Coleman SaluSpa Miami Energy-Efficient AirJet 2-4 Person Inflatable Hot Tub

One of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I ordered it impulsively after hearing word of mouth theat they are great. I've seen these things for years on pallets in retail stores and never thought much about them other then how tacky they must look and how much of a hassle they must be. I was definitely wrong. Arrived quickly, heavy box. Need a hand truck for sure. swept out an empty corner with an outlet on my otherwise unused lanai and opened it up. Setup was simple. Came with the spa itself, the control unit, the regular cover with the cambuckles, a filter and housing, a chemical dispenser and all the hoses to fill it up, and an extra insulated cover. Setup was fast and easy. Hook up the inflator hose to the control unit and connect the other end to the one way valve marked "1" and turn on. You use the bubble motor to inflate it, took only a minute or so. Then you fill the inflatable portion of the cover in the port marked "2". Now your off to filling with water. Water took about two hours for me, but I have a small diameter hose I was using, so your mileage may vary, but heating the water initially took A LONG TIME. Took overnight in fact to get that first time to 104. Usage is fantastic. Went and got some Bromine tablets, Ph up & down, anti foam, and some test strips from a local pool chemical supply store, tossed in some bromine and dove in. I set up a tv on the wall in the corner and I have a new place to relax after work. I unwind in this thing every night and I regret not getting one sooner. I've also since purchased two must have accessories. The cup / snack holder from Lazy Spa (need this for drinks and remote) and the Lazy Spa LED light that screws into place where the discarded chemical dispenser connects. A couple things to note: The blower on the bubble maker is super loud. A vacuum cleaner level of volume right next to you. I think a conversation is doable, though you do have to speak up, but watching tv required earbuds to hear with the jets on. Jets off it's totally fine but what's point of that right? Also the jets will rapidly lower the temperature of your water, especially on cold nights. It has gone down 5 degrees in fifteen minutes on a chili Florida winter night. Just bare that in mind. If you want to prolong your time it's best to start out with them off until your almost ready to get out, then run them until the water gets too lukewarm. It will take a couple hours with the cover on to get back to max temp. The chemical dispenser connector that came with this thing is dumb. You are supposed to use it to put the bromine tablets in the dispenser and then the filtered water that comes back in through the outlet passes through the tablets and back into the spa. The problem though, is that the tablets don't fit so you have to break them up and they make a mess everywhere. After a few days messing with it and not getting a decent bromine reading I gave up and just took a small plastic bottle the diameter of the tablets, drilled a bunch of holes in it, put a few tablets in and tossed it in the spa like a floater. Works perfect. You can't go wrong with one of these. Big quality of life upgrade. It feels like luxury for a very small cost.

My $500 Coleman Hot Tub Adventure I ordered my Coleman Miami AirJet inflatable hot tub on a Thursday. By Friday, it was sitting on my porch like a big, boxy promise. Unfortunately, my grand plan to pressure wash and seal the deck (a project doomed from the start) kept me from tearing into it. By Saturday morning, I came to my senses—after a motorcycle ride, of course—and ditched deck maintenance in favor of bubbles. Assembly was absurdly easy, which explains the hieroglyphic instruction sheet. The only head-scratcher was the inflation hose, which sounds like a jet engine leaking air. Don’t panic—it still fills the tub in under five minutes, then seals itself tight like a stubborn pickle jar. Bonus: no risk of blowing the thing up like a parade balloon. Hooking up the pump and heater was child’s play: three connections that line up like they were actually designed that way. Filling it took 45 minutes with water straight out of my well—about as warm as melted ice. Naturally, I hopped in anyway, mostly to recover from my intellectual battle with the instructions. While my teeth chattered, I fiddled with the control panel. Some buttons were intuitive; others looked like symbols from a crashed alien spacecraft. At least I figured out how to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Watching the numbers creep up one degree at a time was oddly thrilling—like binge-watching a very slow TV show. The pump trickles out water warm enough that nobody will ever sue Coleman for burns. I quickly realized it would take all night to get the water from “glacial” to “cozy.” Thermodynamics is undefeated. So I strapped down the insulated cover, crossed my fingers, and called it a night. Sunday morning yoga on the porch had me dreaming of hot bubbles. I lifted the cover with ceremony. Ninety-seven degrees. Close enough. Not “lobster boil” hot, but comfortably warm. Honestly, it’s impressive that water at body temperature still feels warm instead of neutral. Science is weird. The bubble button was my next mystery. I expected dainty little fizzies, like a soda fountain. Instead, the tub turned into a frothing cauldron, and I realized two things: (1) I would never boil to death in this tub, and (2) I could fall asleep in it without drowning. Luxury! Now, about the reviews. Too many people expect a $500 inflatable tub to perform like a $5,000 spa. That’s like complaining your tricycle doesn’t win the Tour de France. The heater will never blast water to 110° and hold it there during a snowstorm. The temp will drop when you add cold air, cold bodies, and bubbles. That’s not failure—that’s physics. Capacity? It says “2–4 people.” Sure—if you invite four people you don’t mind sitting thigh-to-thigh with, and preferably ones who skipped lunch. Four average American adults displace nearly 90 gallons of water. This tub holds 177 gallons at 80%. You do the math. For me, it’s perfect for two. Three if you’re very friendly. Four if you’re running a clown car experiment. Bottom line: If you want a cheap, portable tub for cold plunges or hot soaks, this is a winner. If you want the centerpiece for your ten-couple swingers club, you’re in the wrong aisle. It’s not a Jacuzzi. It’s not even trying to be. And that’s exactly why I love it. Addendum: Further Information: I solved the EO2 error by simply changing the filter and increasing the water level to the TOP mark. When I originally filled the tub it was right in the middle, then after a few weeks the water level dropped close to the bottom mark. That's when the code started. Returning the star.

