I am disabled. I lost the use of my legs in May, and I thought Safe Step would be a better deal than me having a regular tub, and then having one of those chairs put in it. I was so excited about getting it, where I could take a shower every other day, which would help my situation. But I’m afraid to use it because I have trouble getting in and I can’t get out. The first time I used that, it took me 10 minutes to be able to get in. I got in it, but I could not close the door. Because the door opens in, and with my legs being no-feeling, and I can’t move them right. Finally, I stood up and we finally figured a way to shut the door. The first time it happened, it was ungodly. I couldn't call my son to help me get out of this bathtub. It was very nerve-wracking and I was not happy with it. But the shower itself was fabulous. I loved it.
I called Dean, who was the one that worked with us to get it in, and he stopped over two weeks ago. He said, “Come on. Let’s see why you can’t get in and out.” I showed him how I can get in, but in order to shut the door so I can close it to take a shower, I have to do the same thing, turn around, kneel on the seat. If the door swung out, it would be perfect. Dean said to me, “I don’t want you afraid of it.” And he was gonna talk to people in the company, but as of today, I have not heard from him yet.
The installation team was excellent and they were very friendly. There were times where I had to have them to stop, so I could go in there to use the bathroom and they said, “Not a problem.” They were great. They were three older men and I was very well-pleased with them. I would refer them to anybody. This tub is beautiful if I was able to use it like I wanted to. So, I’m hoping somebody can help me figure out how to get in and out better 'cause we’ve put out the money for that and I wanna be able to use it. I would recommend them to other people, but just be able to explain how to get in and out of that door.

Safe Step installed a walk-in tub for me. They had to widen the door a little bit so they could get the tub in. Also, the plumbing was coming in and it was the wrong way. It needed to come from the reverse end on it. They had to do that. The crew did the job in less than a day. They did an excellent job. I enjoy the walk-in tub very much. But there was one thing about the shower curtain. It hangs out by the tub and if you’re taking a shower, your water is gonna go outside the tub. Also, Safe Step needs to tell the customer that they're gonna have to put in a bigger hot water heater. I had a 45-gallon hot water heater and it filled it up about three quarters of the way. I had to put a new 80-gallon hot water heater in.

Safe Step put a tub in for me, and the installation crew did a good job and cleaned up the floor. However, they had to cut the old tub out and it got dust all over everything, and I had to clean it up. Other than that, they did all right. Also, the drain plug is leaking and the remote doesn't work. I've been trying to get somebody to fix it. Mike came out and put a new stopper in, but it still leaks. I'm waiting for him to come and do something about it. He was supposed to come back last weekend but he didn’t make it. I also didn’t have enough hot water and he didn’t tell me that my water heater wasn't big enough, so I got a booster put on to where it produces more. But I still haven't used the tub that much because there's a leakage and the remote isn't working. I could get along without that, but I paid for it. My overall experience has not been very good because they haven't fixed what's wrong with the tub.

I was inquiring about tubs and went on the internet, and we decided on Safe Step. Their tub had all the features on it that I would like to have, and the others that I had looked at didn’t have all those features. It also had a high rating. The sales rep was very informative. He gave us the rundown of what was on the tub, what each feature did, whether or not it was good for your health and what you could do. He represented the tub very well. The installers were real nice too. There were two gentlemen that came out and they were real friendly. Since we bought the tub, I've used it three times a week and I've enjoyed using it.

The sales rep explained all the options of the Safe Step tub and the experience when you take a bath in it. He said that they delivered one to a health facility place for them to take a bath in and a lot of them enjoyed it. When the installer of the tub called me, he let me know what time he was gonna be there. He was late, but he called and let me know he was gonna be late. He came and explained what he was gonna do and how he was gonna do it. He also noticed something that was off in my plumbing and he took care of it, so he wouldn’t have to come back to me to repair all he had to put in the tub. He knew what he was doing and they repaired everything to my liking before they left and made sure that I was satisfied before I signed anything. He filled the tub all the way up with water to see if there were any leaks in it. It was all done in one day and he sounded like he was professional with it.
I got the tub for my wife because she really couldn’t take any showers and I wish I had invested in it earlier for my wife. If she takes a shower, she has to sit down in the shower to bathe. The tub was the ideal thing for her and she enjoyed it. I am 68 now, sitting in it, and the warm water makes me feel good. Also, the people that had been to my home and noticed the tub loved it, although when I tell them about the price, it makes them think again.

My wife is sick and needs a place to shower and bath. I couldn't get her in and out of the standard tub so we decided it was time to get a walk-in tub. My wife sat there when Safe Step installed the tub. I wrote them a check and they went on back to their business. My wife enjoys the new tub and is happy to have a bath.

We bought a walk-in tub from Safe Step. The shower made us do it. The sales representatives we dealt with were wonderful. They were very considerate and explicit in their comments about what we were getting. Then, the people who came out to install the unit went step-by-step. They said that they didn't find any problems and that it was gonna be fine. They also talked to us a couple of times about how the whole thing was going before the installation was completed and did a great demonstration. While the shower's price is horrible - it's expensive and is taking all of our savings - we are super satisfied with it.
Hi Homerlene, thank you so much for letting us know that you enjoy your shower! Please keep on enjoying!

My son's girlfriend's daddy has a Safe Step walk-in tub and he recommended it. The reps explained the product very well. The installers handled every small problem. Their professionalism and the quality of their work were top-notch. Plus, they left the place spotless. I had to add a water heater though. I didn't have enough hot water to accommodate the size of the tub. The tub is all-inclusive and has every feature you could imagine. I've used the tub twice, but I had to go to the hospital and I'm looking forward to getting home and using it.

I saw SafeStep's ads in the paper and I decided to purchase from them because of that. I was also having a problem getting out of my old tub. Their sales rep was very nice and very personable. He impressed me as being somebody who had authority in person and he was knowledgeable of the product. He also explained everything to me. The installers who came out were excellent as well and I had no problem with them at all. They went about their business and I moved out of the way. But it took a little longer because of my floor. They had a little problem with it and they had to come back the next morning and finish up, which they did. So far, I like everything about my new tub. It's nice and it holds a lot of water. I'm satisfied and happy with my experience, too. I have also recommended SafeStep to a couple of people.

I like organization and don’t like helter-skelter things. So the fact that Safe Step was so organized and the gentleman who presented the tub to us was knowledgeable got me to choose them. I could tell their rep was behind his product 100%. Then, there were two men who did the installation. They were very busy doing what they’re supposed to be doing and knew exactly what to do. They were very polite and friendly. Plus, they cleaned up their mess which made me feel good.
My back is very bad and I had two knee replacements so my legs don't work. So, to sit in the tub is what I really wanted. Because of the walk-in tub's seat, I don’t have to get in and get down in the water. However, I just developed cellulitis on my legs and I’m not allowed to soak in the tub. Moreover, I don’t think that our water heater can produce enough warm water to fill it all the way, and I don’t know how to solve that problem. Nevertheless, I would recommend Safe Step to my friend. In fact, my daughter and my sister are making dates to come and take a bath.

It was a good decision to get a Safe Step walk-in tub. My wife needed the tub badly and it has really helped her a lot. The installation team did a good job. They didn't even take time to eat and they just kept on working until they got it done. I like all of the features of the tub. I would recommend Safe Step to anybody else.

I was having difficulty getting out of my own tub. Also, I hate showers which are like work to me. I cannot relax. Then, I read Safe Step’s ad in a magazine and which was an offer through ARP, so I thought of getting the tub. I also got the okay from the management in the retirement community we live in to have the tub put in. Then I called Safe Step. They had a good salesman. Also, the installation was very well done. My husband and son were here to watch. The installation was done by about 3:00 o’clock and the installers left no mess.
However, the salesman neglected to tell me a couple of things. He said I could preheat the seat and it would turn off after 20 minutes for safety. I thought it was a good feature. So, I turn on the seat and then I prepared to take my bath, which took five minutes or so. But when I came back, the seat was still cool. The person I got on the phone the other day told me that the seat takes 15 minutes to warm up. It seemed a little ridiculous to me and I’m not gonna stand around 15 minutes waiting for it to get warmed up completely.
Moreover, I got the tub for the massaging jets and I could now get out of it but I was not told that it makes so much noise. The noise has not been very pleasant. I’m used to relax in my tub and listen to the news on the TV but with the walk-in tub’s noise, I could not even hear my TV, which is just outside the bathroom door in my bedroom. I could hear the news on the TV if I turn off the massaging jets but I need the massage on my legs. The salesman joked about it and told us that everything was made in Tennessee, except that they get the motors from the foreign country of California.
Since we live in a retirement community and we have our own apartment, other people, especially women, are thrilled with the fact that I have a walk-in tub and they wanna see it. I cannot lie to them and I’m gonna tell them that the tub makes a lot of racket and it is not relaxing. It would certainly have been better if the salesman told us about it.

We were looking for a walk-in tub for my wife’s sister Tammy who lives with us. She has Down Syndrome and weighs well over 200 pounds so it’s hard for my 67 year old wife to get her in and out of a tub. The installers did the installation in eight hours and it went well.

I love my Safe Step walk-in tub. I liked that all of the parts and everything about it is made here in the USA. The sales rep was very nice and very pleasant. The installation team was all very pleasant and did an excellent job too. I have arthritis in the back, and it helps with that and the restless legs syndrome. After I've taken my massage bath and all of it, I'm just more relaxed. My back doesn't hurt as bad, and I stand up a little straighter when I walk. I love the jet massage too.

