    I got a 96-year-old father that lives with me here and I thought this is the time to put in a walk-in tub if he’s going to be able to stay here longer. We had the Independent Home salesman come out. We thought we were given a good deal for the situation that we’re in financially, so that’s who we went with. The salesman was detailed and got his point across. Within a week or so, they had two installers here. They put it together and they’re very courteous. However, the hot water is a little loose. We just have to be careful with it. I actually used it a couple of times. But that’s the only thing we’re watching and everything else seems to be fine. I would recommend Independent Home.

    We purchased a tub about 2 weeks ago and could not be more pleased. The tub is everything we had hoped for and more. The installers (Jerry and his 2 sons) completed the installation in one day and were so professional and helpful. They explained everything perfectly and even left a phone number if we needed anything or had any questions. We are VERY satisfied. Thank you!

    After agreeing to purchase, my install was a nightmare! They ripped apart my door frame, dented my walls and baseboard and totally screwed up existing tile and didn't even clean up the floor. After complaining to the salesperson (Ari) he sent someone back to do repairs, however I had to replace all the tile because there was no way to repair it! Almost a year later the tub started leaking!

    Spoke with Holly in 7/28/17. Over 3 months later I am still waiting for someone to come out and repair it! Had appt. 10/14/17 between 9 AM and 10 AM. At 10:20 I called (John) the repair guy who said he ran into traffic and is about 50 minute away! I told him I couldn't wait any longer and his response was - "I thought you said you would be home all day!!!" If I wasn't stuck with this tub, I would never buy from this company! DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! Glad I saved the pictures from the install so you can see for yourself!

    We moved into our house and my mother wants to stay downstairs. Her bathroom was old and we were going to re-do it. My husband said that we'd look at the walk-in bathtubs. I did a quick search and started looking. We talked with Independent Home reps. They were wonderful and did an amazing job. They were also local to the area and I like dealing with those companies. If there are problems, I can call them back and they'll fix it the next day. The guy who came out was super nice and he lived not far from us. Also, the installers were amazing.

    The tub is a really good product and it fits in the space nicely with everything we wanted. It also has a good warranty which is good for five years. They were telling me about a lady who called at Thanksgiving whose daughter dropped a razor down it by accident and they came out that evening and fixed it. Overall, we've had a really good experience with Independent Home. I am extremely happy with how everything went and I have recommended them to a friend.

    I had a new knee and got to walk with a cane. We have a big garden bathtub and one day I couldn’t get out of it. My wife has arthritis in her back so bad and she thought she had to get the neighbors to help her get me out again. That bathtub was worthless for us. The first company that came here to sell us a tub was priced at $17,800 and the next was $17,000, but we got the Independent Home walk-in tub at $10,800. That’s a big difference and I’m not a millionaire to put one in at $17,000. The purchasing experience with Independent Home was not at all hard, but we didn’t have money to throw at them and had to make up something.

    The salesman did a super job and he finished the floor up for me. We had two big mirrors in our bathroom and I didn’t think they will put them up again but they did and it looks beautiful. We also had a shower beside our old tub in the same room so we took the bathtub out and they put in the walk-in tub and got twice as much room now. It’s so much better. They even hooked all the electric wiring in the basement for us and hooked all the plumbing back up. They came on a Sunday afternoon and tore the old tub out in pieces and I left it by the driveway. I thought it would stay there but when they were done, they loaded it up and hauled it away.

    The second one that came to sell us a tub said that they are going into our bedroom and they have to tear a wall out and cut from the wall and they have to buy a new door. But with Independent Home, we took the door jamb off, put it all back in shape and hung the door and I didn’t have to buy a new one. Everything was cleaned and they fixed it all for us. Overall, it was perfect. Everything is covered for life and I never got to pay service calls. I’m well satisfied.

    We're getting up in advanced years and because of health reasons, it's more difficult for us to take an ordinary sit-down bath. After getting some mail from different companies that have the walk-in bathtub, we chose to go with Independent Home. Buying a bathtub from them was an easy process. They called and we chose a convenient time for the representative to come. 15 minutes before the representative arrived, he called and said he was on his way. He was here on time and was very courteous. He made his presentation then we sat down to discuss the price and it was very reasonable.

    One of the main things on our decision, we had another company out, and they had made their presentation. But at the end of their presentation, they informed me that I was going to have to install a 50-gallon water heater. And when I asked this man about it, he said we won't have to install a bigger water heater. So he measured and said that the bathtub will go right through the door. It was a very easy installation as far as bringing it in the house, down the hall and right into the bathroom. The installation team was very courteous and well-prepared. They came in and assessed the situation as what they would have to do. They went back to the truck and got the necessary floor coverings and put them down. We had a real nice visit and they did a great job from start to finish.

    My mother-in-law is 86 and she’s frail and not a bath-taker. She’s a shower-taker but she got a little concerned and was always afraid of losing her balance in the shower, so I got the walk-in tub for her but can't get her in it. I always had a jacuzzi for 12 years and I loved it, until I moved to Clovis, New Mexico. I miss my jacuzzi but the walk-in tub is just as good and I’m tickled pink with it. My husband uses it too and he doesn’t even need it. I feel stupid because I didn't get it 10 years ago and only needed it two years ago.

    Also, the salesman that I met from Independent Home came in fully prepared, had a lot of information and was very personable. We chose Independent Home because of him. We actually had a lot in common because we're about the same age and we're dealing with a mother who was elderly and we talked about that. He was wonderful and I liked everything about him. I don't know how much they pay him but he was worth every penny.

    Plus, the guys who came to put it in, Sheldon, and Doug, and Matt, were in and out so fast. I expected them to be here all-day long or 8 hours a day at least, but they were in and out for about 5 hours and I hardly knew they were there. They did a wonderful job. They were a good crew and they knew exactly what they were doing. It's a big tub and I got a long hallway but they didn't bump anything or mark up any other walls. I always thought the hallway was narrow but they did a great job.

    I’ve been hearing about walk-in bathtubs for years and I have some friends who had one. I’ve taken a bath in it too. I’m 92 years old and it’s easy for me to step in and step out in an Independent Home tub. With other tubs, you have to put your feet up and you don’t have something to hold on to, so it’s dangerous for older people. I called the dealer and someone came out to measure the place. He was nice. The installer was all right too. He showed me how the tub works and gave me a book with information to read.

    I was satisfied with Independent Home except when you’re not a customer using the tub. After I used it one time, air came out of the holes. I was surprised, but they told me that was needed. It happens because they dry the tub out so it won’t have molds in it. The guys from Independent Home were all professional, nice, and courteous to me. They couldn’t have done any better.

I've been getting literature in the mail about walk-in bathtubs, mainly from Independent Home, and I showed this to my daughter. My daughter said, "Mother, you can afford it. Get it." So, I got a walk-in bathtub from Independent Home and I love it. I got it for health reasons and, with my handicap, to make it easy for me to get into the tub. Purchasing the tub was very easy.

