Lay-Z-Spa Stockholm: common questions
Is the Lay-Z-Spa Stockholm any good?
With 7 out of 10, the Lay-Z-Spa Stockholm ranks 3 of 32 in our comparison. Strengths: Foam wall and built-in heater, Square shape fits a corner. Weakness: 164 cm is small inside for six. Best for: Buyers who must have a square foam tub and value the look.
How many people fit in the Lay-Z-Spa Stockholm?
Lay-Z-Spa sells it for up to 6 people. It measures 164 x 164 x 65 cm 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 Stockholm 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 Stockholm 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 Stockholm?
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 Stockholm cost?
The last price we saw was £1,000, about £167 per seat. Hot tub prices climb before summer and drop around Black Friday, and the retailer shows the current price.
