    Everything went well during the installation of the Safe Step Walk-in Tub of Larry who has been in my care for over years now. I couldn't have asked for better people to install it in this home. We've had a lot of theft as people who have come in and out have picked up anything that's not nailed down and tried to walk out the door. None of that happened with any of the kids who installed the tub from Safe Step.

    One time though, I put Larry in the shower to clean his bottom half. Then, I took him out of the bathroom and put him on the bed. All of a sudden, I heard water going and I saw that someone had messed with the controls of the Safe Step. I couldn't figure it out so the water ran all night long. With Safe Step, I've gotten nothing but cooperative people when I talk to them.

    My fiancée liked Safe Step Walk and we decided to go with it. When the first guy walked in, I showed him what needed to be done and what the salesman said would be done. He then looked on his phone and saw all the areas marked out that needed to be done. The installers were gonna rebuild my floor and reset the commode. I got a new commode and sink. They were gonna put that in for me. They were also supposed to lay an underlayment underneath the tub because it was original wood. The guy said that he wasn't getting paid enough money to do that job. I told him to pack his bags and get on down the road.

    I called his company, and his company called me back, and that next week, they had a crew out there that knew what they were doing. The second crew that came out did a good job. They got here at about 7:30, started at around 8:00, and finished up at about 5:00. I like the shower and I found using Safe Step to be good. I’ve got one leg, so it worked out good for me. And my fiancée is a stroke victim, and it worked out well for her.

    I saw the advertisements and checked into it first thing. Safe Step seemed to be the best one to try. Their rep was very nice and polite. I knew I wanted it before he came. But he was very thorough and handed me the whole pitch. On the first day, everything was fine. But all of a sudden, the water started coming out cold. I had a stroke and I haven't been able to take any bath at all because of that. But when I take a shower, I have all the hot water I need. I called and got some woman on the phone who said she was busy. I was very upset. Although I was only able to take two baths in my Safe Step, it was wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone.

    They're all the same and I wanted the Safe Step shower. The installers got the job done, but they didn't fill in where the drain went in the floor and there was a hole. They also need to watch the caulk on their fingers when they touch other stuff. They got it on one spot on my dryer, but it's all right. I got it off. I'm too big for the tub though. We got it so that I won't fall down and the door hits my knee.

    The salesperson was knowledgeable, and he was very courteous. He worked really hard and made sure we got what we needed. We had a little trouble right after we got the tub though. The next day the electricity hadn't worked and they sent another guy out. With what was going on with the state shut down, he wasn't able to get here until about three weeks later. Anyway, when I get in the tub, my husband supervises me if I'm okay. I'm a chronic pain patient and when I get done, I'm very much relaxed.

    The Safe Step salesman, Mike, was a great salesman and a good guy. He kinda convinced me it might be the way to go. The only thing that bothered me was that it was pretty expensive and it wasn’t something I was gonna use a lot. But my girlfriend convinced me that she would like it and that had a lot to do with the purchase. The thing that I like most about the tub is my girlfriend loves it. She soaks in it by the hour and she's satisfied that I bought it. I've used it a couple of times and it’s complicated to get it going the way I want it. I love to shower and it’s not a great shower facility. I wanted something simpler so I could stand up and take a shower and maybe sit down. I have neuropathy. My balance isn’t real good. I wanted to get something where I could kinda hang on when I take a shower, which I can do in my shower downstairs. It’s good quality. I just think it’s a little too complicated for me.

    The sales rep was great. He had all the information there and he was good in demonstrating the walk-in tub. The installation was great too. It took a couple of hours and it was easy, professional and a good job. The two people cleaned up after themselves as well. I recommend Safe Step.

    I had a tub installed last year. After a month the tub started making a loud grinding noise when no one is using the tub and the water didn't stay warm. I have called, emailed, chatted and messaged for the past 5 months trying to get service to contact me and come out. NO ONE will call me back, they just say they will forward my information and nothing. Don't trust them. They are NOT worth it!

    The Safe Step Walkreps was decent. He had his routine and stuck to it. And ultimately, even though it was more money than I wanted to spend, I still did it, because the product seemed a little better than a couple of others that I already looked at. The installers left a couple of rough spots here and there, but for everything that they had to do, things came out pretty good overall.

    I had a couple of features that didn't quite work right. When the installer left, I called him about a problem that I was having and he never got back to me. I wound up having to call the main store and telling them what the issue was. I waited for several days and didn't get any response from them. But they finally came back and straightened everything out for me. Safe Step pretty much upheld everything they said they were gonna do. The area they had to get the tub into was tight. They really did the best they could to get it in there and accomplished it. Salespeople looked at it but it was nothing the actual installer coming out and saying, "Uh-oh, what are we gonna do here?"

    My wife wanted the Safe Step because she was no longer able to step up over the tub to get in. She couldn't even get in to take a shower. She has used the Safe Step several times and enjoys it. No matter whether she's sitting in it, taking a bath, or taking a shower, she's able to enter and exit it okay. The only drawback is that when you're taking a shower you have less room to maneuver around than when you had a tub. We wish we could have a little more room there.

    When I found out the cost of Safe Step, I figured it was probably on the high side compared to some of the others. But then, it had some different features so I just went with it. The rep seemed to have all the knowledge. He went through the whole brochure and told me about all the features, which ones most people went with and why some people didn't go with all the features. He seemed to have the answers and I didn't doubt him.

    But when it came with the installation, I was a bit on the disappointed side. I knew from the sales rep that when they came in, they were gonna have to take off the door jamb to go in through the bathroom. But I didn't think that that would be a messy job. I didn't go in there and watch them do it because it was a crowded space with two technicians and there was no room for me. So I wasn't aware of exactly what was happening.

    But after the fact, I realized that they had to do some cutting and get the tub fitted in after they took down the old tub. So, when all was said and done and they appeared to do some wiping, I saw the tech sweep. But after they left, I looked around and my whole bathroom was a mess with a layer of dust. I have open shelving where the tub was installed. I have five shelves full of linens, medications, shampoos and toiletries. Adjacent to that is an open-door which was my walk-in closet. Everything was totally covered in dust, including my clothes and all the boxes I have stored in there.

