I purchased this hot tub on 9/8 and it arrived on 9/23 so I was satisfied with the delivery speed considering they had to assemble the spa and arrange for freight delivery. The Spa was much easier to move than I thought it would be and we easily were able to get it into our sunroom. The spa arrived with all accessories as detailed in the description. It took about 18 hours for the spa to reach 101 degrees and that was with the water temperature at around 75 degrees out of the spigot. We were able to quickly balance the chemicals and begin using the spa. The only disappointment I have with this spa is the power of the jets but I suppose it's about as good as it can get for 110v. To get decent pressure from the jets you must turn the knob to focus on one area of the tub only which then means there are several seats that have no jets at all. So if you have friends or family that just like to soak in a hot tub without the jets, this would work for you but if you demand powerful jets, I wouldn't recommend this model. Overall, this is a great first time hot tub and I'm not dissatisfied with the purchase, I feel like it was a good value.

A hot tub relieves the aches and pains my husband has. We had an Intex inflatable spa that the side blew out on. I had glanced at Sam's website and knew we could get a nice spa around $2500. We decided to go look locally, thinking it would be quicker and maybe easier. Saw many similar to this spa but all over $4500 plus delivery and set-up. Came home, did a little research on this tub and ordered. Actually shipped and arrived about two weeks earlier than expected. Lifesmart tubs are manufactured by Watkins and if you look at their website they are the manufacturers of some well known considerably more expensive spas that are sold locally. If you are considering this spa for indoors, keep in mind it is 34", which is the width of most standard doors. It's a pretty easy thing to do to remove a door and re-install, which is exactly what we planned to do. Everything went perfect, this tub is in place, filled it with water, plugged it in and used it last night. Nice spa, well built and worth the money. I also didn't realize this tub does have the option to hook to 220v, if anyone wants more power from the tub. Honestly though just plugging into 110v had plenty of power.

I bought this after reading many reviews but was a little concerned about the friction heating. DON'T BE! I've had it for about a month and it works great! It took about 1 1/2 - 2 days for the water to heat up and it stays at 104*. The only downside is if it is cold & breezy the temp will drop 1-2* in 30-40 min. with all the air jets on, but by then I'm ready to get out anyway. The jets with the air on are fairly powerful and feel oh so good. The maintenance is easy and the spa works great. I estimate my electric bill to run around $1 a day for the spa, well worth it. The plug & play is so easy and works so well I think this a great buy!

Very very happy with my purchase! Absolutely love the spa. I knew it will be a basic model but thats what I wanted- the container that heats the water and keeps it hot :-) Easily plugs into a regular outside electric outlet, filled it with water from the garden hose just as recommended and it did take full 24 hours to get to 104F. The instructions were good enough for me to get it going right away. After reading all the reviews I decided to keep in on and running all the time, I hadn't seen the electric bill yet but hope it will be manageable. The spa came with the cover which works very well, the changing LED lights are a great addition, we seem to use the spa in the dark mainly, the small waterfall works but not really doing much for us. It says the spa is for 4 people, I think its more for 3 people, there are 2 sitting spots where jets hit you in the lower back and one laying down spot, where the jets hit you in the lower back, shoulder/neck and calfs. Jets work really well and I like stepping into the hot and "boiling" water when all the jest are on. We didn't get steps yet as they are out of stock still, but its not a big deal to climb in and out of the tub. I like the size of the tub - its not too big not too small, perfect for the back yard, we put it onto the wooden deck. Delivery was good, though it said curb side, the delivery guys backed all the way up my hilly driveway and unloaded it by the fence. We made a deal and they rolled the tub to where it needed to be. I was surprised that it was not as heavy as I thought it would be. The tub was on its side and after we unwrapped it - it was not too heavy to lower it down and move into place for female 42 and her dad who is 65. A couple of strong guys should have no problems with it. Honestly, I was freaking out about the delivery because I was wondering how can I move the tub from the mailbox all the way where it needed to be. The delivery guys used a small wooden dolly with 4 wheels, they put the tub sideways on it and just rolled it. If you are going to move it yourself, thats the cheapest and easiest way to move it.Good luck with your purchase. We enjoy our tub almost daily, I like to be able to get in any time I want to. Best purchase ever and long overdue!

Ordered in. January because it said they would deliver in may .we’ll it came in March . No problem but I had to wait until late may to set it up . Great spa . I’m 6ft 3 and it fits me perfectly. I use it as a pool keeping the temp at 87 degrees. The slight ruff finish an concret appearance go well in my yard . For my needs I could not have done better .

Right size for our family with two kids. Definitely will need four strong backs or a rolling pallet mover to position. Easy plug and go with 110 power. Learned that the power is used to primarily run the heater or the water jets, so with the jets running and air bubbles (which cools the water too) we noticed the water temp dropped a bit about an hour into our soak. So, if you can foot the bill for the 220 power model and can get a dedicated outlet for the same, would recommend 220 so you can run both features at once. For us, living in the south, don't expect to be worried too much about trying to sit in sub freezing temps too much.

We're using our spa almost every single day and love it. Although it is large, it was easy to set-up and use (with some good furniture moving dollies). About as plug-and-play as you can get for a spa this size. Easy maintenance, too: so far only added bromine and now chlorine and hosed off the filter occasionally. Nice insulation on the cover while still being easy to open - we rarely completely remove it since there's just 2 of us. Not really noticeable to the electricity bill, either - at most about $5 per month.

I've had the spa for 2 months now and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. It seats 4 people comfortably. My only dislike is the cupholders are not very deep. I love the lights and water feature. It was a very easy set up. I would highly recommend!

This hot tub is perfect for our needs. Was a little challenge to get it to the back yard and in place. Temperature does drop slightly but not enough to make a difference. Also I'm relatively short so using the lounge chair is hard. Overall great purchase! Love coming home from a long day and relaxing in it. I would recommend this to friends and family.

Let me start by saying I have had a few hot tubs throughout my life. All of them were more expensive than this one, and were all name brand spas. I ordered this one because of the price. Less than $3000 for a hot tub is unheard of. I ordered this in early February and it was delivered on April 20th, so keep that in mind. I was worried about the delivery as it is only delivered to the end on your driveway. My driver was great and got it as close to my setup point as possible but still dropping it off at the driveway. This is not a heavy spa. 2 men and a dolly moved this spa a pretty good distance and got it set up. 3 men with the dolly would have been better though. Setting the spa up was as simple as following the set up instructions in the owners manual. Very simple. Once I filled it with water, it took over 40 hours for this spa to reach its maximum heat. I thought that was very long, but remember this is a 110 plug and play. My other spas were all 220 wired and heated up much quicker. This spa also loses heat fast as the jets are running and the cover is off. I've had better spas, but they were much more expensive. Twice this price. So, for the price, I'm saying this is a 7 out of 10, and not a bad choice for a good, lower level spa.