    My mother could not get in and out of her garden tub anymore without potentially falling, so we got the Independent Home Supreme walk-in tub that has the shower feature and 32 jets. She can do whatever she wants to do with it. She can step in, close the door, have a seat, and take a bath or a shower. It was easy to purchase the tub from an Independent Home dealer. The reps were very knowledgeable and explained all the details concerning the tub, including its functions and how to take care of it. I could have gotten the same type of tub from another company. But when I told the rep that I was willing to pay $6,000 as an initial payment, he knocked $3,000 off the price of the tub, and that’s when I decided to go with Independent Home.

    Another deciding factor in our purchasing from Independent Home was that they could be there in a couple of days to install, whereas I would've had to wait about three weeks with another company. The installers were courteous and trustworthy, and they did a good job. Overall, we had a very good experience with Independent Home. They've been professional, polite, concerned about our needs, and knowledgeable about the product and the needs of a person that required a walk-in tub.

    I've seen walk-in tubs back in magazines for years. But at that time, my wife and I had good knees and hips. It was something that would be nice to have, but I don't need it. It got where both of us are having difficulties with joints. I decided to get one. Independent Home’s salesman came in and we’d bat the breeze. He was a likeable guy. The other outfit was American Standard and their salesman was the gnarliest and nastiest guy in the world. If we didn't go along with his feel, he would give dirty looks and acts upset. We knew we wanted the tub but Independent Home’s salesman made the difference. In terms of my dealing with the installation team, it was great. There were two guys who showed up. The door jammed to the casing around the door and they put all that back. They cleaned up and were courteous. They were very professional and did it in a very short period of time.

    My wife uses it all the time but I don’t think I need it yet, although it does have a shower. But I sat at it one time and it felt good. She gets leg cramps, and sometimes she has to get up in the night. She will go sit in that tub, do its thing and she says it helps her. It’s great. It looks like a little higher quality chrome, doesn’t have any leaks in the bottom and no junk falling off. I weigh 300 pounds and when I step on it, I don't feel it sag where I stand. It feels like it's pretty well-built. My wife is pleased with it, and when she does, it means my life gets a lot better. I had a good experience and I would recommend it.

    I had about five guys over here representing most of the major walk-in bathtub companies and I decided on Independent Home mainly because of the cost. Mike was really a super salesman and he was very good. He knew all the answers and he knew how to play the game. Afterwards, two guys came from California and they did a very nice job installing the tub. However, the main reason I started to look at walk-in tubs was the therapeutic value.

    I had looked online for walk-in bathtubs and someone from Independent Home called me. It sounded good but I knew they're expensive. I called the number and made an appointment. They sent someone out and he was really nice. He told me about their products and how much they were. Independent Home's people were so good, polite and got the work done quickly. The two who came to install the bathtub were also just super and I was pleased all the way around.

    I bought the it for my husband who has dementia and Alzheimer’s. I had trouble getting him in the shower. It seems like he doesn't want to get in the bathtub either, but I sent him in there a couple of times. I heard from others that they have the same type of problem that I've been in. At first I checked the bathtub out before I put him in there. I had shampoo but I forgot my soap. I started to get out and realized I couldn't. Then I wondered if the door is also locked when it's full of water because I don’t want him opening it and flooding then I have to watch him. So I need to call them because I don’t know. But I enjoy getting in there and sitting down. The bathtub is really good and I'm happy with it so I wanted other people to know about it.

    The Independent Home sales representative was great but I was so disappointed that he didn’t wait. It’s hard to get in and out of the walk-in tub. When I sit down, I have a hard time getting up because I have a bad shoulder and my left arm is not up to par but that’s the arm I have to pull up with, and there's nothing to pull up with on the right. They also sent me a cushion but it wouldn’t quite fit, so we put towels on top of it. But still it’s a problem having all those wet towels and the seat seems a little bit low for me. I wish that I went with a full-size shower the size of a tub and then put in there my own chair that I can take in and out.

    Called about a walk-in tub for my mom as she was no longer able to get over the ledge of a normal tub. A representative came and talked about the kind of tubs and the work involved with installation and said that he would be able to do everything I needed to make sure it's handicap accessible. So we signed the contract and paid the deposit. We were informed that the tub we went with was on back order so we had to change colors or wait for the color we wanted. We told the representative to go with a plain white so we wouldn't have to wait. Contract said work would begin in 14-21 days, didn't actually begin until day 26. The tile we paid extra for was apparently wasn't a option anymore so we had to change to a random generic tile in stock at the local store, we didn't get a refund of the extra paid for the nice tile.

    Was in contract that a access door framed nicely in the adjacent room would be installed in case for any reason we needed to get to the tub's water sources, wasn't done. Just a hole cut into the wall with a piece of tin over it. A 2 to 3-day project turned into a 6-day project. Had to ask for the representative to leave the premises to stop the screaming, profanity, and vulgarity he was showing towards his construction employees. As we live in a community with children this was entirely not acceptable.

    In the end was charged $1500 more than a competing estimate he guaranteed to match, and we didn't get all the work promised at contract signing, just paid and got him out of the area to avoid any further issues with the neighbors he would of caused. If you are looking for a walk-in tub I would suggest a different company than Independent Home.

    I was thinking of my wife having any problem and she might break her hip. We're not getting any younger so I decided that we had to have a walk-in tub right now. Purchasing a tub from the Independent Home dealer was very fast, clean, and the installation was very rapid too. The only thing that was questionable was why we were given a door. When they brought it in, they said I'd have to pay it myself. I didn’t quite see that because they knew that this was a problem that they would have to install the door because of the width of the opening. I expected that they should be taking care of this. I was a little disappointed on that aspect because when they brought it in, I supplied the doorknob and the paint and I should never have had to do that.

    The tub we have fits what we had in mind. It has everything in it. It's very nice, but we still have to call them for one more thing to make an adjustment. It's a rubberized gasket and there's something that had to stick to the material so that the door doesn't make a mark on the metal or the metal make a dark mark on the door.

    Independent Home had a tub dimension I wanted. It's the smallest one they make. We had a huge 80-gallon bathtub. We never used it since it was hard to get in and out of and it created water shortage when you fill it. I wanted to get rid of that. I ended up with the jacuzzi. The walk-in tub was a secondary thing. My wife has some arthritis in her back and didn't like leaning over to put her makeup on and I wanted to create a space to put a sit-down counter for her to put her makeup on. So, I wanted to have a minimum sized walk-in tub.

    The tub worked fine and they did an excellent job installation-wise. When we took the tub out, a marble wall panel was created to put around it. It looks excellent. I purchased it directly from Independent Home. I called the factory, made sure they could put the sides and ends on it to accommodate the way I wanted to turn it. I worked directly with the factory.

