Intex Pure Spa Inflatable Hot Tub Review 2023

17. 5. 2020 last updated

The only hot tubs worth owning are really expensive, right? Think again. You might be surprised by how nice inflatable hot tubs can be. One to consider is the Intex Pure Spa.

Intex PureSpa Inflatable Hot Tub Review

The manufacturer: Intex calls themselves “the leader in Above Ground Pools, Airbeds and Inflatable Spas” and they can back this claim up. Their line of affordable inflatable products has a good reputation.

The hot tub has strong construction that is both durable and comfortable. The walls offer stability with a fiber-tech design made from puncture-resistant 3-ply laminated material. In fact, it’s stable enough that you can sit on top of the edge without risk of buckling or collapsing.

This hot tub can fit up to four adults, but it will be most comfortable for only 2-3 adults.

Our tip

Be sure to also check out our article on the best inflatable spas and the best hot tubs (inflatable and solid) overall!

You can get a gentle massage from the bubble jets but you aren’t able to get a more high-powered massage from this spa.

Both setup and take down are fast and easy. Portability is a major selling point of this hot tub. It has carrying handles to move it around without fully taking it down and a convenient carrying case for more involved transport.

Easy maintenance is another attractive feature. The hot tub features a hard water treatment system, a system that prevents mineral buildup, and a simple replaceable filter cartridge system for keeping your spa as clean as possible. A floating chemical dispenser keeps the water balanced and safe.

Buyer rating

Most purchasers of this inflatable hot tub seem to be pretty happy. It has over 2,000 reviews on Amazon and has an average of 3.8 stars. Some users do complain that they had problems with the motor, the pump, and air leaks. Several people report that when they did have a problem, the Intex customer service was friendly and responsive. Others, though, report that customer service did not help resolve their problems. Those users who are happy with the product rave about the price, the easy setup, and the comfort. One reviewer describes the spa as “such a great investment.” Another says she “thought this would be a joke but after we got it set up, we love it.” That is a common refrain. Many people have low expectations because it is low-cost inflatable, but end up being pleasantly surprised when it exceeds their expectations. Click here to see the customer reviews for yourself
