Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to say that I was surprised how much I like this. We have had built in regular hot tubs so I seriously did not believe an inflatable, cheaper priced, version would stand a chance at impressing me. I had 3 major concerns and I will list them here with the outcome: Concern 1. Air bubbles versus jets. I was sure they would not be strong enough to make me like them as much as a jet. I am thrilled to have been wrong. The bubbles are shockingly strong and provide a full body massage. You can also learn various ways to sit that let them hit your back in specific places. I actually have come to like the air bubbles more than jets because it gives you the same benefit without any beating that can happen with strong jets. Concern 2. How can an inflatable be sturdy enough? The sturdiness of this item needs a nod as well because I had a huge concern that it could hold up to our large family but it totally has. The material used is very thick and high quality. We have kids and teens that jump in and out and it has held up like a champ! Concern 3. Loss of heat when bubbles running I had read so many mixed reviews regarding this topic that it really made me worried. The main incorrect info I read was that the heat cannot run while bubbles going. This is untrue. The heater runs while bubbles run, BUT it does not keep up with it after awhile. We received this product in the dead of Montana winter. Neg temps every night. We set it up in our garage, which would still get in the low 20's sometimes but it worked wonderfully! We keep ours set to 104. By doing this, when we run the bubbles and by the time the temp drops too low, we have had enough anyway. I have only had it drop too fast 2 times. Other than that, you can enjoy a good 30-40 minutes session with ease and in warmth. As our temps have risen with spring (and with summer approaching), the time extends of course and we plan on moving it to a patio area to enjoy our mountain views :) Overall, I am incredibly pleased with this item and it was a great deal in comparison to spending thousands on a full setup(that you cannot move around when you want or take with you!)
