I liked the tub much better because I'm 6' 1', and I can't fit into the tub. My wife said she felt like she would prefer to get in the Jacuzzi in the bathroom vs this tub. You would definitely have overlapping feet with only 4 in the tub, I can't imagine squeezing 6 people in unless you are all very 'close'. My wife and I never had any guest over to use the tub because we didn't feel it was set up well for others joining. While the claim is up to 6 people, I think that is pushing it. They also bring in ambient air, so in colder climates the bubbles will lower the temperature of the tub while you soak. The bubbles are surprisingly good at giving you a massage, but you can't use them with the heater on. With the tub being limited to a 15 AMP setup, when you turn the heater on the bubbles will shut off, and vice versa. Can't run heater and bubbles together.You can buy seats, but it isn't the same as sitting in a real hot tub with built in seats. You are sitting on the ground when you're in the tub.

I forgot for a day, and had to wait for the tub to warm back up from 85°. This is also an issue if you forget about the 72 hour shutoff. If it's cold outside, it could take a couple days for the tub to reach 104° the first startup. It takes a long time to get up to temperature.This tub would not work well at a non-primary residence. If you don't touch anything on the control panel for 72 hours, the tub will shut everything off. It stinks to go out to get into the tub before bed and have it be only 101°. The tub will range from 104° F to 101° F when set to the highest temperature. I've ready anywhere from $15-$40 per month depending on climate. I didn't track closely the differences in my electric bill, but it wasn't enough that I noticed. You can sit up on the edges with no issues. You use the bubble air pump to air up the tub. Everything to get the hot tub up and going is in the box.Also you can try different locations easily. You don't need to beg your buddies into helping you move it around. The tub itself is the heaviest part, but once it's laid out flat, it's very easy to move around. That is enough to last 6 months if you don't want to clean them, and cleaning your filters you will have enough for many years. Filters are cheap! You can get a 12 pack of filters for $33.Add chemicals and clean/change the filters and you're all set. No jets to break, very few moving parts to take care of. You don't need to have an electrician wire your hot tub as long as there is an outlet 5-10 ft from where you will place your hot tub. Affordable! You don't have to spend an arm and a leg on a hot tub, this can be had for 5-10% of the low end hot tubs from your local spa retailer.Here were my pros and cons on the hot tub: You can see my Youtube review with the hot tub in action at: With 3-4 days per week of use, and winter on the way, I purchased a real tub. I purchased it with the plan to see if it gets used enough to make sense to drop several thousand on a real hot tub. I bought an inflatable hot tub back in May and used it throughout the summer.