I had been researching other tubs for a number of years for my wife's arthritis. She takes medication for the arthritis which is not as relieving, and we were looking to get something for pain relief and relaxation. From all my research, including talking with a therapist and other medical professionals, the therapy tub seems to be the way to go for relief from such things as arthritis.
I have communicated with other walk-in tub companies and they've all declined to even send a salesman out because we own a mobile home and the tubs are too heavy for the floor. But the bathroom has a garden tub which has 80 gallons capacity and the Safe Step walk-in tub or step-in tub has 75 gallons capacity or weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon. Doing a simple math about it tells us right then and there that the floor is gonna hold. So while the other tub companies had declined to even talk about it, Safe Step, responded quickly to my inquiry. The demeanor of Safe Step's reps was very good, and I was satisfied with that.
Safe Step sent out their sales rep, Quinn, in two days. He was not very pushy, and I had very good interactions with him. He was very informative, and he answered all of our questions very professionally. I spent a number of years in sales management, and I was able to recognize someone who was sincere in his sales pitch. I had very good interactions with the installation team as well. They were also very professional. They answered any questions I had, and they were in and out. They did a very good job because the tub works quite well now, although my wife feels that the tub should cost less so seniors like us who are on Social Security and nothing else can afford them better.
Meanwhile, I have one suggestion for their engineering department. There is a knob which controls the air-water ratio, and when the water shoots out of the jets, you can add just water or almost just air. The knob is made out of either plastic or a polished chrome fitting, and it's very difficult to grasp especially for someone who is our age and has arthritis. So I would recommend to Safe Step’s engineering department, and I can even help them design it, being a retired engineer, that the knob be made easier for folks to grab. Also, the diameter of the knob is only about an inch and a quarter. A larger diameter and a knurled or a rubberized grip would really make a big difference in the performance of the tub.
My wife uses the Safe Step walk-in tub every day. She likes the water jets and the micro bubbles which are exfoliating and very pleasing. My wife now walks easier, and that has made a big difference because she's a wheelchair-bound individual. She either sits in a wheelchair, or I help her over into her power recliner. Now, she finds some relief, and if that relief keeps up with the weight, I keep telling her she'd be tap dancing in no time at all. So the tub works for her, and it worked better than pain pills. We've only been using the tub for two weeks now, maybe less, but I like to be able to see her walking too. I'm quite satisfied with the tub.

Safe Step is American made and we liked how their product looked by the advertisement and what we saw of it. They did the shower and tub combo for us. They were very professional and they did a nice job. We were pleased with the installers and they did the installation very well. We enjoy the tub and we like the jets and the colored lights. I do a lot of heavy work, and it is relaxing to sit down in the tub with the jets on.

I had a perfect salesman from Safe Step. Bill, the guy that come and talk to me and put on his display, did a excellent job. I knew I wanted one before he even went through his three-hour pitch, but it was great. I bought it right off the bat. I had seen the tub, I liked it, and I needed it. My wife's 70 and I'm turning 65. Down the road, it could even be more beneficial.
Getting it installed was crazy. I didn’t think they could get that big thing in that little door. The guys that installed it were really good and they completely switched mine around. They said mine's got a right-hand door on it and I used to face one way and take a shower and stuff. Now, I turn around the other way and take a shower, I'm in the opposite direction. And I was kinda amazed. They took the doorframe out, didn’t have to mess with the vanity or anything and put it in there. I had it by 8 o'clock and at 3 o'clock, they were gone. They did an excellent job.
I fell out of a truck about four years ago and I've had some injections in my hip. The steroids they give me make my muscles weak and the tub has really helped build it back up, the therapy part of it, the jets and stuff in it. And I always just sit in the bathtub with that Epsom salt. Also, it's just relaxing. While it's still in half, I'll start out with the legs and then when it gets all the way full, I'll go to the both of them, all the jets and stuff. When I'm starting to get too hot in there and it's about 10 minutes for it to get ready, I put on the microbubbles. It seems like when you get out of it, you can feel them little bubbles going through your skin. It's amazing what it can do compared to the old hot tubs back in the days.

Safe Step offered me a shower with the walk-in tub. When the sales rep came over and talked to me, it worked out well. He explained everything and answered my questions. So, I went with Safe Step.

We enjoy the tub. It’s very good. My wife likes it and everybody who used it enjoyed it. In fact, I would recommend it. I’ve already told my daughter and she loves it. Safe Step had a fluctuation of sizes and that was why I went with them. Some of the other ones didn’t have that fluctuation. There was also the lifetime guarantee on the mechanisms and parts. That was one of the good factors on Safe Step. The sales rep also answered everything that I asked and was real nice. In fact, she even emailed me a sketch of the unit on the internet. I couldn’t find it and she had it. The installers were real good too. They did a good job on putting the tub together and on cleaning up.
The only thing about the tub is the aroma. The bottle they gave me, evidently, was about out. I used it one time and I didn’t have any more left in that thing. I couldn’t even really tell if there was any in the bottle when I even got it. It smelled like it but that was about it. When the installer told me how to do it, he said to put the drops in the aroma thing and close it back up. But when I called to see about getting more aroma, the customer service girl said I needed to put the drops in the water. That was a lot different from what they told me at the installation and what the paperwork shows. So I was out of aroma real quickly but she told me I can get some more at Bed Bath & Beyond. That aside, I like just about all of the features of the tub. It seemed like there are light shows going on too. All in all, I’m real pleased with the tub.

A Safe Step rep, Ralph, from Easley called me and we had a long conversation at my house. He measured and carried on. However, I have some concerns about the installation and the tub. The tub is two inches wider out into the room than I was told and it made sitting on the toilet extremely difficult. I have two artificial knees and my knees hit the tub and leave bruise marks on my knees. I had a different toilet installed, because I had a bidet on it, to the tune of $2,000 and it’s still rubbing. And all of it is due to the fact that it was measured incorrectly. Also, they broke several things and scarred the wall and carried on.
But Kevin is working with me on trying to get that installation fixed and other than that, I love the tub. The tub itself is wonderful and its quality is excellent. I am handicapped. I have heart condition and I have mobility issues. The tub has really helped my back because I have major back problems and I have neuropathy in my feet. All of that has worked beautifully.

But one of the reasons I got this, was for my mom because she has some veins on her legs, she also has problems with walking, the tub soothes her really good. I also love the walk-in tub. It does what it’s supposed to do. I wish I had it a little earlier than I have it now and I need to find some time to get in there more often. I love the fact, when you get into it, you can relax with the lights that come on. I love that part. Sometimes, I wish it was built so two can get in it because I’m on well water and water sometimes runs the tub a little more than to fill it up if there’s still one individual.

The sales representative gave us many options and we went with one that he said, for that price, we had to order that day. The only problem was that we took the lesser option and we had a date for the installation but the tub did not arrive to wherever it needed to arrive for Safe Step to deliver it. So Safe Step gave us the fancy-dandy model for the same price. The installers were very good and pleasant as well. We had a tub there already and they had to remove that and put the new one in. It took a few hours and they finished that day.
But I had to give the installer another call because I had a question. It was about the outside panel which I wasn't familiar. One was a little loose and it scared me. He was gonna try to see if he could come stop by and fit it into his time when he wasn't working. But I started to read all the directions and I did get it back in place. I still have some questions about that though. I don't know why they're there, what it is for and if I have to do anything with them. Maybe someone can explain all of these different soaps and powders that you have to clean the tub with too. That's the other question I had. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful tub and it has wonderful features. I would recommend it. What we also like about the information that was given to us was the fact that the company would stand behind it practically forever. It is also guaranteed not to leak.

There is a jet that is loose. I called Safe Step. I said, “This thing is loose.” They said, “Oh, it’s come out.” I said, "It’s loose. It’s in there. I just can’t regulate it. It won’t stay in place. It’s not out." They said they'd send somebody to fix it. The first thing the guy said when he just stepped out of his truck, “I understand you’ve got a jet that’s out.” I said, "It’s not out. It’s loose." Then somebody else called and he asked what was the problem. And I told him. I also said the water’s not staying warm like promised. “Oh, you gotta do this, this, and this.” I said, “If I do that, I don’t get the jets. All I get are that little bubbly stuff that’s supposed to clean my pores. I’d like to have it warm where I could use the jets." And that was another fib that they told, that it kept the water warm.
Then when my wife and I were outta town, trying to get a little R & R, I got a call. “We wanna set up to try to fix that jet.” I said I was outta town and to call me on Monday. That was two weeks ago. I had not heard from Safe Step since. The tub is not doing what it’s supposed to be doing and they hadn’t fixed it. They’re just a horrible company, as far as I’m concerned.
I got an email yesterday and I answered it, and I said exactly what I think. They have had opportunity after opportunity to do the right thing. I’d waited two weeks to get a call from them that I was supposed to have gotten a few days ago. I don’t appreciate what they’d done, I don’t appreciate the way they have treated me and my wife. If I could get rid of that piece of garbage, I would have it out in a minute. It’s one of the worst decisions I’ve made in my life, and I really don’t care to have anything to do with them. They’re not taking care of business.

The Safe Step sales rep was knowledgeable and he took his time answering all of our questions. The installers were very interactive with us and let us know what was going on during the process. I know that they sometimes have to make adjustments to the restroom itself to be able to implement the tub, but all they had to do was take off the door to be able to get it in. It went pretty smooth overall. I like the jets for my back because I've had back surgery. I also like that we have the shower part. I use the dual showerhead at the same time, and I like that 'cause I have the lower one beating on my shoulders while the higher one rinses me. My late husband had medical conditions and the tub was very beneficial to him. My mother-in-law lives across the road and she said he was gonna have her call and get an estimate to get one put in her trailer up the road.

Both of my parents have mobility issues and my mom has a lot of general health issues in general, so this tub would have been a godsend for them. The tub seemed amazing in every aspect except the price. I'm sorry, but no tub is worth $20,000. The sales rep that came out was friendly enough, but was pretty much a car salesman. He was going to do anything he could to sell my parents that tub. They'd have absolutely loved to buy it, but there was no way they could afford it, especially when they had to come up with $1,000-$6,000 right on the spot. Typical salesman style, the tub is this price, but wait, we can get you some discounts (not very much in the grand scheme of things). My dad and I met with the rep while my mom was sleeping, she had just got out of the hospital and was finally able to fall asleep. My dad didn't feel comfortable with forking over that kind of money without talking it over with my mom.
The rep spent at least a half an hour trying to pressure my dad into waking up my mom. He explained to him several times he wasn't going to and why. The guy was really trying to pressure him into buying the tub then and there and said he wouldn't be back and most of the discounts would be gone once he left. He even told my dad if she was going to be sleeping the appointment should have just been cancelled, but if the company was up front about their price the appointment wouldn't have ever been made. Not to mention it was going to take 4-6 weeks to have it installed.
The sales rep was even nice enough to leave his empty McDonald's cup for us, wouldn't have been a big deal if he would have asked if we could throw it away for him, so it added on to his unprofessionalism. It typically takes a lot to upset me, and the way he was trying to pressure my dad into buying something he couldn't afford was really pushing my buttons and I was about ready to tell him to get the hell out.

