The Ella Deluxe walk-in tub is the 55 inch stainless-steel-door tub for average to taller bathers who want more legroom without a 60 inch footprint: actual size 29.5 inches wide by 55 inches long by 39 inches high, a 21 inch seat, and about 107 gallons unoccupied. Unlike its siblings in the stainless inward-door family it ships as a fixed dual-massage package, Air + Hydro with LED chromatherapy and ozone sterilization, and a 4 inch extension panel brings it to a standard 60 inch alcove.

Size and Fit

  • Actual 29.5 in W x 55 in L x 39 in H; crate 58.5 x 33.5 x 46 in; net 212 lb, shipping 286 lb.
  • Seat 21 in on the spec sheet (22 in in the video), 16 in seat length, 46.5 in interior length.
  • 107 gallons unoccupied, 60 to 75 gallons occupied.
  • At 29.5 in wide it passes a standard 30 in doorway, as the video and the team confirm; the doorway measurement guide explains how to check every turn along the route.
  • A 4 in extension panel (not the 7 in panel of the 52 in models) plus a reversible end panel bring it to a 60 in alcove; see alcove fit and extension panels.

Included

  • Air: 16 jets (8 seat, 8 foot), 4.5A 500W three-speed pump with Auto Purge, which starts about 20 minutes after the air pump is turned off and runs 120 seconds.
  • Hydro: 14 jets (8 seat, 6 foot), 7A 1000W pump, intensity dial, ozone, in-line heater 6A 650W; the video highlights the hip and bidet jets.
  • LED chromatherapy 0.5A; removable stainless door, deck and wall grab bars, 360 degree swivel tray, dual 2 in 4-port drains, 5-piece fast-fill faucet (up to 18 GPM) with 5 ft supply lines.
  • Optional heated seat and backrest.

Changing the Package

The Deluxe is not offered as a soaker or hydro-only. The team can add Independent Hydro Foot Massage so it matches the Ultimate's Hydro + Air + Foot set, and microbubble therapy is available as a special order. Ask your Ella dealer or the team for the electrical schematic for your package before your electrician plans the circuits; the base package runs on dedicated GFCI 110/120V 60Hz service, and combinations with the foot pump or heated seat add a second line, as the electrical requirements guide explains.

Deluxe Versus Elite and Ultimate

The Elite is 3 inches shorter at 52 inches with a 22 inch seat and a choice of packages, so it suits narrower spaces and bathers who do not need the extra legroom. The Ultimate fills a full 60 inches with independent foot massage standard. The Deluxe sits between them: more interior length than the Elite, and a 4 inch panel instead of a 5 inch gap to fill when the alcove is 60 inches.

Common Questions

Is the Deluxe a good fit for a 5 ft 11, 175 lb bather?
Yes, the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub is recommended for a bather who is 5 ft 11 and 175 lb. This model offers 46.5 inches of interior length for extra legroom. Taller bathers who have a full 60 inches of space available may prefer the Ella Ultimate walk-in tub, which is 60 inches long.
How tall is the Deluxe?
The Ella Deluxe walk-in tub is 39 inches tall overall, measured to the top of the deck. Its actual dimensions are 29.5 inches wide by 55 inches long by 39 inches high. The seat height is 21 inches on the spec sheet, or 22 inches as shown in the video.
Can I get brushed nickel?
Yes, you can get brushed nickel for the faucet set on the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub. However, the grab bars, jets, and trim will remain chrome. The 5-piece fast-fill faucet set can deliver up to 18 gallons per minute.
Can I order the Deluxe as a soaker or hydro-only?
No, the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub cannot be ordered as a soaker or hydro-only model. It ships as a fixed dual-massage package, which includes Air + Hydro with LED chromatherapy and ozone sterilization. For a soaker option within the stainless inward-door family, you can consider the Ella Elite, Petite, or Royal models.
Does the Deluxe offer microbubble or independent foot massage?
Independent Hydro Foot Massage can be added to the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub, and microbubble therapy is available as a special order. Both of these features must be built in at the factory, so you should decide before placing your order. Adding the independent foot pump will require a second electrical line.
Will it fit through a 30 inch doorway?
Yes, the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub will fit through a standard 30-inch doorway. The tub shell is 29.5 inches wide, allowing it to pass through a 30-inch opening once the side panels are removed. The shipping crate is 33.5 inches wide and can be opened outside the home; remember to measure every hallway and turn along the route.
Can I choose the door and drain side?
Yes, you can choose the door and drain side for the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub. It comes in left-hand and right-hand versions. The door and controls are on one side, and the drains are on the other, so you should choose based on the location of your house drain.
How does it fill a 60 inch alcove?
The Ella Deluxe walk-in tub fills a 60-inch alcove using its included 4-inch extension panel and a reversible end panel. This 4-inch extension panel is specifically designed for the 55-inch Deluxe model, unlike the 7-inch panel used with 52-inch models. The panel can be trimmed to fit and placed on either end of the tub.
How many electrical circuits does the base package need?
The base Air + Hydro package for the Ella Deluxe walk-in tub requires one dedicated 20 amp GFCI electrical line. If you add the optional heated seat or the independent foot pump, a second dedicated electrical line will be needed. Your electrician should confirm the requirements against the electrical schematic for your specific package.
Why is the Deluxe recommended as the deeper tub?
The Deluxe is 55 inches long and 39 inches tall with a 17 inch seat, so it feels deeper than the 35 inch Ultimate and fits a 60 inch alcove with its extension panel. Its back jets sit lower on the backrest, so the back massage works without filling to the overflow, while the Ultimate's jets are recessed and higher.
