Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased my first Progressive International Collapsible tub from Amazon in August 2011 and have been using it, happily, ever since. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I didn't have another one for the other, (rinsing), half of my double sink and I've just remedied today that with my order for a second tub. Another reviewer mentioned that it might be difficult for an older person or someone without much upper body strength to collapse the tub. I have to agree with that because the tub's construction and the material have to be tough enough to stand up to being opened, used and collapsed at least once a day, every day, and sometimes more than that. And they do. Since I am an older person, (75 and a half to be exact), and was also diagnosed with Parkinson's three years ago, this is definitely an issue for me. While it's true that I can't hold the tub up in the air and collapse it because my arms are just not that strong, I have no trouble at all if I set it upside down on a stable surface, such as the kitchen table or the double sink's divider, and shove it down with my forearms. Incidentally, I do not consider myself "elderly" and only apply that term to someone who is fifteen years older than myself. (With the exception of Betty White, of course.) All in all, this tub is everything it's cracked up to be and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.
