Product Review: The Empava EMPV-72JT367LED Whirlpool Bathtub
Why We Love It
The Empava EMPV-72JT367LED Whirlpool Bathtub stands out for its unique side-by-side two-person configuration, making it one of the most spacious whirlpool bathtubs available today, and one of our best sellers.
If you have the space and desire a statement piece that provides a relaxing, spa-like experience, this bathtub is the ideal choice.
The user-friendly controls and generously sized tub basin are particularly accommodating for larger and taller individuals. The angled backrest isn't contoured, which is a plus if you prefer to remove the headrest and bathe solo.
What We Didn’t Like
The bathtub’s size, while a benefit for spaciousness, can be a drawback when it comes to installation. Its bulky dimensions make it challenging to move through the doorway of most bathrooms, requiring at least two people to maneuver it into place for attaching the drain, water valves, and electrical connections. We recommend at least 100 square feet of space to comfortably accommodate this unit.
The left-hand drain design may limit the bather's view direction, so consider this if you have a scenic view you wish to enjoy while bathing. A reversible drain would be much better.
Additionally, this bathtub isn't entirely freestanding; the side behind the fixtures is not covered by a panel, as it allows access to components like water hookups and electrical cords, making it somewhat of an alcove-freestanding hybrid. It also lacks an in-line heater, compared to other bathtubs of a similar size.
Conclusion
If you're seeking a spacious, comfortable whirlpool bathtub to relax and stretch out in, the EMPV-72JT367LED is our top pick.
There is nothing quite like it in terms of length and width available on the market for the price. Its luxurious space and user-friendly design make it an exceptional addition to any large bathroom space.
