An In Depth Review – Kohler, Safe Step, American Standard and TubToday!
At TubToday, we specialize in providing top-quality walk-in bathtubs designed for comfort, safety, and luxury. Below, we review some of the best walk-in tub models on the market, highlighting their features, benefits, and standout innovations.
Kohler Fiberglass Hydrotherapy Tub
The Kohler walk-in bathtub offers fiberglass construction and hydrotherapy functionality, providing a reliable option for those seeking a basic walk-in tub experience.
American Standard Hydrotherapy Walk-In Bathtub
This model from American Standard is another hydrotherapy tub with functional features, but it lacks some of the innovations found in newer models.
Safe Step Walk-In Bathtub
Safe Step offers a fiberglass and gel-coated walk-in tub with a focus on hydrotherapy, but its build quality and features leave room for improvement compared to other options.
TubToday Transfer Model with Extra-Wide Door
TubToday’s transfer model features an extra-wide door, making it incredibly easy for users with mobility challenges to get in and out of the tub. This design is ideal for those seeking maximum accessibility.
TubToday Lounger Model with Outward-Swinging Door
Our lounger model includes an outward-swinging door for easy access, a feature that sets TubToday apart from many competitors. The locking mechanism uses pins that securely fasten the door, ensuring a watertight seal for long-lasting durability and reliability.
TubToday Ultra Model Walk-In Bathtub
The Ultra model is one of our newest designs, featuring cutting-edge innovation in the walk-in tub industry. Unlike other manufacturers, who have relied on the same models for years, TubToday continues to innovate, offering a range of options to meet diverse needs.
Door Handle Comparison
TubToday’s outward-swing door uses a solid brass, chrome-plated handle, which offers a premium, sturdy feel. In comparison, Kohler, American Standard, and Safe Step all use plastic handles for their inward-swinging doors, which don’t provide the same level of durability or user confidence.
Drain Systems
Drainage speed is a critical factor in walk-in tubs. TubToday features a dual 2-inch gravity-fed drain system that allows a full 145-gallon tub to drain in under two minutes. This system is significantly faster than the outdated 1.5-inch drains found in Kohler and American Standard models, which take much longer to drain and often require additional mechanisms that can malfunction.
Tub Fill Times and Faucets
Our models feature fast-fill faucets with ¾-inch supply lines, ensuring quicker filling times compared to competitors that use smaller ½-inch lines. Additionally, TubToday’s rain shower package offers an elegant, luxurious shower experience, further enhancing the tub’s versatility.
Build Quality and Fit & Finish
TubToday walk-in tubs are constructed with durable acrylic shells, chrome-plated frames, and more leveling feet than any other model on the market. This attention to detail ensures longevity and stability. In contrast, the fiberglass shells used by other manufacturers, such as Safe Step and American Standard, are prone to chipping and cracking, which can lead to costly repairs.
Jet Placement and Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is a key reason many choose a walk-in tub, and TubToday models deliver an optimal experience. Our tubs feature strategically placed jets that target the hips, back, feet, and other key areas for maximum therapeutic benefit. Other brands, like Safe Step and American Standard, often have poorly positioned jets that don’t provide the same level of relief.
Aesthetic Appeal and Customization
Our tubs not only perform exceptionally but also look stunning in any bathroom. Available with acrylic finishes, they are sleek, durable, and easy to maintain. TubToday offers a wide range of models and customizable features, including swivel trays, fast-fill faucets, and rain shower packages, allowing you to tailor your tub to your specific needs.
Why Choose TubToday?
TubToday stands out for its innovation, design, and commitment to user satisfaction. With features like dual-drain systems, superior jet placement, and a variety of customizable options, our walk-in bathtubs are designed with the user in mind. We also offer competitive pricing and a lifetime warranty on all our products, ensuring long-term value and peace of mind.
