There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After about nine (9) months of use, the hard plastic drainage spout broke off of my tub. My husband was able to re-affix the spout to the broken piece remaining attached to the tub. He used some kind of thick, moldable plastic epoxy and tried several types of glue to make the fix.
Almost exactly one year after purchase (a few months after the repair), the repaired drainage spout again broke off. We tried to fix it again, but it was harder to get a good seal with the now uneven surface from the former repair. I just purchased a new tub to replace the original.
The same size tub is now a few dollars cheaper than when I made the initial purchase. I calculate my cost as $0.21 per day if I need to replace this tub once per year. I benefit enough from this product to make that worthwhile, though I wish I could purchase a similar tub with a metal drainage valve as that is the only part of my tub showing any wear and tear.
***end UPDATE***
I got exactly what I wanted with this item, and felt the price was reasonable for the utility of the tub and the fairly small market in the USA for this type of product.
For many years, I have thought that I would prefer a deeper tub that was less oblong and more square. Sometime along the way I learned that the Japanese use tubs of this shape. I imagined that I might someday remodel an American bathroom to have such a tub for myself. Then I grew up, got a job, got married, bought a house, had kids, and realized that remodeling is a nightmare and I may never do a total reno job like I watched on home & garden television in my youth. We did move from our first home--with a peeling, badly refinished cast iron tub that was too gross to sit in--to a home of Barbie Dream House proportions with a beautiful master bathroom containing... a tub the size of the entire bathroom at my old house. I mean seriously, you could put 4 adults in this giant whirlpool tub. That's when I read up on the biofilm that lives inside whirlpool jets, and I lost most of my interest in soaking in my beautiful new home's bloated tub.
(I'm prone to long stories, so I'll mention that the enormous whirlpool also leaked into our kitchen due to a dried out seal on the drain the one and only time we filled it 1/3 way full and ran the jets. The faucet was also clogged with a ball of sediment. Basically, a tub this size is too ridiculous for anyone to actually fill and use, so it dried up and died in the mausoleum that is our beautiful marble master bathroom...)
Back to my folding, portable bathtub!
Due to some health issues that are causing me aching joints, I got to thinking about my dream tub again. I read about a portable (fiberglass, like a "real" built-in tub) ofuro in someone's blog. That one was only $900! Oh wait, I've never actually used such a tub. I just THINK I want one. $900 is ridiculous for a whim. Finally searching Amazon for "ofuro" lead me to this product listing a few a like it.
A two figure price tag (less than 10% of the one from the blog) made this purchase an easy one for me. I could afford it, and I really wanted to try it.
The box arrived in fine condition, taped shut, with all expected parts inside, and carefully labeled in a language I don't understand. I actually think I saw Korean characters, but that's a guess, not a fact. It is true that the instruction sheet was also in an Asian language I don't read. That said, the "assembly" process consisted of:
* unfold the wadded up plastic tub until it is tub shaped, like a wider, shorter trash can
* insert white PVC tubes into plastic sheaths built onto tub shaped tub with the ends that look like feet on the OUTSIDE
* inflate the ring around the top so it stops toppling over under its own weight
I had a little fight with the cheap plastic pump included in the package. (My yoga balls and other fitness gear all came with the same style of cheap pump.) Then I realized this little ring of inflated stuff was not very big, so I just blew it up by mouth in about three breaths. The pump is NOT a deal break for assembly!
Now I had a tub! It looked cheap. It smelled of stinky new plastic (and I am sensitive to such odors.) But it was in my bathroom, and it looked human sized. I let it air out by an open window for a couple of days before we filled it.
Once again, I'm going to point out that my master bathroom is a little unusual in that it is the size of two bedrooms in my former 1910's home. The tub in its tiled surround is the size of New Jersey, there's lots of walking around room, the toilet has its own good-sized cubby, and the shower is a nice, extra deep, double-header. For my situation, employing the Folding Bathtub is very, VERY easy and I wasn't worried about leaks: the whole thing fits at one end of my shower enclosure and it doesn't even cover the center drain. (The 85 cm diameter top works out to about 33" across, so this tub would definitely fit in a 36" square shower stall, but that would be a very different experience for drainage, etc., than exists in my large shower.) If it had leaked or self-destructed once filled, all the water would've been contained in my case, making the experiment very easy for me. If I were using this outside of a "wet room" (room with a drain in the floor) or outdoors, I WOULD TEST IT OUTSIDE WITH THE HOSE before filling it on my living room carpet!
