It’s a nice option to have in case some users like it, but we found they don’t add much value. In terms of performance, this Intex inflatable spa is worth every single penny. It was very easy to set up and we had this unit out of the box and ready for water in about 25 minutes. Once filled with air, the 65” inner diameter filled with about 290 gallons of water, true to the manufacturer specs. The water heater of this hot tub was also worked described, raising the temperature by about 1.5 degrees every hour to our desired setting of 104 degrees.
If you’ve used in-ground tubs or fabricated portable spas, you’re probably used to sitting in a tun with a seat. When the water is at your preferred temperature, it is ready for you to slip into the hot tub and relax. The digital control panel is on the side of the hot tub, so you can control the water heater and massage system just by reaching out your hand. While it may not be a deal-breaking feature, you may find that square models and the two-person rowboat style hot tubs have a little more legroom for bathers. Of course, the space also depends on how many bathers you have in the spa at one time.
It is significantly cheaper than Coleman’s tub even though it is the same exact product. If you are willing to purchase an inflatable tub from a brand that you are unfamiliar with, then you can get a steal with the Bestway SaluSpa Miami. Cushion– We found the cushion flooring of this product to be much softer than most, and the pattern even replicates a mosaic typically seen on the lining of a pool. It’s refreshing to see Coleman focus on the quality and experience that users have while in this tub. Often manufacturer priorities lie in the hardware of the blower, water heater, and air jet system; but none of that matters if the product isn’t comfortable sit in. The first thing that we noticed about this unit, even before we filled it up with water was how comfortable, the bottom especially, was compared to others.
It’s also sturdy enough that you can sit on the sides while soaking your feet and calves. The smaller Intex PureSpa 4-Person Hot Tub can’t fit more than four people, so you might want to check out the other models if you’re planning to have a hot tub party any time soon. If you need bubble therapy or deep relaxation for one to four adults, this is the perfect model for you. It is capable of high levels of performance in low air temperatures, which is a characteristic that we value highly in a blow up jacuzzi. As part of our practical review, we left the tub running, exposed to sub-freezing temperatures, overnight and it easily maintained max water temperature.
Both cover and base blanket are handy cost saving things, but to really cut energy costs an investment in a solar blanket will pay back its cost many times over. They are easy enough to tailor exactly to the dimensions of the tub. Most modern inflatable tubs don’t come with this feature, but the Intex portable spa offers built in hardwater treatment as standard. In our Intex PureSpa review we are focusing on the 77” PureSpa Bubble Massage tub, but also looking at it’s big brother.