    I also noticed that they had something on the floor because they did that throughout the house as they were dragging things in. But they did not put up anything and if they did, it was totally ineffective. I'm not physically capable of cleaning up that mess and it's not all cleaned up now 'cause I didn't wanna take all the boxes down off the shelves. It was a horrible mess. All they had to do was say something and we could've worked something out but they didn't say a word. Also, the floor in the bathroom has laminated wood on it. When my daughter washed the floor, it's not as shiny as it used to be and it doesn't wash up even. I'm totally disappointed and if somebody asked me about Safe Step, I would tell them of my experience with the installation. It was not cool at all.

    I also had a little problem with the remote. The sales rep told me it's waterproof. But when my grandson took a bath, he dropped it in the water and it did not work. There was orange stuff dripping out of it. I called the company and they sent me a new replacement one, which I got in a timely manner. Then when they were installing, the technician had forgotten the cushion that fits on the feet. He said he had one in the truck and he would bring it in before he left, and he did not do that. I told Safe Step about that and they also shipped it with the new remote. They rectified the problem right away. The product itself is fine and I have no qualms with it. But it's hard to get the whole tub filled with warm water and twice, while somebody was in there using the tub, the breaker shut off. So, all of a sudden, I'm getting there in the dark with no action on the tub.

I can turn the water on and it would be hot enough but not boiling. They said they could do it and when I went to use it and turned it on, everything did come out fine. The tub works great. The heater is in the floor and the sink and they adjusted the water so that it’s the same temperature all the time. The installers were in and out. It was much less time than I thought it was gonna take and they installed everything perfectly as far as I can see.

    I have pretty bad arthritis. The salesman told me that before Safe-Step designed the tub, they went to an arthritis place and talked to see what was more needed for people with arthritis. The installation went pretty good and the quality of their work was fine. The crew was here for a part of two different days. They seemed very nice and they did their part. I checked with them every once in a while and then they had started putting something down that I did not order. The surround was a different color than what I’d ordered so that stopped everything. They had to reorder that for me but they were fine with it. We got it back to exactly the way I ordered it.

    The Safe Step tub was very expensive. But it's a good unit. I have everything that's supposed to come with it, the color, and then it has the heated seat. I was under the impression that it had a heater but it's not the heater exactly. It heats up the tub and it keeps the water from going cold. But it just barely warms because of my water heater. I need more hot water and I have a hot water heater ordered but it hasn't come in yet. There are also two grab bars on it.

    The sales rep was a nice guy. The first week and a half that I had the tub installed, I didn’t use it at all because the drain part was busted and the water wouldn’t go out very quickly. They tightened it up too much and it busted. But somebody came and replaced it. So far, I’m the only one that’s seen the tub and I can’t really enjoy it simply because of the 55-gallon that goes into it. So much water goes in it that it doesn’t hold the heat. But it has nothing to do with the tub. My water tank is too small. By the time it gets halfway up, the water turns cold and I almost freeze to death. So I gotta get a bigger tank. I've only used the tub twice and if the water was warmer instead of getting kept chilly, it would be great.

    The salesman was so professional and he was able to describe each single feature and why that particular feature is done superior to other brands. Not only comparing to other brands, but how they came across developing the improvements over years and how they would go to different places and get their opinions and they would prove on things. He was so knowledgeable in his product. We were just wanting to get a tub, but the things that they had with their microbubble thing would be perfect for dad’s skin. We bought it for my dad. With the videos that they showed us, they really, really sold the product and we’re very happy with it. Whereas the salesman from Kohler, they were mainly selling the brand. We wanna know if Kohler is a good brand, but he didn't really sell the tub, and it was twice the price of Safe Step. So it was almost like they were skating on their brand.

    The installation went smoother than we can have imagined. I thought it would end up being a two-day job, but they got it done in about six hours. My father is very, very particular. He was the kind that would buy homes, fix them up and sell them. He’s really knowledgeable and you don’t want him looking over your shoulder. But he was very, very impressed with the installation. He couldn't believe they did what they did so cleanly and there wasn’t a scratch or nick on the wall.

    My father was scared to take a shower and we kind of were guessing that he might’ve fallen and he did not tell us. So now that we have the walk-in tub, our comfort level is so much better because now we’re not afraid of him falling and not telling us. As far as his comfort level, he is like a little boy. The first time he used the bath, he had me sitting right outside the bathroom in case he needed my help because he was a little unsure. After that, he would call me up every day to tell me that his skin had never felt better. He was so excited. So I know he is definitely comfortable.

The whole unit is warped and I don't even think it's a tub. And it's been four months but they never came out to fix it.

Their work is good quality and I had them add the safe water ozone cleaning system feature on the tub. No other company had it and it's my favorite feature so far. When you have sores, they condense oxygen molecules into tiny molecules and they're positively charged. As the skin is negatively charged, when it goes right into your skin, it goes pop and takes the germs out. All in all, I was very satisfied with Safe Step

They did a really great job and were very, very thorough. They did everything in the same day. They left by 4:00 in the afternoon. Quinn, the sales rep has also been wonderful. I’ve called and he talked to me. And there’s a couple of things I want. I didn't get the cushion that goes in my seat. He said he’s gonna get that to me and then he gave me the liquid. But I don't think I'm gonna use a lot of that because I have asthma and I don’t like a lot of scent. But he said he thought I could. He’s very sweet.

    The only thing is the time when you get in. You get the bottom jets going and you wait for the tub to fill up for about 20 minutes, and then the time letting the water out. That was when I would stand and have a shower. Also it says you gotta fill it up once a week to clean it with some Clorox. I haven't done that yet. And we haven't used the tub that much, but I am planning on getting on it. Old people just don’t move as fast as the young people do. But my daughter loves it. I have nothing against the tub.