That said, this tub is made of thick, sturdy plastic. The strong odor took about a week and a half to dissipate in a large bathroom at a time of year that windows could be left open most of the time. I also ran the shower exhaust fan for several hours at a time to aid in sucking the stink out of it. It does stink when new. The smell does decrease over time.
My little son took the first bath in the tub. 1) He's been dying for a tub bath most of his life, and rarely got one after outgrowing his inflatable baby tub. 2) We didn't fill it very full in case it leaked, but that was plenty of water for a young grade-schooler. 3) I wasn't sure I would easily get in and out of this tall new tub with my joint issues, whereas the little guy can be lifted out by me (in a pinch) or my husband (no pinching required.)
We've learned to fill the tub to about the user's knee level to have a nice, but not neck-level fill upon sitting down. Whomever is about to use the tub can stand in the shower stall and eyeball the water level, using the "knee high" test to decide when to shut off the shower flow. The little guy is impatient and usually gets in before the water is even at his knees. This gives him a bath level much like a standard Western tub. He has one boat that he takes in with him, and he has a good time. He uses water set at about 90 F. (Yeah, our fancy new house has showers that you turn on with the desired temp pre-set, too. It's really cool!)
I make the little guy wash with soap on the other side of the shower (double-headed shower, see above) before taking his soak. When he's done, I turn the temp up to 110 F and fill the tub up to the tops of my knees to get the soaking temperature I've been dreaming of all these years. I am feeling really, REALLY much happier about our water usage knowing that we're at least getting two soaks out of a fill up of this tub, and also that the total volume of water is so much more reasonable than our giant built in one.
The highest I've filled the water was at "thigh high stocking" level on my leg. (I got distracted.) I actually thought the tub would overflow when I sat down, but the water came up right under my lower lip. I will say, the sensation of weightlessness was vastly increased by this higher water level, but I didn't feel quite as relaxed as I do with water just above my shoulders. I highly recommend performing the experiment to see which water level relaxes you the most.
Emptying the tub is really easy. There is an exterior valve with a twistable on-off handle that lets you drain all but the last few inches of water out the side. After that, we have room in our tub to tip it over and dump the last few inches. When I'm feeling normal to well, I can do this myself. If my joints are flaring, I ask my husband to do it. A normal woman (not physically challenged) should be able to dump the last bit of water. It isn't that heavy. IF YOUR SHOWER STALL IS VERY SMALL this might get tricky, and then the little plug in the bottom of the tub might be called for. I've never even opened that plug on my tub. (It is exactly like the one in all inflatable wading pools. Clear plastic, round, about the size of a US quarter and 1/4-1/2" deep, pressing into a same-size open hole...)
I want to speak to two very important aspects of this tub that concerned me before purchase in case my experience can help you decide:
1) GETTING IN AND OUT
I'm fortunate to have this in a tiled shower enclosure. If I need to, I can lean my weight on the adjoining wall when getting in and out. I don't have grab bars, however. Those would make this experience MORE SAFE. I do have an autoimmune disorder (although mild) and many tricky joints (pain, weakness.) Before my sickness, I was relatively fit and flexible, however, and I can rise up from sitting cross legged to standing without any support when my joints aren't too inflamed. Before using this tub, it would be wise to attempt this maneuver (rising from cross-legged without support) on a regular floor to see how you do. THE WATER PROVIDES ASSISTANCE with its buoyancy, so I find it very easy to stand up from the bottom of the tub, even when mildly inflamed, but I was able to do so very well within the past year or so without any outside help. Getting out of the tub is easier than getting up from the floor due to the water's buoyancy assist.
All this said, I did have my husband stay nearby for my first few baths, just in case. Getting up out of a steamy tub can make me dizzy. My joints can surprise me (and not in that good, breakfast in bed way...) It hasn't been an issue for me, thank God, but I would strongly recommend considering safety if you try this tub and you have health issues.