    I've been hearing about walk-in bathtubs for years and for me, they were old people bathtubs. I ended up having several back surgeries, a knee and neck surgery. Both my rotator cuffs are shot and I'm getting ready to have those repaired. We have two bathtubs and I kept falling. So, I told my hubby, “I don’t care what it costs. We’re getting one. I am so tired of falling.” I had to get myself one of those “Help! I've fallen I can’t get up” things and put that by the bathroom. I started doing some research with the different companies and Independent Home is the most economical with a good warranty and that’s where we went. My mom and dad who live in Tacoma also purchased a tub. They paid $18,000. When they found out how much I paid for mine, they were livid because they tore up their bathroom floor.

    We had a couple of different problems. I’m not going to say that we don’t because we’re human and we caught them and got them corrected by Independent Home. They worked, bent over backwards and helped whichever way that they could and so the problems were taken care of. The tub is working fine. I’m not tripping anymore. We got us a brand new hot water tank with our tub. My folks got a toilet.

    One major problem that we caught was they were installing the wrong tub. They didn’t check their paperwork and they had gone to lunch and hubby and I went in and I said, “We’re supposed to have 30 jets. These only have 20. And we’re supposed to have a light kit.” So I called the company because I didn’t have the workers’ phone number. They immediately got back and the guys came in and said, “We are just so sorry.” But they were the ones who had to be sorry because they came in on a Saturday morning at 9:00. They left Saturday night at 10:00. They came back Sunday morning at 9:00 and they left Sunday afternoon at 4:00.

    Independent Home's prices and the salesperson who called us were really good and the product seemed to suit our needs. The people we dealt with explained everything. We had a strange bathroom and they still were able to get it in. It was really hard working in the bathroom and the installers had knocked our toilet paper holder off but fixed it.

    I'm 72 and my son who is 52. Both of us are getting older and he has trouble getting in and out stepping over the bath tub that we had. So we had been looking at the hot tubs and decided it'd be better to go with a walk-in tub. Besides that, it's all just one person in it. At first, we saw an ad for the same company that had a $1500 and $2000 rebate. But we didn't know about that and that's the time that we went ahead and purchased the air jets. The process with the home dealer was pretty easy because when we decided we were going to get it, we went ahead and went straight to the bank, withdrew the money out and paid him for it.

    The installers, a guy and his daughter, were very nice, courteous and answered all my questions at that time. He said that he had one in his home and that they enjoyed it just as much without the water jets. It worked better as far as the massage and making you feel better. Especially on people that have older skin. I was satisfied with the experience when we bought it. But my son is complaining about the handles being loose and the tub dripping a little bit. I need to get that fixed. But when I called the guy who installed it, he didn't call back so I'm a little dissatisfied with that.

    We got a call from Independent Home and in fact, they even came out. They talked to us about the walk-in tubs and showed us what they had. I had heard about it before and after talking to them, we went ahead and took it. Then we gave them a time to put it in and the installation team went upstairs, put it in, did a good job and left. The experience had been easy. The tub is 5-inch depth in, with double door seal built-in and has a safety grab bar. I enjoy it and I have no complaints.

    The purchasing process was very easy. I checked out three different ones and Independent Home was more of what I wanted. I got the taller 47-inch tub to get higher up on my back and I chose that tub because of injury and health reasons. But, the jets aren't as high up as I wanted them. The team that installed the tub has been good, courteous and were able to answer my questions. However, on an older pier-and-beam home with a high tub, they need to look more at the floor because the tub's a lot of weight. If I had done it again, I'd have extra beam pairs underneath the house because of the amount of water that goes in the tub and the amount of weight that goes. It does put a lot of stress in it and it somewhat sinks down a little bit.

    But the product itself is pretty good. Although, the tub only has four feet that go down on the floor and you got several hundred pounds of weight. You got over 800 pounds per 100 gallons or sometimes you'll use 200 gallons of water. So, you've got 1600 pounds on four little legs that go down so there needs to be more reinforcement underneath. Other than that, they were easy to get along with. I'd recommend Independent, but the tub they install needs more support.

    Independent Home had a beautiful installation. Their installation team was very good. I feel, though, that I wasn't ready for it. I shouldn't have invested in it. My own shower had a lower threshold than this tub does, and it was easy just to step in and out. My own shower was roomier and I could maneuver better. I get into a fight with the shower curtain every day but it functions well. It's a wonderful product as far as using it for a tub but water is so expensive here in Verde Village. As a matter of fact, after I got the unit, I discovered that my hot water heater was inadequate. So I had to spend an additional amount of money in getting a new hot water heater.

    I use it every day as a shower. However, I don't have time anymore to sit and enjoy the tub for a while. I've only filled it once since I've had it. Nonetheless, I would recommend to anybody that wants that kind of installation but the first thing that a person ought to do is to know how many gallons it takes to fill it and if they have a rapid recovery hot water tank that has the capacity to fill the tub. Because on my end, there were still four inches to go to the top of the jet and my hot water was already gone. People should at least check if they would need to get a new hot water tank.

However, there was trouble with its arrival. Nobody notified me that it was scheduled for pick-up and it sat around for almost a week waiting for me to go pick it up. What happened was they sent it to my contractor instead of sending it to me. But he didn't see it and I had to do a little work to figure out where it was and how we could pick it up. Then I had my own people install the tub. I like it but it uses hot water like crazy. And if I want to fill the tub, it empties the entire tank. I'll need a 30 or 40-gallon tank.

    It was great with Independent Home all the way through. We went with them for our tub because I like the way that the sales was presented and gave me a lot of information. Getting the tub was something that we had thought about, but the sales rep had all the information available and facts about the other companies that was good as far as getting somebody else in for a second or third opinion. We talked about the model that would work for us, and it was everything that I had expected. Our tub's got the shower attachment, which is great. It also has the air bubbler, which works wonderfully. So, it was everything that I've wanted in a tub and I couldn't ask for anything more.

    It was all good with the installation team. We were able to do the preset in our garage. It was a cold, nasty winter day when they were here, so that worked out great.

He came, explained to us all the pros and cons of this walk-in tub and that because of the jets, it was supposed to be good for us, health-wise. My husband decided that that would be okay, so we bought it and had it installed on the same week in one day. It was really fast and they did a fabulous job of installing it. It was a lot of work and they got it done and it looks great.

    My only complaint so far is that the jets are small and they churn up the tub. All that is good but they blow air. I was under the impression that all of them blew out the warm water that fills up your tub but this one just blows air. I thought they were all the same but we never did really get into that because I didn't know that they were different. It is a 5-inch step but it really didn't make much difference. Some of them are a little bit lower but I don't have a problem with that. I just have to be careful of getting in and out and hold on to something. They install grab bars at the right place and so far, it's been really great.

I got everything that I possibly could, except for the jets, the heated seat, and something else that they don't do, but it was great. I wanted a tub that had the door opening in, and this model looked nice and fit my spot perfectly. They said it would and it did. Furthermore, it offered the extra benefit of having a shower and/or tub. A lot of companies don't offer both, and you have to add on, so this was perfect for me.

We really appreciated the personal efforts made by Ari (a managing owner of Independent Home) who informed us about every aspect of installing one of their Walk-Ins. Ari also arranged for an excellent plumber/electrician (Tony) to begin the installation of our tub only a few days after the contract was finalized. And Tony did an exceptional job.

