I like the guarantee. The agent was a really nice, truthful guy, and I believed him. The installation team was great. They did a tremendous job and went above and beyond the call of duty. My front door handle was off and they hit it down so they fixed it, and we could get in there now. I also had my flooring in there and they laid that down for me too.

    I've been looking for a walk-in tub, and Independent Home came up with a salesperson who talked me into it. They came up with the best price, too. The installers were quick and did the installation in one day, and they were pretty good at what they did. But the tub doesn't have the same kind of jets that I thought I was going to get. They work fine, but they just pump air instead of water.
