ColemanSaluSpa Ponderosa AirJet 2 to 4 Person Inflatable Hot Tub Round Portable Outdoor Spa with 120 Soothing Jets with Cover, Orange

Update after 18+ months: Everything included below still stands. However, after two unusually harsh winters in Texas (one historically brutal) and having it work great for about 18 months, the plumbing developed a leak that I could not fix or repair. The end result is that I would fill up the tub and at first it would lose half the water in a couple days. At the end, it would lose more than half the water in about a half day. I chalk it up to this being in extreme weather from 100 degree summers to those two brutal winters. One of the pipes going into the pump/heater just kind gave out. So we took it down. This proved to us though that we love having a hot tub. We are going to upgrade from here vs spending another 500 bucks on a year and half solution.if you're like us; we love using a hot tub on vacation but the idea of dropping 3k-5k or even 10k+ on a permanent hot tub for home was daunting. Not just the investment but the thought in the back of our minds "would we really use it"?So we opted for this portable solution instead that we affectionately call our "hippie hot tub". In short; We LOVE IT. Purchased in early November 2020 I waited until April 2021 before writing this review. No joke we used this at least once every weekend all season long. Sometimes twice!Being in North Texas our winters (usually) are mild to moderate. But even this year's severe winter storm didn't slow this hot tub down. We loved getting in it several times when it was snowing. We enjoyed it in the mornings with our coffee; afternoons with a cold beer; nights with glasses of wine or just to soak after a hike, workout or hockey game. A++++++ on allThe other big factors you might be considering: Set up was super easy. Maintaining clean water and hot water again super easy. Even when it was cold it never froze up. the motor/heater/filter is great. The cover is easy on and off.Pro Tips: I bought rubber puzzle piece style pads to put on my patio first and then set up the hot tub on top of that. I also bought a furniture type blanket to provide extra cover and insulation to keep the water warm and the crap off the real cover.We always got in with the temp at the Max 104 and after the 30 minute bubble timer went off, it was usually right at 100; maybe 99. but still plenty warm. And its bubbles, massive bubbles, but not "jets" its a subtle difference but one you should consider.I will add this---this little hippy hot tub spoiled us! We went on vacation this spring and got in the 'real' hot tub at our resort and it wasn't as hot nor as bubbly as ours at home--even with 'real' jetsEnjoy! Well worth the cost.

Just like my headline says, if you can get this, do it! I mean, if you have 10,000 bucks to blow on a regular hot tub, do that too but if you want room enough for 2-3 people this is all you need. I plan on only using this in the cooler months and in the summer taking it down so I have space in my yard again. Don't let a hot tub take up your whole deck when you can get one of these. Here are some pros and cons of having this hot tub:Pros:It's cheaperIt heats up fast. From 68 degree water to 104 it took overnightEasy set up (if you know what you're doing - see cons)It has an easy to use interface on the pumpThe jets work beautifully and feel just like a regular hot tubCons:If you don't know what you're doing, set up may be difficult. The instructions included with the tub are terrible. They are in a very small text and are not very detailed. There is a YouTube video that showed how to set it up. That helped a lot.Coleman says you need to clean the filter out everyday (this honestly will depend on use) If you use it everyday I would clean the filters everydayA beginners kit of chemicals would be nice. I had to go to my local spa store and buy products and a test strip kit to get started. They do include a chlorine/bromine floater though and that was nice.There is an automatic shutoff on the pump after 3-ish days of non use. If you use the tub daily then this won't be a problem.Honestly after getting in this thing I did not notice a difference between a hard sided hot tub and this one. Now if you want to have 6-8 people in a hot tub this is not for you. It will sit 2-3 people comfortably, maybe 4 if you sit a certain way. But I bought it only for my wife and I to use so it works. I am very happy with my purchase and it is well worth the money.

I have been dreaming of owning a hot tub for a very long time. We couldn't afford a regular one, so this four-person Coleman seemed like a good option for us. We set it up in early spring and have been using it every night for about a week.Here is what I like about it:1. It was easy enough to set up. The written directions are a bit unclear, but I googled a video for the set up and that made it easier.2. It's comfortable. It does not come with any extra cushioning or headrests, but I have found that I don't need them. I am 5' 7" and am quite comfortable with my legs stretched out. If I slouch down a bit I can rest my head on the side and that is good enough for me.3. The bubbles are fantastic. I was worried 60 jets wouldn't be enough, but it is plenty. As long as you aren't expecting massaging jets like you would get in a real hot tub, you'll be satisfied.4. I have found that 104 degrees so far is the perfect temperature.Here is what needs improvement:1. It takes an extremely long time to heat up. I have been finding that it heats up about 2 degrees an hour. I try to save some energy by turning the heat down to 90 degrees after we get out at night, but if I don't turn it back on in enough time the next day, we wind up with tepid water.2. The timer is pretty much useless as far as I can tell. Once you set the timer, everything turns off (including the heat). It will turn back on for the time you set it, but like I said above, it takes a very long time to heat up. It will cool down considerably while it's off, so you have to make sure you have it turn on in enough time for it to be hot enough when you want to go in. Plus, you would have to reset it every day. Totally not worth it, in my opinion. I turn down the heat at night and then try to turn it up again in the morning.3. It technically could fit four people, but you would all have to sit with your knees up. We are a family of three (two adults and a petite teen), and while we can all fit, it's definitely a little tight. Usually only two of us can have our legs stretched out at one time. I am looking forward to the day when my husband and daughter decide they don't want to go in so that I can have it all to myself. :)4. When you put on the bubbles, the temperature goes down quite a bit. As others have said, the air gets pulled from outside, so you can literally feel the cold air being pumped into the tub. We usually soak a bit before we run the bubbles. It's not very cold out right now by us, so this hasn't been a problem. I don't know how much it will bother me in colder weather.We have only had it a week, so I can't speak to the longevity of it or how it performs in colder weather. I do have to say that keeping the chemicals balanced is the hardest part - but this would be an issue with any hot tub. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I would recommend this to anyone who has dreams of a hot tub but can't afford an expensive one.

It is very comfy :) worth the buy

The salu spa was easy to assemble and requires low maintenance. So far it has been a real treat to relax in the salu spa on a nice day. The test will come when i have to dismantle the salu spa in the fall.

Perfect for the price and for what we need.

Very easy set up! Maintence on filters is required more then I was hoping but works exactly how I pictured. Side clips need a bit of pressure to release lid. Recommended to take lid off before getting into swimwear!

Good for the money
