Is the MediTub worth the extra $1,361 over the HOROW?

Only if you want air massage and the inline heater. The MediTub adds 16 air injectors, a heater and two extra inches of width. If a whirlpool soak is enough, the HOROW does that for less.

Which is better for arthritis or muscle pain?

The MediTub offers more therapy: six adjustable whirlpool jets plus warm air bubbles. The HOROW gives 10 fixed whirlpool nozzles. Both provide hydromassage, but the MediTub lets you combine two massage types.

Which has the easier step-in?

The HOROW publishes a 5.5-inch threshold, which is low for a walk-in tub. MediTub calls its entry low-step but does not state a height, so the HOROW is the safer bet if stepping over a curb is hard.

Will either tub fit a small bathroom?

The HOROW is 27 x 53 inches, so it fits where the 30 x 54 MediTub will not. Measure your alcove and door swing first; both are left-drain, inward-swinging models.

Do both keep the water warm?

The MediTub lists an inline heater that maintains water temperature. The HOROW description does not list a heater, so expect the water to cool during a long soak.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan. The MediTub specifies reinforced acrylic on a stainless-steel frame, which is a sturdier build spec than the HOROW description gives. Warranties are not stated for either here.
