Usability

2.6 out of 10
  • Brand figure: the chiller text on every tub page says 39°F, while the chiller selector gives the standard chiller 41°F
  • Conversion: 350 W × 3.412 is about 1,194 BTU/hr; the FAQ gives 280 W of power use and 41°F for up to 130 gal below 85°F outside
  • Not included: no ozone, UV-C or heating; app control comes only with the Pro chiller
  • Searched: Intertek UL CSA CPSC Health Canada
  • Extended: the store adds its $99.99 two-year extended warranty free with any tub; it is not the scored warranty
  • Returns: product pages give 100 days on tubs and the refund policy 180 days; chillers 30 days; the buyer pays return shipping
  • Option: with the Pro chiller (39°F, integrated pump and filter, app control) $1,049.00
  • Option: tub alone $559.00
  • Option: chiller alone $499.00

Strengths

  • Tall barrel lets most adults sit fully under
  • Light enough to move and store
  • Plugs into a standard household outlet
  • Insulated lid included
  • Fine filtration keeps the water clean between changes

Drawbacks

  • Standard chiller stops short of the coldest settings
  • Small chiller output for a barrel this size
  • No app control with the standard chiller
  • Warranty terms differ between product pages
  • Inflatable walls feel less sturdy than a hard tub
  • Store pages make wellness claims we do not assess
Verdict

Good value for a tall chilled tub, but cooling and warranty are thin
