| Hello, Considering the Maax Rubix tub - does anyone have any experience with this tub? |

| It reminds me a lot of the Mirabelle Edenton - I was also considering some freestanding tubs by Maax - the Ella, the Sax and the Jazz - they look great but most showrooms in NJ don't have them on their floor - it's so hard to buy a soaking tub without actually sitting in it but I may have to do that. I hope there are some Maax owners out there. |

| I bought the Maxx Jazz F free standing tub from Quality Bath. I love it, great price, 25 year warranty. |

| I looked at this one too (online - couldn't find one IRL) - had about as large a basin as will fit in the common 5' space, more than the Mirabelle Edenton, but I've found sharp-cornered, steep-walled tubs I've tried not to be comfortable to use. |

| Suzsuz, did you go with this tub? I'm considering it myself. I love the sleekness of it but I'm concerned about two things; the narrow deck width (not much room to put things), and the fact that it's a smooth bottom not textured. I'm afraid that might be a bad idea considering it will also be a shower. |

| I did! But it's sitting in the warehouse waiting for us to pick it up. I'll let you know how it turns out. It will be used primarily as a shower so the deck wasn't an issue - it's a very tight bathroom so this tub was the best option for foot space and the height was perfect. I also ordered a second tub the Hydro Sydney - very similar but more $ and a little taller. |

| This is an obviously good pick for mostly shower use, given the maxed-out floor space. Would like a report as to how comfortable it is to use as a tub though. |

| I just placed the order for my 66x32 Rubix tub this morning. It will be at least a couple of months before I'm in the house and able to try it out but after extensive research I think I'll be happy with it. This youtube video helped with my decision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8naRqyjpY8 Also, I spoke with someone at Maax about my concern regarding the smooth bottom and he said that sometimes textured acrylic can actually be more slippery because the "bumps" in the surface will leave pockets of water under your foot and therefore lessen your traction. But in a smooth bottom your foot makes full contact with the surface and creates better grip. I don't know if this is true or not but it sounded good to me and put me somewhat at ease. I've also realized after reading your comments about the comfort of the steep walls that I never really lay back in my tub. I pretty much always sit up straight with my back away from the backrest. Weird, huh? |
