This was our first purchased hot tub.  Living in Florida, there are many that we've been in.  It was easy to put into place--only weighs 255 pounds empty.  Three of us lowered it into our setting which is about 15" below the level floor that we approach the hot tub.  This makes it easier to step in and out of.  The tub works well on it dedicated 15 amp 120 volt circuit.  But the power of the jets is not as strong as a more power demanding hot tub or jacuzzi.  Still it is a very comfortable and soothing soak and helps us sleep better and more relaxed at night.  The right tub for the price.
