ANZZI MediTub Walk-In Jetted Tub vs Gelcoat Value Series 52 in. Walk-In Tub

Buy the ANZZI MediTub if you want a wider, more spacious alcove tub with a stainless steel frame and a friction heater that keeps water warm without drawing power. Buy the Gelcoat Value Series if your bathroom is tight or you are replacing a standard tub, since its included extender lets it retrofit the same footprint. Owners of both praise the safety features and the combined air and water massage; the Gelcoat's outward-opening door and chair-height seat draw more praise from caregivers, while the ANZZI's steel frame and larger basin suit bigger bathers.

• Choose the ANZZI MediTub if you have room for a 30 x 54 alcove install and want a stainless steel frame, a larger soak, and a heater that runs without extra power.
• Choose the Gelcoat Value Series if you are retrofitting a standard tub space or want an outward-opening door, a chair-height seat, and a longer door-seal warranty.
