Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Better Bath Deep Water Bath
Customer Review: Simple design but effective
Summary: 4 Stars
This is simply a flexible piece of plastic with a ring of small suction cups on the outside and a small hole on the top, raising the overflow level. I was honestly surprised it works as well as it does, I didn't believe those tiny suction cups would stop water from getting through. But it does!
We had to trim a portion off the top to accommodate the faucet, since the drain and faucet are butted up against each other on our cast iron clawfoot tub. Otherwise, it fits very nicely.
I've used it now about twenty or so times, and the suction cups - if you press them in too hard - will invert a bit and I have to press them out from the other side. Another tip to improve the suction would be to run them under the hot water first, a simple tip but necessary.
I actually found mine at Gordman's, if you have that store near you. Under $5 and no shipping costs.
Customer Review: FAN-freakin'-TASTIC!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like to take long hot baths and read. When I bought my house, I was very sad that tub would only hold about eight inches of water. And the water would get cold pretty quickly. So much for soakin' in the tub. I figured for ~$6, this was worth a try. When I saw it, I thought for sure the suction cups would leak water in. But they don't! Not in the least! I'm now able to fully submerge myself in the tub. The thing that I found most surprising is how much longer the water stays warm. I had seriously considered drilling small holes in the exterior of the tub to inject spray insulation thinking that might help retain the warm temperature longer. Now I don't need to do that. This little gizmo changed my "sit in 8 inches of water that gets cold in 15 minutes" tub into a "be completely enveloped in warm water for an hour" tub. Two huge thumbs up from me.Customer Review: Seems to work
Summary: 4 Stars
It was pretty easy to figure out what to do with this gizmo. Still, it would have been nice if it came with some instructions - just to be sure I did not miss anything. As far as I can tell, you just stick it on your tub, right over the overflow plate. There is a hole in the plastic. I assumed the hole is supposed to face up - otherwise water would flow into it, defeating the purpose of the device. I am not sure what the hole is for, though. When done with your bath, remove this cover and pull down your bath's trip lever to let out the water. Then put the device away for future use. At least I think that is how this is supposed to work. Instructions would have been nice. In any case, I tried it once and it seems to work well enough. Hence, the four stars.Customer Review: Deep Water Bath Is Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used this product for several years. This is a good product... effective, and gives you the ability to have a good soak with your shoulders down in the water. However, order TWO of them (I did). They don't last forever... only a year or two, depending on how much you use it. After that, the little suction cups stop working (so it falls off and doesn't work), and the clear plastic becomes discolored and kind of funky.
Still, I can't find anything else that makes a deeper bath possible. I like having a second one anyhow. I keep it in my suitcase... it does a good job in hotel bathtubs. Sometimes after a long day of traveling, I NEED a hot bath! Hotel tubs can be really shallow.
Customer Review: Close to heaven as you can get underwater
Summary: 5 Stars
This simple device cures the engineering deficiencies of the American bathroom and turns the old austere clawfoot tub into a decadent Roman bath. Great product. Get it. I've bought many and am buying more now.
Now for the flaws...
1. If left on the drain and thus wet inside, it will develop fascinating fungal stains in hot pink and black. Bleach doesn't help. So what. Replace as necessary.
2. If you have a clawfoot, it needs the top edge trimmed off if you want to get as deep a bath as possible. Use scissors and get an extra two inches.
Other than that... perfect! Now, draw yourself a steaming bath and relax.
