Instant Home Hot Tub
I disagree with the negative reviews of this product. If anything, it works better than advertised. One complaint was that if you turn it on and leave it running, by the time you get in, the water's cold. Well, don't turn it on until you're ready to get in. Another complaint was the unit is surprisingly loud. It's also surprisingly bubbly --more like a gym hot tub than a home Jacuzzi. The instructions say not to use it with soap or shampoo (not to put it in the hose), but any shampoo or soap that spills in the tub instantly turns into a mountain of frothy foam. Is this thing fun or what? The leaflet also says to dry the mat and sanitize it now and then, but if you can, just disconnect the hose and leave the mat in the tub. It makes a great bath mat, and it's always ready to transform to hot tub mode. Suction cups hold it in place, so it's easy to remove the mat for cleaning. The unit plugs into the wall, but there's no danger since the hose is long enough to keep the unit away from the tub (and most bathrooms have GFI electrical outlets for backup protection). The only problem is that once your friends see your Bubble Spa, they'll want one too, and the tub will suddenly become a popular destination for your roommates or family.
