About
People often have a lot of questions when they want to purchase something, and buying an inflatable hot tub is no exception.
While the manufacturer and the Internet provide some (iffy-looking) answers, many buyers still feel that they don’t have the complete information they are looking for.
Because of this need, I took it upon myself to create this site to provide answers from the simplest to the most complicated questions about massage spas, outdoor heated pools and inflatable hot tubs.
I (and some friends) personally review the products featured in this website and provide you our honest take about these items.
We’ve been doing this for about 1 and ½ years so yeah... this is some sort of obsession now.
How We Review Products
Many of the products that you will find in our site have been tested for 36 to 48 hours, before we give our verdicts.
Often, these reviews involve numerous tasks such as figuring out how the product works, checking out if the features are great, finding out issues that may arise when the product is used and weighing in if the product is at the right price point.
We consider our reviews as a labor of love and as such provide only our most sincere judgments about the said product.
I’d like to consider myself as an expert in this field. While we may be regular household owners, many of us have day jobs that are related to the outdoor recreation industry. We are also avid users of pools and hot tubs and love to spend our weekends soaking on them while grilling some ribs.