    I’ve told everybody, “You need to get one.” And I said, “Let me know if you wanna check it out because I’ll give you a paper and we’ll send Quinn out.” We also had Kohler come out, and I said, "It’s just the difference between the sales rep and the performance and then taking you out to the van." Kohler is just no comparison, and I wouldn’t recommend them at all. But Safe Step I would.

    I purchased the tub due to a diagnosis of cancer of the hip bone. I am tall and expected the bathing area to be cramped. I purchased the tub. Very nice rep; tub was made, delivered in an acceptable time frame and was installed in a day. Installation mess was fairly well cleaned up, but for the basement area, where I had to clean up from the drain installation and the electric work. All in all things are okay.

    The installation person demonstrated tub but never suggested that I do it. Also he DID NOT turn on the big shower. HAD HE, I WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TOP OF THE TUB DOES NOT have a drain channel to run the water into the tub, instead the water follows the tub’s caulking of the installation and runs onto the floor. I think the shower deal was an competition, second thought. I had to fix a ”dam” to stop the runoff from going onto the floor. For the most part, I had to buy one and this relaxing. Other companies were much more expensive and not ready to comprise pricing. Safe Step’s price was satisfactory.

    My Safe Step Tub is working nicely. However, before the installation, I told the sales rep that I wanted a heater but when he transferred it to the computer, it wasn’t there so I didnt get the heater that was supposed to come. I needed to speak to the installer and he told me to look it up on the contract. He wasn't there to provide me phone numbers.

    I have a fill-in piece behind the faucet to the wall, because my space is larger than normal. And the way that it is installed, I have to put a towel because water then drips on the floor because of that extra piece that is caulked into place to cover up the empty space. The installer is going to come back and recaulk when he is back in the area. Other than that, I love the tub.

    My husband loves our tub from Safe Step. He has degenerative discs in his back. Even with the shower being the way it was, it was unsafe for him 'cause he'd slip. So, he's prone to falling 'cause he loses his balance, so we got the Safe Step for him to be safer. I also liked what they had to offer. The sales rep was very informative and he didn't pressure, the item sold itself. He explained all the advantages of it and how it would benefit my husband, and then all the discounts that would be affiliated with it because he qualified for certain things. He was just a very pleasant man. The installation went great. They came in, put it all together and had it up and running. They were very professional. We had no problems with them at all.

    Safe Step has been out there long enough to have cleared up any kind of problems so as far as any kind of working apparatus, we thought we'd go with them to get a walk-in tub. The rep we had was great and he answered questions for us that especially pertain to our family. Then the installers came early and finished quickly. There was one part that was broken so they had to bring another. When the tech came out with the part to fix it, I asked him where the shut off valves was. and he showed me. He said there was only one and that I needed one on each line. They came out again and installed one.

    The installation was pretty exceptional as far as making it look like it fit in that area so we were pleased with that. Also, I've used all the features but the air bubbles really relax me. I can feel my skin. I have sinus problems and I don't know if it had something to do with it but I can sit there with the air bubbles around and it feels like I'm surrounded with something that's generating my skin.

And then, the girl that gives my husband a bath comes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to help clean the house and give him his bath.

The only thing is, the reps at Safe Step balanced the numbers a little bit wrong. $14,000 is a lot of money and my first payment was 200-and-something. I was told that I was gonna pay $188. They got three extra charges that I didn’t know about and I wasn’t told about.

    Safe Step said that they gave us a discount for the hot water heater because they said we knocked it out. But now, the hot water heater isn’t big enough to handle that tub. They need to inform their customers how big the hot water needs to be. It gets to about two inches above the seat and then, it turns ice-cold. It's not very comfortable to be sitting in the water that way but I like the bubble bubbling around my back. I get into the tub, sit down and be comfortable while taking a bath.

    When we were buying the Safe Step tub, we didn't hit the price till the tail-end. The rep said the first process was to get me all these discounts. Then he asked me how I was gonna pay for it and I said we would pay by check. He told me he could give me $1,000 off. I asked him if 1,000 is the interest and if it was, then it should be 2,000. He said that AARP gave them high ratings and that the tub is good for older people. But I thought if AARP was giving them the A-1 rating, then why wouldn't they give us a break and give us 2,000? Though the discounts helped, it was cut in half. I was wondering why he wouldn't tell me upfront that if I pay cash, then I'm gonna get this discount and if I refinance it, then it won't be available. He snuck it on me.

    Even though I liked the rep and he was knowledgeable and he spoke clearly and explained everything, the discounts were the types of things that I'd like to know. I would like people to tell me upfront. If he gave me the price before, I probably would've said no. He told me it was gonna cost quite a bit and that it would be about the cost of a small car which I thought was around 16,000. But in the end, it was 23,000 which is not a small car but a big car. I had no idea what those walk-in tubs cost. I never researched Safe Step but I liked what it was advertising, as far as therapy with those spray things, which I thought my wife would benefit from.

    Also, when the rep came in and talked about it, he said that there were only about three companies in the nation and they're all USA-made, which was a big plus for me. The tub looks good and so far, it hasn't leaked. The two people who put it in were nice too. I got the impression they did this a lot 'cause they seemed to be real good at it.

    Plus, the cost of having the shower afterward was really high. When they advertised it, they can add that when you buy it for $800 and then about 2,300 to add it after the fact is exorbitant. What the tech did was strictly a plumbing and caulking job and he didn't have to tear the wall apart. It took him six to eight hours to do that.

    We had an interest in a Safe Step Walk-in Tub for a long time because we moved from the north in Virginia, down here in 1996, and we had a house built. It was the only house we’ve ever had built which was one of the mistakes that we made. That tub that we had there was too small for me. Neither one of us felt comfortable getting in and out of it at all. I was in it one time and my wife was never in it in 23 years. So, it was waste of space, and the shower that’s in that bathroom is fine for my wife, but it’s a little small for me. I didn’t feel claustrophobic, but I thought to myself, “Just one of these days, I’m gonna fall down in this shower, and I’m not gonna be able to move to get up.”

