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

Well worth the two week wait. Delivery was great, driver very helpful. Setup went well. I have very very rusty water, tub looked like red water and I didn't thought I would have a problem. Let the tub run for a day and it filtered out all the color where I have clear water to relax in. Had to clean the filter twice but I am very pleased. Once it got up to temp. was was in and relaxing.

Had been researching spas that were plug and play. Checked out the LifeSmart brand and seemed good but a bit hesitant as I live in a cold climate. So far spa is great! However, we will see how it "winters". Best price was at Sam's. I expected an older model because of great price but after ordering, was contacted by LifeSmart to confirm order and that manufacture was in progress. Shipping by freight was free and they delivered to property line at rear of home. No damages at all and it was packaged and placed on pallet. Very happy with product and east of ordering, delivery and setup. Have owned other spas, but this seems tuffer and definitely easier.

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.

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.

We have had this Hot tub for 2 weeks now., Love it. We researched a lot before deciding on this one. We debated heavily between a 110 plug & play or a 220.. Decided to go with the 110. Price was great. Delivery was earlier than stated. We were concerned about how we would get the spa to our patio since we have a long drive-way but the Delivery guys were great. They worked with my husband who had come up with the idea to have the delivery guys use the Lift to put the Spa on his pickup bed, once done he just drove to the edge of the patio using and used a wheelie with the help of a couple of friends lowered the spa to the Patio.. Again, this entire Process was so smooth. We can't until winter to experience the hot tub while it is snowing. Don't wait. Go for it.

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!

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!

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!

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.