    We had to get a walk-in tub because my dad had been in a bad car accident. I wanted him to have a tub, trying to make it easy for him when he got home. My other half was online and the company that she contacted was Safe Step. They were supposed to call us back. Then this person calls us and it turns out it's not even the same company. I met with the salesman, thinking that he's from Safe Step. He showed us photos of their products with the latest and greatest features. I'm just accepting him for his word. Then I had to go back up and get the okay from my father which I did. So I called them and they went ahead put the tub together and arrange for an installation. When it shows up it doesn't look like the one what the salesman showed me. It has these little 18 holes in it and there is an air pump. So for $10,000 I got a bath tub that blows a few bubbles.

    I called and I talked to them and the guy told me that this was the latest 2017 model. So I took his word for it and went ahead and let them install it. The guy told me I can't run it, and use it for 48 hours. That gives them plenty of time to get out of town. There was a little smudge on the floor and the guy said that it'll come out and told me not to use any abrasive cleaners. It turns out that it was flawed on the get go and it never got cleaned before they applied the gel coat on the fiberglass.

    The first time I used it I felt violated. If you lean back against it, it blows water out of the tub and onto the floor. It didn't do what they said it would do. I could blow more bubbles through a straw. The guy even told me it was quiet but its not. I went online and I started really looking and what we were getting for the money was nothing. I wouldn't pay $1,500 for this tub, it's that bad. At one point I was even willing to pay 500 bucks for the installation and just let them come and get their tub as it is starting to be more of a hassle. When we took it back out, we found out that it wasn't even installed right.

    I should have known that they were not from Safe Step when the guy said that this is not the one with the heated seat because that was one of the things that Safe Step advertises. There was a big mix up and I couldn't get these guys to call me back. I even had Discover after I finally talked to a guy. I just let him and Discover go back and forth. Discover tried to get a three way call going between all of this but we can't get a hold of anybody. I don't know how to deal with them and hopefully they just come and pick up their tub and the money has already been credited back to us. So far and I haven't seen any other pending. I guess Discover found it on our favor. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.

    We are so pleased with the installation, service, and product that we received from Independent Home. Ari and his people were amazing. I love my new tub. I'm handicap and it was close to impossible for me to get in and out of a tub, but now with my new tub I'm in heaven. Ari came to my home gave me the best price ever. I had 4 other companies and their prices knock me out of my wheelchair. I found Ari & Independent Home off the web and his prices blew every other company out of the park. He was kind, funny and most important he meet every one of my needs.

    His installer Tony omg he's the greatest. He explained everything he was doing, put drop cloths everywhere and cleaned up so well that you never knew he was working in my home. My dad was a contractor and in my eyes no one could come close, to his work, it was never good enough. I can honestly say & trust me I compare everyone's work to my dad's. Ari, Tony, & Independent Home left me speechless. I'm so happy, thank you so very much for all you done for me. You guys are the greatest!!!

    We've been looking at walk-in bathtubs and were thinking about it for years. Our new walk-in tub is alright.The Independent Home team brought a left-handed model and what we needed was a right-handed one. So they went back and got one, brought it back and installed it quickly. The installers were good and they did a nice job. The biggest dissatisfaction is the water heater problem. We don't have a big enough hot water heater so we're wrestling with the decision on what to do about hot water. We weren't alerted to that problem at all. So I'm a little disappointed in that.

    We’re very happy with the product of Independent Home. But the gentleman that installed it left a few things undone that had I not caught, could have possibly caused water damage to our floor under the unit. I had to do a lot of extra caulking because without a shower curtain around the tub when it bubbles, the water would have gone over the top and right down the back by where it was installed into the windowsill where there was a half-inch gap all the way across it. The installer was amenable. He and his son were kind, happy, and generous. They did what they needed to do but I don’t know if it was a time constraint or they just missed it. But that was the only complaint that I had about the whole thing. The rest of the stuff they did was excellent.

    Out of all the tubs I researched, Independent Home seemed to be the only logical one to go with because their parts are made right here in the United States. So I figured that if we had a problem, we could get it taken care of a lot faster. It'd probably be a better deal. And when I talked to them, they were all very nice. The man that came to our house explained it all to us. We thought he was great and he did a good job. They also got us a finance plan that agreed with what we needed. We're enjoying the tub so far. I've had people who asked me about the tub because I put it on Facebook and I've recommended Independent Home.

    We initially wanted to go to Costco and buy a tub, and then get somebody to install it. But Steve said he would do all of that. We also wondered about the warranty for the tub, and he went to Brian who told us that it's a lifetime one so we felt comfortable getting the tub from Independent Home. They also worked with us on the price. My mother got the one with the double motor and the threshold was four inches and she liked it. Installation took a little longer than we had anticipated but he got it in and was done by the time Sabbath came around, which was important to us.

    I like my Independent Home tub. I've seen walk-in tubs advertised before but then a fellow came by at the right time advertising them as I had been thinking about getting one. He showed me pictures and that’s how I got to talking to him about it. I had a garden tub before and I have problems with my legs, so it’s very neat where I don’t have to climb over a big tub. I went with Independent Home mainly for the cost and time and got a model that works well for my manufactured home. Purchasing the tub was an easy process and the installation people were really nice. The only thing is that it takes a lot of water and I run out of hot water. My youngest son has moved in with his family so I have extra ones and we have to really be careful with the hot water. Still, it saves some of the water since it’s easier for me to get in there and take a quick shower with it. I don't know where I can get more of the bottles of oil to put in there though.

The tub I got seemed to suit our purposes and it works fine, but the installation could have been done more professionally on the back wall. The finishing on the back board looked very unprofessional and cheap. The tub is very good and I'm happy with it, but I'm unhappy with the installation and I'm going to have it done again. I spoke to the main office in Long Island, then they got me in touch with the area supervisor and the installer called me back.

    We got an Independent Home tub for the price and put in a new hot water heater at the same time because they wanted to make sure we were gonna be able to fill the tub. However, we have to wait 10 to 15 minutes about three times in order to actually fill the tub and be able to use the jets. We also received the shower curtain rod, but never received the shower curtain. The guy who installed it told me that there was a modulator that needed to be put on it yet and said when we got it, to call and let him know and he’d come and put it in. But we’ve never gotten it. Plus, he told us we’d receive paperwork from GE Financial and we’ve never gotten that either.

    I took the face plates off of the hot water heater trying to find the thermostat or the dial on it to turn it up, but there was insulation underneath and I didn’t want to move that out a lot. I figured that when he comes back to install the modulator, we could ask him to turn the temperature up a little bit. Actually, we didn’t really have a clue at that point in time that we weren’t gonna have sufficient water to fill it. I would recommend them if we can get these things rectified.

