The only permanent Ella's Bubbles showroom is in Chicago. Every tub is assembled, jetted and tested to order there, so dealers and retail stores do not keep Ella tubs on their floors, and there is no stocked display in Houston, Phoenix, Seattle or most other cities. There are three ways to see a tub anyway: the mobile showroom that visits homes between West Palm Beach and Miami by appointment, a small number of installers in the network who keep a display unit, and the live video tour from Chicago, which is how most owners choose their tub.

Why There Is No Display Near You

Ella's Bubbles is the manufacturer. Tubs are made per order and are not stocked anywhere, so each one comes from Chicago and ships throughout the United States and Canada. Dealers typically do not carry show models, and retailer floors such as Home Depot do not have Ella tubs on display either; a tub sold through a retailer is the same tub assembled, jetted and tested in Chicago. That is why the team will tell you honestly that there is no showroom in your state, and why most customers choose from the live video tour, the model videos and the spec sheets.

The South Florida Mobile Showroom

For homes between West Palm Beach and Miami, the mobile showroom comes to you. A van carrying display models visits by appointment so you can see a walk-in tub before purchasing. The display models listed on the mobile showroom page are the Ultra, the Capri and the Transfer30, which together cover the inward-swing glass door, the outward-swing U-shape door and the wheelchair transfer L-shape door.

1. Request a visit through the form at ellasbubbles.com/walk-in-tub/mobile-showroom/ or by calling (800) 480-6850.
2. A team member touches base to confirm the appointment. The mobile showroom works to a schedule by city, so the team checks which area it is visiting before confirming a date.
3. If your address is outside the West Palm Beach to Miami corridor, the team will say so and offer the live video tour instead. The mobile showroom does not reach every part of Florida.

Installers and Dealers with a Display Unit

A few contractors in the installer network keep a display model of their own. One example the team has offered is a contractor installer southeast of Seattle who has had a display model available for demonstrations. Availability changes, so the best approach is to give the team your zip code and the model you are considering; they can reach out to local contractors and resellers to check whether anyone near you has a unit you can sit in, and with your permission pass along your contact details so the installer can schedule a time.

What You Can Do Instead

• Live video tour. A specialist walks the Chicago showroom on a video call, sits in the tub, and takes seat and doorway measurements for you. Details are in booking a live video tour.
• Sit-in comparisons at home. Measure the bather's hips and compare against the seat widths in walk-in tub dimensions by model and seat sizes and soaking depth.
• Family video tours. Every door family has a walkthrough video, for example the outward U-door family tour.
• Visit Chicago. If you are willing to travel, you can sit in the tubs at the Chicago showroom, including the two-seat models, by scheduling a visit in advance. See seeing a tub in person.

This walkthrough covers the outward-swing U-shape door family, the same door design as the Capri that rides in the mobile showroom. It shows the low threshold and textured floor, Dual Drain Technology with two 2-inch drains, the three-speed air massage with auto purge, hydro massage with the in-line heater and intensity dial, ozone sterilization, the three-latch gear and shaft locking mechanism, the two-piece and five-piece fast-fill faucet sets, and options such as microbubble therapy, chromatherapy, aromatherapy, the heated seat and backrest, the four-fold glass screen, head and seat pillows, and the choice of easy-touch buttons or a digital touch pad.
