f you are about to make a decision to buy a hot tub, then the choice that awaits you is quite daunting. The variety of hot tubs on the market in the UK is both wide and varied – and could be confusing.


The prices quoted on the hot tubs have been checked with the manufacturers and are as accurate as possible. However, it is important that you check with your dealer as there will be some differences in the market. You will see that many of the hot tubs we have selected come with a variety of options. Some are standard and will be included in the price – others will involve added costs and so this will naturally affect the price you are finally quoted. So where do you start and what are the options?


For a first-time buyer we believe it is about three things: price, value and reliability. Hot tubs now are produced


almost bespoke to the buyers’ needs with therapeutic jets positioned to suit your specific needs. But it’s also about water cleansing, how environmentally friendly the tub is and whether you want television, DVD or music systems as part of the package.


It is also about the warranty which will be given with the tub and the help and service you will be offered.


In our selection we’ve included just some of the technical information you will need to know about the tub – including in every case what the manufacturer is offering as a warranty but these can and do vary across a number of areas so please check them thoroughly with your retailer. So here’s our choice of the top 30. It isn’t comprehensive and of course


there are some great hot tubs which haven’t made it on to our list but it does, we hope, offer a starting point as you try to find the tub you are looking for.


01. MSpa Luxury Exotic Jet Spa from Stour Valley Spas Price £1,195 This inflatable spa is literally ‘hot off the press’ and will be available at Easter for the first time. There’s a great deal of strength and rigidity about the J-213 Luxury Exotic tub. MSpa designers and engineers were able to rethink the traditional spa design – in terms of innovation, portability, features and performance. The result has raised MSpa technology to a new height with the introduction of the first massaging jet spa with eight powerful hydro jets. The new model also features a chic material pick – crocodile pattern cover with satin golden trim and unique MSpa logo zipper head. So even at the cheapest end of the market you can feel the benefit after a MSpa hydrotherapeutic session.