2) TUB SIZE
I'm a plump but not obese, short (5' 3") and short-torsoed woman. I bought this larger size because I wanted more room at the bottom for my (ahem) bottom. With the 85 cm diameter (at the top) tub, no part of me needs to touch the plastic sides of the tub. I was grossed out by the idea of touching slimy plastic, though, thus far, my tub isn't slimy. :) Sitting cross legged, I have about an inch of clearance around me on all sides in the bottom of the tub.
The HEIGHT of this tub (I think 70cm? = 27.5 inch) is just a smidge higher than I'd prefer. I CAN (and usually do) pull down a bit on the inflated upper edge and use it as a neck pillow, leaning back slightly so that the tiled tub enclosure supports me with the inflated ring softening the experience. I can be claustrophobic, and would like this tub better if it were about 3" shorter so my eyes were peeping out instead of just the top of my head being above the rim. It is big enough that I don't freak out. (Also, I dim the lights and take my baths in a fairly dark room, so that eases my visual discomfort.)
IF I WERE TO BUY ANOTHER PORTABLE TUB, I might opt for a slightly longer, OVAL shape tub so I could opt to have my knees bent in front of me but not folded. I think a somewhat smaller radius for the end of the oval would be fine, but about another 10-12 inches in length, and almost as much depth, would be my ideal tub. I haven't had a major joint flare since I started using the tub, but I can imagine being in such bad shape that I couldn't bend enough to get cross-legged (criss cross applesauce sitting, known as "Indian style" when I was a child.)
SHOULD YOU TRY THIS TUB?
* If you've always thought you'd like a Japanese style, deep soaking tub (or ofuro) but never had a chance to experience one, this is good way to try it out.
* If you crave a soak that gets your shoulders fully submerged and have no joint or balance issues that could make it tricky to get in or out, try this.
* If you find it difficult to get in and out of a standard, built-in Western tub, this product is probably not safe for your use as it is at least as hard to enter or exit, and possibly harder, than a built-in tub.
* This portable tub is just what I wanted in terms of use. In the dry Arizona climate I need a way to hydrate my elderly skin with more than showers and lotions. The unit fits into the shower adjoining my bedroom, which I prefer over my regular bathtub. The narrowest part of the shower is 28" but the plastic is flexible. The tub looks strong, works as advertised, and arrived in one week instead of the projected date of up to a month.
* I did not find any assembly instructions but it was simple to insert the support pipes into the slots. Inflating the rim is needed to keep the tub open, but it was easy with the included pump. Draining is fast with the outside spigot, and to drain it completely there is an inside plug as well. I haven't tried the cushion or the cover.
* Although I'm petite and old, getting over the height of the tub was no problem after all. The tricky part (which hadn't even crossed my mind) was getting into and out of a ground-level sitting position with nothing stable to hold onto. After my first interesting adventure, I ordered the compact Drive one-side walker from Amazon, which comes pre-assembled. (The DuoMed footstool with handle was too hard to assemble and I returned it.) The walker is good for moral support, but getting to ground zero and back is entirely up to me. It required practicing on terra firma until I got it right, which did not take long and paid off.
* With the addition of some aromatic Deep Steep organic bubble bath oils from Amazon, I believe my skin will benefit. I may even take this handy tub outside under my ramada on sizzling summer days for a mini-pool. More uses would be to launder bedspreads or other large, unwieldy items. The affordable price is another plus. A good invention.
* This review would not be complete without the instructions as printed on the unit--no offense to the well-meaning translator. I believe 50° temperature must mean celsius (120° Fahrenheit).
* ON THE SIDE:
1) In a bath barrel injection should be the first injection of cold water, hot water re-injection.
2) There must be a person in the whole monitoring when infants young children and aged weak people are using it.
3) Don't touch with things of high temperature over 50°, sharp objects and chemicals easy causing plastic rot.
4) Please read the instructions carefully before use.
* ON THE RIM:
1) Infants, the elderly when using this product, care must be someone in the next.
2) The product can not come into contact with sharp objects or water temperature higher than 50° can cause air leaks or drum kits.
