Kohler Review

Safety Features

The safety features of Kohler’s walk-in bathtubs include:

Ultra-low Step-In Height

With a step-in height of only 3 inches, Kohler’s walk-in bathtubs are perfect for users of all ages, particularly users with limited mobility or joint pain issues. The low step-in height ensures entry into the walk-in bathtub is as easy and convenient as possible. Kohler also includes indented handrails on the walls and sides of the walk-in bathtubs to further ensure safe entry and exit from the walk-in tub.

Slip-Resistant Surfaces

Kohler’s walk-in bathtub floors are textured to serve as slip protection in the bathtub and facilitate safe transition from standing to sitting and vice versa.

Wide Doors

The walk-in bathtub is specifically designed to have extra-wide doors to improve walk-in tub accessibility. In fact, Kohler’s walk-in bathtubs are overall more accessible than walk-in tubs produced by other manufacturers. The walk-in tub doors are available in both left and right-sided options, ensuring that the walk-in tub remains a perfect fit for you regardless of your configuration preferences. The door’s handle is easy to turn and, upon turning, ensures the walk-in tub is watertight. The extra-wide doors are also indented on the top for added grip.

Walk-In Tub Control Panel

The walk-in tub’s control panel is ergonomic in nature to allow for easy reach, simplicity, and convenience in operating. The walk-in tub’s control panel has arrow buttons located on its right side that can be used to activate and regulate the strength of the whirlpool massage jets. The colored buttons situated on the left side of the control panel can be used to modify the temperature of the tub’s Bask heated backrest. The control panel also has circular white buttons on either side that are used to activate and deactivate the tub’s BubbleMassage jets. Each feature can be independently activated or simultaneously activated to allow users to enjoy a complete spa-like experience!

Comfort Features

Because Kohler’s walk-in tubs are designed with user comfort and experience in mind, every walk-in tub produced also contains top-quality luxury features that allow users to have a spa-like bathing experience right in their homes.

These comfort features include:

Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Jets

Each walk-in bathtub contains 10 whirlpool hydrotherapy jets that can be individually activated, precisely adjusted, and regulated to target stress points along body parts such as the spine, legs, and feet. This hydrotherapy feature inclusion is beneficial for every user, particularly seniors with mobility issues and patients recovering from surgical procedures. The quiet motor and pump of the whirlpool jets ensure that bathing and soaking experience will always be quiet and peaceful. The tubs also contain BubbleMassage Air Jets that surround users’ bodies in thousands of tiny, oxygen-rich bubbles that provide invigorating effects.

Fast Drain Technology

The walk-in tubs are also fitted with a quick drain technology that helps to ensure minimal waiting time for users. This quick drain feature can be connected to your home’s existing plumbing system, so there is no need for extensive or major renovations. The opening and closing of the drain are easily operated via a handle located beneath the hand shower.

Bask Heated Backrest

Kohler’s walk-in bathtubs have a heated backrest that helps to keep the neck and back warm while the bath is filling with water. The tub’s heated backrest can be adjusted to provide three levels of heat. The tub is also economical in design. Its heater only utilizes electrical energy comparable to that used by a standard light bulb. This ensures that consumers don’t have to worry about running up a huge electricity bill in their bid to have a better, more-comfortable bathing experience. The backrest begins to warm up once the tub is in use. The temperature of the backrest can be adjusted to complement that of the bathwater.

Multifunction Handshower

Each walk-in bathtub also contains a multifunction handheld shower wand designed with a swivel base that can be used to target hard-to-reach body areas during baths. The handheld shower has three adjustable spray settings, including a gentle spray setting specially developed for users with sensitive skin. The spray setting can be easily changed with a single thumb tab.

Each walk-in tub is also designed to have an extra-wide seat for maximum bathing comfort. This extra-wide seat also allows for relining, ensuring that soaking experiences will always be comfortable and pleasurable. Kohler has also recently introduced an optional shower package to enable users to enjoy the best bathtubs and showers in one perfectly fitted hybrid package.
