Just wondering who here owns one and how much u love it and who gets the most out of it! and if its not to much to ask what did it cost to actually have set up and enjoy it! I am running out of ideas for the wife for Christmas and am taking this into consideration, she would enjoy it I know but I need some details, any help would be great

Thanks Joe

We do and looooove it. In fact as soon as the kids go to bed we are jumpin in with a glass of wine in hand, it's -4 and a light snow is falling, perfect night. We don't have one of those ten thousand dollar 6 person 30 jet ones though..it's a soft tub. We can seat us and 3 kids no prob, 3 adults very comfortable and 4 adults isn't over crowded either. It only has 8 jets, nothing fancy but it sure is nice to sit in on nights like this. It's light enough when empty you can move around the deck by yourself..we leave it going all summer and at 100 it doesn't run all that often. It's at 103 now and it runs enough I can sometimes see dollar signs rolling in my eyes..chemical wise there isn't much up keep. We really enjoy it and after sippin on a half bottle of wine and being in it for half hr you sure do get a good nights sleep.

We have one. In it EVERY night! Couldn't live without it. Ours is an 8 person, all the bells and whistles-waterfall, waterproof speaker, sirus etc. Bought on special at home depot for about $6500 5 yrs ago. another grand to get it hooked up, good to go. Costs about $100 a month in hydro after I insulated it. Was costing $200 month with factory enclosure. We keep ours at 103 in the winter and 102 in the summer. We use it all year. Usually two 15 min. cycles every night. It is outside and nothing beats being in it when the temp is -30C and your nice and cozy in the tub.

We have one and only use from about Mid Dec to March but we love it when we have it up and running. Ours is in the house with an exhaust fan in the "tub room". I pull a TV in there sometimes and sip beer and watch golf or a movie, usually lower the temp for longer sits. Deb likes it hot so when we adjust it up the sits are usually half hour or so. Chemicals are not that complicated but you do got to keep up with that and clean the filter here and there. Probably costs us a bit in hydro but being indoors and only using it for 3 months a year probably doesn't amount to much.