    The way our house is laid out, the other bathroom has a much larger shower in it. It’s just a shower, but it’s as long or as big as a tub. But because of the way our house is laid out, it never gets used. So, the only time it gets used is when we have guests. That’s our fault. We had looked into a walk-in tub a number of years ago and we just decided it was too expensive for us. But then, the more we lived in a house that had a corner with a regular tub in it with a few jets that never got used in 20 years, we decided we needed to do something with it.

    The thing that I liked most about the Safe Step sales representative was he lives real close to us and we were able to go over to his house and take a look at his tub. We got a good first-hand view of the operation there. Plus, he was very knowledgeable. He’s a little older fellow. Not quite as old as I am, but older anyway, which is something he just picked up after doing something else for a number of years, and he was real good at what he did. Also, the installers did a nice job. There is one little place in the wall right next to the tub that they chipped out but it’s no big deal. Even somebody with the limited ability that I have with my hands could fix that.

    I like that I don’t have to worry about falling down getting in and out. That’s the big thing. The back jets are what I like best about it. My wife and I both have lower back problems. It has more jets in it than the tub that we had, and I like the shower that’s in it. The one we looked at before was just a walk-in tub. It didn’t have a shower. The tub has solved the problem for us in terms of safety, both from the size standpoint and from the be-able-to-walk-in-and-out standpoint. It’s going to be very beneficial to us in terms of being able to use the whirlpool features in it.

    I had a question whether or not we were going to replace or get a larger hot water heater. After filling the tub up a couple times, it’s plenty warm enough, but if we needed hot water again immediately, it wouldn’t be there. The tub probably has more capacity than what our hot water heater is. So, we need to replace our hot water heater probably when this one wears out. When we have to replace it anyway, we’ll just get a larger one. I’m trying to find out and I didn’t find out from the fellow that sold us the tub. We live in a subdivision. There are about 400 houses in here, and I was just curious to know and I didn’t find out if there were any others in the neighborhood because eventually, when we sell this house one of these days, that’s going to be a big benefit to us. But other than that, we are pleased with the tub. It’s an expensive item, but it’s going to be to our advantage. I’m gonna tie my wife up and throw her in there to get her to use it one time.

    The one thing I didn't like, and I guess we might have missed it, was that if they put holes in the wall, they patch it but they don't come back and match the paint. I didn't notice that till a day or two afterwards. I called and they said, "It's in the contract that we don't do that." But they should have reminded us upfront. I said, "We could take a couple more dollars off to have somebody come in and do it." But they said no. Nonetheless, the tub looks nice and it seems to work well. Other people have come in and they seem to really like it. It was costly, but my wife could really use it since she's disabled.

    The Safe Step walk-in tub is a great tub but there's a few flaws in it, and the installation was so-so. They put the tub it in there a little crooked. It's got shelves around it and I told the guy to make the shelves where they drain back in the tub, but he got it where when you take a bath, it runs water out in the floor. The pipes to the shower should extend out about four to six inches more where it gets the showerhead out in the tub to not blowing water all over the place. I think they've got the same shower fixture for all sizes of tub, and it's made for the small tub. I got the medium-sized tub which puts it too far to the front.

    Also, you gotta have the tub filled up to the overflow or the jets on your back shoot water all over the place. But then if you slump down in the tub to get the jets fired up on your neck or something, you run all the water out, and when you sit back up, it shoots water all over the place. You got to remember when you sit down to turn the jets off before you get back up in the tub. The jets should have been a little lower in it keeping it from coming out of the water when you sit back up in the tub.

    Another thing is they don't have any detent on the shut-off on the water valve. So, if you just barely touch it, it turns the water on. It turns one way to go to the shower and it turns the other way to go to the faucet, but there's no detent on the off position. You just try to center it up and get both of them to quit leaking. If you're cleaning the tub and you bump it, you end up turning the showerhead on, giving you a bath while you're cleaning the tub.

    They also need the drain to position where it cams over and locks in the open position because you gotta sit there and hold the drain open until it gets down to about half before the drain will stay open in the bottom of it because the force of the water going out pulls the drain close. I called them on that right after I got it and they said I could adjust it. Well, you can adjust it, but you get to the point where the drain doesn't close.

    For the price they're charging for it, you would want everything to be perfect. And they're not charging a small price for their tub. You also need to have a good water heater to run this tub. It has to be better than a 40-gallon water heater. I had a 40-gallon water heater, which is as big as you would get into the hole I have, but I ended up spending another $2,000 to put in an inline water heater so I can fill this tub.

    The Safe Step sales rep was very polite, but he didn’t give us a choice of the tub that we could pick out. It was our fault because we did not ask him what kind of choices do we have. The installation team was great. They came in, they cleaned up and they were polite too. And any furniture that had to be moved in order for them to bring the tub in, they put it back in place without any problem. I like that Francis can sit down and enjoy taking a shower in our Safe Step Walk-in Tub. His favorite feature is the jets. He’s getting a massage with it. I like everything about it. I just wish it's a little wider because the way the door is, he can barely get in. But it was our fault. We should’ve asked for a door that swung out instead of one that swung in. The only problem I have with it is when you let the water full almost up to the top and you put on the back jets and sit on it, it hits your back and the water comes over the top of the tub.

    I did research online and there was some independent study that recommended Safe Step as the top one for people with arthritis. It was very good with the sales rep, except for the fact that he said it takes about three minutes to fill up, and that’s way off. I was a little skeptical at the time, but it takes about eight minutes. It takes three minutes to drain, but I know he said three minutes to fill up. And so, that was a little disappointing to me. The installation team was as nice as they could possibly be, and very professional. I had some electricians out that were working on something else at the time. My house is 100 years old so it’s a lot easier to put stuff on the outside of the house than it is inside and through the house because of the plaster walls. And so, the installation team took the wiring outside, and my electrician noticed and told me that he believed the wiring was not up to code for the outside of the house.

    So, I talked to the installation guy about it and he was not aware of that. But my electrician had previously been a building inspector and was extremely knowledgeable. I also had an electrician out there not to check on the Safe Step guys but for other reasons, and he just happened to be looking around, seeing what he was doing. Anyway, the Safe Step installation guy went out to Lowe’s, got the wiring that was recommended by my electrician and redid the whole thing. I appreciated that a lot.

