We love our tub
We love our tub! However, there are 2 things about it that bother us. First, we installed a 50-gallon water heater and really need a 80-gallon. The water turns ice cold about 4/5 of the tub fill. We are trying to fix it by turning the water heater higher, but we have to be very careful not to get scalded at the other faucets in the house. The other thing that would be nice to have a plastic wedge from the wall to the door at the front of the tub to guide water back into the tub when showering standing up. We usually end up with water running down onto the floor. Other than that, it is wonderful and getting it is one of our best decisions we've made!
Salesman did not measure correctly
When the salesman measured for my tub, he did not take into consideration the way the door opens. When it arrived I had to remove my sink cabinet to allow it to open, and my towel cabinet to allow it to swing all the way open. I had to buy a very expensive, small custom pedestal sink and a small cabinet, along with some moving the plumbing to get everything to work. Other than that I LOVE my bathtub.

Non-slip covering is desperately needed on bottom of the UN. I bought the tub primarily to prevent falls. Was dangerous taking a shower or Exiting without the non-slip which I added.
Could be a bit better!
I enjoyed your salesman and both installers. They did a great job. HOWEVER, there must be something you could do to make my husband use this walk in tub. So far, he will have nothing to do with it. Maybe he is afraid of falling or thinks it is too hard for him to get in. (He has a disability.) Maybe he is afraid it is too complicated. Also, I run out of hot water. What kind of hot water heater do I need?

The installation went smoothly and the tub works very well. My 89-year-old mother is very happy with her purchase.
Review of American Standard Walk-In Tub
We looked at similar products from 2 other companies and the American Standard Liberation tub was the best. The salesperson did a great job of promoting the product and was not "overbearing" about purchasing the product. The installation of the tub and toilet was done in a very professional manner and was completed in 1 1/2 days with no mess or problems with the tub. I feel this was a great investment and we are enjoying the benefits of the tub very much.

Not Easy Care
American Standard Extra Large Safety Walk-in Tub 1. Great for sitting and showering ... after you put up a shower curtain so the room doesn't get wet. I found Trax makes special curtains for walk in tubs for a small fortune. Needed a handy man to install it. 2. Surface is not easy to clean because it keeps hold of all soap scum and skin debris in water and disperses it evenly from top to bottom. I was told the surface was "special" and lets all debris slip away with the draining water. Not even close! 3. Shower head placement wont hold position on vertical rail. 4. There is not a good place to put your towel where it stays dry. 5. Takes a long time to fill~15 to 20 minutes, but drains quickly.
