TLDR: A great temporary tub which requires some DIY in order to work properly. Quirky features, gets dirty easy, expensive cheap quality filters.
Pros:
-Affordable
-Gets Hot
- Great for short term (1-3 years)
- Low electricity bill
Cons:
- 72 hour auto shut off timer is a nightmare
- Filters are way expensive and clog within days ( they recommend cleaning after each use which is insane) I was the only one who used the tub and showered before each use.
-If you are over 5'11 do not buy this. I kept the waterline over the "max" mark in order to barely cover my shoulders. Heat seeps out of the cover this way but it was necessary
- The cover is terrible, it essentially warps with the steam over time
- The bottom of the hot tub has no insultation, do not place on cold concrete
- Bubble feature pulls in cold air
-Temp gauge is not accurate. It would NEVER show 103 degrees, only 102 and 104, for some reason the tub would stop at 102 frequently and not heat up to 104.
-The pump lines are exposed and will also need insulation
-Even with the use of bromine, the tub is extremely difficult to clean without draining monthly, I used it 2-3 times a week for 5 months and had to drain 3 times to do a deep clean.

I'd expect maybe 2 people comfortably.
Anyone own this?{/QUOTE]
I've owned two of these. They can fit two adults and probably a child comfortably. Expect them to last about two years before you have to start patching them. So maybe three total. For the investment, that's not bad.
This is indeed a good price. You may find $50 or so lower on BF but that's about it. And, yes, the prices have been inflated (no pun intended) during covid.
Cost of operating depends upon your climate and how long you keep them out into Fall/Winter. I don't think my bill went up by much, maybe $15 a month, but I never kept track.
In short this is a good deal on a "poor man's jacuzzi"
(BBB method is "Bleach, Borax, Baking soda" if people wondered/were unaware)

I use it as a kiddie pool / warm tub. I can place it on the shade because of the heater
So far I like it a lot. Set up takes a few minutes. I've been keeping the water with bromine and the ph up and down. I think the bottles will last about 3 seasons.
I've set it up in April and we are almost in august and I should replace the water. It lasts about 3 months
The heater and pump use about 1500w and it runs a lot of hours. The cover has some insulation but looses heat very easy. It's annoying that when power goes out it resets and you find out that it's cold when you want to use it