We purchased a walk-in tub from Safe Step. The interactions with the reps were very good. They were professional. We like that we can just walk into the walk-in tub and sit down. We are very well satisfied. We spent a lot of money on it. However, the other day, my caregiver was either putting me in the walk-in tub and the little glass door at the top that slides in cracked off. We called about it and they said they'd send one out to replace it.
Hi Kathie, thank you for letting us know! We are so happy to hear you're enjoying.

I had knee surgery and it was hard for me to get in and out of a tub. I talked my husband about getting something like a Safe Step walk-in tub so it would make it easy for me to get in and out and take a bath as well as have some water therapy on my knee. The salesman who came told us about the Safe Step product and gave us all the information on it and what it would do.
The walk-in tub that I got has handrails and a seat. Being able to sit down and take a bath has helped. In addition to that, my husband takes a bath and my son likes the walk-in tub since it got a shower head that is tall enough for him. Other than that, Safe Step didn't fix a place for the water that gets up around the edge to drain off back into the tub. When my husband and son take a shower, it splatters off to the back and the side, and there's a little groove there that I put a washcloth to try to keep the water from coming down on the floor. Still, my experience is alright and I would recommend Safe Step to other people who I know could afford it.

I fell and broke my hip a few months ago. I couldn't get in and out of a regular bathtub and I was using a shower that has been in my house for 20 years. I saw an advertisement for Safe Step Walk-in Tubs and I thought that would be a whole lot easier and a more pleasant experience for me than trying to get in and out of the shower. So, I called Safe Step and asked for more information. I received more information in the mail and I looked at it. And then, a gentleman came to my house and made a presentation. He was very pleasant and informative.
The tub installation went wonderful. The installers who came to my house were very nice. They did a good job and they cleaned up after themselves. I like the ease of getting in and out of it. It's pleasant to sit down and have the water. My feet and legs feel better after I sit for a while in the bath and turn the jets on. It's a very good experience and I'm satisfied with the tub. It's extremely expensive but I would not have spent the money if I had not been 82 years and thinking that if I don't spend it, somebody else will. Safe Step needs to consider the cost if they wanna sell more walk-in tubs.

I have a Jacuzzi, and I got in it, but when I got ready to get up, I found it difficult to lift my body weight out of the tub. I thought that, at my age, it wasn’t as safe, so I decided to try Safe Step because of the safety. The salesman was friendly and knowledgeable, although there were some things that he told me that weren’t so. I’ve also discovered a couple of things as a result of interacting with the guys that came to install the tub, that, sometimes, the salesman has never seen an installation and he really doesn’t know what goes on when the tub is being installed and what has to happen in your house to take an old tub out and put in a new tub. The salesman was good and fun, nevertheless.
The installation team was excellent. They were on time. They had to take two doors off to make a corner turn to install it and they were careful with the way they handled it. They were here for about five hours, but they knew what they were doing and did a good job. And when they left, it was neat and clean. The salesman took a picture of my hot water tank in the house and he documented that he took a picture of the tub. And in the finance department, he wrote on the contract that he gave me a $750 deduction for the tub.
He told me that he was gonna give me a discount for my tub, but he never told me that the capacity of the tank that I had in the house would not accommodate their unit because the unit requires 84 gallons of water to fill it up. When you put a body in it, it is going to displace some of the water. You don’t have to put the whole 84 gallons in there. But with a 30-gallon tank in the house, it is a clinical impossibility to supply enough hot water into the tub that needs 84 gallons, and that is what the salesman did not tell me. He could’ve told me that I was gonna need a bigger hot water tank to keep up with it.
Subsequently, I had to buy a new hot water tank, so I bought a 75-gallon tank which cost $2,300 and had it installed in addition to the $14,000 that I had to pay for the tub. However, if the salesman told me that I would have to buy a new hot water tank, I never would have bought the tub. I’ve learned since then that I could’ve installed some grab bars on the wall in my own bathroom and I could’ve kept my own Jacuzzi tub. I could’ve used that bar to help me lift my body up out of the tub, so I wouldn’t need to get a new tub. Also, even with the new tub, the water regulating valve is not working. When they established it, they told me they had set the water temperature gauge at 102 degrees in order to keep me from scalding myself.
If you move the dial from 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock, you are gonna go for cold water. If you move it from 6 to the right, going up, you call for more hot water. There is a unit on the valve that you can click that will release the valve and allow it to go all the way around up to 12 o’clock going on the right side of the tub, and that is when you put a demand for more hot water, but you have to press it in order to get it to move. Other than that, it won’t move, which is okay. I tried to use the override. I pushed it and it went all the way around on the right. It pushed it to the right, but it should not have gone that far, so I pushed the override and it went loose, which let me know that the valve was defective. So, I put in a call for them to give me a service call, but it took around 10 days. I could never get anybody out here.
I called the guy that installed the tank and he told me that he would send an email to somebody. They told me to call a number for service. It was an 800 number, but every time I called that number, they told me to hold on. They said, “Hold on because all of our representatives are busy talking to other customers.” Then, they would come on the line and say that nobody is available. They would tell me to leave my name and number and that they would call me back. When I call 800 989 5101, they never let me talk to anybody.
I called the salesman and I told him about the situation and he said, “Oh, that’s terrible. I would send somebody a text message and somebody will get in touch with you.” It took another four or five days. Subsequent to that, a gentleman came out, looked at the valve and determined that it needed to be adjusted. I stood there and watched him adjust the valve. He stayed here until the water was running and the valve was working.
It takes at least 10 to 15 minutes for the water to fill up in the tub. That means you have to sit there that long to wait for the tub to fill up. I got in the tub and I was ready to fill it up with my brand new hot water. It stayed warm until it got up around my knees, then it started running cold again. I messed the new valve that the tech adjusted and it didn’t work, so the tub was running more cold water. I called back and told the salesman about it and he assured me that he would send somebody a text message. However, I am still on a list waiting for a service person to come in and look at that. I told the guy that came to adjust the valve that it was faulty from the factory, but he said that they could adjust it. However, the adjustment didn’t work.
I am very dissatisfied with the whole visit, but as far as the tub is concerned, it is fabulous. It is very pretty and it makes the bathroom lovely. But I can’t get anybody to respond to me. I have a friend that weighs around 270 and she is 5’9”. She was at the house looking at the tub and I told her to sit in it. She got in and sat down, but she had to stand up because she couldn’t shut the door until she stood up. And her being obese, she was a little flushed in there. She said, “Oh, I’d probably turn into a prune if I sit here forever." With her girth, it would be a sloppy mess for her in the tub. I would not recommend the tub for anybody who is extremely girthy unless Safe Step could custom-build the tub for somebody who is fat.

They had two big vans outside and they were in and out, and in and out. When I offered them coffee, they said no. They worked hard and did a good job. It was dusty but they cleaned up and it really looked nice.
The tub is smaller than the one we usually use though. My husband is a big man so he has a hard time turning around. There's not a lot of room. As for me, the first day I got in there, I sat down and the water came up and came up. I said, “Haaa! My God! Where is that button?" I called my husband and he finally came in.

NOT HAPPY WITH TUB OR EXPERIENCE--hubby needed a sit-down shower due to his medical issues and we went nearly $20,000 in debt to get one of these, something we could not really afford due to all our other financial debt due to our illnesses. They promised a lot but when it came to actually doing said if it was not in contract they could not do it. The 50 gallon hot water heater only filled 1/2 of tub before running out of hot water. I called and they said they are NOT allowed to even talk about the HWH when giving the sales presentation, which the salesman did. Also the shower unit which comes out of the upper flat surface where the faucets are located, because it is level, the water spills over the edge and onto the floor.
There is no lip on the edge to keep the water from spilling over. And they continued the lies, first call to them about the HWH, they said they would at no charge to us give us an HWH booster and an lip for the edge to keep water from spilling over when using the shower. Several weeks later after no call to schedule an appointment, my second call to them they reneged and said they could not do that at all---. A 3rd they changed their minds again and l said they would and would set up an appt later that day to come and fix the problems. They have yet to call.

I saw Safe Step on TV and I was impressed with the shower. The gentleman who came motivated me to buy from them. He was good at his sales job. He was very informative, courteous and polite. I didn’t like that he kept talking and didn’t give you a chance to say much but when I had something to say, he listened and addressed my questions and concerns. So, I was very impressed with him. The Safe Step representatives were awesome, extraordinarily polite and efficient. They were considerate and experts at what they did. They were the best and made me feel good about buying the Safe Step shower. However, you can have the contractors.
The gentleman who did the installation originally did an excellent job. However, he did not place the shower correctly. The water went down into my basement ceiling when I showered and it caused damage to my ceiling, to some of the woodwork there and the carpet itself. So, he had to come back and redo it. The way the shower looked the first time was what I expected but when he redid it, it was a sloppy job. Everything was incorrect and it didn’t look like it was a professional job. I understand that the contractor came in and corrected everything. They fixed my shower and the ceiling downstairs which looks good. They ended up doing an excellent job but they started on it December 22nd and by the time that I was hoping to take a shower, it was January 15th.
I never wanted the tub but it’s okay. I had leg surgery and I was having trouble raising my legs over the shower. I use the hot tub when I shower. The shower is excellent, but it’s a little awkward. It takes getting used to because I can sit down and wash the top of my body, but the seat is all the way back. Also, if you shower on the seat that they gave and put soap on you, you’d slide out of that seat. Now, we’re doing that a little slowly. One of the representatives from Safe Step gave me a heavier seat.

I found Safe Step on the BFW Magazine and went with them because of the recommendation. Also, I knew going by other brand names per se, like Jacuzzi, I would be paying more the name than anything. Safe Step pretty much did everything. They told me right off the bat that they won't paint which was fine. They said they do everything and that was a little bit of a shock to the guy that was doing it because he understood that we were going to go ahead and supply the door, which we weren't told to. So, there was a little confusion there. But they went ahead and did it because of the representative told us that they would. Also, I had to call them back for like a trim work to finish up because we had a tile missing because they had to move the door away. That was something extra that they came in and fixed real quick. They found a solution that worked for both of us.
Other than that, the installation went very well. The guy had a long day and he didn't get done until about 8:00 PM. Towards the end there, he wanted to get home, I could kinda tell, but he was still professional about it. The only thing is about the flow rate of the tub. Since it has greatly increased, they need to tell the consumer a little bit more about that because we have on demand water, an electric one. And it will not keep up with the full flow if I turned it all the way up. It will only do about half because we measured the flow rate at about 5.1 in comparison to a regular tub being about 2.5.