    Somebody called me from Independent Home's office and that was the first time I had somebody out here to talk to me about walk-in bathtubs. My purchasing experience with them was easy and their installation team were very good. I had a fairly small area so I didn’t think they could get a tub in there. So, I had lost a part of an entryway closet but they explained that to me before they tore into it, and made sure I understood and it was okay.

    When the sales rep was here, I told him I have a bad leg and I didn’t think I could get in a tub and get the door closed so I needed one that opened out. I also mentioned that to the installers and so before they started on it, they took the tub off the truck, unpacked it, and set it right there in my garage where I could see if I could get in and close the door in, which I could. It would’ve been awful to get that installed and I won't be able to get in there and close that door. They made sure that I could do that and they were really good. The first time I got in there, my foot would slip and I couldn’t get up. What my daughter did was she threw a towel in there so my foot would hit that towel and I'd be able to get up. But I needed to get up on my own without somebody having to be there so the 'slippy' things that my daughter stuck on the bottom of the tub have worked and I can get up fine.

    Furthermore, there’s no place to put the soap and the shampoo that’s convenient. On top of my bad leg, I have COPD so, a lot of reaching and different things makes it hard for me to breathe because I’m on oxygen a lot. I'd have to twist to get the shampoo and conditioner from where I can set it and reach to where I could set the soap. My daughter got a thing that was supposed to hang on rough walls, but it wouldn’t even try to hang on. It would've been better if there was something like a basket wire that would hold shampoos and soaps on the wall that they could put when they’re installing it that didn’t stick out too far. Other than that, my experience has been good.

It would’ve fit because we measured but, bottom line, my dad loved the tub and so we decided we’re not gonna rock the boat at this point.

    I've told my daughter I was thinking about getting a walk-in tub. Independent Home had certain types of credits off of the amount and it was quite a large amount. When they came in the neighborhood, their salesperson shared information that there were different programs that can be costly. But he wasn't high-pressure or threatening. Other plumbers would put things in, add these other parts that need to be completed and a carpenter would come and do repairs or put everything else together again, but they said they would do all of the work including putting everything together, so I got a deal with that. I was very pleased with the presentation.

    The way the young installer and his crew got the tub together was unbelievable. Installation was lengthy because I have an older house and he had to go to a depot store to get some other material, but he did it so well and it was done smoothly. They also have knowledge of the pipes. And because I have old pipes, I had some of it put in. I was highly impressed with the plumbing and getting it together, cleaning it and making it look so beautiful. I'm glad I got an Independent Home tub. When I take a bath with a regular tub, I run the water and then get in it. But this way, I sit and wait to get the water to come to me which gives me a moment to relax and wait for it to happen.

    Independent Home walk-in tub is very sturdy and I've seen how it's made. They also have local crews, or at least a travelling crew, that was very good. In addition, the price was competitive. The salesman came and I asked him a lot of questions because I had researched it a bit but he had an answer for everything. The only thing that was unnecessary was he pushed pretty hard to have a glass sliding above the tub. That didn’t make a lot of sense because the sooner you’d have to slide one down in order to get in and slide it again, it's an extra expense that's not worth it. The flexible screen or curtain rod type deal is as good as anything that’s very good. But outside of that, he knew his job, very personable and a good guy.

    The installation team was out of this world - they installed it in a day. They took out the shower which means dismantling it and breaking it up to get it out. I built homes and I thought they were right on top of it and did a wonderful work. I enjoy the tub and it helps my back. On the other hand, I don’t think I’d do it again for the amount of money that we put into it. When we use it as a Jacuzzi, it’s great but when we use it as a shower, it’s just a shower.

    We’re very happy with our Independent Home tub. Their rep was very professional and showed us everything. We liked it and went with it. He represented their product very well and very convincingly. Being an ex-salesman myself, I was impressed, so he deserves a lot of kudos. The installation people were also very nice, helpful and quick. They did a good job, and we’re very satisfied. I am not particularly happy with the toilet, but it's okay. I would upgrade it a little bit. It’s size is the same as what I had in Reno, but it’s not as functional. It’s a cheaper model. I wouldn’t buy it if I went into a store to do it.

    Ari ** the owner of the company himself and not a salesman came to my home to discuss all aspects of the installation, as well as an in-depth explanation on how every function of the tub operates. After meeting with the salesmen of two other walk-in tub companies, this was a welcomed visit by Ari. The installation crew were gentlemen the entire time and left my house in perfect shape. For anyone considering a walk-in tub, this is the company to go with!!

    We have a Roman tub which is close to 2 feet deep and my wife is 5 feet tall and at a point in time I said, “This is not safe. You're stepping onto a tile floor out of that bathtub and you're going to slip and fall." Independent Home was a little more personable and gave me a better deal than other companies so we went with them. We got a 5-foot wide walk-in tub from them and had it placed in the guest bathroom. They did a nice, quick and professional installation on it. We tried it once and it works just fine.

He said he'd get more of a discount knocked off if I signed up for it while he was telling about it. Several months ago, I got in my tub and I couldn’t get out and so my daughter called 911 and they came and got me out in just about three minutes. I didn’t sit down in the tub to soak any more. But that’s when I started thinking about getting one of these tubs and so we decided to get one. I really like it so far. Last night, my sister spent the night with me because she’s having plumbing trouble at her house and so she got to try out my tub.

However, the tub has that aromatherapy thing, but there was nothing in there to figure out how to buy more of them.

    I told Independent Home I wouldn't pay one of those crazy prices that they were asking for to install the tub and they said that they'd send a man over to talk to me about it. I told him how much money I had and he took me up on it. He also explained to me about the tub, said he can have it installed and so he wrote it up and we made a deal. I got the 28x48 because it's the only one I could get in the bathroom. I couldn't get the others through the door.

    I have copper pipping in this house and when the installers came, they put a steel nipple on it. Now, when the water sits in that steel nipple, it creates rust. I know that after it rusts for a while the rust gets in the valves, they shut off valves and it's likely to cause the seals to go out. So I didn't like that. But they were courteous and were good people. I'd recommend them. I'd also like to have some of that stuff you put in there to make the room smell good.

    Purchasing the walk-in tub from Independent Home was very easy. The salesman who told us about the tub was brand new and didn't high pressure us. We felt like we were getting a very expensive product but we’re getting a good deal from Independent Home. We were able to get good discounts with it through the Veterans. The installation team which was composed of a gentleman and his two helpers were here right on time that morning like they said they would be and finished at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon and walked us through it. Because we live in a manufactured home and our door wasn't very large, they took out the window of the bathroom where the tub was and everything went in and out through that window. I had asked them if they would mind taking out our shower too aside from the garden tub and they did. They were very respectful, worked right along and did a great job including cleaning up. Everything went very nicely.

    The first few times since using the tub, I wasn't comfortable. I'm tall, long and lanky and I’m used to lying out more, but I've found a way to get down and be in it. And the jets turn off automatically when the 20 minutes are up, so that’s a nice thing. It was a good experience all the way around. We're older and didn't want a lot of frills but we wanted a good tub that came with a lifetime warranty and it wouldn't give us problems down the road. I was also concerned about the possibility of water leaking through the door of the tub and this has not happened at all. My husband and I both really like it.

