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.

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!

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!

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.

excellent so far..perfect size for patio. very easy to set up. delivery guys were awesome,very polite and helpful. order came in less than 2 weeks.once in backyard was very easy and light to move around for proper placement my son and I were able to move ourselves. all you have to do is take protective wrapping off,fill with water and plug it in. takes about 24 hours to reach optimal temp..usually stays around 105-106. feels like a nice hot bath..not to hot but comfortable. Jets are sufficient for light therapy..not strong like your 7000.00 spas or 220v..but enough to satisfy. lights are beautiful..can have colors rotate or set to desired color. waterfall feature very relaxing for sound effects. appears to be very well made..nice strong resin. steps included..sturdy resin material also. not very deep when standing but as deep as in ground spas when sitting. like the seating design..have three large teenage boys who all fit very comfotable..fits up to five. great deal for price and first time spa owners without breaking the bank. comes with lid also which is light weight and needs attaching to outside with screwdriver very easy placment. .

I bought this tub in mid-Nov and waited to review to see what our electric bill was. First for the money, this is a good Spa. Nice, deep seating. Just enough jets for my taste. Easy to maintain. Cover is good quality. My only issue is our electric bill went up ~$100. I will say it is installed on an exterior deck and we have had some cold (and warm) weather so far. I'm going to go another month with some additional exterior insulation and turn temp down 2 degrees. If it is still in this range, will probably become a three season use. You may want to consider a 220V Spa if the bills are a concern

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 purchased this spa in April 2015, due to the lid being damaged upon delivery I was not able to use until June 2015. II recommend you read all of the warranty and understand that after 90 days you pay for any labor. My spa has developed a leak after only seven (7) months. This is the third spa that I have owned. It is also the only Life Smart I have purchased. I have had spas last for years with no problems, I would not recommend a Life Smart spa for this reason. I would also recommend you purchase a spa from a local dealer.

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.

This is a perfect hot tub for us. I took it to the back yard myself in the back of my F-150, then offloaded it using 2X4s as a ramp. Set it up on a cement slab, plugged it in to a dedicated circuit and...waited. Two days to get to temperature. But that was six weeks ago and it's been at temp since. However, 104 degrees isn't hot enough for us, but that's the maximum. To make it go to 106 simply press and HOLD the temperature "UP" button for as long as it takes. May take 45 seconds but only took about 20 for me. Then you can take it to 105 or 106. At 106 it's MUCH better.
