Very easy to setup and operate. The tub is made of durable material, the cover also, but with a decent layer of reflective insulation. Controls are easy to operate with an integrated inline rcd which makes plugging into an outdoor socket a breeze. In use, the heater does a decent job of maintaining the temp, losing only a couple of degrees after an hour of use. Aeration is pleasantly vigorous, relieving my aches & pains. Filter is easily cleaned but as with all hot tubs water changes and treatment after every use is an absolute must. I have rigged mine up to the swimming pool sand filter which makes my job a lot easier with very little water wastage. In summary, the missus and girls are very happy with it, as am I.
