I purchased this hot tub after much deliberation on whether I should go with a plug and play or a 220 volt. Once it was delivered, filled and used for the first time, I knew I made the right choice. Let me explain exactly what you can expect: it takes about 24 hours for a fresh fill to get up to 104. Upon fill up, I had to purge the pump of air for the pump to work, which is easy to do and explained in the manual. 3 people can carry this thing to where you want it positioned, so you don't have to pay a mover or have 5 or 6 people to move it like a 500 gallon spa. It comes with a cover, so that saves you about $300. Cover fits, but does not latch, oh well no big deal. I was a little concerned about only having 19 jets as compared to 50 or 60 jets on a $5000 tub. Once I was submersed in it, I realized those 19 jets were plenty and that 50 or more wouldnt have mattered. I am also 6'2" and worried if this tub would be comfortable and deep enough for me. I was very relieved to find that I sank up to above my chest. My wife and I are very happy with our new hot tub. One thing i wish to point out though, there is only one speed to the pump and it is more of a 4 person tub.
Reasons we chose this tub: easy to move, plugs in without having to hire an electrician, priced better on Wayfair than all the others for this model on other sites with free delivery. It is a dreamaker tub, which sells for about $800 to $1000 more at hot tub stores. And we saved 1/2 on what 220 volt 5 person tubs go for. Yes, a plug and play tub may run a couple dollars more a month to run than a 220, but it would takes years to make up the $2000 to $3000 difference in price. It just made sense. Oh, the LED changing light adds great ambience too. Very pleased indeed.. Jefferson. TN. 2016-01-02 23:26:18
