This was a first priority purchase when I moved into a new home. Empty, it's about 300 lbs and needs an assist to move. Mine is plugged in on the deck and fits nicely in the corner. It fills quickly, 1.5 hours but takes another 12 hours to get up to 104 which is where I keep it. Since it doesn't heat while in use (plug in only) it will lose a few degrees when you're in it 30 minutes. I like it very warm. Great for two but could handle three. It has worked almost perfectly were it not for some confusion about filtering settings. I love it especially in winter. I highly recommend this little gem.