Then installation of the tub was above any installation I've seen in the walk-in tubs. The team that installed it was very thoughtful.

    As an educated consumer I have been accused of being obsessive about "doing my research". The fact that this purchase of a walk-in tub was for my mom made me be even more diligent. That's when I came across Independent Home online. From my initial call with Ari I felt at ease with his concern and desire to accommodate us with whatever we would need. He visited her home and I must say that this is where he belongs... In your home.

    As a nurse I am sensitive to the fact that those in the "home care" world must have empathy... He listened intently to the details of mom's latest fall. He picked up right away on my anxiety given the fact that I live out of town and am trying to do whatever I can to make her home as safe as possible. His calm, caring demeanor allowed me to be able to hear all the information he was sharing with me. After a few minutes with his tape measure he laid out a plan for us. I never felt pressured or uncomfortable with the decisions I needed to make regarding the tub model that we chose.

    On installation day my "crew", Riaz, Roberto and Brian, showed up at the door ready and prepared for the day. I was taken back by their care and respect for my mother's home... not the usual with my experience with contractors/installers. They listened to me, listened to Ari who had spoken with them before they came and did not stop working for the entire time they were here!! The ancillary concerns I had when I initially met with Ari were carried out by the crew to a T. Roberto went over everything with me during the demonstration of the tub operation and I was thrilled with the entire experience. If you don't choose Independent Home for your tub purchase and installation I wish you luck. 5 stars does not say enough. Thank you so much IH... Please consider this review a verbal hug!!!

But he did say, however, that it'd be an extra $500 if we wanted the heated seat. It really was not that good and I didn't need it 'cause my bathroom is always warm.

    I’m pleased with the tub but it doesn’t seem to have a really high speed. The low speed is not that great. This has 28 jets or little bitty pinholes. It could’ve been a little bit bigger or had a little bit better holes. The walk-in tub is a good product, probably no better than the rest. But I’m disappointed with it.

Their salesman was straightforward, honest and very pleasant. I like him. The installers were nice and very informative about the tub and how long they were doing it. They did a great job.

    One time, the water wasn't warm enough for me so I called them and within 30 minutes, they called me back and said they would be right out. Then, my grandson figured the hot water heater wasn't high enough, so he turned it up and it has been fine ever since. It wasn't a problem with the tub. They called to make sure I was okay and said they were going to come out, but I told them they didn't need to. Good follow through from them which was nice. The only thing I would like is that if the door was a little longer or wider, so when I stepped in and over, I don't have to wedge up to get in before I sit down. It's hard to spin around in it to get in and out. But other than that, it's great and I love it. I have recommended Independent Home.

    My mother had been wanting a walk-in bathtub for a long time. She already had someone come to the house which she was extremely unsatisfied with. He was so pushy and rude when he found out we were wanting to look around. He was very unhappy that we weren't gonna get it right at that second. Then I found Independent Home online and when we called them, the gentleman that she talked to was so nice and helpful, and everything went smoothly.

    The installation team was very good as well. The only problem that she had was that the heater wasn't connected, and so the air that it was blowing was cold. She was also having trouble with her hot water at the same time, and she had a hard time getting them back out to fix that. The hot water was not an issue of theirs; it was the heater in the tub itself that heats the air. But when they came, everything was wonderful, and she loves it. The tub's beneficial because she's getting so much out of it and this has just been great.

    Independent Home had a couple of nice features in their walk-in tub and after talking with them and going over the price, we decided to go with them over other manufacturers. I was just in the market and they were giving me the right answers. The dealer who assisted me with my purchase was very nice, knowledgeable, answered all my questions, took all the measurements and looked over everything. Then we negotiated a good price. The crew that came to put it in was a two-man crew. They came in and they removed all the old stuff, rearranged everything, put the tub in and had it in at the end of the day, and everything cleaned up and hauled off. They’re very nice and professional from start to finish. All in all, Independent Home has good customer relations and crew. We didn’t have to redo anything and didn’t have to go over anything twice. They are very customer-oriented and a professional group.

    I got an estimate for a tub about five years ago and I liked it then, but I couldn't afford it. Now, I have a lot of time. My husband passed away and I'm not working anymore. I felt that I needed a nice tub to live the rest of my years in. It'd take care of my sore back that I have had for years. The dealers for Independent Home were all very good. I like the whirlpool of the walk-in bathtub. Their people did a good job although my son says every once in a while the air goes through the lines. I talked to one of the managers the other day and he said to have my son call and explain to him what it was because I wasn't sure. We heard and noticed noises that we hadn't heard before. But otherwise, we love it. It's very relaxing and I show the tub to everybody that comes in. It's been a good experience.

    I've first seen walk-in bathtubs in one of the AARP magazines and chose to have one from Independent Home for their price. I looked into one tub company and talked to two other places. I was hemming and hawing around whether to get one or not and Independent Home came to talk to me about it. I said, "Well, maybe we had decided that we’d go ahead and get another one through another outfit." I called the other company back and I said, "You know, I'm really not interested simply because of the price. I really can't afford that kind of money right at this particular time."

    Then the next day, an Independent Home guy called and said, "One of our guys had been out there and said that you were contemplating on one but didn't push through because of the price. Well, what kind of price are you looking at?" I told him, "I just really can't afford that kind of money." And he said, "Oh, yeah. I don't blame you, but I can put you into one that is a lot cheaper than that." We got to talking, worked at a deal, and we got it done. I like the ease of use of the tub and since I basically got it for my wife, she uses and enjoys it. The whole experience was excellent. I had no problems with anything and everything went smoothly and accordingly.

The only problem that we have is that they didn’t put any shower surround-type board up onto our wall and I don’t think our wall is going to hold up to the amount of water that the shower had put back onto the wall. I’ve been in contact with Independent Home twice now and I got the same gentleman both times. They keep telling me they’re going to get in touch with the contractor and put it in and this and that. But I hadn’t heard. So I contacted the contractor myself but they refused to come out and put up the 15-minute wall board because their office is four hours away from me.

    We're highly delighted with our walk-in tub. I'm 84 years of age. My wife is 83. We're both getting to the age when it's a bit difficult to step into things, so we had thought for some time having been attracted by advertisements seen on television, to get a walk-in tub. The dealer was absolutely superb. The guy who came initially was a very nice chap. And then, when it was the day for installation, the two gentlemen that came to install took the whole day. It was from eight o'clock in the morning till eight o'clock at night for them to get it sorted out. They were very pleasant gentlemen. We had no bad experience with regard to the installation or the use of the tub following the installation.

    My only problem with them is that you do not realize the capacity of the tub. So, our first experience was that our hot water tank could not cope with it. We had to increase the heat level because it's taking far more water than a normal bath, we had to make the water hotter in order for it to be satisfactory. Other than that, we are highly satisfied with the purchase. We were glad we did it.

