ALEKO Inflatable Hot Tub Spa | Personal High Powered Jetted Bubble | 145 Gallon | Black and White

First it is pretty heavy in a small box. It is well packaged and comes with a storage carry bag. It also comes with a cover for the pool when its not in use to keep debris from falling into the water. The quality of material is very thick and heavy duty, making it feel durable. Installation was very simple and the instructions were clear except it missed a small little step. It has a built in air pump that is used for bubbling the water as well as inflating the tub. Inflating was very simple with just a hose that connects to the main control unitl/pump and the air port which has a valve for easy inflation. There was a step that states to install the filter to the inlet port, But it did not say that there were 2 filters to install. Once inflated it feels very sturdys and holds its form very well. The controls are very simple to operate. The bubble and heat are just a button to press. Temperature can be adjusted to desired temp.

This Hot Tub stopped heating 5 months after my purchase. Since it was within the 180 day warranty I contacted their customer service department, and while they were slow to respond, an usually required me emailing two or three times, they agreed to send me a replacement heater. Prior to sending the heater they sent a 2-minute video showing how to install the new heater. What they did not send was any instruction on how to remove the current heater. After a few more emails they sent me that video (again 2 minutes long) and not nearly enough instruction on how to remove it. After two hours of trying I realized I could not get the original heater out without ripping the hot tub to shreds. I emailed several more times asking for either more descriptive instructions or for them to replace it with a brand new tub. They have not responded since and I have initiated a dispute with my credit card company. Aleko have terrible customer service, poor product and an unwillingness to stand behind their warranty. Buy at your own risk.

UPDATE 5 MONTHS THE JUST STOPPED AND THEN THE NOTHING WOULD WORK , I HAD THIS ON A COVERED PATIO NEVER IN THE WEATHER AND KEPT IT CRYSTAL CLEAR WITH CLEAN FILTERS SO NO REASON FOR IT TO STOP WORKING OTHER THAN POORLY MADE HEATHER , AMAZON HAD EXCEPED THE RETURN ,BUT ITS HELL TO WRAP THIS BACK UP FOR UPS TO PICKUP OFF THE PORCH I GUESS WE'LL SEE IF THEY PICK IT UP OR NOT DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT, IVE OWN 4 OF THESE ,THIS BRAND IS BY FAR THE MOST DEFECTIVE..........Love it ,this is the small one 1 person , I've had Few hot tubs ,Hard expensive hot tubs and 3of these inflatable, this one the motor pump is built into the side, it's much quieter, and because of its size ,oval you good action from the bubbles, it's heats to 102 most of the time, 104 is too hot for me , I just use a float with a clorine tablet keeps it clean, but ,it's a small tub so a 1inch tablet is a lot , I dont leave in the tub 24h. It's to strong , I cleaned my filters 2 times a week with a water hose ,that's the key to keeping these type of tubs operating correctly, plus nobody gets in it but me

So far so good. Took less than 24 hours to bring 47F well water up to 101F. Bubbles were much more powerful than expected. As expected our screen porch concrete floor is slanted away from the building for drainage and that does make the spa a bit unlevel. However, it does not affect operation. As previously reviewed the instructions are not clear on how to inflate so YouTube is your friend. We'll see how it lasts. We will spring for a real spa if this one gets enough use, but at this price point it's great to test for site and desired features. Update-We ran this tub on weekends in Minnesota until the end of October when we knew we wouldn't be able to bring it up to temp economically. We used very hard well water and had to clean the filters after about 100 hours of use, then replace completely after 3 cleanings. With test strips and Clorox brand chemicals purchased from Amazon, and filters ordered directly from the manufacturer, it was easy and inexpensive to keep the water balanced and clear. After owning a 6 person real hot tub at another home, and barely using it over 11 years we surprised ourselves at how much time we spent in this one. Liked it so much we've ordered a real 2 person hot tub from a local dealer. Bottom line-you're probably only going to get a year, possibly 2 out of this, but if you're not sure about investing in a hot tub for your site this is a good option to try before making a huge investment.

