I’m just going to start out with I got this hot tub on sale for a great price. The cabinet panels are plastic. The frame is made of untreated 2x4’s. The insulation consists of four 1/2” thick styrofoam panels....that is it. It has one pump, one blower. Jet pressure is alright if you turn off most of the jets you don’t use. I spent $50 and added insulation. I moved it to my back yard on a lawn mower and trailer, I got the electrical installed about 6 months later (took awhile). No leaks on start up so that was a bonus. I emailed the company that built it (strong spas) and asked if I could get a grey cabinet before it was made and they were not willing to change it without buying a new cabinet.I guess bottom line, if you are in the market for a budget tub and can get this on sale I would say thus far it would be a good purchase, paying full price...that would be debatable with probably better quality options out there.

In full disclosure, this spa was just delivered and installed so this review is based only on my initial impressions. The spa was delivered in less than three weeks via a tractor trailer truck. It comes shrink wrapped standing on it's side on a pallet and the driver will place it in your driveway. I was able to search Angie's List to find someone to move it to the final spot in my backyard ($225). Upon removing the shrink wrap, everything was intact and nothing damaged. These are Strong spas made in PA so it's easy to compare prices in local stores. Buying locally, you will pay $8K-$8.5K and the electrician couldn't believe how little I paid through Sam's. The cabinet is brown composite but you can definitely tell it's plastic. It doesn't look bad but because our deck is gray, I'll probably put gray lattice around it. The foam paneling insulation, and some spray foam, looks adequate but I may add some more. It cost me about $1,100 to have it wired but that's a variable cost so get a couple quotes. The electrician estimated that it would probably increase the electric bill by $14-$20 a month (I'm sure more in the winter) but I live in a mild climate area and have not received a bill since install. At noon of the install, the water temperature was 55 degrees and it was about 60 degrees outside. By 7:00 PM, the water was already at 102 degrees so the heater appears to work very well. This has a variable speed pump and a constant speed circulation pump. When you use the boost feature (I think it's powered by the circulation pump) the jet pressure is very impressive. I actually had to turn some of the jets down to be able to talk to my wife. I like the fact that the seating is not sectioned off like some other tubs and you could probably have four adults and two kids in it comfortably. Six adults would be tight and you'd be touching legs. The jets are supposed to be stainless steel, and they probably are, but I've tapped on them 100 times and it sounds a lot like plastic. That said, it could just be a thin stainless steel covering. I can't tell and not sure I care. The light works good and has multiple settings. It's not overly bright, but I don't want it to be. The cover that came with it looks like good quality (dark brown) and I was told by the installer to spray it with pledge to increase longevity. The only thing I was disappointed about was that I asked two questions about whether or not this could be converted to a salt water system and what the dimensions were from the ground to where the top of the side cabinet meets the shell. Both went unanswered by the manufacturer but were not deal breakers. I didn't want to use chlorine or bromine so I opted for the mineral stick from Nature 2. It got excellent reviews but I can't comment from personal experience yet. Overall, an excellent buy. I did purchase through the professional membership to extend the warranty. So feel free to look at similar Strong spas at a local dealer, but don't let them scare you out of buying online through Sam's all of the variable costs will still be the same and there are a many people that service Strong spas if you need it. Just remember, this weighs 4,000 lbs fully loaded so have the site prepped. But it's well worth it and I'll update if anything goes wrong with it.

We got this spa last year and were excited to get it started. After some time for set up, started using it in November. Sprung a leak in April and waited about a month for repair (under warranty). We're just shy of the one year mark and the water is gone AGAIN! Hoping the warranty will fix again. We must say when it is functioning, it is a great spa. We love the lights and the jets are wonderful. We're just tired of the leaks. Maybe we just got a lemon?

After a lot of shopping, we purchased this spa in May and it was delivered in early June. We love it! We use it nearly every day, even on the hottest days of summer, and we are looking forward to enjoying it in the cooler months. Highly recommend.

bought hot tub online and tub was delivered to my house within 3 weeks on a pallet. Electrician installed 240 line, filled with water and ready to go. Everything works well and I highly recommend this spa.

We have had this hot tub for a week and absolutely love it!! The only reason I am giving it four stars is because instead of the 3-6 weeks promised delivery, it took 8 weeks. I also had difficulty with the actual purchase of the hot tub. We made the purchase online, checked our online banking and the money was taken out of our account, then 4 days later the money was put back in to our account. We called customer service and went through this process, the money taken out and then put back in, four more times. It wouldn't have been so bad had I not had to go in person to the bank each time and fill out a request of limit increase each time this happened. I have never tried so hard to give someone my money! With all that said, we love the hot tub and would recommend it to others.

We considered buying a hot tub for several years before taking the plunge with an Everlast Spa through Sam's Club. The delivery took a little longer than expected but it has been worth the wait. High quality and easy to maintain. Our family has enjoyed using the new spa.

We bought this hot tub 7 months ago and have been very happy with it. The hot tub is very easy to maintain and operate.

I bought this hot tub 6 months ago and have been very pleased with it. It is very comfortable and there are lots of jets. I was reluctant to buy this without seeing it in person but so glad I did. I haven't had any trouble with it.

I bought this Hot tub 6 months ago. The delivery crew was great had it set up in no time. Since then The hot tub has worked great. There are plenty of jets and not a bad seat in the tub. It has preformed just as hoped.
