Lay-Z-Spa New York: common questions

How many people fit in the Lay-Z-Spa New York?
Lay-Z-Spa sells it for up to 6 people. It measures 196 cm across, 66 cm high on the outside, and the walls take up part of that. Makers count seats generously, so plan on fewer adults for real comfort.
Does the Lay-Z-Spa New York have water jets?
No. It has 140 air bubble jets only. They feel relaxing but do not massage like water jets do.
Can I plug the Lay-Z-Spa New York into a normal socket?
Tubs like this run from a 13 A socket. Use a weatherproof outdoor socket with RCD protection and no extension lead. On many inflatables the heater and the bubbles cannot run at the same time.
What guarantee comes with the Lay-Z-Spa New York?
Up to 2 years from the maker. Guarantees on hot tubs often split between the liner and the pump, so check the terms.
How much does the Lay-Z-Spa New York cost?
The last price we saw was £550, about £92 per seat. Hot tub prices climb before summer and drop around Black Friday, and the retailer shows the current price.
