I’m looking for your favorite soaking tubs. Looking at the big retailers is a bit overwhelming. I’m looking for something deep, wide and easy to clean.
No jets.

Does anyone have a soaking tub they love?
 
We have a huge, deep soaking tub. It's made by Jacuzzi (no jets and sadly no heater) It's rather useless since you have to practically empty your hot water heater to fill it and without a heater the water cools and so you get to sit in tepid water.

We took out the very large step up and into soaking tub for a free standing Victoria & Alvert double glass slipper tub.
 
How do you define "soaking tub" ? We were arguing about this around my office about a month ago, with some stating it's only a soaking tub if you can fully lie down in it, vs others saying it's a soaking tub if it's deep enough to be covered in water.
I found the internet said it was when you can submerge up to your shoulders. The question made me wonder if people would answer the opposite of how you view it - such as the link for the 69" tub, which wouldn't have met the "fully lie down" definition for taller people.
 
Soaking tub seems like a trendy new term for a bathtub. With all of these you fill it up with water to the desired level and sit in it. We still prefer a shower vs. a bath. Seems like getting in/out of them could be a challenge since their high edges are so far off the ground. Those TV home design shows seem all enamored with them.

The house we bought 3 years ago has these puny shallow tub/shower combos that were not worth it for an adult bath. I went to a local shop and sat in different tubs to decide what was comfortable. Got an acrylic one by signature hardware, made sure it was big enough for me to stretch my legs out fully (some are short). Make sure you check the interior dimensions. I think it is a 59" hibiscus model? Not extremely deep because I have to be able to get in & out of it, 14" water depth which works for me.
