Bestway SaluSpa Aruba Inflatable Hot Tub Spa - Round 3 Person - 67 x 26 in

I am very pleased with this purchase. Directions could have been a little clearer, but it's 2024 so You Tube it is. It was at full heat within 12 hours of it's 30 minute set up. We were 2 people but I mostly watched the video and said do this. So basically my husband set it up in 30 minutes by himself. It's very sturdy and we have been in and out of it twice a day for a week now. No issues. We are figuring it should last about a year in the Florida Sun so if we get any longer out of it we will be ecstatic. At $500. we consider it a lot of Bang for our Buck. If it last a year or longer we will definitely be buying another. Figure the hard spas cost 4-5K and last 8-10 years but look like crap starting around year 2-3. You have to replace the covers every couple years and the cover for one of those spas alone cost as much as this entire spa with a cover. Even if you have to replace every year the cost will be about the same after 10 years except you don't have to spend it all at once and you won't have an eye sore that hardly gets used because it don't look pretty.

My order for the Bestway Saluspa Aruba Air Jet w inflatable cover portable spa from Walmart.com was delivered in 3 days. There was some ripped cardboard on the outer packaging, but the boxes inside were not damaged. The SPA was simple enough to install using the pictorial instructions on the box. I wish the contents list had more than images - having text descriptions of some of the parts would be more useful. Also, the generic manual which isn't model specific is not very good. Some things I liked: the power cord is beefy and 12-ft long and the Plug has an integrated GFI. Heating time will really depend on the temperature of the water used to fill the tub, but expect it to take 8-12 hours on average. Can't comment on deflating, since I haven't done it yet. The drain hose looks to be compatible with a regular garden hose female coupling connector. I like that the pump/heater/blower unit is separate and easily connected and disconnected to/from the tub. This model came with both a light inflatable cover meant for every day use and a larger, heavy duty complete tub cover intended for protecting the tub over the long term. I think the 2nd cover is important if the tub is exposed to the sun over time.
