Shop for a hot tub and you will find ten "best hot tub" lists that each crown a different winner, and hardly any of them tell you how they picked it. We do it differently.
What we do
We compare 32 inflatable, foam-wall and frame hot tubs from 8 brands on numbers anyone can check: seats, insulation, jets, heater, app control, the guarantee, price per seat and the ratings of real buyers on Amazon.co.uk. From those we work out a score from 0 to 10. The rules are all in How we score.
What we don't do
We have not sat in these hot tubs ourselves and we never claim to. You won't find lab tests, award badges or paid placements here. When a maker does not publish a figure, we write "not published" instead of guessing one.
How the site pays for itself
When you buy through one of our links, the retailer pays us a small commission. You pay the same price. The commission has no effect on the score or the order of the lists, because the code works those out from the data. Read more in our affiliate disclosure.
Spotted a mistake?
Makers change models and prices every spring. If you spot something wrong, email us at the address on our legal notice page. We check the source and fix the entry.
