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

UPDATE: We have now been using this tub for a year and still love it! It has been very durable and not difficult to store. I am very glad that we bought it and look forward to using it more. It has been money well spent.ORIGINAL REVIEW:It was delivered in the evening over this weekend and I tried it out first thing the next morning. I had measured my shower enclosure before ordering and it fits just fine. I was worried since I have a center drain that the tub would block it and prevent the shower from draining after bathing. But I can happily report that was not an issue. There are enough channels formed into the underside of the tub to allow the water to drain at a reasonable rate so the shower pan didn't flood. It's nice to know now that I don't have to sit and watch it drain and I can walk away and get on with my day.It sets up very easily. The only challenge for me was figuring out how to get it into my shower stall and then set it up. I had to stand outside the shower to do it and then step into the tub to get the shower head down to fill it. Filling it was a little bit of a nuisance since the shower head on the flexible hose kept flipping over and spraying up into the air. Eventually I figured out how to set it into the tub so I could walk away and not have to hold it the whole time it filled.I'm a plus size, 5'5" tall woman and I was very comfortable in there. It's really nice and deep so I could soak all the way to my neck. It was nicer than the old tub that we replaced with the shower when we renovated. This can be filled much fuller than a standard American built-in tub. It also feels very sturdy and secure.We have an instant hot water heater, so I was able to fill it with lots of hot water. If you have a standard water heater tank, you may not have enough hot water available. That is something you might want to check. You may need to schedule your other hot water use around other hot-water chores to be sure you can fill the tub. It stayed warm for a long time and was still hot when I decided to get out. I started out using the covers and then eventually took them off. It was nice to have them, but it is also nice that it's enjoyable to use without them too.After it drained, I have it a quick rinse with the shower head, got out of the shower and then tipped the entire thing on one end to drain the last little bit of water out. I then tipped it forward against the shower wall with the top facing down and then left it to dry.I planned to collapse it once it dried and find a place to store it, but all my family members decided to test dive it first. So far the reviews from them are good too.I have really been missing having a tub, and we just can't afford to renovate our other bathroom for the foreseeable future. So this is a GREAT compromise and I look forward to using it frequently.

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.
