Ella Deluxe 30x55: Extra Legroom With a Fixed Air and Hydro Package

Updated September 2026

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.

Watch the Deluxe

The video presents the Deluxe as a taller-bather tub with 46.5 inches of interior length and a 22 inch seat, shows that 29.5 inches of width fits a 30 inch doorway, and tours the air and hydro jets including hip and bidet jets, the dual 4-port drains, the 5-piece faucet, and the swivel tray.

This family overview shows what the Deluxe shares with the other stainless inward-door tubs: the brushed stainless door with frosted tempered glass that lifts out for cleaning, the stainless frame with adjustable leveling legs, dual 2 inch drains, three-speed air with auto purge, hydro with in-line heater and intensity dial, ozone, the 5-piece or 2-piece faucet, the swivel tray, chromatherapy, the optional heated seat, and the 4-fold screen or shower column accessories.

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 team recommends it at that size. Taller bathers with 60 inches available may prefer the Ultimate.
How tall is the Deluxe?
39 inches overall to the top of the deck.
Can I get brushed nickel?
Yes for the faucet set; grab bars, jets, and trim stay chrome.
Can I order the Deluxe as a soaker or hydro-only?
No. It ships as a fixed Air + Hydro package with the LED light and ozone. For a soaker in the stainless-door family, look at the Elite, Petite or Royal.
Does the Deluxe offer microbubble or independent foot massage?
Independent Hydro Foot Massage can be added, and microbubble is a special order on this model. Both must be built in at the factory, so decide before the order is placed.
Will it fit through a 30 inch doorway?
The shell is 29.5 inches wide, so it passes a 30 inch opening with the side panels removed; the crate is 33.5 inches wide and can be opened outside. Measure every hallway and turn along the way.
Can I choose the door and drain side?
Yes. The Deluxe comes in left-hand and right-hand versions; the door and controls sit on one side and the drains on the other, so choose based on where your house drain is, as explained in choosing left or right hand.
How does it fill a 60 inch alcove?
With the included 4 inch extension panel and the reversible end panel; the panel is trimmed to fit and can go on either end.
How many electrical circuits does the base package need?
The Air + Hydro package runs on one dedicated 20 amp GFCI line. Adding the heated seat or the independent foot pump calls for a second line; your electrician confirms against the schematic for your package.
