A job well done.

The two men that did the installation were very friendly and professional. They answered any questions we had. After installation was completed they gave us a tutorial/ walkthrough as to how everything worked.

The best purchase ever.The crew showed up on time

The crew showed up on time. Was very impressed with the way got to things and very knowledgeable with what they were doing and the product they were installing. They were done in about four hours. The sales person was very knowledgeable and explained how things were going to be done. The tub works very well and is easy to use. The best purchase I have made in years. Looking forward to being able to use it for many many years.

They stood me up on 12-08-2022

They stood me up on 12-08-2022. When they finally did install it was raining and the grass (yard)!was torn up along with large holes left. No one asked them to park in the yard. I also have a mess around the door frame, I wasn’t shown anything as to how it even works. I took 2 days just cleaning up after them. Jason Mutz refuses to fix. Half the items don’t work

Safe Step Tub is the Best!!!

The salesman was thorough and knwoledgeable. The installation team was excellent...you'd never know that the tub was added and replaced the standard tub that came with the house. I've only taken showers for the last 25 years, and now soaking in this tub with water jets, air jets, and heated seat & back is delightful. Wish I'd gotten one years ago.

Worst Costumer Service - EVER

Let me tell you about the experience my parents, and by extension, I've had with this company.

We got a tub in late March 2022 to help my father with leg pain and have something safe. While our tub was being installed, the installers almost got into a fistfight in the driveway. My mother was close to calling the cops. They finally finished, and some drywall needed to be fixed, which Safe Step said they would cover. Great! It was so uncomfortable.

The first bath, well... it didn't drain quickly. In fact, it took over 30 minutes to drain at the normal drain speed. I'm not sure how that is quick. We called and had the same guy who installed the tub come out and insisted it was fine. Guess what, it wasn't! We had to call again, which was an endless back and forth. Finally, someone came and provided what seemed like a fix.

Okay, it worked for maybe two months. At that point, it wouldn't hold water. The only way to hold water was to put something very heavy on the drain. During this time, we also still hadn't the wall fixed. They were, to put it simply, completely ignoring us.

After calling every single number, I could find, I finally got someone to listen. They confused me with another customer and proceeded to snap at me for duplicity. They never bothered to look up our address vs. another family with the same last name (Maxwell). I know, shocking! There is more than one Maxwell in the state of Washington!

In September, I reminded them of all of our issues, including that we were told our check would not be cashed until we were happy. They cashed it well before we were happy.

After endless back and forth, the wall was finally fixed. However, we kept experiencing issues with the tub. We sent letters to the company's president by certified mail in early October. After that, we got some calming lip service but no actual service until December 14th. (Please note that the serviceman was lovely but was delayed by a family emergency, which no one at Safe Step informed us of, making me feel like a horrible person being pushy.)

If you want the tl:dr version - They have horrific customer service and treat customers like pests, and you have to beat down the door to get help. The tub, when it works right, is great, but Safe Step Tub is horrific to deal with and has left us highly disheartened.

AWESOME TUB!

Love my new tub! The day that SafeStep put my tub in was AWESOME! Two men showed up at 9am to put my tub in and were done at 1pm. The men were professional and friendly and cleaned up their mess! They showed me the how to work the tub and how to clean the tub. I love,love,love my tub! I would recommend that anyone who has Arthritis or diabetes to get one of these tubs! All of the SafeStep tubs are American made all of it in Tennessee and has a lifetime warranty! Love my new SafeStep tub!

We referred my mother to safestep in…

We referred my mother to safestep in August after our walkin tub was installed and it is now December, 3 months after her installation. We have requested our $500 referral reward every month since with no progress being made. The sales rep tries to correct the situation but hasn't been able to correct the problem.

All and all, a job well done!

My daughter and I spent many hours trying to decide what walk in tub we should buy. We decided it would be Safe Step. I am 80, and this tub was easy to move in and out of with no problem. The amenities of the tub are by far above all the other tubs we’ve seen.
From the time we met John (Monis), our sales person, and until the day that Joshua (Brunken) and Michael (Steen) finished the installation and the young man Mike, that came to fix a knob that had come out our experience has been great!
I have never done business with a company that employed so many pleasant and caring employees. From those that answer the phones to those that come into my home to complete the jobs.
All in All, I’d say a job well done! We love this wonderful tub!

Disappointing & impractical

My mom is a leg amputee. I was thinking she would finally be able to bath again. She can’t maneuver the tub. I have trouble getting into the tub because the inward opening door doesn’t allow much room to maneuver. If I were any healthier I wouldn’t be able to get in the tub at all. It takes a bit of time for the tub to fill up. So you’re just sitting there. Though I was told my hot water tank was big enough. It isn’t. The heated seat isn’t really warm. And the tub doesn’t heat the water. The water jets are loud not relaxing. For me it is a huge expensive disappointment. The salesperson was nice. The workers were nice and efficient. The tub just isn’t practical for me nor my mom.I wish I could return it. Further , I was told my water heater would be big enough. IWAS NOT ADVISED I MIGHT NEED TO UPGRADE. Had I known I would have responded “N” to the financier’s text. They asked “was the tub substantially installed?” Rather than “are you satisfied with or do you want to keep the tub.” It was substantially installed. So much for being honest.

Great experience all around!

It was extremely helpful to be able to visit the showroom and sit in different models of walk-in tub. We have users ranging from 6'1" and 280lbs down to 5'0" and 85lbs. We ended up with a tub that works for all of us, with no high-pressure sales tactics.

Our existing tub had a footprint larger than the new tub, so the installers had to get creative to fill it in without making it look odd or leaving us needing to redo our floor. They rose to the challenge, and the cultured marble wall, shelves and cover panels surrounding our new tub look like they were professionally designed.

My husband, who fell trying to get out of our old tub, came out from his first experience with the walk-in tub elated that not only did he not come close to falling, but his whole bathing experience was easier and left him relaxed instead of exhausted.

The crew was on time. Installed quickly, and professionally. Then showed me step by step how to operate. I found a small imperfection and the fixed immediately.

Your product is not what your sales…

Your product is not what your sales team is selling, not worth it even if it was half price.