    I like the tub's versatility of being able to use it as a shower or tub. But I haven’t really fully utilized it yet. And that seems pretty silly since I’ve had it for a month and a half but there have been mitigating factors. I had my whole bathroom renovated from top to bottom by my contractor, and there’s still some caulking that hasn’t been completed. Plus, we had a bunch of out of town company. But one of the big reason I haven’t been enthusiastic about it is the water temperature. It says there’s an override feature and I haven’t been able to get that to work.

    I tried doing research online to find out and I never did follow up on it, but there’s a safety mechanism that restricts the temperature to 102 degrees and that’s just not very hot for me. 102 is just too cool for a really soothing, therapeutic bath for me. I would much more enjoy it if it could be a little hotter. It says if you turn the temperature knob a certain way, that you can override that safety valve and you can get it hotter, but I have not been able to get that to work.

I haven’t heard a hi and hey from him since then. Also, it took the installers longer than it was supposed to do the installation, which I understand. But when they sold it to us, I was told it was gonna be a really simple installation. We just had the condo that we just bought painted. It turned out that the installers needed to cut a couple of holes in the ceiling. Now, I gotta get those plastered and repainted. This was unbeknownst to me. And that may have also shorted them the correct splash guard the correct color so they used a different color from what we had actually paid for.

    Other than that, the tub seems to be okay. It’s working pretty well right now. I haven’t used it that much but my wife’s used it a little bit.

He was gonna be here for a week in September, so I asked for a specific date in September. Unfortunately, I got a call about two weeks before the date from some lady at the company. She called my cellphone and my house phone and we were at Walmart. I didn't answer the cellphone, I didn't really recognize the caller and didn't answer the house phone.

    When I called her back, I had asked for the date about September the 15th, which at the time was almost six weeks exactly from the time I signed the contract. She said that I didn't answer the phone, so they gave that date to somebody else. She said I can do it the following week and I said that won't do me any good. We ended up not getting it installed till December the 4th. That was the worst of the experiences. The installation went very quickly and the installers were very professional. They knew what they were doing and even talked to the guy about replacing the water heater.

    I've had some minor trouble with the tub and I've had trouble getting ahold of them. I get quite a number of spam calls. So I didn't answer the calls and return calls. I never could get the person that called me. I finally got ahold of them and they said that they've had somebody signed up to come out and fix them. I got a call this week to come out. The customer service wasn't the best, though they were polite, but the tub is great. It's bigger than the tub that was in there so it's much easier to get in and out and get my wife cleaned up.

The only complaint I do have about it is the size of the tub as far as the door. I'm sure there's a special reason why the door has to swing in, but I wish it would swing out, only because once I get her in, it's kinda hard to maneuver around there to close the door. Even her being 98 pounds and five-foot, she's got little legs. I have to have her sit down and then move her knees way off to the side so that I can close the door. And then getting her out, opening the door, I have to tell her to sit down and then get up. I've used it to shower, and the shape of the door is awkward and the length of the tub is kind of awkward with the way the door swings. If the door swung out, that would be perfect.

But the installers said they don’t do that. I’m just using the shower now since I don't have the bathtub yet. I still have to get some things to put it in but I like my tub.

    I looked at American Standard and some other company, but Safe Step's promptness in returning my call made me go with them. The installation got a little rough. We had trouble scheduling. It was around Christmas. So that kinda got crazy. They ran into problems at a previous job which delayed them coming when we were scheduled. So then that just had to be rescheduled. Once they got here, it took them two days to install it, which was okay because I was free the next day. They advertised that it's a one-day install. So it needs to be emphasized more, that it's one or two-day install. But they did an excellent job.

    We're loving the tub. It's very easy to get in and out of. I'm loving the heated seat. When you sit down, you're not cold. Everything about it is great. We have the aromatherapy which is wonderful. The lights are fun, and the microbubble is very impressive. We like the shower too. It's nice. As you're emptying the tub, you're able to stand up and shampoo your hair. I like that too. The reason we got it is we have a handicapped daughter. She is 35 years old and yesterday was the first time in her entire life that she asked to take a bath because she's loving her tub so much. It is always been a fight getting her in the tub, but now, she's loving it.

I feel so rejuvenated when I use the tub, especially when I get out. I also like the microbubbles. But I get really upset that we have to keep resetting my controls. I called one time and they told us how reset it, but it’s getting to be more often when we have to do it. Every time it rains or we have a bad storm, we have to reset the tub and it’s getting on my nerves.

    In the bathtub, my wife would get dizzy. And if she was standing up showering, she has the mat there but then it still might slip. And she would get dizzy bending over to pick up a rag or soap. So, she had the lady from Safe Step come out and we looked at everything. The sales rep was great. She went detail by detail, explained everything, showed us everything and how everything should work. I found out a few other benefits by having it also. And when they put it in they did the same thing. They went over everything and showed us how everything worked. The installation went well. I looked at it. They dug it out, cleaned it out and put all the pipes. They insulated it and then they finally came down and got the tub and put it up in there, and in another two hours, they had it just about ready to go.

    I got one objection against it though. It’s where you hang the middle shower. It twists and then it just falls over and it needs to be tightened up, and I don’t see any way to tighten it up. But I like the bubbles and the jets. It’s also a whole lot safer and when you go in there, you’re comfortable and not afraid to do what you have to do and you can sit down or shower.

    We had been wanting to get a tub and I wanted one that had a shower. My husband is having some mobility issues right now, so this was something that we were wanting to get into in the future, but we decided to go ahead and do it now. The sales representative from Safe Step was good, very friendly, funny and he had a lot of information. It just bothered me that they wouldn’t give me a ballpark figure. I called because I wanted to know how much the tub was but they would never tell until somebody comes into the home. We weren’t looking at doing it right now and my husband hates having people come into our home. I know that they have to get into all of the details but that always kinda drives me crazy because I feel like it’s supposed to be this big surprise. Lowe’s have walk-in tubs and I could look them up so, I could get an idea of what a ballpark figure is, but Safe Step was the only one that had the stand-up shower.