    The tub seems to be okay. It's just the method on how it was installed wasn't what we were told it was going to be. The dealer was good. They came down and took pictures of our bathroom before the tub was even shipped. I was told that they're going to take the door frame out to get the tub in because we're getting a big one and we won't even know that they've been there. But when the installer came, he cut a hole in the wall and put it through. He had to mud it but he was only there for one day. Mudding a drywall is a three-day process. So after it was installed, we had other contractors working in our house finish the installer's job. They had to fix the drywall part of it and then repaint.

    I'm still waiting for the bill from the painters so I can send it to the dealer to see if they're going to take care of it. Now, two months in, there’s a little plastic piece that slides along the middle of the handle that closes the tub which adds cushion on it and it is torqued out of the way and bent all up. We're going to need a new handle. Right now, we're unable to use the tub until it's fixed. It probably has a warranty on it but if this little plastic piece is going to break within two months, there could be something else that’s major wrong with the tub. Or maybe it’s just a defective handle.

Although they're too expensive, the way he presented it to me made me buy the tub. Using the tub makes me feel good. I put salt water in it and it helps my legs. I've had multiple myeloma and the tub helps me. One thing I wasn't satisfied with is the little old piece of metal where the door shuts that aggravated me.

He was very nice and took the time to explain to me how they were able to build custom make tubs to meet the needs of the customer. I was pleased with what he told me and agreed to meet with the local sales rep the next day to discuss our needs.

    On Oct. 30, 2015 Steven the local sales rep came to our home and sold us what we thought was a custom tub that would meet our needs. The actual installation took 2 days Nov. 10 and Nov. 11 and was very professional. I have no complaints about that part of the purchase. After everything was complete Steven gave me a folder with my paperwork and instructions for operations. He included a printout of a safety recall alert for "Safe Step Walk-In Tubs" and told me that because of "Safe Step Walk-In Tubs" recall from Feb. 24, 2015 Independent Homes had chosen to NOT include the heated seat in my purchase. This was one of the features that sold me on their product and I was very disappointed that they had chosen to not include it and that I was not told before the install.

    On Nov. 15, 2015 I sent an email to the CEO of Independent Homes addressing this and other concerns I had. The aromatherapy kit was not included in the custom build and the air jets stopped working after being on for about 10 minutes. I received a response from ** on Nov. 17, 2015 saying they no longer carry the heated seat due to recalls and quality concerns and that they would be removing that feature from the website. (As of Jan. 30, 2016 this feature is still listed on their website http://independenthome.com/features-accessories/.) He also told me the model I purchased had an FM radio instead of the Aromatherapy, but the contract I signed has no mention of an FM radio and list Aromatherapy as a standard feature.

    On Nov. 17, 2015 I spoke with Steven about the air jets not working and my concern with my tub not having the heated seat and aromatherapy. I also sent an email to ** and ** with a video attached showing what the air jets were doing and not doing. Steven assured me he would call his boss Jack (vice president of Independent Home) and see what could be done to correct things.

    On Nov. 23, 2015 UPS delivered a replacement blower motor and on Nov. 25, 2015 Steven swapped it out, but this did not correct the problem. He called Independent Home's office in NY and talked to Josh about what to try next. Josh then ordered another part, the control panel which was shipped to Steven that arrived on Dec. 5, 2015.

    On Dec. 7, 2015 Steven again came to replace another part. He was here from 10AM until 4PM working on trying to repair our $10,000 step-in tub. When he left not only were the air jets not working, now the speed drain had also stopped working. Needless to say, with all that had gone wrong with our purchase from Independent Home we were very unhappy and on Dec. 7, 2015 I sent another email to ** explaining all that had happened and ask that he try and make this a good experience for both his company and us and replace our tub with what we thought we was getting and needed with a custom tub that met our needs.

    As of today Jan. 30, 2016 he has not even shown us the courtesy of responding to that email. On Dec. 21, 2015 I called Independent Home's main office and spoke with Jessica, I ask to speak to ** and was told he was the CEO and was just too busy to handle customer complaints. I was told to contact Josh ** who handles customer complaints and that he could help me. I then sent Josh a copy of the email I had originally sent to ** on Dec. 7, 2015 and ask for his help in resolving this.

    On Dec. 21, 2015 we did get an email from Josh saying he needed to get an experienced technician to look at the spa system and assured me he was working on this. On Dec. 23, 2015 I responded to his email thanking him and told him because of the holidays that I would be fine with waiting until the holidays were over to have someone follow up.

    On Jan. 8, 2016 I sent another email to Josh to find out when we could expect his technician to look at our spa. As of Jan. 30, 2016 we still have not received as much as an email from him. On Jan. 15, 2016 I called and left a message with Jessica at Independent Home that I needed to talk with Josh about the email I sent him on Jan. 8. She assured me she would get the message to him to call me on Monday Jan. 18.

    Prompted by my call Josh sent by UPS Ground a Deluxe CG Air Blower with hose and hose clamps. This was sent to the wrong address and I finally got it on Jan. 22, 2016. It is still in the shipping box in my basement. I have not heard from Josh or Steven about what will be done with it. This would be the replacement air blower motor for the one installed by Steven on Nov. 25, 2015.

    On Jan. 18, 2016 at 11:45AM I called Independent Home and left another message that I needed to talk to Josh. I was assured he would call me back within the hour. When I didn't hear back I called again at 3:15PM and spoke with Josh. We discussed the issues we are having with this spa and that we don't feel the tub that was installed was the custom tub we originally discussed buying. He assured me he would talk to both ** and Steven to see what could be done to make this right and get back with me.

    I have called and texted Steven between Jan. 25 and Jan. 29 several times. From his VM to me it seems he has had no correspondence with Josh or anyone else at Independent Home. Josh was to have contacted him on Jan. 18 to discuss replacing the blower he had shipped to my home and also my concern about not getting the tub I thought I purchased.

    On Jan. 29 at 2:23PM I called Independent Home to speak with Josh and was told he was not available to take my call so I left a message with the person who answered the phone to have Josh call me back today. I called again at 4:40PM and left another message with the phone person that I had called earlier today and Josh had not returned my call. She assured me she would get the message to Josh that I called again. I'm still hoping that someone will contact us to make this a good experience and not the nightmare it has become so far. I would think their Lifetime Warranty would mean something.

The big screws that tighten it up to the floor weren’t done right either. He put a crack in the wall and covered only part of it. So we're not happy at all.

    So far, I’ve only used the tub once. I’ve been very busy and haven't had the time to really enjoy it. I got the deluxe model bathtub from Independent Home. I considered another brand, which is the one that advertises all the time, and I talked with their guy and got the pricing. I then decided that what Independent Home is doing would be good for me and it's half the price. I did the purchasing over the phone and had no problem with it. I called a few times to see how things were going, and it moved along pretty well. Then I got a hold of the installer and talked with him over the phone a time or two. I was in Minnesota while the tub was being installed, and I had somebody watch my place. She said the installation team did very well and she was pleased with how they reacted. It was done in a very timely way. I was pleased that it worked out as well as it did considering the fact that I was not even around when it was installed.

