Foldable Bathtub Portable Soaking Bath Tub for adult,Ideal for Hot Bath Ice Bath with Reached Out Hands 53 inch

I don't know what I said over the years was my best purchase on Amazon but it wasn't that. This, by far, is THE BEST PURCHASE I'VE EVER MADE ON AMAZON!My review is detailed and especially for those who have a large shower without a tub.I pulled the trigger and finally purchased this after evaluating the cost of going to a spa once a month to take a nice bath. No brainer there, especially when I used to take baths once or twice a week for zero dollars. I've been missing my big garden tub for nearly two years - so I waited patiently a few days and was positively beaming at the Amazon driver when he arrived!I ripped into the box as fast as I could, because the day before I purchased bath salt and bubble bath, dreaming of this exact moment.First of all, the engineer of this tub should also be designing power grids, working on fixing recurring potholes on city streets, and engineering for NASA. This tub is PERFECTION. Every detail - down to the foot rollers and cover design - is impeccable. (One teeny thing is that the headrest is basic, but you can easily use a bath pillow).Now for the important details that have nothing to do with the tub itself, but you should know from observations during my first bath:1. I have a 6' shower with a center drain and a removable hand held faucet. I highly recommend the latter based on how I take baths and for cleaning the tub easily.2. Make sure your shower drain is clear and draining properly; and remove any "hair catcher" type things that could slow down drainage.3. Please keep in mind you will eventually need to get out of the tub. Sigh. After my first bath, I STRONGLY recommend for safety that you have a rubber bath mat ready to step on; AND to make sure you think of clearance when you step out of the tub. You could fall. This tub is LARGE and I didn't think that through in my excitement. More on that in a bit.Now for the review. The tub is extremely easy to assemble. You just have to finish sealing it by popping on the side drain, the headrest, the shelf for soap and the cover if desired. The cover is actually three pieces that fit together easily.Based on my faucet type, it took about 25 minutes to fill the tub to the top of the green portion of the tub. I'm really glad I stopped there, because when I got in the water it was at the very top of the tub :) I used only hot water to fill the tub - thinking I would run out - and I put on the cover halfway through while filling but turns out I didn't really need to. The water was hot and it held the heat throughout my bath without the cover. I'm thinking you'd only want the cover on to read or to transform yourself into a prune.When I first got into the tub I heard some creaking for about 30 seconds. I thought it was going to collapse because I didn't get the legs right. Because the legs don't snap or lock into place. I was mentally preparing for a huge mess. But it's ok. The tub and I were just getting acquainted.This tub is super deep and unbelievably comfortable. I am 5'4" and currently a size 16 (I am living on salads, ok?) I was in utter bliss and there is a ridiculous amount of room. I was even floating up and sinking deep into the water, turned around several times, and feel overall this is better than a garden tub due to the depth and sufficient width. I also think the fact that it is not as wide as a garden tub and because of the material itself it holds the temperature unbelievably well. This was a 40 minute bath - I think - I was so relaxed I lost track of time! Awesome!!!!The material is soft but sturdy! It is like a silicone and pvc/plastic or something. I would think you don't want to abuse it, but it seems very durable. It does expand on the sides a little when filling so the folding part becomes more seamless. It is definitely designed for wear.I felt comfortable leaning a little on the sides to shave my legs but I wasn't pressing down on the sides very hard. I tend to be gentle with things but I'm guessing it is made to withstand more.While taking my bath, I did stand up in the tub several times, as I shampooed and conditioned my hair, shaved, and used the handheld to rinse off. The only reason I had to stand up for that is because my handheld won't reach that far. (My water control is on the opposite end from the actual faucet so it's unavoidable.) I was careful not to step on the foot rollers, of course. The tub itself is not slippery and I felt very secure doing that in this tub.When it was time to get back to the real world, I pulled the bottom drain while I was still in the tub.Keep in mind the tub does touch the floor of the shower and it will drain quickly and easily, even though it sits directly on the drain. Is that magic? I'm not sure. All I can say is be sure your shower drain is clear. I got nervous and stopped it back up at one point but I probably had nothing to worry about.For me, I stayed in the tub with the handheld as it drained and continued to spray the sides to make sure it was rinsed clean.Now here is where I personally ran into my only problem. I found myself struggling on the very slick shower floor (rubber bath mat is a MUST) while trying to squeeze past the shower glass and the tub I was trying to prop back up. I wasn't thinking when setting up that the tub should have been placed the opposite way. But please be cautious as this could be dangerous. Definitely not a tub issue; just want to make people aware.I rate this a 10/10 and I shouldn't have hem-hawed for 6 months before ordering it. You absolutely will not regret purchasing this tub. ENJOY!

