Bestway 81-by-28-Inch Lay-Z-Spa Premium Series Pool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this hottub to put in my apartment (new complex). I have a pretty bad back and this makes it feel great. I've had it for about a month now and love it. Like one other reviewer said, it's not a toy, it's a real hottub. My friends are amazed that I have this huge thing in my apartment.

It fits comfortably 2 people. Sure you can fit 4 in, but unlike most hottubs, your legs just lay out, so with two people you can move your legs in opposite directions, 4 people is a little tricky. Usually with 4 people in it everyone knees and it's fine. Still very comfortable.

Water height, perfect! I can sit down on my butt and the water is basically past my chin. Sit on the knees and it's still at a fine height. No need to worry about going into a kiddy pool. You'd have to fill this half-way to even get a toddler to stand up in this without drowning.

You can definitely feel the jets and they go 95% around the hottub (they stop where the filter is). They're not your typical hottub jets, it's another inflatable-like compartment with holes in it and the air blows through it, but it still feels nice and gets the water moving good.

I paid about [...] + tax + shipping, all in all about [...] and well worth it. I use it almost every day and I'll be in it for hours.

The only problems I have really had with it are I've broken several of the straps that hold the cover on it (inflatable cover with material cover to hold it down), but it's not that big of a deal. I guess I just had the cover inflated too much.

Second Problem is the heater will show 102degrees, and I turn the filter on and it will jump right up to 104 and not heat, any lower than 102 degrees and it heats up fine. I have a thermometer in the water than averages 102degrees.

To fill it up I bought a Fill Adapter that connects from my sink to a garden hose and just run that over and into the tub. Works beautifully. (Water coming from the sink = hot water and no wait for it to heat up) Be careful though because when I first filled it I had the water too hott and it was 112degrees (WAY TOO HOTT, I couldn't get my foot in)
(Note: Ebay Fill Adapter is a cheap product, I replaced the cheap plastic adapter with a metal one from Lowes, 15/16" Female to 3/4" garden hose, and then the 15/16" male adapter to add on, ran me about $[...])

All in all it's a great tub for the money. I highly suggest it and the fun I have outweighs the two little problems!

Had trouble finding filters, but the PBW5 from spa-daddy.com works fine!

Comfort Line Products Spa Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upside: The Spa is bigger than I expected. Generally comfortable, very easy to set up (once you figure out the instructions) and as portable as promoted. Once the spa reaches top temp 105 degrees on the indicator and you turn on the blower.You get a spa experience that is as pretty impressive. Thewater agitation is vigorous and well distributed around the spa.

The down side:The spa has no hot water jets.It uses a blower to churn the water. The problem is the blower churns and cools the water in the process. So after 15 minutes the spa has lost between 3 and 4 degrees. By the time you go through two of the automatic 15 minute cycles you drop from 105 to about 100 degrees.If you stay in for 45 minutes the spa will cool to about 97-98 degrees and will take 3-4 hours to return to 105.

If all you want is a quick 15-30 minute experience you'll probably be quite satisfied.If you like long spas sittings or have a number of family members who want to take turns.This rig will not do the trick.

Other issues:The heating pump runs so quitely you can't tell it's on. (very nice)But the blower is loud and sounds like a vacuum. The sound of the bubbles sort of masks the blower but if you're sensitive to sound it can be distracting. I found some other reviews on the Spa2go and about half of the people complained about the pump and the blower failing.I've had mine a month so far running everyday 24/7 and so far no problems with either. The reviews also said that getting customer service or replacement parts is difficult. One person reported waiting three months and still no part. I'm hoping I don't have to deal with this.There also seems to be a few degree discrency between the actual water temp and the indicated temp... About 2 degress less by my thermometer.but I need to get another one to confirm this. Also, the material used in the cover doesn't seem to be as thick as the material in the body. Mine sprung two holes on the first day and had to be patched.I now am very carful where I lay the cover.

Bottom line.. All things considered I would still make thispurchase because the price is at least a third of the cost of a typical portable spa. If you think of this purchase as disposable or a stepping stone to a better spa...you'll probably not be disappointed. So not great but for $799 good enough.

Biggest disappointment was with how Amazon fulfilled the order.. Was supposed to ship overnight.Took over a week and at least 15 calls to customer service reps in the Philippines who had no ability to contact the warehouse and find our why the product has not shipped.after One lost shipment and many frustrating calls and emails It finally made it into the UPS system for shipment... Most surprising was that I was told that if I cancel the order it would take up to 5 days to get the $799 credited back to my card.. So my "overnight" purchaseturned out to be a week in Amazon customer service hell.Stresses me out just thinking about it.. think I'll head to the spa after this.