The commercial sold me so I chose Safe Step over other walk-in tub companies. The representative that came out was very knowledgeable about the equipment. He told me that I might have to get another hot water heater. The guys that came out to do the installation knew a lot about the tub too and presented it to me well. When they came and installed my tub, they said that I wouldn't need another hot water heater, but I do. Right now, I'm not getting the full benefit of the tub because my hot water runs out when my tub gets half full. I might have to get a bigger hot water heater in order for my jets to function. I can't afford a hot water heater right now, but I might get it later on. Other than that, the product is beautiful and I love showing it off. When I invite people over to look at my Safe Step tub, they say that I've done well and the Lord has blessed me, and I say that He sure has.

I researched before and decided I would try Safe Step. There was a little difference in the prices with another company and Safe Step had even more to it at this time than when I first encountered it. We also needed it because we are of old age. Our rep was wonderful and he explained everything. He was on cue on when it would happen, what time, and all that so everything was great. Our tub installation was good too. The installers were on time and did a wonderful job. They explained what was going on and gave me the information on how to operate the walk-in tub. They also cleaned up by themselves what little that was there. They checked everything away, which was great, and I was very happy with it.
Everybody needs a Safe Step walk-in tub. But I can only ask for one other thing that the company should think about and that is making the tub just about another foot longer because of the way you're going in it and sometimes, you have to kinda back up to it. Other than that, it's great. But Safe Step can always do some modification to make it even better. They can maybe have two sizes, one for a little smaller person and one for a little larger person.
Thanks so much for your message Walter! Keep on enjoying!

I saw Safe Step Walk-in Tubs on TV and in magazines. I got literature in the mail too. There was so much input on it and everyone said it was the number one. I had a wonderful salesman. He was so knowledgeable and kinda working for us. We also got wonderful young men for our installation. You're always a little apprehensive about who's gonna be in your home, but they were courteous, thoughtful and kind. They can come back at any time. There was also an electrician who was older. He got his job done and got out.
I am completely satisfied with the way they handled everything. They were concerned about the finishing touches and they did an excellent job. Safe Step should keep all of them on the job - the salesman, the two installers, and the electrician. It's is so easy to get in our walk-in tub and I like the preheating the seat. I don't always get in there and run it full, though. I just get in there, wet my body, soap up and rinse off. It depends on my mood.

When I was purchasing from Safe Step, I dealt with a rep that was very nice. Although he was here quite a while, he did well in telling us all about the walk-in tubs. The installation of the walk-in tub took all day, but the installer didn't do a very good job. We had to have another guy to come in and do a lot of work that he didn’t do. The second guy was able to get everything up to standard but we still got a couple of things on the outside of our tub that keeps falling out. Another thing that I’m not too satisfied is the handle on the tub. They could have made it tighter and put it on the other side where our knees don’t touch it. We gotta be real careful. If our knee touches it, it’ll lift that right up. Other than that, everything seems to be well and I like the tub.

I had a terrible experience with American Standard. Their representative was not honest. She told me that my hot water heater was adequate for the tub but it was not. Also, I live in a complex with 200 units and the water coming to my area is not adequate. If I was to try to fill the tub, it would take 45 minutes. So my water pressure is not good and I cannot use the tub. She’s a very disappointing representative and she should have told me when we signed the contract that I could've changed the water heater and made the necessary arrangements. She also told me that they would have to get a permit to install the electrical. But after the electricians did the job, nobody ever came to inspect whether they had done a satisfactory job. So, I hope I don’t have any problems with that.
Other than that, the two men that worked on the installation were very professional and they did their job very well. But since they were responsible for demonstrating the controls on the unit, I wish they would have said that I didn't have enough hot water. But they didn't. Instead, they filled up the tub and it was not hot water.

I don’t like showers and I would rather sit and take a bath, so I started thinking about a tub. Safe Step Walk-in Tubs sent a lady out and I was impressed with the way she talked and everything sounded good about it. They installed the tub on a Friday and they told me to wait 24 hours to use it, which I did. When they checked it out, there was nothing wrong. It had no leaks. But the Saturday following the day of installation, I got out of the tub and my bath mat and everything around it was soaked. So, I called them and it took them a day to get out here. When they checked it out, they couldn't find anything wrong with it.
I was hesitant to use it after that, so I went back to the shower. But I was tired of that, so about a week later, I got back in the tub and everything was fine. I have a lady who stays with me and she woke me up the following morning to tell me I needed to get up. I had water pouring into my basement. The pipe coming in from the outside water supply was broken loose and there was about three inches of water all over my basement floor. This basement was a finished basement, not just a concrete floor. Everything in there was drenched, so I needed to get the things out of there before it started molding.
I called Safe Step and it took them 24 hours to get out here. I had to do turn off the water coming into my house. I’m not in a city, so we have a well and if you have no power and if your water’s turned off, you can’t use the septic tanks. When the guy checked the tub out, he found some type of valve that he said he had never seen before and they didn't use. He went to Lowe's and got something else and came back and put it back together and everything has been fine since then.
I didn’t like the way they handled the service though. When they called me from their main office, I told them that the guy who came here told me that the leak was all on them but the person on the other end of the line told me that he did not say that. I told him to shut up because he did say it and that I have a witness who heard him say it. But they just kept trying to put the blame somewhere else besides on them. Finally, I told them that I will not argue about it and that I’m gonna call my insurance company and attorney and they told me to go ahead. Overall, I love the tub but I am not happy with the company.

I was needing a Safe Step walk-in tub for health reasons. I had problems with the back calf of my leg that was in a bad shape. I knew the tub would be a big investment and if I was gonna do it, I needed to do that time. They offered a lot of discounts. The sales rep I worked with was very good and helpful. Meanwhile, the installers were informative and they took pride in what they did. They also did it as less invasive to the rest of my life. They worked in the bathtub and had to get all the other stuff out and widen the door. In the end, it all worked nicely for me.
So far, I like the jets that provide massage. I also like the heat. Another thing is that I learned that you don't put very much bubbles in there if you're gonna have jets because I bubbled up everywhere before the water could reach all the other stuff. I had fun though. Since the installation of the tub, my legs aren't cramping anymore so it's been a lot better. The Safe Step walk-in tub is a rare thing for me, but I'm glad I waited to get it.

The Safe Step sales representatives were great. They were very knowledgeable and it took the people who installed it just around seven to eight hours. It was quick. We got Safe Steps because their tub had the shower and the heated seat included. However, there are things that I don't like about the tub. One, the place where you stay in to take a shower is too narrow. Also, I haven’t figured out how to use the hand wand. I’ve turned every little stick and knobs, but I just can’t figure it out. I wish the door opened out instead of opening in because it is a very tight squeeze and it breaks your legs. I’m not that big, but I hate shutting the thing when I get back in. I really wish the door had an outside opening. I’ve seen advertised things with American Standard and they offer that option.
I’m looking forward to when I can get in and use the tub because I’m disabled. The tub has been installed since December the 14th and all I’ve got to do was take one shower in it. I’m suffering from panic attacks and I’ve had to use my other bathroom because if I shut the door and I fit there, I get the water about halfway up my shin and I start panicking. I have to let the water out and get out of there as fast as I could. It is a nice tub, though.

Our Safe Step rep went by a script. I was sure he was taught to do it, but I wish that we had more information and less of the script. I've sold things in the past, and I've learned that that's not the best way to be a good salesman. We didn't end up finding out about some of the things that we were curious about until later. Then, I had the most horrible experience I've had in a long time with the installation team that came. They were smart aleck. I have an office here in my home, and I have an employee, and both of us were really surprised at some of the smart alecky stuff that went on.
During the installation, the only time I went in there was when they took out our old shower. I looked to make sure that there was no water damage behind the old shower, and there was none. There wasn't even a ring where water had dripped, and I was really excited about that. When they were getting finished, they asked me to sign a paper. I signed it, but the paper said that I was completely satisfied and that there were no problems. They did some sheetrock damage and so I put it there. Evidently, that went to the home office and everybody saw it, so the man who is in charge in North Carolina called the installer. The guy from the installation team told that man that we had told him there was no problem with the sheetrock damage, and that we were getting ready to remodel the bathroom anyway, which was a complete lie. That was never said and there was no reason to say it.
The guy also told me that the home office called and told him that I called in and complained about the sheetrock. I told him that when I called in, I didn't even mention that. I also told him that if they record calls like they say they do, he'd find out. We weren't even complaining about the sheetrock, I just put it on the paper that there was sheetrock damage. We never asked them to fix it or said, "When are you coming back?" Randall and I had already agreed that we would fix it so between us, it was a moot point. But then, I don't like being lied to. That burns me up.
What I called about was a crease that was made in the place where the shelf joined what was already there at the tub. When my husband took a shower the next morning, the water went down that crease like a little channel and ran out into the floor, and he didn't know it. It went all into the guest bedroom and all over the guest bedroom carpet. I called Safe Step and told them that that channel was an issue, that we've never had water damage, and that we couldn't deal with water damage at that time. I also told them that I'd deal with the sheetrock, but I would not deal with the water damage. Randall was so upset and told me to tell Safe Step to get the tub. He was not having it. He can't even take a shower in it.
But the guy still complained. I told him that I wanted them to come out here and talk to me about my options and he said, "I don't have time to come out there." I thought, "Well, you got our check for $15,000. You didn't have to wait on anything." The guy told me that all he could do was put up an $11 piece of plastic. I told him I also wanted to talk about the glass doors and that I wanted someone to come and show me what my options were. He told me that he didn't have time, and so I told him to just take the tub back. I wasn't trying to ask for anything or to get anything for free. I just wanted to know what my options were. He then told me that he didn't know when he could come and that he'll call me and let me know.
He called me and said that he could be here by next Thursday. When they came out here, he came out with that piece of plastic that he bought for $11. He told me that that was all they could do, and to take it or leave it. I told him I wanted to see what it was, but he didn't even want to show me anything. I asked him how wide the door was and how it would swing out. I had a yardstick to see for myself how it would be because if the glass doors would look better, I'll get the glass doors. He took out a measuring tape. It's our secondary bathroom and it's a small one. There's a wall that protrudes out, and when he showed me the length of the door and how it went, that door would have been a real handicap.
When I saw that, I said, "Okay, well let's go ahead and try that piece, and if that works, that's fine." He told me that he needed some alcohol to clean the tub because there was a lot of soap scum on it. We've had a towel on it since day one because it leaked all over our floor. I didn't know what soap scum he thinks is in my house, but I didn't appreciate it. I guess he just says I'm a **. That was basically his attitude towards me. Also, he had his hands on Nicole's back every time he walked into the office, and she told me that she was creeped out. I gave him the alcohol, he put the thing on, and it has worked fine. It's not a problem and it doesn't look bad. As for the damaged sheetrock, they came back and dabbed some caulk there. But they didn't really attempt to fix the damage.
Overall, the tub is a great product and it's a huge deal for me. I love it and I'm in it every single day. My husband got it as a surprise for me. I was thrilled to death. I have bad knees and I have trouble walking. I stay inside the tub for two hours and I feel so much better when I get out of it. My legs are not swelling like they were. I would recommend Safe Step's tub to anybody. The installers, however, weren't worth a continental slip.

