What are the advantages of walk-in bathtubs with handheld showerheads?

A handheld showerhead makes it easier to rinse while seated in a walk-in bathtub and can reduce the need to reach across the tub. Compare the hose length, grip, spray controls and holder position with your own reach and dexterity. A lightweight handset may be more comfortable to use, but suitability varies. Include the faucet set and installation in your walk-in tub price comparison, and keep the hose clear of the entry area.