    I wasn’t looking for all the other bells and whistles. I didn’t care about the chromotherapy and the infusion therapy. If it hadn’t been for the fact that we really wanted a tub like this, when the rep from Safe Step wouldn’t give me any kind of price on the phone or give me any kind of detail, I probably would have just hung up on them. They could have told me the range and the basic. If I wanted to get all the other stuff, they could have someone come in and tell me all about the wonderful features. Then, we could decide for ourselves. With this, it’s kinda forced on you. I don’t like playing games, and this is what it seems like to me. They should have enough confidence in their product to give you the information that you’re asking for and then trust that if you are really interested in this, then you would decide to have them in your home, and you invest in presentation.

    The two gentlemen who came out and delivered the tub were very friendly. They were very forthcoming with the gentleman that put the tub in and very helpful. Safe Step is a better quality tub than what you can get. It has got more to offer than what they have in Lowe’s. I like all of it. I like being able to soak and we ended up getting the chromotherapy. I haven’t used the infusion thing yet, but the lights are kinda nice. I probably still like the shower the best. I’ve never had a hand-held shower before. I always had a stand-up shower, and this has both and I like that. The only thing that I’m not happy with is it’s very expensive. You could get the basic tub for $2,000 at Lowe’s but the basic from Safe Step is $10,000, which is a big jump. Right now, they’re saying that the shower package is free, so they’re not even charging for that. So, that’s what they’re charging for the tub, which is a bit high.

They should redesign the top of the tub part or the showerhead that’s coming up because you're standing there and you got the curtain all the way pulled, but the water just comes underneath it up on the hob part.

    I had always wanted to know how much walk-in tubs cost. I saw Safe Step advertised and I thought the time had come. I couldn't get in my bathtub. I scheduled somebody to come out and the salesman was terrific. The guys who put the thing in were great too. I never saw anything like it. When they came and checked everything, they said it would be a mess to bring everything in my house because of the way my house was. It was hard getting everything in the back door, making a turn and making a thing to the hallway.

    Also, about 20 years ago, we put in this beautiful one-piece tub-shower thing. There was a window that they closed off with siding and junk and they put the one-piece tub shower thing. It was gorgeous. When the Safe Step installers came in to work, I thought it was gonna be a nightmare. But what they did was that they took the siding and the insulation off, made a great big hole where the bathroom was and broke up the beautiful one-piece thing that I had. They took that out through the house and they had stuff on the floor so that they wouldn't make a mess. Then I don't know how they did it, but they redid the setup. They rebuilt the wall. After they took the actual tub, they had a guy outside putting all the stuff together and then they lifted it and put it in the room.

    They got here around 7:30 and they were gone by 4:00 in the afternoon. They didn't even take lunch. The four guys worked like clockwork. There were no arguments. Everybody had his job. I sat in the living room and did nothing, and when they left, the bathroom was gorgeous. You wouldn't know anybody did anything. It was really unbelievable. What a fantastic experience. I really was expecting a stress-filled day but it wasn't at all. When my daughter came home, I told her to look outside and see if she would notice anything. She said it looked exactly the same. She asked if the installers had not come. She thought she was gonna come in to see a mess as well and she couldn't believe it. It was like they were never there. Not only that, they were really nice guys too.

    For somebody who loves baths, the Safe Step tub is really great. My problem is is that I don't like baths. I never did. By the time I wanna get up there, I'm bored already. I have to sit there and wait for the tub to fill up and then do the jacuzzi. So what I usually do is I get in the shower and I let the water run until it covers up to my calves then I use the hand shower or I use the shower-shower. But the tub really is a stress reliever and it's just very convenient. At least I can be clean now. There's also a little light in that tub and it's really nice. It warms up the seat. If you like to sit in a tub and the jacuzzi, it's really out of this world. I'm really satisfied.

    We were introduced to Safe Step tubs by Bob **. Oh he gave a great spiel and that is exactly what it was. If we had been smart we would have said no right from the beginning, but we really wanted a new tub so we went with it. The tub we wanted and thought we ordered was sent to a warehouse in Florida and we live in Vermont. Keep in mind this was in September. The installers finally came on October 30th. They arrived at 8am and were here until 11pm.

    The tub they installed was the wrong one. We wanted an out swinging door we got inward. No headrest, no remote and no towel bar. The shower bar was in the middle of the tub so that's where the curtain hung. We purchased a new bar that was curved. It helped some. The weep drain was never hooked up. They left a big hole under the tub and no insulation. Tub was not level. Caulking was poorly done. We have been trying to get these issues taken care of. And we just get a big run around. SO DISAPPOINTED. It has been 4 months and nothing. My husband and I both have health issues and was really looking forward to this tub. I have fallen in a tub before. So like I said SO DISAPPOINTED.

    My husband, Charlie, doesn’t like the Safe Step and doesn’t wanna use it. At times, he will have issues and will want me to come in the bathroom. If he just got over a hematoma in his leg and it was hurting really bad, he'd want me to come in the bathroom and be in there so he’d feel safe in the regular shower. Also, neither one of us can get up and down in the tub. I really was hoping that the Safe Step tub would be good for him. He did too and was disappointed with the whole thing.

    The first time he was in the tub, he soaked for a while, then he took the wand and showered off. He ended up with water on the backside of the tub and it ran down to what I call the front of the tub where the faucets and stuff are. Then it ran off the shelf and on to the floor. When he finished, he had a mess to clean up and was not a happy camper. To him, he would’ve restructured that so it wasn’t sloping off. And the installers didn’t make it even with the tub. I put a towel to catch the water the next time he used it, but it was soaked so he just quit using it. I talked to Eric and he understood, but he said they didn't have that many issues with people.

