Portable Bathtub (Large) by Homefilos, Ice Bath and Cold Plunge for Athletes, Inflatable Adult Size Japanese Soaking Hot Tub for Shower Stall

Due to chronic pain I needed a deeper soaking tub than my regular tub. I’m 5’6” 220lbs and I fit in this perfectly, it’s deep enough to soak me to my shoulders if I lay back the right way. The bottom is cushioned and it’s comfortable to sit down. It is a bit bigger than I thought it would be.I put this in my standard sized bathtub in my apartment and it does fit with minor folding up at the bottom; I just made sure it was folding more on the side area so I wouldn’t be sitting directly on the fold so I wouldn’t cause any damage. It held the water perfectly, and I filled it up pretty high. There was no leaking at all, or any tears that I could see and I looked it over before using it. I used the side valve to drain the water and it worked great. I made sure to set it up so that the valve of the portable tub was facing my bathtub drain to make it easy to empty.It was overall extremely easy to set up, use, drain, and wipe up excess water to fold and put it away. Something I was worried about when I read other reviews was about the beams breaking, but after using it I can’t see how it would break unless you sat directly on it or applied your weight’s worth of pressure to it. Just avoid putting your weight on the beams directly and this will work great.

I live in an old ranch house that has all showers. I love taking baths and have missed it so much. I have been looking at portable baths since I moved into this house 2.5 years ago and researched reviews and ratings and ultimately kept talking myself out of it, convinced it was a ridiculous thing to buy. I was wrong!! I ended up deciding to "treat yo self" and bought it as a birthday present for myself. IT IS INCREDIBLE! I would actually prefer it over a normal bathtub. I bought the large size, even though I am 5'3", it is HUGE. It fits almost perfectly in my box style shower. The bottom is cushioned which is unexpected luxury and with the top rim being inflated it gives you the perfect built in pillow. It retains the heat better than bathtubs, that could be because my tiled enclosed shower creates a sauna effect, but regardless, I love it. I did have a learning curve with draining it. You have to make sure if you are using the drain at the bottom that it aligns with your shower drain or it will create a suction to the bottom of the shower floor and it is difficult to move with the weight of the water. But by my second use, I aligned it properly and drained perfectly. In short, this tub is well made, inexpensive, enormous in size, holds heat well, comfortable and absolute luxury if you have been living without a bathtub. 10/10 would recommend.

I don’t easily give 5 star reviews, but I think this product deserves it. It was thoughtfully and securely packed, easy to assemble, and seems sturdy (I have used it twice so far). The small size gives a comfortable soak, more economically than having to fill a big tub, which would not even allow the water level as high as this. Were this tub any higher, it might be a challenge to get in and out easily without bending it. Not being able to stretch the legs out did not bother me, there was plenty of room to move around (5’4”). The only minor annoyance is that the bottom middle drain plug sticks up a bit, and you have to be careful if scooting down to get into the water up to your chin. It’s not a big deal. The rest of the tub, on the sides and bottom, is nicely padded. The center drain position is perfect for easy draining if you have a centered shower drain. There is also a side drain option, you just need to remember to get the drain hose positioned properly if your drain is underneath the tub before you fill it- logical. After many years with only a shower stall and no bathtub, this is a real treat.

The set up is easy. The tub is lined and cushioned so it is comfortable to sit in. I ordered the small because of the size of my shower. I am 5’8’’ and I fit great. The item seems sturdy but I do have it next to the walls of my shower (due to size) and lean back with no issues. The tear down kinda sucks but mostly just because you just got all relaxed and then have to hassel with getting it drained. The drain hose works great but drains so far and then I have to open drain plug in bottom and lift it up so that the rest of the water drains. Ot is still worth having a tub!

I have an apartment with no tub, and sometimes, you just NEED a good hot bath. I considered moving, and while this isn't quite the same as stretching out in a tub, it does do the trick when what you need is a good hot soak.I was quite skeptical but it's a good product when you don't have a tub. Not glamorous, but well-made and practical. I got the smaller one, and I am 5'7"\135lbs. I can sit cross legged in it comfortably.It's very easy to set up and take down. I don't insert the side supports, I just put it inside my stand up shower stall which is the same size as the tub. When I want to empty it I just pull the drain, which I make sure is placed over my shower drain.I read reviews where folks said the blow up ring at the top doesn't hold air- this is a non issue both because it blows up with two breaths, and because in order to fold the tub away, you need to deflate the ring so I'm not sure who would want it to stay inflated for days on end anyway. Regardless, I have not had an issue with this. Perhaps they were not properly sealing the inflation point.

It's a nice sturdy little bathtub. However, if you are pass certain age you have to contort too much to assemble it, inflate the border, get in, get up to turn the water on, fill it up, get up to turn the water off, get out and dry yourself, rinse the tub, dry the tub, etc. I bought it hoping I could relax and float. Instead I had to do soo much work just for few minutes of being inside a small tub where I could not float at all. I'm only 5'1" and could fit well but no way to float on this because space is too restrictive. It come with liners that could not be used. Liners are rectangular and fit in the tub only in one direction leaving sides without being protected. I had to return it.
