" ... It gets really nice & hot! ... "
" ... It does take several hours to heat up (even in the summers of Oklahoma), but we use it every evening while enjoying looking at the stars. ... "
" ... This hot tub is awesome for the price! ... "
" ... I would recommend this if you are wanting an affordable hot tub. ... "
" ... -Heats up 2-3 degrees per hour and definitely hot enough for my preference (my optimal temp is 102). ... I set this up from the get go, so I actually don't know how much this is helping, but to insulate the hot tub from the ground, I purchased 2 1 inch 4x8ft foam insulation boards and cut them down into a circle using the included ground cover as a template. ... "
" ... We love our SaluSpa hot tub! ... "
" ... Although this is identical, it heats faster, holds heat better, and we are very happy with it. ... Still, at roughly ten percent as costly as regular hot tubs, this is a great option when hot tub therapy is needed. ... "
" ... We got this to see if we would use a hot tub frequently enough to warrant getting a 'real' hot tub but are thinking we may stick with this one! ... "

" ... Cover fits securely and tub fits four people. ... "
" ... And feels good. ... "
" ... I did put down extra padding for it to sit on as recommended by others on here and Im sure it has helped. ... "
" ... It's great for the two of us to sit comfortably with our legs stretched out. ... The air is still holding strong, and no signs of the usual deflation I would expect from an inflatable product. ... "

" ... Plus, it doesn't hold air. ... "
" ... (I have only had two people in it, but a third would fit in nicely, I don't know about 4.) ... "
" ... The top for the spa does not clip. ... One connector does not screw on correctly and therefore leaks. ... "
" ... With the exception of the wrong cover being in my box (the securing clips don't match so I can't clip the cover down) I contacted the company via Amazon and still no response. ... "

" ... After the first filter change it has stayed clean! ... "
" ... The air bubbles were outstanding. ... "
" ... Add chemicals and clean/change the filters and you're all set. ... That is enough to last 6 months (changing the 2 filters monthly) if you don't want to clean them, and cleaning your filters you will have enough for many years. ... The bubbles are surprisingly good at giving you a massage, but you can't use them with the heater on. ... "

" ... We love our SaluSpa hot tub! ... "
" ... But for $300 it is nice to jump in the warm water. ... "
