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

I LOVE this tub so much!!! I spent a lot of time reading reviews and this is the tub I settled on. I'm so glad I did!!! It is almost better than a built in tub! What do I love about it? It fits perfectly into my walk in shower. I had contemplated getting the bigger one, but it would've been too big for my shower stall so I'm glad I got the smaller size. Putting this tub together was pretty easy too although there was a little bit of a learning curve for me in terms of using the foot pump to inflate the top ring. I was incorrectly hooking up the wrong end of the pump into the tub ring so it wasn't inflating at first. If you inflate it correctly, it does really make a round ring. You just don't want to inflate it too much after that. Everything else about the assembly was easy! What else do I love about this tub? I'm 5' 4" and this tub holds the perfect depth of water! Soaking in a regular size built-in bathtub wouldn't be the same. This feels more like a spa experience! No, I can't stretch out like I am in a regular tub, but I can still submerge myself completely in the water for a relaxing experience and it only takes about 12 minutes to fill the tub. Another great quality of the tub is it retains water heat well. The bottom is also soft and comfortable unlike the bottom of bathroom tubs. When I use Epsom salts to soak in, I follow the recommendation of another customer who suggested using half the amount of Epsom salts and dissolving them in water before you add them to the tub. That way there is no gritty salt left on the bottom of your tub after your bath, and it won't scratch the bottom of the tub which brings me to the next great feature of the tub! This tub is easy to drain and easy to dry off. I use the center drain plug in the tub and it fits directly over the drain in my walk-in shower. The drain in my walk in shower is in the center of the shower so it works perfectly! It is true that the drain doesn't stay open enough to let the water drain out of the tub well so I just take a little piece of plastic to prop it open and it works great. Then I just shake out any excess water and dry the tub with a towel. It dries pretty quickly. I haven't even folded it up to put it away because I love using it so much and my bathroom is big enough that I can leave it out. I do wonder if they could make this tub in an oval shape so there would be the ability to stretch out more, but honestly I think this tub is perfect the way it is!

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.

I love my apartment, except for the fact that it has no tub. It’s the only hesitation I had about the place, because I knew how much I missed a good soak when previous places didn’t have one. After six years I found myself thinking about buying an inflatable kiddie pool for the job. Then it occurred to me: surely someone has solved this problem by now? There are millions of people in the world who have small apartments and you can buy anything on the internet! I was hopeful and a little skeptical when I ordered this tub, but it really delivered. It’s easy to put together. After the first time, it takes me 10 minutes, including inflating the ring. The tub fits inside my shower, so it’s easy to drain using the side drain, it takes 15-20 minutes if I fill it all the way—that’s about 2/3 before I get in. My shower drain runs a little slow, so ymmv. I rinse the tub using the handheld shower and tip it over to dry out. My shower stall has a 3” lip, so I can prop an edge on that and get good air circulation for it to dry. Once it’s dry, it’s easy to remove the poles, fold it up and put it back in the bag. I bought the small size. I’m 5’2” and find it very comfortable to sit in. I am submerged almost up to my shoulders if I fill it all the way. I can’t totally stretch my legs out, but I can sit cross legged or with my knees comfortably bent in front of me. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

Great product! I love the center drain and the neutral colour. In theory, the height (or depth?) should be fine, but I really wish the support rods were and inch or so taller. The rods stop a few inches from the top, and the only support at the rim is the inflatable ring, which is not firm enough to lean on. Now, I could push it against the wall, but then the center drain is not aligned, and that is why I bought this tub. When this came in the mail I understood why it was shorter, it now packs into a standard packing box, so shipping must be less. Anyway, overall great product, would buy again, just wish it was an inch or so deeper. Oh ya, I am 5'3" tall, so.....

My mother felt reluctant about ordering a bath like this. BUT I ordered it as a surprise for her. Now she uses it every weekend in the winter months. The bottom feels padded, it’s super easy to set up. I don’t install the hose though to drain. The bath feels (in my opinion) stable and even I (with 1.77 height) can sit in it. When fully filled it still reaches my shoulders. The bath remains warm. To store: dry it, roll it up and shove into the bag. Which is a challenge, but it works. The only request I got was to order her a cushion for her neck as well… lol.

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 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.

Ive been living 6 years without a bath tub in my apartment and just heard about portable bath tubs at a Christmas party. That night I started searching for the perfect one, reading all the features and reviews to narrow it down but I was looking at the full size ones and kept hesitating considering the issues with filling and draining. Then I found this one! It fits perfect in my shower, its easy to fill and drain and its surprisingly comfortable! I actually dont even take it apart cause I use it so often but its very easy to set up and it comes with a nice lil travel bag. The 1st time I used it I was a bit too egar and didnt set up the drain hose so I had to bucket it out till I could move it and pour the rest out. I also over filled it so now I know the level of water that fits me. Unlike a standard bath tub my body is completely submerged which is so nice. I can now have a detox salt bath, moor mud herbal bath and use Lush bath products at home!!😊 Its been perfect having this in the winter especially now that some of my pipes have been froze and I cant use the shower or laundry but Im still able to have a bath filling buckets from the tap in my kitchen. It takes a while but its worth it!! I highly recommend buying this tub, you wont regret it! I only wish I found it sooner!!

If you need a temporary bathtub or do not have the space for a built-in one, this is your answer. It is made of great quality, does not smell and is durable. Setup is extremely easy taking only 3 minutes. The depth is sufficient to soak your whole body in it and it is wide enough to sit in very comfortably. It retains the heat very well throughout the entire bath. Emptying the water is very easy through the built-in tap outlet. Very convenient and fuss-free setup indeed!

This tub fits well in my shower It is easy to set up and is made from a good grade of material..I fill it about 3/4 full so that when I sit in it the water covers my shoulders…it fill easily from the shower head and has 2 drains..there is padding on the bottom so comfortable to sit in and….relax…going to take it camping with me…. as it compact when taken apart……..very happy with my purchase

Not too big, not too small. Very good and strong material. Easy set up in 5 minutes.

Fits perfect in my corner shower stall