Safe Step Walk-in Tubs has micro bubbles feature that is unique and it seems to help the skin. It took the installation team 10 hours to install the tub. However, we had several issues as the installer reversed the dial from the foot to the back jets. They also banged the wall that I had to have a guy come out for that. And now, we are having problems with the stopper as it doesn’t seem to hold. We tried filling it up and it started leaking and will not hold very well. We have called and it seems to work now and then. I may have to have them come out again and see if they can do something better with it.
I also talked to somebody earlier right after the installation and told them that the headrest would be better if it was removable. We can go up and down, but it’s still close to the wall. It doesn't help my wife with her head the way her body fits with the height. It’s in the way and it would be almost better if we get rid of it. It was a shocker too that we can’t use the water jets and the micro air jet at the same time. When one is turned on, the other one goes off. I don't know what we would have done if we knew that in the beginning. I told the guy who called me right after the install about some of the stuff they can fix, especially the idea of having both jets going simultaneously. Maybe if they ever do a new model, it’s better they come out and upgrade ours.
In fact, it is the first time that my wife has been in a tub and I was surprised that the water does not go up high enough. I always thought it goes up at least to the shoulder so the whole body is emerged except the head, but it only really goes up to the middle of the stomach. It’s kind of disappointing. I went in there once and I had to scoot down. I don't think my wife can do that too well. Safe Step has to make it higher but I assume that would take more water. My wife said that when it was advertised, they showed women in there with their bubble-bath, but when you read the instruction, it says never use bubble-bath in the tub, so it was kind of odd.

I decided that I could try something like the Safe Step walk-in tub because of my age and because of my sciatica and pains. The representative at Safe Step was a nice fellow, but I was misrepresented as to what I was supposed to get versus what I got. I didn't get what I was supposed to get and I’m a little upset about that, and I may start legal action on this. I was negotiating with him for a price on a 51-inch tub and it had all the amenities in there. It had a free shower package and the outside towel on-the-door hanger, as well as a neck pillow. I wanted all of those amenities. However, I changed my mind for the simple reason that I have a tiled-in garden tub, and it is beautiful. That was where the new tub was supposed to go, but I figured that it will ruin all of the tile work. I have a tattered floor tiled down and it is gonna look like a patch-up job, so I figured I don’t wanna ruin that.
The representative said, “Well, I have a 48-inch tub that would do well in your present shower.” I said, “Oh, okay. Do I get all the amenities with the 48-inch tub versus the 51?” He said that I will get all of those, so I said okay. The day came to put in the tub and they did what they had to do, but upon completion, I looked at the tub and I said that I didn't have all the things that I wanted in there. The installer said, “Well, you contracted with them for a 48-inch.” I said, “Well, the representative said I was supposed to get that.” I was a little upset about all of those things. They gave me a call and said, “Oh, they’re gonna come in with a shower curtain. They’re gonna put in a pillow for the neck and they’re gonna find out how they can go ahead and put in a towel for the towel."
That is what we are in negotiation right now, but I am thinking of starting a legal action on Safe Step because I did not get what I was supposed to get. I got a call from one of their representatives and he said he was gonna try to get it all squared away. I called up the boss and I was a little hot under the collar, and he hung up on me. That surprised me and if that’s the way they gonna act to me, I’m gonna see a lawyer and have the situation squared away. I was also supposed to get the free shower package, which is being shown on TV.
I was watching TV and for a commercial came Brad Shaw, the football player, and he was soaking in the tub with all of the amenities that I want. Safe Step was saying it is a free package worth about $800, but I never got it. I also don’t know how they are gonna do it. The tub is already in and it is an older model tub. I negotiated for a Cadillac tub, and I got a used Chevy tub. My experience with Safe Step has not been so good. Right now, I’m at a low point.

Safe-Step's rep was very sincere and he answered all my questions. He did a very nice job. However, there was a confusion with the installation date and the installers were sick and had to cancel. We had three different installation dates and they could have done better. When they showed up to do the installation, the man told me that his regular helper was not available and had a young person with him.
There was also some awkward time. For instance, we live in a ranch house and they used such force to break up the tub that our house, literally, shook. We also had some leaking in our plumbing pipes that bore us an expense. We felt that it was knocked loose with the force that they used. We had to have a service call and we also had to call a plumber and pay to have some of our plumbing repaired. There was another gentleman that came out to rectify some things and I mentioned those things to him, although he wasn’t here and didn’t have any part of that.
I did not get the right shower installed and it is causing a problem now. My husband’s health is declining, but he is getting better. However, we do not have the shower that was pictured and the stand-up shower is not working for us. Nonetheless, the unit itself is excellent, although we have some issues sometimes. I would recommend Safe Step. I have talked to several people about the unit and I’ve had a couple of friends stop by to see it. We were happy with the experience of the tub itself.

I got a Safe Step walk in tub for my grandson who is partially disabled. He and his mom use it as part of his therapy. It took two days to install the tub because the techs needed to do some electrical work first. Safe Step sent out some electricians who installed what they needed in preparation for the tub installation. A couple of days later, the tub people arrived on scene and did their job in one day.
So glad we're able to help provide a safe bathing option for you all. Thank you for letting us know!

The representative from Safe Step who presented did very well. Plus, the walk-in tub seemed like it was gonna be more effective for my lady friend for some relief on her joint and muscular pain. During the installation, the team was on top of it and they were right on the ball. They knew what they were doing and took care of it. Having the tub gives some temporary relief to my friend and though it was really expensive, I like that it does not use as much water as a hot tub and it is compact.
Thanks for the message Thomas! Glad to hear it's helping some!

Safe Step Walk-in Tubs seemed to fit our needs so we went with them. They did a great job. The initial tub was marred, so they didn’t put that one in. A couple of weeks later we had a clogged drain in our tub, so we had to have that repaired. Then they came out and put the tub in, and they were done in a day. We had wonderful dealings with the sales representatives. Likewise, the installation crew was great and we had no problems with them at all. They were personable and got their work done. I like the rain shower of our new tub. I would definitely tell people get a Safe Step tub.
Great to hear! Hope you keep on enjoying!

I wanted a walk-in tub because of my age and I’ve seen the Safe Step tub ad of Terry Bradshaw. Since I sold my house in Pennsylvania, I had a little bit of money, so I figured that it's what I was gonna do - get a walk-in tub. The Safe Step rep was very nice. He also did a good job of explaining everything. The installation team was great as well. They were very polite and kind. They also cleaned up after themselves. It took the installers most of the day to put in the tub, but they did a good job. So far, I like the jets as well as the lighting. Before, my daughter had put a shower, and I was using that because I couldn’t step over the high regular tub. I would not take a shower until she came home from work. But now that I have this bathtub, I can go in any time of the day and sit in there for hours. I’m really happy with my Safe Step tub.
That's so awesome to hear Mary! Thank you!

I had seen Safe Step's ad in AARP and paid attention to it for the first time after talking with a realtor about us needing a step-in tub. She told us that one of her clients' biggest regrets in having to move into a retirement home was that she had to leave her Safe Step behind. The said realtor thought that a Safe Step tub might be the ideal thing for us. When the gentleman rep came out, he talked about their product and compared it with what we'd been considering. It was more expensive but it also looked like the best thing in terms of construction and ease of construction, as well as the value. We looked at it and it sounded like it was the best way to go. The installation then went well, and I was pleased. My wife enjoys using the tub, but I enjoy the shower part more. The only problem we've had with it is the remote control, which I think got left on and burned out. I called and we got a new one, and it's working fine.

I was recovering from cancer about a year ago and wanted a tub that wouldn't require my having to sit in a low tub (I didn't have the strength to pull myself out). I called Safe Step and they sent out a very nice man who sat with me for a long time and explained all the features. Of course, they wait until the very end of their "pitch" to bring up price. I told them I just wanted a "Plain Jane" sit down model; no "aromatherapy", or colored lights, extra Jacuzzi, etc. Even then, pared down, my cost was over $12,000. For a TUB. But I was so desperate, I went ahead and agreed to purchase one.
Several weeks before the scheduled installation, I received a call from them, saying they had to pull some kind of local permit - at a cost of nearly $3,000 more. That's when I said no. Enough was enough. I just couldn't justify paying over $15,000 for a TUB. So, I canceled my order. The good news is that I am better now, and can get in & out of a regular bathtub (for those times I need a soak). I really wish I could have gotten the walk-in tub but the prices are really jacked up, and they are ripping off the elderly and the sick. Buh Bye.
First let me say, it's amazing that you are better now! That's great to hear.
Let me also say, I'm sorry that the price was not aligned with what you had imagined. We currently have people who are brainstorming different ideas to make our products as enjoyable and easy for customers, as well as finding ways to make it less expensive but with the same, if not better, quality. I hope this helps change the way you see our business, as it is never our intention to take advantage of the elderly. I also hope you were able to find a safe bathing option, and I wish you the best moving forward!

One of the biggest reasons I bought from this company was the salesperson repeatedly saying, "Fills in 4 (minutes), drains in two." He probably mentioned it 10 times with no 'if' or 'unless' attached to that comment. My bath takes at least 12 minutes to fill so I end up sitting in the 'deep end' while it fills to be warm. A heated seat does not help if you're waiting that long for the bath to fill. I called customer service about a separate problem and told her about the fill time problem and the salesperson saying it would fill in 4 minutes. She said she wasn't there so she couldn't verify what he said. I asked her to look up the salesperson on my order and have him call me. No response!!! The salesperson said he only lives half hour away. He could easily come look at it. Disappointing, and frankly embarrassing when family members have been here. There is nothing quick about baths taken here.

