We really wanted just a small two-person spa for the back deck of a town home, but the smaller ones were too dang ugly. This is really a great size and really looks good on the deck! Just a big tub, so you can spread out and not be forced into sitting in just one spot like other designs. Nice and deep too for being small.

It has been freezing early this winter, and the performance is fantastic. I was worried about the heating system (never had one like this!) but it has held temperature with no problems. The insulated cover works great. I still don't have enough data to see how much the electricity is costing, but it doesn't run more than one cycle every three or four hours even in the cold weather.

We did not purchase the steps, and honestly don't need them. It is low enough for even my 5-foot two wife to step into.

Looking forward to a lot of time soaking over the cold winter!