    I like the microjets. It is nice as far as your skin and I have noticed a little bit of difference there. But I also have issues with the tub. I’ve had surgery on my back, the whole way down, so I have some tension and some tightness in my muscles over on my shoulder. Also, I am tall and I have long legs. For me to get down in the water enough for my shoulders to soak and get the jets on it, I have to have my knees all the way down to the end of the tub. But when my knees are clear to the end, my feet or legs are bent back somewhat, and my toes are jammed against the end of the tub. I used to have a hot tub a long time ago and I could get in that, stretch out, relax, and go to sleep. The Safe Step is not totally relaxing to me, to be that cramped in trying to get situated where you’re comfortable at.

    I haven’t been in it in weeks and Charlie hasn’t either. We both would rather go take a shower in the other bathroom. I finally decided to get in last night. I sat there relaxed but my toes started bothering me. So, I moved them and my feet and got a cramp in my leg because of the position I was in. I didn’t have a clue that Safe Step had them longer than just regular-size. I don’t know what could be done, if anything. Eric said he would take care of it, but I haven’t heard back from him. I’m glad that we got a discount, but still, $15,000 is a lot of freaking money for a tub.

    Safe Step had one of their installers drop off our tub for us. We went over a couple of details and we installed it ourselves. That experience with them was wonderful. The front of the tub is made of a thinner plastic which is made to pop off all over the place. I have to put it on and it's a little bit flimsy. I also have to caulk around it. It is really made for remodeling projects. But people still have new constructions. If Safe Step can come up with models for new constructions, that would be a benefit as it would look better cosmetically. It would also be stronger from the very start.

    There is also a nail flange at the back of the tub. Most tubs for new constructions are put in before the sheetrock. The installer slides it in and the sheetrock goes over a flange and keeps it from moving. With the tub we got though, it’s designed more for tear-outs. This tub is for our girl who is having a hard time with regular showers. With this tub, she doesn't have to step over anything. It has a seat as well which makes it a lot more comfortable for her. She uses it sitting down and with it, she doesn't have to worry about falling.

    Looking at different advertisements and construction and so forth, we decided to go with Safe Step and that was why we canceled our appointments with the other ones. We also had a very good interaction with the sales representative. Then, everything went beautifully. It took a little longer than expected but that was fine. He came back on the third day and he finished it up by himself. He did a good job. Now, I can soak a long time. I love hot baths.

    Our sales representative from Safe Step was real sweet and friendly and she really explained everything about the tub. She stayed with us for a long time.

    The installation was okay. It’s long, but then it takes a long time for that to put it in. The only thing is I thought they left our faucets and everything that we had in the tub because it was that gold tone, but they took them with them. We had one piece that was there and my husband said, “I want to keep that,” and we had it in a bag. So, we thought we had it all in the bag.

    Somebody came and wanted it because they bought the shower door and it was bronze with the gold around it, and they wanted the pieces. When we were gonna sell it to her, there wasn’t anything in that but one piece. I guess they wanted them and they took it with them. Overall, with our new walk-in bathtub, I can take a shower now that I couldn’t because I can use the hand shower. I like the jets. They’re really strong, but I told my daughter I could get drowned in there because they’ll knock out that seat if you don’t hold on. They have some strong jets. Safe Step is great. We like it.

    Safe Step's price made me choose them. Their sales reps were okay with a little high-pressure, saying, “If you buy it now, we’ll give you this discount. It’s only good for today.” And I don’t like that very much. The installation team knew what they were doing. They installed it within a day which was fantastic. Most of the other places say they would take a couple of days. But they came in, got it done and they cleaned up really good, and they were gone within eight hours. Everything went good. I like the jacuzzi part of it, but just the being able to get in and out of it.

    Safe Step's sales rep was well-spoken and he obviously knew what he was talking about. Only, he was a bit wrong about the size of the water heater. We discovered that we don’t have as large enough water heater in the house to fill up the tub. If we had known that we needed a 100 gallons, I don’t think that would change our mind. We still would’ve got it. Other than that, the guy was very polite, soft-spoken and a very amiable kind of fellow. The installers were very nice people too. The installation was very good, but we have to deal with a leak. We don’t know where it leaked, underneath someplace and came out in the ceiling of our kitchen. We haven’t made a phone call yet and we are waiting for the holidays to be over. Otherwise, we like it.

    Eric, the Safe Step sales rep that came out, was all right. He's got money to make too, but the absence of information is what did this because we've got a tub that we can't use now. We got it for the wife who is obese and a diabetic, but we couldn't get the door closed. I went out on the internet, picked up some information and stuff on it. I knew it was not gonna be an easy install. Apparently, they have three different sizes of tubs that we didn't know about. We were hoping to fit a new one in there, because the one that they put in there was awfully tight. Safe Step was supposed to get back with us. Eric said he'd see what they could do about this. He's gonna have to come out and make some measurements. Our address is remote. To get to us, they have to come out of Denver, Colorado.

    We called Eric on Monday and he said he'd get back to us. By Monday of this week, he hasn't called, so I called the main office and they said they'd get back to me the same day, and I haven't heard back from them yet either. I used the tub once, but other than that, we're stuck with it. I had plumbing and stuff set aside so they could do all these. The guys who installed it were professionals. They were young, ambitious men, and they went to work and they didn't mess around. They were good workers.

    I'm disabled and I have a brain injury, so I wasn't able to comprehend all of the instructions. I have to get the manual out and go through it 'cause I know there were some things they said about what to do and not to do. While the electricians were good, the installers didn't put stuff back where they had taken it from. So, one bedroom is a mess with all the other stuff in a corner. They could have put some of the stuff back where they got it from. As far as the inspection, we need to have it rescheduled and make sure that the electrician is here because these county employees will not wait. We tried to get the inspection, but the electrician was not here and the inspector could not wait for him. I even tried to get him to wait so I could call to find out where the electrician was, and he just said no and he was gone.

    My wife and I both have problems with our joints and things in old age. We thought maybe a tub like Safe Step, with all the water jets in it, might help us loosen up our joints. But so far, we haven't been able to find out because we can’t get it full of hot water. When they sold us the bathtub, they should’ve told us the size of the water heater we’d need. I've got a 53-gallon tank and I thought that’d be enough, but it is not of sufficient size to fill the tub with hot water so we're gonna have to put in a new one. That’s an expense I have to have now. It’s also a discomfort having to wait until I can get a plumber out here to redo the water heater and get rid of a perfectly good one in order to get a bigger one. I'm dissatisfied with Safe Step.

