Coleman Lay Z Spa Review: Still Good?

When you think of the brand Coleman, the first thing that comes to mind are coolers and tents.

However, did you know that the popular outdoor supplies manufacturer also produces inflatable hot tubs?

This fact is a bit surprising, but totally in line with the outdoor recreation products that Coleman manufactures. The Lazy Spa line is one of the renowned portable hot tub or massage spas with bubble jets that the Coleman company has in this category.

The outdoor spa comes with its own pumping unit that can completely fill the hot tub with air in less than an hour.

Filling the Coleman inflatable hot tub with water is a breeze through the built in hose outlet. It has a maximum water capacity of up to 254 gallons and can reach this level in mere minutes. Moreover, the tub as well comes with rigid handles so you can drag and relocate it when needed.

GREAT FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS!

The huuuuuge package (heh) comes with a DVD that explains how to correctly setup the spa and how to maintain it. This added informational material is quite useful especially for first time hot tub buyers as it can help speed up the installation process.

Sturdy and Durable

As you’d expect from a Coleman hot tub masterpiece, this Spa is proven to have superior strength and is robust enough to withstand anything you throw at it.

sturdy and durable

The Lay Z Spa is made of three layers of tough materials
It’s made of a three-fold layer of PVC, leatheroid, and polyester mesh, which makes it very resistant to the elements and other types of damage. It’s strong build allows it to resist punctures and scratches.

The walls of the Coleman inflatable spa hot tub are also designed to withstand overall load (that of the people in the tub and the water) and other types of activities that would buckle or bend the tub’s thin panels. This is all thanks to an i-beam construction which not only brings a solid shape to the spa unit but also increases its structural strength.

Despite its sturdy design, the Coleman SaluSpa is considerably lighter than many of its rivals. This is a bit of an advantage especially when you are relocating the tub. As a safety feature it comes with a cover as well.

Comfort-Centric Features

Much like other reviews we’ve done in the past, this one wouldn’t be complete without mentioning its key feature, which is comfort.

Experience maximum relaxation

We’ve tested out many other inflatable and portable hot tubs in the past, but this one from Coleman (apart from the perfect water temperature) definitely gave us one of the most satisfying dips in a long time.

It’s got just the right amount of bubbles going out of its jets that it gives you a gentle massage. The engine is also quiet enough that you barely notice it. As such, you can enjoy the hot tub experience without worrying about any noise.

Moreover, it’s also nice that they added a digital control panel which enables you to manage every bit of the spa’s operation. It also has that start/stop timer in its heating system which when turned on automatically manages the hot water temperature you set.

When it comes to safety and cleanliness, you may also have the option to use the Lay-z-spa chemical floater. Just add tablets of chlorine to the floater and attach it to your Coleman SaluSpa. You can set the intensity on how the chlorine is released.

Outstanding Heat Retention

Another great feature that other Coleman Spa reviews missed is the inflatable hot tub’s ability to retain heat for a long period of time.

Unlike other hot tubs, its heat capability range is at 40 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit which can cater on different individual preferences.

Its rapid heating system warms the tub at a rate of two to three degrees Fahrenheit per hour and in as little as 24 hours, the waters can reach its maximum temperature.

Higher heat retention = more time to play!

The spa unit also has air pad cushioned floors which is located underneath the tub. This helps with insulation and decreases the tub's heat loss at the base of the spa.

As such, you can always expect a soothing experience while soaking in its warm waters. Even when you want to use its bubble jets massage function, the temperature remains almost the same as before.

Is This Product for You?

The Coleman hot tub Lay Z Spa is an incredible outdoor hot tub with massaging jets without the jaw dropping price tag. It definitely makes the shortlist of the best inflatable hot bath tubs at under $500. Because it's portable and easy to setup, it can be installed in almost every type of home and even beats the Intex PureSpa.

The only drawback about this model is the added cost of maintaining the tub’s water quality. Its filtration system requires additional products for it to be fully functional. Other than that, this spa set is a great recreational investment.

Wrapping it Up

Overall, this Coleman Spa inflatable hot tub is worth every single dime. It has several features that you won’t find on other brands in this category.

It’s one of the hot tubs we have reviewed that we highly recommend, especially for first time buyers of outdoor spa.