Hi Kerstin, I'm so sorry that someone hung up on you while you were chatting, and that you weren't able to get the information you were looking for. The reason we cannot give price details or other specific details, is because everything determines on your bathroom (or the space provided). The total cost is determined by the cost of installation, and the installation details are figured out after inspection of the provided space. We do not purposely leave out those details, it is just that we genuinely cannot answer those questions because we don't want to give false information. It is completely understandable to not want someone in your home, and we wish you the best moving forward!

I started early October 2018 to get it fixed. I have had 6 cancelled appointments. It finally got fixed, but the repairman broke another part and after 1 bath, the first problem has returned. I am allegedly scheduled for 12/28/18. Not holding my breath. I got the company phone number from the young lady who sets up the appointments. They don't answer the phone.

I was interested in the Hybrid Tub/Shower by this Co... and being 66, on Social Security, my finances are limited. I specifically wrote in my email NOT TO CALL ME. I specifically asked if they could email me back just a general parameter of the possible costs - lowest to highest. I specifically said if it was over $5,000, that it would be beyond my financial capabilities. I specifically put in a fake phone number, fake city, and a man's name (I'm a woman).
The only thing that I put on my email to them was: my email address. The next day (Sunday of all days) - My phone rang sixteen times in a row, without ever stopping. I don't answer 1-800 numbers unless I can see a "Caller ID". No one left a message. After my phone would not stop ringing for over 10 minutes with the same 1-800 number, I finally picked up the phone. It was "Safe Step Tubs!" What a surprise. I asked repeatedly how he got my phone # - he wouldn't answer. I asked repeatedly what the price parameters were - he said he had to send someone out. I said repeatedly I couldn't afford very much, so we should not waste their time or mine if it could be over the $5,000 maximum I could afford.
I finally asked him to remove my phone number from the list, which he said he would. Today (Monday) - I get a call for a "Vickie". Safe Step Tubs told me they had gotten an email from someone named Vickie at my phone number. In other words, they are somehow finding out our phone numbers through a "Back Door". My Phone Number is unlisted. The BBB in N.Y. gives this company an "F" rating. The Supervisor I called today told me they have a "AAA" rating by the BBB. Obviously, this company has business practices too many companies are allowed - by our Protection Consumer Agencies - to play a "High Pressure" game to get: (1) A Stranger into my home; (2) Gaining our Personal and Private Information through whatever means they want and abusing it; (3) A refusal to value Consumers and their time; and (4) Downright lying about all of it.
If our Consumer Protection Agencies can't protect us from companies like this - where strangers come into my home - what is the point of having the "Protection Agencies"? Enough is Enough. When are you going to really start trying to protect us? Help us. And you wonder why Mental Illness is such a huge problem in this country. This affects our stress levels and our very sanity by allowing these lying companies and their unfair business practices.
Then we explode and everyone says "Why?" What is wrong with that person? Keep allowing these companies to exploit us, and the anger in this country will just get worse and worse. P.S.

I would never install a Safe Step walk-in tub!!! We are the third owners of the tub which was installed in 2011. Problem is that the lifetime warranty applies to the original owner only and once out of warranty the company is not interested in servicing your tub. The tub is prone to leaking as the seal will deteriorate and the company is not interested in even replacing the seal. We offered to pay for the repairs but were met with "We don't know anyone that would be interested or have the knowledge to repair it". Replacing the whole door was another option but there was no attempt to help us with this. The serviceman simply said it's very expensive to do this. Absolutely horrible customer service!!!

But I like that it was made in the United States and has a lifetime warranty. The sales rep was good. He showed us a bunch of pictures and how they were fabricated and made. And then he showed us some other ads of other manufactured tubs. His presentation was good and he sold me the tub. The installation team did a good job however, when I shut the cold water off on my bathroom sink, I heard the pipe rattle a bit. And that was because they took out the hard copper that was there and put in that PEX pipe. And so, I got a bit of water hammer but it’s not bad. Other than that, the installation looks good. So far, we’ve only used it twice. I need to put in a new hot water heater because the tub won’t fill itself up all the way with hot water. Nevertheless, we're happy with Safe Step.

The Safe Step Walk-in Tub's sales rep we dealt with was really great. He explained a lot, and I appreciated him. Our transaction went very well. The installation team was also wonderful. They were so polite and they just answered any question I had. And they just went right to work, and they were busy. They started around 8:30 and finished up around 4:00. I like all of the features of my walk-in tub. I have several friends that I have shown it to and they’ve been very impressed. they said, “Wow. As soon as we update our bathroom, I think we’ll be calling them.” I would recommend them.

Safe Step sent someone to the house and she was very knowledgeable and thorough. I liked her and I was ready to buy. The installation was good, but they punched a hole in the wall between the tub and the toilet. They patched it up a little, but they didn’t patch it to be of use. There's a rough patch white cement there now. My husband said he’ll do it but Safe Step should have completed the work.
I like the whirlpool part of the tub the best, but I don't like the part where you have it on your seat and you have to wait to get it on your back. I end up having water splashing all over the floor when I turn it on. But I have restless legs and the tub has helped with that. I also have back problems and it helps give me a place to go and relax a little bit and come out relaxed for a little while.

The Safe Step sales rep was very responsive and very knowledgeable about his product. The installers were really sure on their work and they made it look really nice when they finished. Also, they didn’t leave a mess and I was pleased with that. The tub has a lot of medical benefits from the use of the features. I liked the micro soft bubble feature of the tub and the jets in the back.
However, I have my hot water heater right next to my bathroom and it's in my garage. I thought it would be efficient but the water comes out cold when I first turn it on. It takes a long time for my hot water to get to the tub but that's not the tub's fault and that's just the plumbing in my house. But since it doesn’t turn out hot when I first turn it on to hot, I had turned the water on and forgot to latch the door. I flooded my bathroom and it seeped into my bedroom carpet. The warning is don’t forget to latch the door and it might be a good idea to put something in the tub to remind you to latch the door. Other than that, I'm enjoying my tub.

The Safe Step rep I had was new, but he knew exactly what he was getting at and what he was putting out. He did a good job. I didn't have a problem during the installation of the unit but I only knew that we couldn't get the shower handle up at two feet after the whole thing was done. I tried to take a shower, but that didn’t do me any good 'cause it's just about two feet there and it won't go anywhere but that corner. A young man came down here to check it out and he showed me that it was getting hung up around one of the posts underneath it. He then pulled it all the way inside and it came up six feet or more.
I asked him if he could come up with a method and put the thing up on the back wall and let it stay up there instead of getting tangled up every time we try to pull it out and he did. He has the part in his truck and he used it. It wasn’t easy and he was in and out for about two hours putting that thing on the wall but he did it wonderfully. Now it's perfect. It gave me a fine shower. I enjoy my Safe Step walk-in tub and it made a difference for me. I love the shower. My son took a shower in it once and he loved it. I'd recommend Safe Step Walk-In Tubs.

Safe Step is a very good choice for the elderly. And I felt safer. I have a huge shower and I can fall in there because I have a balance problem. If I shut my eyes, I fall over. So I have to feel along the wall and it was very dangerous. One day, I looked up for walk-in tubs on firstSTREET and I thought Safe Step had the most to offer. I liked the way it was written up. Moreover, the sales representative was great. He was the selling point. He was an older gentleman, and I am older so that helped. And he wasn't pushy. There was no pressure sales so I enjoyed it.
The guys who came to install the walk-in tub were fantastic. They were very conscious of everything. I like the way they covered up our floors and made sure nothing was disturbed. And the installation was very short. Four guys came in and then there was a guy in charge. He also helped hooking up the water. However, when I used it the first time, it got so hot. The control is set for 120 degrees. And you can go above that or below. But when I went below to find some cold water, there wasn't any. I turned it off and got out of there really fast. I then called Safe Step and they sent out someone to look at it. He was very pleasant too so I enjoyed him. He found out that the hot was cold and cold was hot. So he went downstairs and reversed the pipes. Since then, everything works fine.
So far, I try not to use the walk-in tub every day. I don't know if it's me or the tub, but it says that the microcellular emitters would soften the skin. I don't have to use anything like shower gels. But I was disappointed because I was fine when I came out of the water. In fact, I felt moisturized. But the next morning, it left me dry. It was not as advertised and it was disheartening. But otherwise, I love the walk-in tub. The fact that you don't have to worry about falling when you're getting in, you sit down and you have the massage. Although I would like to see it larger because I'm tall and thin and I feel a little tight when I'm sitting in there. Still, I have recommended Safe Step and everybody in the family is asking how I like it. I told them they need to get one.

I have total vestibular failure and I have tremendous ambulatory problems. I lost my inner ear function and I have trouble walking straight. I was afraid I was gonna hurt myself in the shower. Plus when I would take a shower, I would lay down in my regular tub, fill it up with water and enjoy the soaking. For those reasons, I thought I'd better get a walk-in tub to protect myself.

Someone called the house and advertised Safe Step Walk-in Tubs. We set up an appointment and we liked all the features of the tub. The sales rep explained himself well and he let us know what would be the benefits of getting it. He was telling us that it was good for high blood pressure which my husband and I both have. He also let us know that we had a lifetime warranty which is good and a nice thing to have. Since we are now seniors, we don’t like to continuously go out to buy things and pay to have things repaired. We also liked the safety features of the tub and when we compared it to others that are in the area before we made a decision, we found that to be the best for us. So, we determined to get the Safe Step.
The installation went great and the installers did a good job. They came in, did what they were supposed to do, and put back everything that they removed to get the tub in. And if there were any concerns that we had, a scratch or this or that, they fixed that. So far, I like the sauna of the walk-in tub. Sitting on it is also easier now that we're getting old. Getting in and out of the tub is a great thing, too, because with our old bathtub, my husband and I had to purchase one of those tubes to put on the side to help pull ourselves up when we were coming out of it. So, the Safe Step is safer for old adults and even to young people. I was telling my nieces about it because you can still fit and shower or you can stand and shower on it.

I’ve seen Safe Step Walk-In Tubs on TV and then I called. In my first encounter with them, everything was up to my expectations so I just went with them. The sales rep presented his speech and came through real clear. He explained what our option was and the advantages that we could take over the tub itself and the warranties. We hit it off well and he sold me pretty much on it. I was up watching during the installation and it was done very professionally. The guy asked me as far as the hook-up to my main box, where I wanted it, how I wanted it, and was very courteous about it.
My favorite feature of the tub were the jets in it for it is very relaxing for me. I have less pain in my hips and back. I don’t feel as though I made a mistake toward making that initial move, especially at my age right now. It restored my dignity. I don’t have to have my wife helping me all the time.

