any good?

Argos have one on offer at mo, at £250 and good reviews .

Don't tell me to buy a rigid hot tub, I can't justify the cost, I'd like feedback from anyone who has bought an inflatable one please.

Offers come up on LayZ often at Tesco and elsewhere.

Consider the electrical heating costs and water too, if on a meter.

We have a Layzspa and it's brilliant. We have the four person one and often have 6 in it.

We had one for quite a few yrs.

The range is excellent for buying chemicals & filters etc.

We use to half fill with cold water & top up with hot, no need to wait for it to warm up then.

We've seen a lot of reviews that say they only last a year . Doesn't sound like that's the experience here

Ive had one for over a year ..wasn't as cheap as your saying OP..damn I always miss the bargains but they are great ..I've the Lay-z version and they are Fab lots of fun and frolics to be had. Not that expensive to run but I think they do take a good while to warm up and I tend to put more hot water in than cold apart from that id advise anyone whose wanting a hot tub to try these first

Can they be used inside?

I'm buying a house at the mo and fancy a hot tub in the conservatory....

Probably would go with a fixed one but may try a blow-up first to see if it's just a novelty

How do you get rid of the water when finished? I assume there is a valve and when outside you just dump it on the ground?

Or perhaps the pump can be used....

This is the reason we bought ours. To check if it would be worth splashing out on a proper one. And we will.

Yes, they can be used indoors and yes there is a valve on the bottom to let the water out. Obviously won't be using that bit indoors!! We paid £270 for ours and use it quite a bit. As someone said they can take a while to heat up if they've been switched off so can't really be spontaneous unless you have it on all the time. Plus there is the chemical balance too. We tend to put ours on over the weekend and switch off in the week. The average heating time is about 2c per hour.

Hope this helps xxx

Brill thanks it does

Research I have done says the real ones cost about 40/month in electricity...there are also a few regs to adhere to when installing.

There was also a post on here regarding the Manchester Sexpo where hot tub manufacturers were selling them off cheap on the last day so as not to have to transport them back etc

As you know, a real one is a few K so not an impulse purchase as it were

We have had one for two years now and love it. We have had plenty of meets in it which have been great. We have now decided to invest in a proper hottub now as they are a little bigger and we like the idea of it being always on as we have missed a few opportunities in the inflateable one due to the time it takes to heat. We also found it cools pretty quickly when used where a ridged one does not

"we looked into hiring one with the idea of a small get together here - reviews we looked at said that they didnt stay hot for long - ??"

You can keep an electric heater nearby. The running costs of them strike me as probably prohibitive. When I get solar power I'd be more open to them. Cue someone saying they're only 8p a day yo run.

It's all relative really. If you leave it on 24/7 it's going to cost you. We only put ours on when needed. It's personal preference.. Personally, we love it
