2 SHOWERS IN THIS HOUSE, (NICE -- INSTALLED BY BATH FITTERS) BUT WOULD LOVE A TUB. HAVE SALESPERSON COMING TOMORROW (KOHLER). WE HAVE NOT DONE RESEARCH. TRYING TO QUICK GATHER SOME INFO ABOUT WHETHER THEY (ANY KIND OR BRAND) ARE ANY GOOD. OR WHAT FEATURES ARE GOOD IDEA AND WHAT ARE A WASTE. WE MIGHT END UP BUYING A 'NORMAL' TYPE TUB...OR A FANCY JETTED THING. DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT. WOULD LOVE TO HEAR PROS AND CONS AND ANY EXPERIENCES OR INFO ANY OF YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANKS. SORRY FOR THE RUSH. DOH. (WE JUST DECIDED TO FINALLY TAKE SOME ACTION. I SO MISS A TUB.) CATBATTY

If you are going to have one, make sure you can fill it quickly and drain it quickly because you have to sit there wet and getting cold while it drains. Could you do a regular tub with a shower?

Thanks for your reply, Beth.  We were not terribly impressed after the sales presentation yesterday. Yes, Kohler does have quick empty (2 minutes or a bit more, so he said) plus heated seat and backrest. But gee, nowhere to test one out. Only offered to let us go long distance to office across town to see an empty model. The price time we get done with some elec and water heater work/replacement...around 30k after some discounts. For that kind of money, I'd like a real try-out. Salesman couldn't offer ideas there. SO, no. I think we won't. Bathtub, naw. I think we will just keep what we have. Even a plain soaking tub from them would be 16k. I think I like what we have now (looks-wise) and don't really want anybody to tear it up and us have so little control about what it will look like after. Lots of get-away places have baths...I'll get mine then, I think. We pass on any change ideas. But it was fun getting an education about walk-ins (and the pricing). Always wondered.

Makes me think of the Japanese soaking tubs. If I were to build a new house, I'd consider it. Also a nice sauna...I digress. Just dreaming...