The tub is very good and everything about it works well. However, you have to not run your water too hot because you’ll run your hot water tank down. You’d have to adjust to that and learn how to not run it wide open on the jets, otherwise, you’ll spill water all over the place. Sometimes I just use it for a bath. I can use soap and I would lounge around the jets. And sometimes I would take a shower. It’s handy and easy. I recommend Safe Step Walk-In Tubs.

Safe Step Walk-in Tubs have a middle of the road cost, cheaper than some and about the same price as others but they had better features. Mostly, the sales rep was good except he screwed me up. The whole thing went well but I questioned about the drain because the old tub hadn’t been used in at least two or three years. I was worried about the drain being clogged. I talked to him about calling the snake people in and having them snake out the drain while the old tub was out and before they put the new tub in.
I told him that some outfits snake it. He said that he'd check and get back to me. The next day he told me that they snake out about 10 to 12 feet. That was all I needed because that gets me down to the basement where I had just got some plumbing work done so I knew it was clean from thereon. When the guys showed up to install, they said that they don’t snake anything. They also said that they don’t even change the P-trap unless the P-trap already in the tub is bad. Needless to say, they used their fish tape that they used to fish wires through the walls and ran it down as far as they could but that little fish tape didn’t do much of anything. Then, they went ahead and put the tub together so it shouldn't be a problem. They then filled it up with water and it didn’t drain.
I ended up having to call the plumbing people out. I talked to them and they said they'd talk to their boss. They were going to make the salesman reimburse me for having to have a guy come out to snake it because I could have done it ahead of time and saved a whole lot of time and trouble. By the time I got the drain guy out to snake it, the tub was partly installed. He went through the tub, the way he does on normal tubs, using a little snake and it couldn't clean out the clog.
They had to pull the tub away from the wall again so they could get to the line, then he snaked that but because of all the time involved, instead of being a regular charge, they charged me for an extra hour, which was 120 bucks and I ended up spending 359 bucks to get it snaked. And the guy couldn't get it done because the clog was too bad. I ended up having to get a plumber to replace that whole line. It was just a big nightmare. Then the installers came back and finished up the install.
They cocked it, put the back thing on it, and did all the rest of it. They were really nice but they had gotten a little upset when I squawked about it being snaked. And understandably so I was also upset but we had gotten it calmed and settled down. All we could do was what we could do. It's a good product. But dealing with the salesman not telling me what needed to be told turned me off. The installers were good guys and did a good job. I'm pleased with them. However, I'm not pleased with the communication between the salesman and the installers. Apparently, he didn’t even talk to them like he told me he was going to do. I still have other issues with the tub that I'm working on. I have a drain problem with my basement drain and the Safe Step drains too fast and it comes up in the basement. And my water heater is too small but I was told that I might have trouble with the hot water so that's no problem. I'm working on that too.

We had already screened two companies and found that the price was too expensive. The ad that I read described the local dealer of Safe Step Walk-In Tubs as something that might have used the word “warehouse” or “depot” that led me to believe that it sounded like it could be less expensive than the others. But we were already familiar with the system in general and the ad let me know that Safe Step had all of the features we were looking at, perhaps even more. The sales representative was excellent and very thorough and I found him to be low-key. We told him upfront that we had seen two other competitors and the price was an important factor to us. The tub is a cost factor, so it’s not gonna be something for everybody. I talked to our orthopedist about that and he said that if we got the disposable income, hydrotherapy is an excellent choice.
The installation was excellent. We had a crew of two and they came at about 8:00 in the morning. They did a very good job. The finished product looks great. They blended it in beautifully with existing tile and flooring and ran a vacuum almost continuously while they were sawing, which impressed me, to keep the dust down. There was virtually no contamination of dust anywhere else in the house.
My wife uses the tub more than I do and that was our purpose because she’s somewhat disabled. I have used it a couple of times and we both like the water jets that massage, as well as the very fine bubbles that clean. We have found that that’s a great system and it really does what it’s advertised to do. Almost everybody who sees this says they want one too. It is a big investment, but the primary point the salesperson made was what we’re doing is buying more time to be able to be in our home because of the therapeutic value. We still have a shower with a bench, but that was difficult for my wife to use and did not accomplish anything close to the cleaning that the Safe Step does. However, we’ve noticed, and I’ve actually heard this from someone else too, that the seat seems to heat only on one side.
We also don’t feel that adding an essential oil to the area where we’re supposed to add it really gets it into the water because we have a friend who sells the current kind of essential oils that people are using and she suggested putting it directly in the water. And when we do that with her essential oils, which may be more concentrated, we only need about three drops. I have put as many as 20 into the receptacle that came with the tub and I still don’t get the effect.

The Safe Step Walk-In Tubs salesman came out and we did visits. The salesman was not the best, but I wanted the product. I didn’t even need the salesman. I could’ve just called Safe Step because I wanted them to put it in. It was a lot of money but I could afford it. The installers were very nice people, but they couldn’t bring that sized tub through the bathroom door, so they said that they would just cut out the wall. I said, “You’re gonna do what?” And the three very nice guys were laughing. They literally took my wall away, put it in, and then they said they would take care of it. They were laughing at my face and that was because they were professionals. They knew what they were gonna do and they put the wall back. I have to paint it and I understood that.
However, the next day, I realized something that I hadn’t even thought about. My entire living room was covered in white plaster dust from using a mini electrical saw. The thing that came out was plaster dust and it settled all around my apartment. I couldn’t breathe the second day because I was choking and I didn’t know why until I saw the surface of something. I have been coughing for weeks and I had to bring in a service with masks to do a professional cleaning job and they had to move everything.
What the installers should have done was have with them a makeshift plastic curtain, put it around and then went to work. They should have worked on one side so it doesn’t go further than the floor, and swept up or vacuumed up. There was no stopping mechanism, so as they worked, they shot out lots of plaster dust. For me, it was exciting and it was something new that I was gonna have a walk-in tub, but it would’ve been so easy to not have that be the case.
I’m a big guy and it’s almost uncomfortable, but I wanted to buy it. And when I finally get to where I wanna be, it will make a huge difference. But right now, I squeeze myself in it to sit down and that’s not supposed to be that way, so I can’t really enjoy it if I’m just stuck sitting down. The service called me once and asked me how I like it. I told them I haven't used it and I haven't turned it on. I didn’t even remember how to. So, I finally used it one time only. I was in and out. I had to see, as I pull up the water hose, how to attach it to the thing on the wall so it becomes like a shower. I have things that I have to learn -- to keep the water in there and the non-shower, like the tub, to put the closure thing and just drop it on the hole.
I really have no idea how anything in there works. And unfortunately, I’m a partial one-leg amputee because I’m diabetic, so I have to hop. And that’s easy because I can fall back to myself. I would have to go through 25 steps before I get in. I have a chair in there and I lean on it, put my knee up, and turn around. Then I have to do the same thing getting out, so, for me, it is a real ordeal. I used to go in before. I have a long nice chair and I put two legs in the bathtub, and the other two outside. I slid over and I put the leg in the shower, and nothing was wrong with it. This product sounded very relaxing, and it’s supposed to be. But, for me, it’s a hassle. It’s so tight on both sides when I sit down and I don’t enjoy it. Maybe I will use it or not. And maybe that’s all that will ever be, just a brand-new, not-used walk-in tub to somebody. But the product looks good and it’s probably something that I’ll revalue if I ever decide to sell my condo.

I called and they said that it closes again with suction. A couple of days later, I went in there and it was back were it was supposed to be. I've already recommended them to friends. They came in and they said that the tub is fantastic. I also showed them the booklets that we got.

Safe Step Walk-in Tubs seemed like it was the best quality and it had the warranties on it. Also, what I read from the AARP reviews made my decision. The sales rep was great, very friendly, very comfortable, answered all my questions, and seemed very competent in his knowledge of the product. The installation also went very smoothly. They were there about eight in the morning and took about seven hours. My favorite features of the tub is the ease of getting in and out of it. My husband has a degenerative disease so it's easy for him right now, and it will be very convenient down the road. I would definitely recommend Safe Step to other people who are looking at that kind of a tub.

One of the key things that made me choose Safe Step is that it's all US made. I don’t buy anything that’s not US-made. Additionally, their sales representatives were very good. They answered all my questions and spent the proper amount of time to go over things. The installation team was fine too. They cleaned up after themselves and the installation was clean enough that I was going to put tile around it. I was happy with the installation where all I did was paint. It saved me $800. I also like that the walk-in tub got the door that you can walk in. I’m able to get in and the tub helps my back. You may be able to find something that’s less expensive but quite frankly and in many instances, you get what you pay for.

The Safe Step Tub is a great investment and I’m enjoying it. The company gives a lifetime warranty on their product. Everything ran smooth setting up with the rep and the installers also did a good job putting the tub in. They were very courteous and they were careful about my property. I've had the tub for about a month now and I like the jets in it as they help me relax. The lights in it are just right too.

A lady from Safe Step came out here and told me about the tub. She was really a sweet lady. Then, the installers came out to put the tub in and they were nice. And although it took forever to get it out here, the installers have done a good job. My tub runs, has sliding glass doors to it, and is a really nice one with its mirror. However, I’m not satisfied at all with it because it is too little. What I had before had this other part built on and we put the tub in before they closed it up and it was a whole complete tub together.
At first, I tried to get in the tub and I could hardly get in. It's not even long enough to stretch your legs at where you can even shave your legs. You gotta stand up and put in your feet in to straighten. I can’t also get relaxed in it because it’s so narrow. I’m almost 75 years old and I wanted comfort. That’s what I thought I was going to get but I’m not getting it. I can hardly get the door shut without moving my legs and squeezing too. I also understood it was going to have a bunch of jets in it but it ain’t got the 12 jets. It’s got two lights as well. It shouldn't be like that for almost $15,000 as that’s a lot of money for not getting the service. Safe Step could have done much more. They could have taken the back piece off as far as it goes and the tub could have been even longer.

The sales rep was great about explaining things and making arrangements for the delivery. Then, the installation team was a riot. There were three of them and they worked fantastically together. The unit is the same size as a 5-foot tub and they maneuvered it through a hallway and the door going to the bathroom, raised it up, went over the vanity, and into the bathroom. All that time, they were joking with each other. They looked at things and figured out how to change. The hot tub is a hoot to use at first. One feature I've used is the one which you turn on while you're sitting in the tub and the water is about to your knees and a jet would go off and take your flaky skin off. Overall, I've had a delightful experience with Safe Step Walk-In Tubs and I've recommended them to a friend.

