Intex28439EP PureSpa Greywood Deluxe Inflatable Spa Set: Includes Energy Efficient Cover – Spa Control App – Wireless Control Panel – 4 Person Capacity – 77" x 28"

Instructions are not the best for set up but it is not terribly complicated. You will likely need chemicals (chlorine tabs, ph up, ph down, anti-foam) very soon after set up. The cover is a full skirt on the tub and not easy to get on and off but is likely more efficient than the style that just sits on the top. There are clips on the side of the tub for the other style cover but they are not used. It holds temp pretty well while in use here in florida with night time temps in the 60's. Drops about 2 degrees and hour without the bubbles on, will drop faster with the bubbles. Probably would not recommend for outdoor use in Northern states during the winter like Ohio where we moved from. I don't think the heater could keep up.* update * cover is a pain on the backside. I don't expect my very capable wife to have the patience to get it on and off. May be more energy efficient but not worth the hassle. Would have preferred the top that fits the clips on the side of the tub.

The media could not be loaded. It gets hot! Easy setup and true to heating @ 2-3° per hr. Filled it up with tap water and temp was 56°, shy of 24 hrs later it was at 104°. Bubbles are nice and act like jets, if you lean your back against the wall get a soft massage feel. Bit noisy with the bubbles, wish there was a way to adjust the air flow to quiet it up a bit. At night the LED light is cool. Turned off the gazebo lights and just left the spa LED on and it was pretty sweet, especially with a clear night and all the stars in the sky!Buy it, you won't regret it! I did buy the Intex seats as well and they are great. He foam headrests it came with are perfection! I'm 5'10" and when I have the bubbles on like I said its noisy, so having the seat lifts me up a few inches so my head is well above the tub and that tones down the noise to my ears. As far as leg room there is plenty to sprawl out and stretch real good!

I have had a couple of these hot tubs and they are great. Only last about two seasons then something fails.I purchased my last replacement and filled it up. With in one hour all the water had leaked out. I inspected for a hole with no luck. Determined it was a faulty seam. Called Intex and got a warranty claim. 4 months later spa is still out of stock with no eta. However I can order one from Amazon and have it tomorrow.

So I ordered this item, and the seller sent the item via FedEx… However, sometime in transport FedEx “lost“ the shipment, so it was delayed a few times… I contacted the seller explained that I was a victim of a phishing scam on Amazon earlier and they sent out a brand new one which came within a few days. During that time, the seller did keep in touch with me via Amazon, so I do appreciate that the customer service was very good… now onto the tub: I replaced An Intex Simple spa with this pure spa deluxe. The differences in the tub are this: The width of the tub is still the same (77inches wide) However, the depth is 2 inches deep deeper. The wall construction, I feel is a little bit better and more heavy duty. Other than that, the deluxe part is in: , the bubble heat control system, and the energy efficient cover. The Really nice headrest, And the control system itself.. (I haven’t gotten in the tub yet, but I bought partially because of the description “high powered bubble jets” So I will have to see if those are any more noticeable than the simple spa). One thing that I was really looking for during all of my searching for the perfect tub was if any of the manufacturers made one where the Air for the bubbles comes out hot . (It’s nice to be in a nice warm bubble tub but as soon as you turn those bubbles on the water temperature degrades about 1° or two for every half an hour basically). Only one manufacturer makes that and I can’t even remember who. (Would be a great service if INTEX could figure out a way to heat the air in those bubbles). Now for the deluxe cover.. It really is deluxe. It’s very heavy duty and I’m sure it’s going to keep the heat in my tub when I’m not using it. HOWEVER…. I did something really stupid… I didn’t read the directions for the cover! I just assumed you inflated The cover. Well, you inflate the bladder that it comes with But do not inflate the cover. What I did was blow all of the insulation foam That is manufactured into the top of the cover , off to one side and now it looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame. I may purchase a new one from the company, but I’m not sure if it would be worth it at this point. It just depends on the cost of a new deluxe cover… otherwise I’ll DIY something. Because I already voided the warranty by trying to inflate .In summary I give 4 stars because CUST SERVICE was very good , tub is sturdy and easy to assemble, but I haven’t used it yet so I’ll reserve that extra star.

2nd UPDATE:Seller offered a full refund or a new one. So they sent me a new one, it a arrived and all looks good. Even when products are sold with missing parts, not working properly , etc., as long as the seller makes it right, that’s all anyone can ask for! 👍🏼UPDATE:The seller responded quickly. My options were to send it back and they would send me out a new one, or they will send me the missing part and instruction manual, which is the option I choose since this was a gift for my husband, they even offered me a discount for my inconvenience. Using it less than 4 days and it’s already showing an error code E90, which is a water flow issue. And I notice it seems to be wet consistently in one spot on the ground under the hot tub, even though it hasn’t been used for many hours and everywhere else is dry.The package arrived within 24 hours, which was impressive. However the box came damaged, and missing instructions and tube for inflating the actual hot tub. It looks like a specific part is needed to put air in it. I bought this as a surprised gift, I planned to have it set up and now I can’t use it until the part is sent to me. I have contacted seller. 2 stars for a quick delivery.

Product was super easy to set up. We had purchased the older Coleman versio, and this is far superior. The only thing was the inside float to keep the water hot won't hold air don't know if we popped a whole in it when we opened it.

Spa worked great for a few months, took it down over the summer, put it back up this fall and the pump unit failed. ~1 yr old. No support from the manufacturer other than buy a new pump. ~$300+I would not recommend buying this unless you want to buy a new pump every year.
