A soaker tub is a basic walk-in bathtub that has no hydrotherapy jets. Most entry-level units come with a leak-proof door and grab bar, as well as a handheld shower accessory for convenience. Walk-in tubs have a fair amount of pros and cons, so the decision to make your purchase depends on which side outweighs the other. Be sure to consider your particular needs and capabilities. After all, these mechanisms are a pricey investment, but they can also make your life much safer and simpler.
