Why buy a $10,000 hot tub when you can get this?
Just like my headline says, if you can get this, do it! I mean, if you have 10,000 bucks to blow on a regular hot tub, do that too but if you want room enough for 2-3 people this is all you need. I plan on only using this in the cooler months and in the summer taking it down so I have space in my yard again. Don't let a hot tub take up your whole deck when you can get one of these. Here are some pros and cons of having this hot tub:
Pros:
It's cheaper
It heats up fast. From 68 degree water to 104 it took overnight
Easy set up (if you know what you're doing - see cons)
It has an easy to use interface on the pump
The jets work beautifully and feel just like a regular hot tub
Cons:
If you don't know what you're doing, set up may be difficult. The instructions included with the tub are terrible. They are in a very small text and are not very detailed. There is a YouTube video that showed how to set it up. That helped a lot.
Coleman says you need to clean the filter out everyday (this honestly will depend on use) If you use it everyday I would clean the filters everyday
A beginners kit of chemicals would be nice. I had to go to my local spa store and buy products and a test strip kit to get started. They do include a chlorine/bromine floater though and that was nice.
There is an automatic shutoff on the pump after 3-ish days of non use. If you use the tub daily then this won't be a problem.
Honestly after getting in this thing I did not notice a difference between a hard sided hot tub and this one. Now if you want to have 6-8 people in a hot tub this is not for you. It will sit 2-3 people comfortably, maybe 4 if you sit a certain way. But I bought it only for my wife and I to use so it works. I am very happy with my purchase and it is well worth the money.
