This appears to be a brand new model. Can't find any other retailer selling the Hollywood yet. It's 6" wider and holds about 70 more gallons than the Front Page 2020 Black Friday deal for the Hydro-Force version ($197 but very limited quantities - some helpful info about these types of spas on that thread - https://slickdeals.net/f/14557268-hydro-force-71-x-26-havana-inflatable-hot-tub-spa-197-free-shipping.
More recently an even smaller version (St Lucia - same manufacturer but 67" wide) went FP in July - https://slickdeals.net/f/15193129-bestway-67-x-26-st-lucia-saluspa-airjet-inflatable-hot-tub-spa-311-free-shipping.
Recommend putting this on hard foam insulation sheets to help it stay warm. Also, remember you CANNOT safely use an extension cord with these so it must be near an outlet.
edit.. obviously not one of those lamp cords, but a beefy extension cord?

Currently live in cold weather climate, so I do need to inflate it when the temperature outsides swing a lot. Also it's put away when the snowing starts. But overall it's been easy to maintain and use.
Is this a massive electrical suck and on par with a major appliance, Absolutely, it's a water heater larger than most whole house water heaters.
Why would a breaker trip?
You have a dangerous short somewhere you should investigate, I would only use this on a GFCI circuit, and would similarly be cautious if it trips.
You have put too high of a load on too small of breaker, find an outlet either with a higher amperage rating ( they come in 10, 15, 20, etc, 15 is a likely minimum)
Can you use an extension cord?
Yes, an extension cord is not fundamentally different than the wiring running rhrough your walls with one MAJOR EXEPTION.
Look at the gauge of the extension cord. 16 is likely too small (higher numbers are thinner wires, and may overheat) a 15 AMP circuit would use 14 gauge wire, with 12 being even more robust and found mostly on 20 amp circuits, with 10 gauges on 30 amp, etc etc., sometimes this number is written like 14AWG. Make sure you use a safe sized (low) AWG for the breaker and you should be safe.

She's had it a few years now. They must be very low maintenance. Granted she puts it away half the year but I was shocked that it's pretty OK still.
there are really good groups on facebook for "inflatable hot tubs" - most of them are filled with ppl from the UK - I guess these are wildly popular in that region.
Also if you live in a cold area, consider switching to propane/natural gas for heating the water - then you can use it more on demand without your electricity bill going crazy.
Just make a thin box with plexiglass and coiled pex pipe (black) to absorb as much heat as possible. I'm guessing there are tons of plans online.
I know it is out of stock but will wait for next deal to show up.