    We pbought a simple model walk-in bathtub from Independent Home and the buying process was fine. The installation team was nice and they're courteous and able to answer questions. The whole experience was pretty easy and even though it took a little longer than expected, they were quick.

    When we purchased a tub from Independent Home, the teller that I talked to was very nice and answered all my questions. Then we got it in plenty of time and everything was there. We installed it ourselves and we're using it. However, we had to redo the whole bathroom and put marble on the walls. We got it solved and now it looks beautiful.

    I'm very satisfied with my experience with Independent Home. I had a salesman come over and he presented the Life Tub case well. I ended up talking to one of their representatives at home and with the first day I decided to go ahead with them. The installation team did a wonderful job. I knew that they would have a problem finding an outlet to connect this tub up, because there was no outlet on that side of the wall and on the outside wall of the house. But they were able to locate an outlet on the inside of my wall in my bedroom and it came out better than I thought. They cleaned up everything and got matching tiles to put on the floor, which we're gonna go ahead and replace the whole flooring with. The installation of my toilet went well. I am very satisfied with the work that they did.

    I got an acrylic bathtub from Independent Home. I’m unsure of the exact model name, but it has a radio, lights, air and water jets, as well as a speed drain. We had a bit of an issue, though, with the control panel from a Canadian company that sent the wrong one. It took them five weeks to send the correct one, and then it took time to get it to California so that it could be brought to Nevada for installation. There was a bit of a delay, and my bathroom was already demoed, so we were without a bathroom for quite a while. The man who was sent to do the installation was very good and very nice. The bathroom was cleaned up afterwards, and he did exactly what we paid for. I like the tub. I’m happy with it.

    Getting an Independent Home Walk-in Bathtub was an easy move. I enjoyed talking with the sales rep. He was very nice. We liked the people that put in the tub. They were very nice when they came. They did everything very professionally. They were in and out sooner than we thought they were going to be (they came at eight o'clock and they were gone before one o'clock). We love our tub. It's nice to know that even though I couldn't get a shower through Independent, the young gentleman installer was a remodeler with a license so I could get him to come and do it.

    Our old tub had a hole in the bottom of it and that was the big reason we got another one. We purchased the Independent Home walk-in bathtub model that opens up to the front. The model determined the price, but we knew what we wanted when we started so we went ahead. Their guys then tore our old tub. Overall, we still have a few wood trimmings that need to be finished in terms of installation, so I'm not really completely satisfied. But the tub itself is nice.

    The Independent Home Walk-in bathtub that I got for my mom was good. She used it a couple of times although she didn't end up getting the model she wanted, one with a curved door and had more design to it. Instead, she got the latest model of the tub. But everything went smoothly. Their salesman explained everything and their installers were professionals and did their job in a timely manner.

    The sales rep from Independent Home who came out was the nicest and most pleasant fella. He was very positive, not pushy and talked us through the whole thing. We already heard several spiels from different people and we really liked what he had to say. Both my wife and I said, "I can work with this guy" and we were very pleased with him.

    The young guy who was in charge of everything was great and knew his stuff. I was gone a good deal of the day and my wife said that he was terrific and she liked him very much. He had to cut out a place in one of the walls and then replaced it. I had a couple of things that I wanted to do separately. I put in an extra filter to filter out all of the chlorine that is in our water system and he showed me exactly what he was gonna leave me with, where I would put it and told me all the stuff and so I bought the filters and put those in. Everything was very neat. On the inside, you can see the inside panel where all the connections are. He was easy to work with and did an excellent job. He also had a fella working with him who didn't really say a whole lot but was helpful very pleasant. Everybody was terrific all the way down. We were very pleased every step of the way. All in all, an excellent and very satisfying experience.

    I chose Independent Home over another specialty tub manufacturer because their price was better. I got the Deluxe model and purchasing it was pretty easy. We gave an approximately 50% deposit and paid the rest off when the gentleman installed the tub. In addition, the installation team answered all our questions, gave us an orientation and did a good job. However, the problem we're having with the tub is that the air jets don't work properly. They shut off after about four minutes when they should stay on for the entire tub. They sent a part out then they had somebody come and switch that part out. After they switched that part out, the problem was continuing exactly the same, and so we're in communication with the company to see how and what they're going to do to fix the problem. So, we're hoping that they're going take care of it.

    Purchasing a walk-in bathtub from Independent Home was easy. I've been watching the ads and I called one of them, but it was way too expensive. However one of their guys came by and he explained to me why one tub didn't cost as much as the others. It's all made in America and that was one good selling point. I got a walk-in bathtub from them - not the cheapest one, but the next one up.

    Their installers were great, however, I was supposed to be given salts, but they didn't bring any with them. I'm also wondering if there's a temperature gauge behind one of the doors, the front and the back, since I run out of hot water before the tub fills up to all the jets. I always end up having to take a cool bath, which is better for me, but I do like a little bit of warmth. Those aside, I'd recommend Independent Home. I always do and my friends are very envious of me. The tub has also helped me with my stress up in my neck and shoulders. I can slide down in the tub and get a good beating in those areas and that feels good. It's been a wonderful experience.

    A lady friend gave me the name of Independent Home, the ad and the phone number of who to order it from. At the time they decided to deliver the tub, it was difficult with me because I had fallen and broken my arm. I got one arm that’s in a cast up to my shoulder and not able to use the tub even though it's there. I use it to get stronger, but I can't use the jets. They also had to tear up my door and put a new one. I don't have it taken care of yet. The ceiling in the bathroom was not done right as well. When they put the sides in, they damaged the ceiling. They said they had a lot of problems because my house is old. The installers were here an awfully long day until late into the night. They left around 10:00 and that's late for an old lady. I also haven't received the pillow I was supposed to get for the tub. I thought it would come when the tub was delivered.

    A salesman from Independent Home came and showed me one of their product models and asked how I happened to know about it. I've wanted one for a long time. It was easy purchasing their tub, although I had to rake up together all the money I could to get it. I ended up paying $5,000 and owing $5,000. Everything went fine with the installation. However, I slipped into the plug-in the first day and hurt my toe, so I've been looking for a small mat to put in that. Other than that, it's going very well. Additionally, I put some Cascade dishwashing soap in it this morning and ran it for 15 minutes and then let it rinse for 15 minutes. That went well so it's okay. Overall, it's looking out well. I would recommend Independent Home to a friend. I was talking to one this morning and she perked up like she might be interested.

    Purchasing the Walk In Bath Tub from Independent Home was easy because I knew I wanted it. We were settling on the price and the rep told me what I wanted and that was it. However, when they took out my old tub, it left a bare wall and they left it open. They totally finished off the tub very nice, but I think it's colder having that wall exposed like that. When I looked inside at the controls I could see that bare wall exposed. Their installation team very nice and courteous, but they didn't tell me about that exposed wall. I would have put something up to cover that wall so it wouldn't be so open.