I had two back surgeries. I saw Safe Step's ad on my cell phone and I thought the tub would be good for me. I had a regular tub and shower, and I had one of those shower chairs and it works alright. I had almost like a hot tub. However, I'm not happy with my Safe Step tub. The new tub is too small for me although I’m not a very large person. I’m 5’7” and 140 pounds but it’s difficult for me to move around in there and I can’t use the thing where you hook it onto the wall and stand under it because if I do that, the water runs off the side of the tub onto the floor. Also, I have a tear in the rotator cuff of my right shoulder, so it’s hard for me to reach up. And with the tub being on a hose, moving it around is stiff. It’s very difficult for me to shower in there and if I want to sit and get the water up to my chest or close to my neck, I’ve gotta scrunch down in there where I got my knees under my chin. The new tub isn’t serving the purpose for me.
I was satisfied with the salespeople but I don’t think they understood what my needs were and I didn’t really understand what they were either. The installation team was excellent and they were in and out in eight hours. They did an excellent job and I was very satisfied with their work. One thing I really like with the tub is the heated seat. But it doesn’t make up for the other problems I have with it. I can’t really sit in there and stretch and relax and get the full therapeutic value of the jets. I’m seriously thinking about having the Safe Step walk-in tub taken out and the regular tub put back in. All in all, the Safe Step walk-in tub is not what I need or want, yet I can’t give it back. I called Safe Step and I told them this and the guy told me to leave a message on his answering machine, and I did that. That was probably two weeks ago and I haven’t heard back from him since. The after sales doesn’t seem to be there.

We saw Safe Step Walk-In Tubs in a magazine about four or five years ago and called them. A gentleman came out and it was the same guy that sold it to us this time. He was very knowledgeable. All of his materials, in comparison to other tubs, were better this time around. The only reason we didn’t do it the first time was we didn’t have $12000 to spend. We also had Kohler, one other company, and American Standard come out. I did a lot of research and American Standard’s lowest price was $18000 plus. They gave a free toilet that was computerized and had a bidet but I told my wife that for the cost of their tub, that toilet is not free. We’re paying for it. And Kohler didn’t have the quality. The thing I liked best out of all four tubs we looked at was Safe Step is American-made and assembled here, where all the others were made outside and assembled here in the states.
We put money down and paid online for Safe Step. The installers were supposed to be here at 8:00 but they got here at 7:30 in the morning. There were four of them. The guy that headed the crew had three other crews and I watched them and they were very professional. Then, by 1:30, they were out of here. So far, my wife really enjoys the tub and she loves the light. Ladies like sitting in the tub and she really enjoys the jet. The one she uses the most is the microbubble and she really likes it. The only thing is when we use the aromatherapy, we put all the drops in, but we don't smell anything.
When the presentations came, all three or four people looked at the water tank. I’m surprised that when the guys thought we had a 50-gallon tank, they didn’t say anything and only one said that I’m gonna need a bigger tank. We didn’t know that for the size of the tub that we got, we needed an 80-gallon or more water tank. There’s not enough hot water for the possibility of two or three showers and we have to schedule my wife's bath later in the day. And I have to watch doing dishes or laundry and I have to plan everything so that when she takes a bath, she has enough hot water. We’ll get a bigger tank later on when this one goes out.
I would highly recommend the tub and cleaning is really easy. With American Standard and Kohler, I had to clean the jets and everything once a week, but with Safe Step, it’s once a month. And it’s with a spoonful of dish soap and Clorox. The salesman said that in their home, they use scrubbing bubbles and when they’re done, they just spray it on and rinse it off.

They weren't here that long and we would never have known they were here except the tub was in place of the old one. It's a nice tub.

They took the commode out, and they had to take a door off in the bathroom, then they put all of that back. And by the time they left, the tub was in, ready to use, and everything was back where it was supposed to be. They did a wonderful job. I like the heated seat and the water jets. I used to dread taking a bath because it was so hard for me to get in and out of the bathtub. I would just take a 15-minute bath. Just get in, get out fast as I could. Now, I go in the bathroom and I'm in there for an hour. I love the tub and would recommend it to anybody.

Safe Step isn't installing their tubs very nicely with the outside framing. They put inexpensive plastic all around my tub to finish it and it doesn’t look finished nicely for a $13,000 tub. I told the installers where to put the tub in my bathroom as I wanted it more even with my shower and it would sit back about eight inches from the edge of my rug where my original tub was. Then I had them leave open the end where they could have covered it with plastic. I happened to have some old tile that the builder left in my house in 2005 and I have just enough to put tile around the front of my tub.
I also had Safe Step's installers put the concrete board that you put under tile around the edge of my tub. Then, I’m having a Corian dealer make the top edge that goes around it to match some other shelving around my shower. So, it would look like the tub is sitting on tile instead of sitting on an unfinished rug. It would cost me extra to do it, but on a $13,000 tub, what’s a $1,000 more if it makes it look better and fit into the room better. It would be nice though if Safe Step has tile people that could do this without me having to hire a separate tile person. Then when this is finished, I'm going to send my salesperson Mike and the installers a finished picture of it to show them how it looked better with the bathroom if you tile it to make it look like the rest of the bathroom.
The installers were fine, though. They had to put the installation off for a week since it snowed one day and they couldn't install it when they originally planned to. But we got it done. They also did exactly what I asked them to do. I just did not want plastic board put around it. The tub itself works very well. The only problem I have is that my hot water tank is not big enough to totally fill it. I had asked Mike about that but he kind of didn’t say anything. He did admit though that it should have two 50-gallon hot water tanks and I only have one.
Still, I would recommend this tub to friends who have bad knees like I do. I like hot baths and using the tub has helped the circulation in my bad knee. I just had stem cell shots put in my knees and I couldn't take any anti-inflammatories so my knees stay swollen and all you can do for it is to put heat. This tub is very easy to get into as well. You have a lot to hold on to so you don’t have to put up a lot of grab bars like you do in a regular shower or tub and that’s important as we get older and more feeble.

When we inquired with Safe Step Walk-in Tubs, I told the person we talked to on the phone that we weren’t interested because we wouldn't be able to afford it. But I said during the conversation that if they want to send their rep out, we will talk about it, but I also said that we won't probably be going anywhere. The rep got here and we talked a little bit and then when he was about to leave, he said about showing us the tub's features. So I told him to show us and I was impressed with the tub, the features and what it might mean to us personally. While the price was four times more than what I was expecting to pay, but we went ahead and bought it anyway.
However, when I bought the tub, the salesperson said we were getting the new one and it included a headrest. But when we got the tub, we did not get a headrest and we had to have it come in. Furthermore, the headrest I received has a bracket with five little cups on it. And it’s about four inches wide and the ledge on the tub is more than an inch and a quarter wide so it doesn’t work. Also, the pictures I see of the new tub which I thought we were getting was the 2018 version. In the pictures, the headrest is mounted on some chrome tubes and the ledge is quite wide.
Apparently, we didn’t get the tub that I was told we were going to get and I'm wondering why we didn’t get it. Other than that, the tub uses an awful lot of water. And our water heater wasn't able to fill the tub completely with hot water. It's 40 gallons and if we want more hot water, we’re going to have to put in a bigger storage tank.

Our $14,864.00 unit was installed on January 23, 2018. This is March 20, 2018. It doesn't work. It never worked once for us. The only time it worked was when the installer showed us how to use it. The seat doesn't heat up and the jets don't come on. The water runs in and the water runs out. That was routine with our old tub. We have called 4 times for help and are always told that help is coming. It never comes. No one ever calls us back. Back in 1970, our house cost $10,000. This Jonah cost up almost half again as much. We should have never paid cash - should have put it on a card. Take that as a warning. The next step will involve a lawyer. Do you really want me to put this review on my social media - Facebook?

I had a Safe Step tub installed in my home and was given a two year warranty with no extended warranty available. The tub does take a lengthy time to fill and my tub takes on average 15 minutes but only four minutes to drain. The jets work fine and aid me with my arthritis issues. The other nice feature is that you can use a variety of aromatherapy packages. On the negative side I recently had an issue with the motor inside the tub which turned out to be defective and I wound up paying close to $200.00 for service. I was told that the technician would call and set up an appt. but that never happened. He showed up and proceeded to replace the defective part BUT his English skills were awful and he failed to leave me a receipt.

The tub itself is wonderful but does take about 15 minutes to fill. Bring a book to read. The installer did a great job although he was a bit of a hot head. Lost his temper very quickly when asked to do something. The company is one of the worst as far as returning phone calls. You have to call over and over again to try to reach anyone.

Problem is way tub drains - very slowly if at all. FIRST no one told installer about adjusting screw on bottom of tub drain stopper which can be adjusted to lift stopper much higher than left with us after final inspection - causes drain to be much slower if not adjusted to maximum stopper height when lever at tub top rotated. SECOND is that drain activation lever at top inside tub is mechanically defective such that when chrome outside lever is secured to the operating shaft in the tub thru flange for the drain lever the set screw on the lever (which seats into a hole in thru shaft) is out of sync and pulls lever into tub body so tight one can not turn lever. If left a little loose it just fails to operate (such that my wife who really needs tub functions almost drowned trying to empty when it was filled with her in it). (Need a diver's aqua lung rig to get down under water and pry up drain stopper.) So very, very poor product engineering.
Trying to fix via Contractor and local distributor (Fresno Kitchen Bath Plus) has been a real disappointing process. Contractor pushes warranty onto distributor and distributor pushes warranty onto manufacture. Thus a lot of useless time has been expended and investment in tub features is zero return so far. Plus I do not think Contractor was familiar with installing as no access door left to service water valve and such on tub front (the small tubs access door in tub in front side will not cure the problem, all it does is give you a good visual of what is there but [useless] for M&O. Anyway problem will eventually get solved (I hope) but seeing a very expensive and medically needed feature useless every day is not making matters better.
I suggest you not install this product - find a Contractor that knows what they are doing as M&O will be needed sooner than later (access doors) and find a supplier that is responsive time wise after they are paid in full, and look for a better and SAFE Engineered drainage system that is foolproof as one cannot open door when full of water. Will reserve opinion on how it actually works and functions when they finally get it fully and SAFELY operable.
