Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a previous intex 6 person spa owner (older model), I am really impressed with this one! The new look of the faux wood is great! I like the grey color scheme as well. The detachable control panel is a great addition and looks much more modern than other intex spas. You just lay it down on top of the pump and it charges itself. The pump is much quieter than my previous intex. The bubble jets are very strong and provide a better back massage than traditional hydrojets in my opinion. There is plenty of space in these 6 person models to stretch out and you can fit 4 adults comfortably. The bottom of the spa is nice and padded, so there’s really no need for additional padding underneath. Do not leave the light inside the spa. I went through 3 lights on my old model because water got into the batteries and caused corrosion and leaking of battery acid into the spa. Take it out and let it dry when you’re not using it and hopefully this should prevent the problem. Overall, it is a fantastic buy. My partner and I enjoyed many relaxing nights in our old intex and look forward to more in this one. The intex seats are unnecessary unless you’re very short. I find them to kind of get in the way and they put me too high out of the water. The intex cup holders are an absolute must! They can hold a drink and a cell phone with stability. I don’t use the headrests and find the walls of the tub to be comfortable. This model is currently 100 dollars more than the older navy blue model. The fact that it’s So much quieter, much more modern looking, and has a detachable control panel that can be placed on the top of the spa for easier reach, make it worth the extra 100. My parents have the 4 person navy colored model and it feels too cramped to me for 2 or more people (we are 6 ft 1 and 5 ft 9). The 6 person size is perfect for two people who sprawl out. I would like to see intex create a square model to maximize the space. I would also like to see them return the water jet and bubble jet combo spas to the US...it would be nice to have the option to use either, or, or both at once. FYI- it draws in outside air for the bubbles so you will lose temp over time. When it is in the low 40s, expect it to drop to around 94 degrees after about 2 hours. These things can usually stay in the 100s for at least 30 to 45 min even on a cold night in the low 40s. Having an option to go up to 108 like the goplus brand spas would be nice during the winter to increase the length of time in the spa. I had one of those and it couldn’t keep temp, but I would say 105 or 106 was the hottest I could tolerate without being uncomfortable. It was nice to set it at 16 and add another 20 to 30 min to the soak. Definitely worth the investment. Even the cheapest hard wall tubs are around 2k. At that rate, I can go through 4 of these before then.
