Review on πŸ›€ Inflatable Portable Bathtub: Compact Foldable Plastic Bath Tub for Adults - Large Size Soaking Spa Tub by Brian Forbis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far so good, but there are a few caveats

Well I've had a long draw guy before and I really liked him but it was starting to have problems getting the air in the bottom 2 rings to keep, so i went to look for a new one. I saw this design and decided to give it a try. Here are the good points, it held the water well and hot like my stretched dinghy. Also, the valve on the outside was a good way to ensure I could empty it without having to reach into the water to pull out the plastic plug like on my stretched model. The lid was good and you could feel it held the heat well. Now for the cons and warnings: it was just about enough for me. I'm about 5 feet 9 inches and 225 pounds. I'm tall, but not huge, and while sitting in it for about an hour and a half I couldn't straighten up properly "Indian" and had to keep my knees bent at the ankles. That could be because he was a bit taller. Another issue was that I had to lean forward and do a really hard crunch when trying to tilt my head to get at my hair, which could have grown back leaving only most of my head underwater was, as opposed to a stretched hair bed model where I could just bend my knees and dip my head under water to wash my hair. And a big warning: DO NOT take this model if you have pets, especially curious cats. My cat smelled the water and decided he needed to see what I was doing so he got up and put his paws on the inflated ring on top and as you can guess I now have some pieces of tape covering some of these pinholes. from his claws. When the top ring deflates, it looks like a very wobbly structure, and while it can still work without the inflated ring, I still get a bit mad at my cat for it. If you wish, you can get one of these tubs in the form of barrels. I'd recommend this one if you're single with no pets, but if you want the best and have pets then look for the ones that have a tube top ring rather than an inflatable one, which just gives it a more solid structural feel to the you can rest

Pros
  • Kitchen and bathroom fixtures
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
