Never have used one but my question about walk-in tubs is... do you have to sit there until all the water runs out?
I think so. I think the worst part though is you have to sit there while it fills up too.

That is why, when, we retroed our master bath, we had the tub torn out and replaced with a walk in shower and big tiled sit on bench.
They're equipped with suction pumps to fast empty the water.
just below the bottom door line.
I never used one either, but I have researched them for the M-I-L. Yes, you do, because the door opens inwards, and you physically cannot open the door against all of that water pressure until the water drains down to about halfway. Then at that point if you do open the door, you will flood your floor.
I wouldn't recommend one of these walk-in tubs on a second floor bathroom, or on a first floor if the basement ceiling is finished. Massive spills and minor floods seem inevitable with these designs, especially if the grandkids 'play around' in the bathroom with them.
