Editor's Notes & Price Research
Written by
This inflatable hot tub has a 669 gallon (2532 L) capacity and features Tritech material, built-in LED lights and built-in AirJet system with 81 air jets.
I've had one of these for about 4 years. Two years worked flawlessly. Third year it needed to be patched but worked fine. Fourth year we limped to the finish line with so many holes that it couldn't really hold air despite attempts to patch.
Water warms up to 104 degrees, which is plenty warm for me. Keeps temp well.
Consider it a "poor mans" hot tub. Really only good for two people. But I liked mine well enough that I ordered a new one that I will be setting up after a re-stain my deck.
I had one for a while and agree with that review. I keep a deal alert and don't see them for under $300 very often (though I see a realtree colored one at Walmart.com is currently $265)
One thing I wanted to add is that our electrical bill was considerably impacted by keeping it hot, to the tune of roughly $100/month. That's in San Diego during the winter, so maybe electricity costs more here than some places, but also it's not that cold outside here. I was planning on building a solar water heater with some black irrigation tubing, which could potentially reduce heating costs significantly... but then we sold our house and the buyers wrote the hot tub into the offer
One pleasant surprise was that the bubble jets were actually quite strong and effective (but also quite noisy, like you are running a shop vac).
I would buy one again if I had a place for it and some way to offset heating costs. Solar is one option. I've also seen people buy portable propane water heaters for a bit over $100 and then they claim they are able to heat the tub quickly and spend under $10/month in propane.
I used to own an Intex inflatable purchased for the same price during one of Target's cartwheel sales. Worked OK but an air leak along the seams developed within the first 6 months of ownership and I was never able to fully patch it (as is the usual case with inflatable items, with me anyway) and it wasn't easy to find the source of the leak by the way. Stopped using it completely after 10-11 months. For the price I paid I don't regret it much but if you have some extra money I'd go for a foam panel hot tub which is what I own now (this also works on standard 110/120V outlets): https://www.homedepot.com/p/Canad.../302733529
Advantages: no air leaks, much much better insulation.
The insulation is important in 2 ways: cheaper to run (especially in winter), water stays warmer while you're actually using it (120V isn't enough to run the heater and jets at the same time).
Canadian Spa Co. is also pretty good about spare parts (I never bothered to try with Intex, I have no experience with Coleman).
Another alternative to inflatables are the spa-in-a-box type solutions that use plastic panels. Here is one example (never tried one): https://www.homedepot.com/p/Spa-N.../206436338
That's kinda pricey compared to an inflatable but if there was a cheaper one for maybe $500~$600 and you didn't feel like spending the extra for the foam unit I linked to earlier it might be looking into b/c like I said inflatable products always develop leak issues

Are these worth it, in the regards that they hold up outside and the water warms up?

That's a solid review. Thanks for taking the time.
Would you be able to comment on the current price?
I've been debating getting one of these for a couple of years now. This price has come and gone a few times. I've seen videos where people have used these year round by covering the top and covering the pump in insulation

I like ours a lot. Have to put away during winter in ohio unfortunately. If i remember right i think i got it for 200 but haven't seen it that price since

Out of curiosity, did you leave it aired up and filled year-round or empty and put it away each year?
That's a solid review. Thanks for taking the time.

Best $300 I've ever spent. That said...
Beware of the power consumption. Here in CA, It takes almost two days to go from 60 degrees up to the max, and runs ~$5/day. It might be less once it gets to temp, but I've been too scared of what the bill will be to run it consistently.

See my comments above regarding using a portable propane heater. Heats faster and cheaper. Seems like a nice option.
