(More customer reviews)Bought this hottub to put in my apartment (new complex). I have a pretty bad back and this makes it feel great. I've had it for about a month now and love it. Like one other reviewer said, it's not a toy, it's a real hottub. My friends are amazed that I have this huge thing in my apartment.
It fits comfortably 2 people. Sure you can fit 4 in, but unlike most hottubs, your legs just lay out, so with two people you can move your legs in opposite directions, 4 people is a little tricky. Usually with 4 people in it everyone knees and it's fine. Still very comfortable.
Water height, perfect! I can sit down on my butt and the water is basically past my chin. Sit on the knees and it's still at a fine height. No need to worry about going into a kiddy pool. You'd have to fill this half-way to even get a toddler to stand up in this without drowning.
You can definitely feel the jets and they go 95% around the hottub (they stop where the filter is). They're not your typical hottub jets, it's another inflatable-like compartment with holes in it and the air blows through it, but it still feels nice and gets the water moving good.
I paid about [...] + tax + shipping, all in all about [...] and well worth it. I use it almost every day and I'll be in it for hours.
The only problems I have really had with it are I've broken several of the straps that hold the cover on it (inflatable cover with material cover to hold it down), but it's not that big of a deal. I guess I just had the cover inflated too much.
Second Problem is the heater will show 102degrees, and I turn the filter on and it will jump right up to 104 and not heat, any lower than 102 degrees and it heats up fine. I have a thermometer in the water than averages 102degrees.
To fill it up I bought a Fill Adapter that connects from my sink to a garden hose and just run that over and into the tub. Works beautifully. (Water coming from the sink = hot water and no wait for it to heat up) Be careful though because when I first filled it I had the water too hott and it was 112degrees (WAY TOO HOTT, I couldn't get my foot in)
(Note: Ebay Fill Adapter is a cheap product, I replaced the cheap plastic adapter with a metal one from Lowes, 15/16" Female to 3/4" garden hose, and then the 15/16" male adapter to add on, ran me about $[...])
All in all it's a great tub for the money. I highly suggest it and the fun I have outweighs the two little problems!
Had trouble finding filters, but the PBW5 from spa-daddy.com works fine!