    We spoke with a representative on the phone about the Safe- Step -Tub. We agreed to have a sales person contact us which contacted us the same afternoon. The price and installment information was explained to us in detail when we had our meeting with the salesman. He measured everything and helped us decide on the best option for us. The installation went exactly as we had been told, in and out in one day with the finished work completed as explained it would be. We love our tub, My husband has Parkinson's and I have Fibromyalgia. This tub has made such a difference in our lives. I no longer worry about my husband falling while bathing and the soothing jets give me relief with my worse days of Fibromyalgia. I have called with questions twice and received a call back within the same day. Would recommend this company and this tub to anyone.

    I purchased a Safe Step for my mother. She's 85 and has limited mobility, so we were looking for an easier way for her to get in and out of a tub. We went with them because they do their own installation, and so we liked the fact that we were not buying a tub from one place and have someone else install it. Also, we liked the overall package. The sales call was great. We were well already sold on it, so he didn’t have to convince us very much. We made the deal on his first sales call, and they scheduled the installation very promptly -- it was installed within three weeks. They had a crew of three guys who came out, and they started at eight o’clock in the morning and they were gone before 3:00 in the afternoon. When it was done, it was perfect. My mom enjoys the tub and it makes her feel safe. She is always taking baths, and she can take baths again. We are very pleased with it.

Everybody will want it, everybody can’t afford it.” So, I just tell others about it. If they’re interested, I tell them to call Safe Step and see what they’re gonna offer.

    I started noticing black mold coming from jets recently. Also, now I have gnats and fruit flies breeding in jets. I've called numerous times. I first called when I suspected a leak. My carpet was damp. They told me if they come out there would be a charge. At that time I didn’t notice mold or gnats. Approximately 2 months later problem escalated. I have exterminator come to my house quarterly to spray in and out for preventive maintenance. My problem has gotten worst. This almost $20,000 tub I purchased has turned into a nightmare. Customer service is not existent. They are RUDE! The company states in contract lifetime warranty. But, they offer me no help. I have been bleaching tub 5-6 times a day. Problem still exist. A pest control company said I probably have a small leak that has created mold and gnat problem. They refuse to give me CEO email, etc.

    I'm absolutely furious, I'm ready to have this tub torn out. The two fine young men came and put the tub in. They worked very hard even late into the evening to get it done. The salesman, however, lied to me. He told me that the tub would be all right in there with my commode, but it is not. There is a door, then on the left side, there is another door that has got the step behind it. It is pushing that open about an inch, so there is not really a room for it in there. It needs to have a smaller commode which I will have to find to get in there. I don't blame the kids because they were wonderful. But, they were also supposed to leave me a book so I would know how to use it, and they forgot it. But that was partly my fault, too.

    The first time I got in to use it, I filled it up, thought it was wonderful, and then I couldn't get up because I couldn't open up the valve to have the water go out. So, I was in the tub for about two hours until I finally got someone from customer service who told me how to get it open -- I went from about three different people. It was too hard to open, so my husband had to open it up for me. But we did get it open. I've had one bath in it since I've got it, and I'm not taking another one until I get a book and know how to use it.

    I called Brian who is evidently in our area, and he was wonderful. He got somebody named Chris that was going to come out and see what was wrong. We had him scheduled for a meeting one day, and then I had a procedure that had to be done. I had to call Brian and tell him that the guy couldn't come because I had to be in the hospital at that time. I've called Brian a couple of times since and asked him could he reschedule this guy. I would never recommend Safe Step to anybody, and I wouldn't keep the tub myself if it wasn't already in. I'm ready to have it out of my home and have them put back what they took out.

And when he took it out it's kinda cheap made stuff, and it kinda wore out the screw holes. So the second time the door was opened after that it fell off the hinges.

    I’m 85 and I've had sciatica and spinal stenosis for a couple of years now. It keeps getting worse and I can’t take any medication for it. So when I heard about Safe Step, I thought it might be ideal for me. I ran into a problem when I tried to get in by myself. I couldn’t manage to empty the tub. I called the company my first time in and they told me they would have the installer call me. This was two days after it was installed. That was 11:30 in the morning on a Thursday, and then I didn’t hear from anybody till Friday at 5:00. I ended up calling the fire department to help me get out of the tub because my husband is handicapped. He’s been living for 55 years with MS and he tried to get in the bathroom and help me bale it out with a little bucket but we weren’t successful. And because of the arthritis in my hands, I couldn't open the latch to let the water out, and it was a mess. I sat there for about an hour, and of course I got cold.

    The installer called me and said, ‘I heard you had a problem.” I said, “Yes, I did, yesterday morning.” He said, “I’ll be over there in 20 minutes.” He came in and he didn’t know I was sitting on the bed in the bedroom where my bathroom is. I was sitting on the bed keeping an eye on him and he was on his hands and knees in the back of the thing he had taken the side off, and he was doing some adjustments in there. There was something amiss in there and he closed everything up. He didn’t know I was there listening and watching. He was surprised and said, “That won’t happen again.” I said, “It better not.” And he left.

    There was another instance. I'm in a condo here in Pembroke Pines and when you install something like that, you need to have a ticket. While the techs were installing it the first day, the condo police, our guard Mike, and another man with a flip board came in and said, ‘Where is your permit?” I said, ‘I don’t know.” I asked the installer. “Oh, you gotta call the office.” I called the office. "Where is my permit?" They said, "We’re gonna e-mail it right away.” I said, “Don’t e-mail it to me. My printer is not working.” I just got that permit yesterday. I raised hell which didn’t do any good. It was frustrating for me. They were supposed to deliver them the day before, and I was supposed to have the inspection today. I wouldn't recommend this for any other 85-year-old. It’s really hard on the nerves.
