Tubble® Royale Inflatable Bathtub - Use as a hot and ice bath - Quick assembly in 1min - Foldable bathtub for adults up to 188cm - Ambient Taupe - 255L

I have a very handicapped daughter who lives in a group home--If something fails and I have to have her come home I needed to get a tub I could quickly move out of the Shower area for my daughter to use if need be-I spent hours looking for something 'real" you could use for bathing-Most looked like a beach ball formed into a "plastic" bath tub-I settled on The Tubble"--Very strong rubber--blows up quickly-fills up more then a real tub-really don't need the "zip top" to keep heat in--it stays hot forever-in fact the first time you use it may cause trouble in that it is really hot if you're used to starting up that way-we had no faucet per say -took the shower head off and connect a garden hose to fill the tub up-the drain in on the right side and our drain in the shower is in the middle so we had to get creative with that. I really love this thing-and when I can/may get a "real" tub I may just keep my Tubble for outside use---sit in the tub--just watch the birds fly by and probably read a bood--soo comfortable--The bottom of the tub is very comfortable too as it seems to be padded this is my second review as I've owed my tub for about four years now and I love it still. I still have to use it weekly (I have a shower use also) 'm 73 and not in the best health arthris....my one problem, is I couldn't get the the cover in the drainage hole to stay any further or if I did my arthritic hands had a devil of a time getting the plug out. I tried getting a drainage plug I bought to work and none would fit riight----found a perfect but silly sounding solution. I spied my grandsons baby ear syringe in the drain...fit perfet. went in as far as it could and the pressure from the water held it perfectly. I like this better then the original plug and yes I bought the baby a new baby syringe LOL HAPPY SOAKING !

I almost bought a coleman or some other brand hot tub when I saw them on Amazon from $499 to about $999 dollars but all of the reviews seemed like a nightmare with errors and leaks.Well, I already owned the Joolca Hot Tap water heater so I decided to not waist money and time trying to keep a hot tub up and running (with chlorine and heat pumps) when I could easily just fill the Tubble tub with fresh hot water in an instant and not have to worry about pool chemicals/cleaning or any other hassles of a hot tub. (plus it’s mobile for camping!)So I bought the Tubble this summer and have used it about 30-40+ times and have been incredibly happy with it… and even though it’s just sprung it’s first leak the other day, I feel that I already got my money’s worth and the leak is a slow leak that I covered with tape (probably should get some flex seal for it). The only weak point of the tub is the poorly designed zipper, just be super careful with the zipper… and the air pump machine they included is pretty weak so I use a better air pump to make it feel more pumped up.I use 108°F-114°F water to fill it and that’s hotter than any inflatable hot tub sold anywhere, the cover really does retain heat and gives privacy and place for sponge or soap.Also, the tub is nice and deep and roomy, and even being a 220 lbs man I can float and stretch out comfortably.I am sad that I will have to buy another tub to replace the one that I have, but next time I will be way more careful with the zipper not pulling to much on the rubber material.

Pros: I was pleasantly surprised by the sturdiness of this plastic bathtub as well as the set-up ease. Worth every penny more than its competitors. I am 6' tall, 180 pounds ( ,82kg) and found it quite roomy for a nice soak.Cons: the floor is as slick as a slip-and-side, for those of you old enough to remember. I had to add a bathmat and a handhold in my shower simply for safety. The floor should have been roughened up at the factory. Also, not really important, but the so-called cup holder is too small but for the smallest juice glass.[edit on Feb 20, 2020]Additional pros:-- I am 6' tall, 180 pounds (1.83m, 82kg) and my wife is 5' 2" 120 pounds (1.57m ,55kg) and both us fit in the tub without problems. Cozy but not cramped. Photo#1-- Easy, easy set-up. We've done it over a dozen times since purchase and from start to finish, maybe 5 minutes max as it inflates VERY fast. We always unscrew the metal drain cover in the shower to make sure drain tube has extra space and edges to keep in place (see con below).-- We keep the entire tubble and pump under our bed which has a small 5 inch (127mm) clearance from the floor.Additional cons, but none too significant, in our opinion:-- Because the drain tube pushes up the drain plug about one inch, the water doesn't completely drain. So you must get behind the tube and drain out about a gallon (3.78l) at the end. We've turned this into a pro, by quickly showering out the tub and moving any debris/soap scum towards the drain.-- The drain tube with the provided adapter is too small. It actually came out several times when we moved the tubble around during set-up and once ended up outside of the drain and stuck under a massive amount of filled tubble water with nowhere to go. Luckily, using a SOFT-SIDED plastic cutting board, we were able to raise the heavy tubble floor about an inch or so and used a SOFT-ended pole to get it back into place. We continue to unscrew the metal drain cover (as before) and now insert a modified drain tube adapter into the drain: problem solved. It stays in place even when we move the tubble vigorously during set up. (photo 2: $3 worth of parts from ACE hardware. Important note: I have filed completely smooth the rough top edges of the nut so it doesn't puncture the tubble floor).-- The only cup adapter we found on Amazon to fit the small cup holder on the Tubble is the Gadjit Cup Keeper Adapter (Gray). It works great and can even hold a 20 oz. (600ml) Gatorade bottle. I have also reviewed it in a separate post.Conclusion: we still love this bathtub even with its peccadillos. With my bathmat modification and handhold, minor modifications to the drain tub, and a cup holder adapter, this is a superlative bathtub that meets all my expectations and other requirements. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
