Walk In Tub Brands You Can Trust: The Four We Install, Compared

Since 2012 we have installed and stood behind four manufacturers. Here is what each one does best, how they compare on warranty, sizes and therapy, and the honest reason we do not sell the brands you see on TV.

The walk in tub brands we install, and why these four

We have sold and installed walk in tubs since 2012. These are the manufacturers whose tubs we would put in our own parents' homes: proven shells, warranties that mean something, parts you can get in ten years, and factories that answer the phone.

What we don't sell

Why no Safe Step, Kohler or American Standard

Nothing wrong with the tubs. The problem is the channel: those brands sell through in-home appointments and pricing that changes at the kitchen table, and dealers cannot publish or itemize the numbers. We only carry brands that let us quote a written, itemized price by phone or from photos. Here is what that costs you with the TV brands.

How to pick a brand in five questions

  1. Who is bathing? Wheelchair or caregiver transfer: Ella Transfer series. Larger bather: HD 3555 Plus or Ella TransferXXL. Small bathroom: HD 2645 or Ella Mobile.
  2. Made in USA matter? Hydro Dimensions and Bestbath.
  3. Therapy? Skin: microbubble (HD PureBubbles, Ella). Joints: water jets. Relaxation: air. None: a Meditub soaker with a heated seat.
  4. Warranty and parts? All four are lifetime or 30-year on the shell; HD adds labor on self-installs.
  5. Installed or supply-only? All four ship to your plumber with the schematic; we install all four in every state.

How To Choose The Right Walk In Tub Brand For Your Needs

Selecting the right brand and model is incredibly important. There are many important variables to consider here. Do you want it made in the U.S.A.? Do you know whether an acrylic walk in tub or gel coat tub is right for you? With numerous options available, choosing an option that will fit into your bathroom and work for your particular needs is essential. We offer several extra spacious deep soaking walk in bathtubs, as well as numerous smaller more compact step in tub units. Getting a step in bathtub that has all of the options you want should cover some important first questions to ask. For example, whether or not you desire hydrotherapy jetting, whirlpool jetting or even colored mood lighting. There are several great safety features available as well that should be considered such as step in height. Many elderly bathers prefer a bathtub with a door that has a low step in height. This can potentially make it easier for a bather to get in and out of a bathtub. Water temperature control (TMV) is another accessory that many elderly bathers have installed to take the guesswork out of the walk in baths water temperature. No matter what your unique needs are, Aging Safely has the right option for you. Our trained senior bath representatives can help you choose a walk in tub model that is just right for you.

Questions

Walk In Tub Brands You Can Trust FAQ

Which walk in tub brand is the best?

There is no single best. Hydro Dimensions is the pick for USA-made, lifetime shell and the most sizes; Ella's Bubbles for wheelchair transfer tubs and the deepest therapy menu; Meditub for value and simple controls; Bestbath when a roll in shower is the better answer. We install all four in every state.

Are walk in tub brands all made overseas?

No. Hydro Dimensions builds in California and Bestbath in Idaho. Ella's Bubbles and Meditub import acrylic shells and finish and assemble in the United States.

Why don't you sell Safe Step, Kohler or American Standard?

Those brands sell through in-home sales appointments with kitchen-table pricing that dealers cannot publish or itemize. We only carry brands that let us quote a written, itemized price without a sales visit, which is usually $8,000 to $10,000 less for the same class of tub.

Which brand has the best warranty?

All four carry lifetime (tubs) or 30-year (Bestbath showers) shell warranties. Hydro Dimensions goes further with a 1-year labor warranty even when you install the tub yourself.

Which brand is best for wheelchair users?

Ella's Bubbles: the Transfer26, Transfer30, Transfer32, Transfer60 and TransferXXL all have a 36 inch outward-swing door that lines up with a wheelchair. For full-time wheelchair users a Bestbath roll in shower is often the better choice.

Can I buy any brand supply-only?

Yes. Every model ships supply-only with the factory schematic and free tech support, and free shipping to the lower 48 applies to many models.
