Will buy again, if this one ever dies.
This is our third one of these. This one being a larger model, but otherwise identical to the last 2. There is more water to this one, so you need to put the top on when not in use to avoid faster heat loss due to the increased surface area of the water. It comes with an LED light, and 2 inflatable pillows. I don't use the pillows, but the colored LED light in the water is kinda fun. It even has a color phasing setting. Maintenance is pretty easy. I don't bother much with the test strips. I use a PH enhancer, an occasional non-chlorine shock, some anti-foam, and chlorine tablets along with regular changing of the filters (3 weeks on these, but they're rated for a month, I believe). This will seat 6, but, that would be odd, so 2 to 4 is really better. An adult can sit all the way down and be submerged over their shoulders and their feet will not even touch the opposite side of the tub. Great for people who just like to soak in the hot water, but the bubble jets are many and intense if you like that. The last 2 we had died after they were shut off for a couple of weeks, and the pump was not cleared of water. You want to leave this running most of the time, at least on the filter setting. If you stop it for an extended period, purge the pump. It hasn't killed the electric bill, either. Since we converted to LED lighting at about the same time, that may have lead to me not noticing any massive fluctuation of the bill. Hope that answer most people's questions. You should buy this.
