Fortunately or maybe not

The hot tub was delivered Monday July 2nd, just in time for the 4th. I was a bit worried about getting it in place in my back yard, due to a sharp turn needed to get it into my gazebo. Between the delivery man, my neighbor and myself it went quite well. Once we removed it from the pallet we were able to roll it into place. It is light enough for 2-3 men to manipulate just about anywhere as long as your measurements are correct, thankfully mine were as well as the dimensions posted. After they left I was able to push the spa into exact position on my cement patio by myself. After reading the instructions I was able to fill it and use it that evening. Fortunately or maybe not, the water coming from my garden hose while filling was a steady 84 degrees. This is Las Vegas and the outside temp was already 106 so I plan on keeping the hot tub at around 85-90 to cool off this summer. One note and I have had this problem in the past with other spas, while filling at high pressure with hose I could tell some air was entering the system, I followed the burping instructions to the letter 5-6 times but still had air and the pump would not prime. Easy fix, use the drain hose in the spa to let out 5 - 10 gals and try again, one more time and all the air was released and the pump primed. As for quality? this is my 4th spa and I am so glad this one has NO wood skirt or surround or frame. The ruff finish should help to get in and out without slipping. I will note that the seats would be a little tight for larger bottomed people but a couple seating positions seem to be wider than others. My only complaint so far would be that the lightweight lid for the filter does not snap in or seem to fit and is flimsy, definitely not suitable to put weight on to balance yourself when entering or exiting and I think if a wind comes up while inside, it may just blow off. Other than that I couldn't be happier for the price and size.

Beyond AWESOME

This hot tub goes beyond my expectations. Delivery was a week early. Came on Saturday and was filled up that night. We are in the country and have well water so took a little longer for that. By Sunday it was at 101 degrees. Had chemical balanced by Monday. Unfortunately it rained so wasn't able to use it until Tuesday. Running it on 110v right now but planning to convert it for winter use and beyond.

Easy set up and maintenance!

Easy set up & maintenance. Love the strong jet pressure. Some seats are a little high the lounger seat with extra jets is the deepest seat and is the perfect depth for me 5’4” and my husband 6’2”.

Fantastic Deal!

Not gonna lie, I was nervous about buying a hot tub on Amazon for such a low price, but I am super happy with the quality, size and function of this hot tub. I set it into position, followed the instructions for fill, and after purging an air lock in the main pipe (again following instructions), it worked like a dream. I am running off of the 110v supplied connection now (with snow on the ground), and see no reason to upgrade to 220v at this time. Jets are decent,light is good, best $2200 new hot tub I could find.

Everything I wanted!

I love my Essential Hot Tub! Have been using it for almost 3 months now. I did have to get a dedicated outlet/breaker installed for it to run properly. Easy to clean and maintain. It has been refreshing during the summer months. Am looking forward to winter and the "true test" of the tub!

Its worth every penny for what you are buying!

Ok, I wanted to wait until fully heated and tested before my review. $2300ish delivered. 2 weeks early. Delivery was smooth and packaged well for a circle lol. Unloaded and it is LIGHT id say maybe 250lbs so easily moveable. Comes with winterized fluid that has to just be washed out per normal. Have it wired just with the 110v that it came with. Took exactly 26hours to fully reach 104 degrees. This unit constantly runs the low jets to keep temps as requested and the only way to turn it off is to unplug it which is fine as Ill have mine running 24/7 with whiskey in my hand. The tub is perfect for my needs. Can comfortably fit myself 6' 205lbs of american eagles and 3 other normal size adults. Obviously being a 250 gallon tub if you and your significant other are both 275lbs you are really risking death lol jk but you get what im saying. Like the reviews say the cover fits perfectttttt....but the mounts are an absolute joke. I literally threw them away and use a sandbag for now. I will edit my post when I find an easier way to mount for the consumer. So overall im giving it 5 stars because this is literally the cheapest tub you will get for the composite and quality!

My wife & I really enjoy our new Arbor Essentials hot tub

My wife & I really enjoy our new Arbor Essentials hot tub. It was easy to set up & preformed nice. Didn't care for the cover strap connectors. They didn't fit the areas they were supposed to be installed at. Comfortable & the price was right. Delivered right to the spot.

Built like a tank

Received our hot tub yesterday. The hot tub was very well secured on a pallet with framing all around to protect it. Setup was easy. Our only problem was we had an airlock and had to loosen a pipe to bleed it. Was filled at 8 pm and the temp was 57 and by 7 am it was up to 75 (120 outlet ). This thing is built like a tank. Also like how the service panel is on hinges and locks with a key and that everything is very easy to work on if needed

Great Tub

This tub has been great for the last five moths since i got it , took three months to get it , preordered, but was worth the wait. get yourself a 220 volt hot tub GFCI breaker while your at it , worth the extra because the tub works much better with 220 volts saves some money on electric bill and the heater works at the same time as the pump motor is running. happy camper

Best bang for the buck.

I use this hot tub every day. I do not know if a better priced hot tub of this size for the money. It is fairly easy to maneuver due to it being round and plastic.
