Notes on a Great Product
I ordered this tub about a month ago and decided to wait to write a review. Now that I've successfully and unsuccessfully used it 5 or 6 times, here's my notes on the product: *Yes, it REALLY IS too heavy to move after you fill it, even a little. Don't be like me and foolishly assume you can drag it back to the nearest drain when you're ready to empty. That way madness lies. *Yes, it REALLY IS big enough for an adult. Granted, I'm a small adult (5'2") but that just means I don't have to fill it all the way to be fully submerged. Win-win! *I have done my darnedest to find some kind of pipe or tube system that I could use to fill/empty this without flooding the living room. To date, the only thing that has worked is buckets, and I'm not THAT determined to be able to soak in front of the TV. *Now I just plop it into the tub/shower combo that I have and let it fill from the showerhead, and it works great. But MAKE SURE YOU SET IT UP WITH THE DRAIN ON THE SAME SIDE AS YOUR TUB DRAIN...trust me again...that way madness lies also. *The water in this tub stays HOT, and I mean for HOURS. This is not so good if you accidentally run your bath too hot to start with, but awesome if you get out and come back, or just accidentally forget about it for a while...not that I would do such a thing. *The pump that comes with it is pretty self-explanatory to use and is great at inflating, but not so great at deflating. I live alone and have a huge bathroom, so it just gets stored upright on the floor where it can dry out between uses. If you plan to set up and break down, though, you'll want an air mattress pump or similar for the deflating part. Anyway, this is a pretty rad little soaker tub and I'd buy it again anytime (I guess technically I already have, since my first order was damaged in transit and I still haven't got a refund....WORTH IT THOUGH because of how awful the tub in my apartment is.) For the first time I can get in the tub and be submerged up to my shoulders in nice warm water without having to clean a bathtub first or getting disappointed when it's a cold bath in ten minutes. Definitely recommend as a first step toward getting a more permanent deep soaker! It's addictive.
