If you're considering whether or not to get an air jet tub, there are a few things to take into account. One is whether you have the space for it - air jet tubs are typically larger than standard tubs. You'll also want to think about how often you'll use it - if you're someone who loves soaking in the tub, an air jet tub can be a great investment. Another thing to consider is the cost - air jet tubs can be more expensive than standard tubs. However, if you shop around, you can find some great deals.
There's no denying that jetted tubs have been around for a while. But does that mean they're outdated? Not necessarily. While jetted tubs may not be the newest trend on the market, they're still a luxurious and relaxing option for your bathroom. So if you're considering a jetted tub for your home, don't let the fact that they're not the newest option deter you.
Yes, you can have a shower with a drop-in tub. The main difference between a drop-in tub and a regular tub is that a drop-in tub has a lower profile, making it easier to get in and out of.

I adore how this tub feels and looks, plus I can get extra elbow room in the shower thanks to its bent design (plan to buy a curved shower rod). I appreciate Amazon's quick shipping (both Home Depot and Lowes gave my contractor a two-week wait). The walls of this tub tilt inward to prevent water from pooling, but this also means that shampoo bottles cannot sit there contentedly. This is a small "negative" that buyers should be aware of. Razors and other small items will remain, while larger items will slide into the tub. Plan to keep your bottles on a different shelf or caddy.

Although it is heavier than plastic tubs, a two-man team could move it.Excellent design. The tub's bottom appears to slope toward the drain when you are standing in it. The outside portion slopes inward. Water doesn't collect at the bottom as residue.The package is thick by half an inch and quite sturdy. I had to cut the package into pieces with a jigsaw before throwing it in the trash.The overflow port has two restrictions. The standard overflow kit offered by Home Depot won't fit since it is so high. It won't fit until you purchase an additional piece of PVC pipe to expand it. Additionally, the tub wall at the overflow port is unusually thick, necessitating a longer overflow cover screw in order for it to reach all the way to the back of the pipe.

This is a video review of the Linen Cambridge left-drain bathtub by American Standard. (Complements Kohler Biscuit and Toto Sedona Beige) I ADORE this bathtub! It is lightweight compared to acrylic and simple to install (nothing a couple of skilled contractors can't handle!). It is also easy on the eyes. very simple to clean. Since I prefer raisin-fingers when I soak, I first wanted a cast iron tub because it keeps the water warmer than acrylic. For half the cost and weight of cast iron, this tub provides the same functionality. (This tub weights roughly 240 lbs.) I was astounded that I didn't need to continually let water out to add extra hot. Can't beat free shipping with Amazon Prime! Examine it for chips PRIOR to installation! I didn't have to worry because mine arrived in excellent shape and with Prime shipping in a jiffy. I can't answer to how long it will last at this point because we've just had it for a few months: But I doubt you won't still be in love with this tub when your fingers are raisins BEFORE you get in if you take good care of it and clean it thoroughly.

All is well thus far. I've just used it once for a bath; I haven't used it for a shower yet, but the bath was excellent. You can truly luxuriate in the few extra inches of water. And because of its form, you can easily and comfortably put your head back (I'm 5'5"). Since this model is also used for jetted tubs, one of the front panels comes out, which, in my opinion, is unnecessary for the non-jetted style. If it keeps coming off, I'm concerned that it might start to annoy me. The front panel was glued by the contractor who installed it, but I can already tell where it might still want to come off. I gave it four stars for this reason.

This tub was used in the remodeling of two bathrooms, and it is a great product overall, especially considering the cost. Although there are undoubtedly more expensive and/or higher quality tubs available, this one has worked well for us as a basic tub. One has been with us for almost three years and is still going strong. Durable and simple to clean. This tub was used in our fifth bathroom renovation (across multiple homes); it is a MUCH superior product than fiberglass tubs with flimsy skirts and is far more user-friendly for DIYers than a cast iron tub. During installation, we laid a very thin layer of mortar down, and since then, there hasn't been the slightest bit of "give" or bounce. For the first month or so, both tubs made a slight creaking noise, but after that, they stopped.Lightweight but feels quite solid. I hauled the box, which weighed just over 80 pounds, upstairs by myself. Despite other reviews, we haven't experienced any staining issues. (It will scratch/mark if you rub something metal or abrasive against it; for example, a titanium wedding band when giving your kids a bath.) For this reason, we decided not to give the dogs baths in it. Quite simple to install. Before, when we utilized fiberglass tubs, the skirts were weak and soon detached from the sealant at the bottom and front because they flexed under light pressure. Once installed, this tub feels like cast iron, and we have not experienced any "flexing" problems.Cons: It's VERY difficult to discern if it's a right- or left-hand drain from the way it's listed on Amazon. I ordered the wrong one first; the only way to know (at the time of my order) is through the model numbering system (which also contains color code), so I had to cross verify with the American Standard Web site and obviously got confused. Also for the DIYer, the flange in the corners looks to be thicker than in the center, so we had to increase the stud shim thickness to make sure the backer board was plumb with the corners but square all the way across the center to the other corner. Not the end of the world, but bit of a pain and not highlighted at all in the instructions.And as a note to other DIYers: we had a 60" opening - exactly 60"! And this tub is just over that - maybe a 1/8, maybe 3/16 (the way the back of the flange is manufactured it's not fully consistent), so we had to trim some wiggle room from the studs on the inner drain side - although this spared us from having to shim that end.Overall, I would suggest this tub and use it again. No bells and whistles, but a very decent fundamental tub.

15 years ago, I bought and installed this tub. As the only bath in the house, it was virtually always used by two children and two adults. The tub still shines as brightly as the day I bought it and cleans up nicely now. The only issue is that the non-skid is gone and could be slippery for little children. Baking soda, a sponge, and water work well as a cleanser for it. When I finish my downstairs bath, I'd without a doubt purchase another.
A jetted tub can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. However, it is important to properly maintain your jetted tub in order to extend its lifespan. Regular cleaning and filtering of the water will help to prevent the build-up of dirt and grime, which can damage the jets and pump.