This purchase was to have a soaking tub to put into my shower. I have a rather large shower with 2 different spraying heads on opposite walls. I use the heads to fill the tub up. There was no assembly which I loved. The weight wasperfect for me to easily move around. The tub itself simply pushes down for ready fill, and then can be flipped overonce you have drained it, and pushed back up. It takes about 10 to 15 min. to fill the tub, depending how deep you want the water and how much 'flow' pressure you have in your faucets. I allow the tub to dry out before collapsing back into folded form.The side drain was better for me to use. Since my shower slants towards the drain, I did not even need the extra,enclosed draining hose. Storage might be a problem for some, but my toilet room was big enough to slip it into a wall space area. I use the tub for a Detox tub. It's deep enough to submerge my entire 5'4" 120 lbs. up to my neck. The quality is excellent. The color is good. The ease of use is excellent. The water retention was excellent. No leaking anywhere. The only thing I did not think was necessary were the 'rollers' at one end of the tub. Didn't really do anything for me. I would highly recommend this purchase.

I wish I knew these existed 4 years ago. My house doesn't come with a bath tub, just 2 showers and my 3 year old is getting to big for sinks and buckets. I started looking for small tubs for kids but came across this and thought I would try and BOY I am glad I did. Firstly, it's big enough that my toddler can play with many toys in it. Secondly, I myself LOVE being able to take a bath again. The lids on the top of the tub make it retain heat for longer than you can stand being in there. I stayed in for 45 minutes while drinking cold water and had to get out as I was overheating. I expected the warmth of the water to go away quicker, lol. Definitely just need to get the bath as warm as you want and expect it to stay there.Only room for improvement is a longer hose, so you don't have to have it as close to the drain, or for situations where you want to orient it facing a certain way. I'm sure I can find one online standalone.Suggestion for potential buyers, find a safe way to elevate it above anything between the hose and the drain - makes it drain better. You still have to move the tub to the drain to get all the water out because the hose's drain is a few inches above the floor so those few inches of water will stay until you open the 2nd, bottom drain.

Love love love this tub! It doesn’t leak, is easy to empty/clean and folds down to be able to fit in tight spaces for storage, comfortable and spacious enough to stretch my legs (I am 5”3 and weigh 270) filled with water to cover me up to my stomach without feeling like it would collapse or that it was too much weight! Definitely would recommend!!!

So I'm an older woman that has muscle pain which is normal at my age. I have only had a shower for the past year and a half, and I really really wanted a bathtub that I can soak in Epsom salt and Bubbles. I am 5 ft 10 and I put this together so easy and filled it with hot water and epsom salt and lavender and oh my gosh the water stayed hot and I fit in the tub with no problems with my long legs. Even when I scooted down to get my shoulders cuz I didn't fill the water all the way to the top, I was able to soak with no problems and I am so thrilled. I used to tell people they should invent something like a portable bathtub to put in your shower and I measured my shower since I'm not married and this was a piece of cake getting in there thank you so much for making this woman the happiest woman alive. The build quality and the tub quality is top notch. It's functional the size is perfect it's a value for the money and it was so comfortable and so easy to fold up but I'm leaving it in my shower so I can take a bath everyday
