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.

I never ever write reviews but I'm one to completely rely on them. This tub is amazing. I bought the large and it fits perfectly in my 3ft by 3ft shower stall. My husband and I fit pretty comfortably in there together and there is so much room individually. We aren't the smallest people either. I love how the water can easily come up to my shoulders. The bottom is perfectly cushioned and not with air that makes you feel wobly. It is a firm, stable feeling cushion. The tub drains quite fast and the center drain is perfect for our center drain shower stall. The material is seems so strong and comfortable, flexible but very sturdy. It is also very nice looking, modern and clean looking. Unlike the other blue tubs. This tub is amazing. I have already sent the link to all of my friends and family to put it on their Christmas list this year and they won't regret it. Also, a plus for me, which I didn't know until after I purchased it, was that this is an American small family business that sells these and I love to support the small businesses when I can! Thank you so much for this tub, I'm so grateful for it. I will say I don't understand the point in the liners. I was excited that they may make it zero clean up but after reading the instructions on how to use them, you have to take out the liner before draining it, which defeats the purpose of the liner. Unless maybe I'm missing something. I was really hoping I would put the liner in and then drain the water and the tub really never get wet which means I wouldn't have to wash it as often. However, it doesn't seem to be hard to clean so I don't mind at all.

I really wanted to love this, but it is way too small. The larger size won't fit in our walk in shower so we went with the smaller size. My purpose of purchasing it was to soak my arthritic body. It was easy to assemble and comes with a pump to inflate the rim. There's a bag of liners that are disposable and that's a bit challenging to keep it in place as the water fills up. However, my thinking was how great to have liners. The tub is small and it is just very small to fit a grown body inside. I'm already battling creaky joints and then I had to sit with my knees to my chest and that didn't go so well. Getting in was easy, but getting out took some skill. Fortunately, there's a grab bar in my shower otherwise I would have been writing this from the ambulance. Then came the fun part. To drain the water out, you need to either cut the liner or empty the water from the liner into the tub itself. The excitement about having a liner went away pretty fast once I realized the water will end up in the tub anyway. So then you need to clean the empty tub that won't hold its structure. I'm disappointed by the tub size and the liners, but we will keep it to soak our feet and do home pedicures. If you opt to buy one, go for the larger size or an oblong one.

I've been waiting for this product to come back in stock for a while now, and I am so happy with my purchase. Before this one, I had one of the taller versions from another company. The Homefilos one is way better for three core reasons. First, you can't beat the middle opening on the Homefilos. We have a shower with a central hole and draining the previous product that we had from another company with a side drainer would take ages and was super tricky. Previously I'd have to scoop water out with a bucket to empty it until it was almost empty then move it around to empty the last bit out: This came with a lot of effort and eventually resulted in the previous product from another company tearing. The Homefilos one drains simply and efficiently in minutes with zero fuss or effort. Secondly, the taller versions of these kinds of tubs from other companies are really claustrophobic. I'm 5 foot 3, and with the taller versions you are constantly inhaling the steam from the bath so it feels suffocating. The Homefilos version is much less intense and more relaxing, with your head out of the tub itself. Thirdly, the Homefilos one just looks better in the bathroom. The previous model from another company was just big and cumbersome. This looks neat and fits in better. I use the Homefilos for both warm baths and ice baths and its great for both. Outside of being a great product, Homefilos has super responsive and friendly customer service. It's a small company that cares about its customers. Highly recommended all around.