I ordered this in February in hopes to be able to use this all summer. It is listed with a max temperature of 104°. When I set this up when it was finally warm enough to use, the temperature for the water never got above 97°, often below that. The only time I was able to use this comfortably as a hot tub was when it was over 90° in the weather temperature thus heated the water in my hot tub making it usable as a hot tub. I contacted the seller and was told there was nothing that could be done and that if my unit was not Heating to appropriate temperature I could purchase a replacement motor. I spent over $450 on this and have only been able to use it three times when the weather was so hot it made the water hot like a hot tub. Waste of money.

Today I unboxed my hot tub and so far it’s impressive for the price. It was really easy to set up and straight forward on how to operate. It was a nice size and fit on the patio nicely. I haven’t used it yet, waiting for it to heat up. It does take a while to get warmed up but that is expected based on the smaller hardware. The bubble mode is pretty strong and I look forward to getting in to feel the full experience.

Price was great - a little too great. The Bad (clearly more important than the good): The heater failed after less than 48 hours, as tracked by my circuit-specific energy monitoring device (name redacted, but it rhymes with Informia Synergy). The hot tub heated room temp water to 104F once, then once covered it would not maintain temp before the end of the 2nd day. For reference: startup time with a full water volume was 12/3/2023 1PM, power draw 1300W, peaked 1640W 12/3 6PM and maintained through 12/4 9PM with a measurement of 1470W, before dropping to 473W at 10PM, and never peaking above 386W between 12/4 11PM and 12/8 5PM with a 24 hour disconnect/cool-down period on 12/5 6PM to 12/6 6PM. Water temp, as measured 12/8/2023 5PM (5 days, 5 hours after delivery) was 65F, in a climate controlled 4 seasons room with an average temp 65F-70F this time of year. Resetting and unplugging the unit made no difference in heater performance or power draw. I do NOT recommend this brand to anyone until they fix their heaters. Please check additional 2 and 3 star reviews (and probably 1 star) - the heater is a common failure piece on these units, and the return process is atrocious. Amazon doesn't immediately issue a refund/return label, but instead will 'email me instructions to complete the refund'. Pay with a credit card if you insist on buying this, so you can rely on your credit card provider (Visa, Amex, MC, Discover, etc.) to provide consumer protections in case Amazon and the seller decide to deny your refund). DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT The Good: Hot tub inflates easily, and setup is fairly straightforward. A decent chemical kit for spas allows easy setup and proper water chemistry, and the 110V plug with GFCI and easy drain and easy inflate is pretty nice. It does include a (cheap) cover with locking switches, but honestly anything heavier than an infant would be at risk with the cover included. It also includes a ground cloth, but overall the quality is garbage

Tech Support is very polite and affable. My hot tub showed up with a bad heating element. They processed a warranty request promptly. Unfortunately, it takes several months for the part to ship which puts the return policy and warranty period complete before I even have a working product. Disappointing so far. Hope I can update this review in the future to more positive response if the element shows up and I have a working tub…

We actually didn’t get this set up for a year after we purchased as we needed to make some changes to the space Very easy set up never have been pool or hot tub owners before so needed a few videos from you tube to get us on our way but we are very pleased with the purchase

Works well. Easy set up. Warmed up over night and stays hot. Had some problems with heater 4 months after purchasing it. Aleko helped me out and sent a new heater. Very fast service. Much appreciated with the help customer service provided me.

No warm water. Heater doesn’t work well.

Don't buy one . When I first bought it when the bubbles were on it was blowing cold water and now it won't heat over 100 degrees. Can't seem to get any help with info on a warranty. Just getting the run around . $700 for 6 months usage . Mine was a purchased threw Amazon and not getting any help from them either .garbage

The water got cold when u turn on the air never made it to 104 . Trying to return the gift finally had to us Amazon policy to get it returned to them and Amazon did it quickly as Amazon is awesome .Then the company as far as I know didn't return the money again Amazon stepped up and paid me back for the return Amazon rocks seller avoid