The very top filter part unfortunately leaks air, after months of absolutely no issues and great experience. The tub will no longer hold air, I can hear it coming from this area, so I unscrewed the part. Not sure how this can even be fixed or if it’s just defective. Hopefully customer service can help with a solution. Literally it just started leaking flat, I’m very good with the upkeep and wouldn’t post a bad review if I was to blame. This appears to be more of the plastic device being defective then owner neglect. Kinda bummed out I think I told about 10 people to buy one of these cause they are fantastic.

Have been running and using this Coleman 2-4 person round hot tub constantly now for 6 months, so thought it time for a review. It's set up in the basement on foam matt. Easy to assemble, is nice and rigid. Heats up from 40ish degrees to 104 in about 36 hours. Pump and heater work very quietly, just a very low hum (nice). Size wise, I'm 6'4" and can sit straight legged on the bottom with my feet comfortable resting against opposite wall. Comfortable for two people, I wouldn't like to see four, there'd be no room for water. Using the insulated cover, there's negligible difference in our electricity bill. I would buy again.

So easy to set up! Using the water pump to air up and air down the spa is great! Used it during colder months as a heated spa, now in summer, use as a “spool”. Nice to sit in and cool off on hot day. Just use the filter portion to keep spa chemicals dispersed in water. The covers it came with are quite substantial. I use both during winter months to hold heat in and just the lightweight one during summer to keep debris out. I love it!

We bought this because we wanted a hot tub for the cooler months—which, let's be honest, is about eight months of the year here in Michigan. We specifically chose an inflatable model because we didn't want a permanent hot tub sitting in the backyard all summer when we likely wouldn't use it much. Setup was straightforward, and the tub inflated nice and firm. It holds heat well, was easy to maintain, and I appreciated that it came with the thicker insulated cover for colder weather. For the price, it delivered exactly what we were looking for. A couple of tips for new owners: put it on the thickest insulated pad you can reasonably get, as a lot of heat loss occurs through the bottom. Also, place it in an area protected from the wind if possible. Those two things alone can make a noticeable difference in heating costs and temperature retention. The biggest downside was that after about three months, I got the dreaded E02 error. I tried every troubleshooting step I could find and couldn't get it resolved. Fortunately, Coleman really came through on the warranty side. I submitted my Amazon receipt, serial number, photos, and a description of the issue. Within about a week and a half, they shipped me a brand-new pump/filter unit, and I didn't even have to send the old one back. No product is perfect, but good customer service matters. Between the performance, ease of maintenance, portability, and excellent warranty support, I'd buy it again without hesitation.

We’ve had this for 2 weeks now and I’m over the moon happy! This is perfect for me and my husband, especially because of how hot this summer has been! No need for us to use the heater yet, sooo refreshing and no more heat exhaustion. Wish we would have gotten it years ago but it’s all good now!!! WONDERFUL PRODUCT

With all of the inflatable spas out there, I went with Coleman- a well trusted brand and i was not disappointed. First, it was well packaged. Boxes inside of boxes- but well packaged. The instructions were a little confusing with mostly just pictures- but have no fear, there is a video online! Much easier to follow and more clear. With just using the video- the set up was 20-30mins tops. I know a few people were complaining that it is not heating up- but have patience! It takes a good 36 hours to go from 50degrees F to the top temp 104F. So now to the good part- using it! The Jets were located all around the bottom of the spa and were surprisingly strong. It doesn’t offer the direct jets on your legs are on your back, but if you’re looking for a little light massage, this is the spa for you. For an inflatable spa. It was very comfortable and definitely relaxing. The only downside that me and my boyfriend could find was lack of neck support or pillows around the perimeter. But using a folded up towel may be a quick solution. We have had the spa set up for a bit over two weeks and love using it. Ee have used it in below freezing temps and stayed rather hot for a while- the jets being on made the temp drop a bit- but the spa kept its warmth better when the jets were kept off(keep in mind that was we used it in temps in the teens!). Overall would totally recommend if you dont have the financial capacity for installing a real hot tub, have limited space, or just want to try one out to see if you want a more permanent spa in your house/yard.
