Bestway SaluSpa Paris ThermaCore UltraFit Smart AirJet Rigid Foam Hot Tub Spa (67" x 25.5") | Fits Up to 4-6 Persons | Grey Marble

We had to wait several months for this hot tub to become available after zeroing in on it as the one we wanted, particularly after reading the other reviews here. A small window of availability in Dec/Jan allowed us to snag one, and we can happily say the reviews were not wrong!The bottom line is that this product is far superior to the myriad of inflatables that have flooded the market, including those offered by this same company. Given that, it is mind-boggling to me why they are not producing more of these units, or why some other company has not come out with a similar design.Out of the box the ThermaCore panels are easily assembled and zip snugly into the shell, which feels very thick and durable (as others have mentioned do not try and assemble in cold weather or the shell won't have enough flexibility and you won't be able to zip it). The heater/filter unit is already built in as well, which means once you've completed this part you are basically done. The result is a unit that just feels MUCH sturdier than an inflatable, and one that functionally does a way better job heating and retaining water temperature, particularly in cooler weather. Filling from a garden hose on a chilly winter night, it took our hot tub just over 24 hours to heat up from 45 degrees to 104. We have sat in it as long as two hours with temps in the mid 20s, and the water temp maintained 102 for most of the soak and never dropped below 100. Note: this is primarily without the jets on; some have mentioned the jets cool the tub more quickly (you do feel the cold air when you turn them on). If this is an issue for you I would think there might be a way to warm the air near the intake, but haven't tried it since the jets are a little aggressive for us anyway so we haven't been using much.As far as cons, the wifi doesn't seem to work so the panel just blinks constantly. Not sure why it's needed anyway. Who really needs an app for their hot tub? The cover has an inflatable insert and it's a bit flimsy; wish they would have given two semi-circle ThermaCore panels to zip into it instead. However, it does what it needs to do to keep the tub at 104 and ready to go when not in use, so it's a minor quibble. Lastly, this is NOT a 6 person hot tub. I'd say 2-4 people and 4 would be a stretch unless everyone is smaller, but that's coming from someone 6' 260lb so take that for what it is worth.Again, the bottom line here is that if you are in the market for a portable hot tub and this becomes available again, you should definitely get one. For a few hundred more than most inflatable models, it is a steal.

After placing the order, it took about a week for them to ship it, then it arrived 9 days after that. So 16 days total, but felt like months! I’ve been so excited to try it after doing a lot of research and determining this would be the best option.Honestly, it’s amazing! It’s a good size, not too small but not too big. The jets are pretty powerful. The hot tub itself is really comfortable. I feel so relaxed after getting out. I could live in this thing.Putting it together was pretty simple. The instructions are on the top flaps of the box. It said there was a QR code to access them online, but we couldn’t find them that way. Yes, the instructions could be more detailed and it could include more info on maintenance and cleaning, however we were able to figure all that out pretty easily!The hot tub is very sturdy and looks nice. It took about 25 hours to heat up from 57 to 104 the first time. After being in it for 45-60 minutes, with on and off use of the jets, it goes down to 102 and is still really nice. By then we’re ready to get out and it’s back to 104 within an hour. It heats up about 2 degrees per hour.

Absolutely love this little hot tub! We have had inflatable hot tubs before but this foam style tub is superior. It was on my watch list for a while and we ordered it as soon as it became available. You cannot beat the price, ease of set up, or quality. Affordable and comfortable, our favorite Valentines gift to one another.The wifi capabilities make operating the tub so convenient. My only complaint is the inflatable lid, we wish it was foam like the rest of the tub. Side-note: To elevate the look we built a small surround.

This is our 2nd Saluspa. Overall, a good unit with some highlights below.Cons: App & WiFi connectivity (by far biggest gripe). App store reviews say it all (difficult to connect, app needs uninstall/re-installed, etc.) & while WiFi is a nice-to-have feature, it's just not ready for prime time on this model. Also, the inflatable insert for the cover is *significantly* under-sized--plan to get a larger replacement one (otherwise it bails out half a gallon of water each time cover's removed.Meh: Pillows (maybe just spoiled by soft top on last inflatable), still get cold bubbles after ~ 10 minutes (even after placing a pet warmer pad under inflator/heater unit & using pictured pentagon tent) during colder weather, & probability of having to fully un-zip + partially remove a few foam inserts to fully drain & clean inflator/heater unit.Pros: Keeps & adds heat *much* better than our last inflatable tub. Overall footprint is actually smaller than our last tub while also having a deeper+wider interior. Bubbles are quite a bit stronger than last spa, too. Finally, appreciate the space-saving aspect of integrating the inflator/heater into one of the (slightly larger) foam side inserts).
