#1: American Spas Hot Tub AM-628TM
If you want a deluxe hot tub and are willing to pay the big bucks for it, then it hardly gets any better than the American Spas Hot Tub, and here's why.
With 28 massage therapy jets strategically placed on the body's pressure points, you get the ultimate massage therapy.
Plus, you have complete control over the flow and direction. Allowing you to better focus on the stress points (it is just the kind of pampering you need to wind down after a long tiring day).
But that's not all.
When you want your water to be heated, it can be done within minutes with a simple push of a button, thanks to the heavy-duty 5.5kW heater.
Apart from being comfy, you also want your bath to be healthy, clean, and sanitized, right? Well, that is what the Active Ozone Bubbles do.
Furthermore, the ozone bubbles, in tandem with the reusable 50ft. Filters make overall maintenance of the hot tub easy peasy by preventing the growth of mildew and mold (hassle-free usage and cleaning, just the way you like it).
The hot tub also features LED lights that add to the look and feel. Whether you wanted to create a tropical oasis or add a touch of romance, now create any environment you wish to with 7 colors.
Since you will be burning a hole in your pocket for this hot tub, it is essential that the tub isn't just functional but durable and trust us, it does not disappoint.
The 6-breaker HP Pump is one of the most durable pumps on the market. It comes with minimal moving parts that ensure it remains soundless and performance at peak levels for years to come.
Even rain, snow, and dust cannot harm your hot tub as the Hydro-Armor™ Spa Covers can withstand them all. And yes, you get that absolutely free with the tub.
Further increasing the durability are the rock-solid, 18-gauge steel C-Channel beams that make the tub ideal for heavier users as well.
Lastly, while the tub does require some installation, you get all the tools and parts needs for it with the purchase making the process more manageable compared to some other hot tubs.

#2: ARIEL Platinum PW1685959CW1
If you do not want to spend over $4000, don’t worry, you can still enjoy some fancy-frills and that too at a lower cost with the Ariel Platinum.
For example, you can enjoy a warm, cozy bath in the winters with this hot tub as well since it is equipped with a powerful 110V heat pump that takes 2-3 minutes.
One of the main differences is that this tub comes with 22 jets rather than the 28. But that’s not a problem, the massages are just as good.
With 4 flow speeds, you get can control both direction and speed to best suit your needs. Plus, there is a waterfall faucet and handheld shower so you can even wash your hair and other areas if needed.
Keeping the water and the tub bacteria and virus free is the advanced Ozone cleaning system (at this point, there’s hardly any feature more important than that).
It also comes with adjustable LED lights but that’s not where the buck stops.
Along with lighting, you can add to the mood with your favorite music thanks to the in-built speaker and Bluetooth that allows you to connect to any portable speaker or smartphone
Then there is also an FM Radio (date night is about to get a whole lot steamier).
And if you have kids or forgetful family members that forget to turn off the tub after use, don’t worry. Drown the worry of high electricity bills since the tub has a 60 minute Auto Shutdown feature that helps save electricity.
To top it all, you not only get a 2-year limited warranty but it is also a risk-free purchase. That is because it comes with a 30-day return policy (don’t like the hot tub? Get your money back, no question asked).
In case you have any questions regarding functionalities, installation, etc. Ariel also has an experienced, dedicated customer support team at your service.

#3: Coleman 90454 (Best 2-Person Hot tub for Budget Buyers)
What if we told you that you can get your next hot tub in less than $850? Say hello to the Coleman 90454
First and foremost, it is one of the most portable hot tubs you will come across as it is an inflatable hot tub. Although inflation can take some time, it does make it easy to carry around (put in the trunk of the car, it fits in just right).
And moving it around even when inflated (but empty) is pretty easy since it weighs less than 60lbs and comes with handles on both sides.
But does inflatable mean low durability?
Not at all. You get full value for your money as the hot tub’s walls are constructed using ultra-strong TriTech 3 ply material that has passed rigorous stress tests. This also helps keep the temperature constant.
It won’t fly away during strong winds or get filled with debris either as the safety locks clip firmly secure it to the ground.
While durability is important, what’s a hot tub is it doesn’t massage, right?
Thankfully, it checks that box as well. With 114 bubble jets, you can easily soak your sore back, legs, shoulders for quick massage therapy.
And you can adjust the temperature, flow, etc. right from the hot tub with just the press of a few buttons that are easily accessible thanks to the well-placed digital panel.
The water can be heated up to 104-degrees Fahrenheit which takes about 5-10mins. Oh, and unlike most cheaper inflated hot tubs, this one does a great job of keeping the tub clean and fresh with the special chemical floater.
Lastly, everything needed for maintenance and setup will be provided with the purchase. This includes:
- 1 pool liner
- 1 pool cover
- 1 spa pump
- 1 chemical floater
- 2 filter cartridges (VI)
- 1 air pad protector
- 1 repair patch
- 1 AirJet system

#4: ARIEL Platinum BT-150150
Another one of Ariels’ top hot tubs, this one is ideal for anyone looking to buy a mid-range hot tub, and here’s why.
There’s a lot this model carries over from the previous hot tub. For example, this too comes with adjustable LED lights, FM Radio/CD connector, speaker, and microphone.
Furthermore, although it has a lesser number of jets, you won’t be disappointed once you step into it for a hydro massage after a back-breaking day a the gym. Ensuring this is the powerful 18 whirlpool jets.
Once again, there are 4 settings and you easily switch between them using the digital panel. There are also the handheld shower and waterfall faucet.
And yes, even with this hot tub you have the option of getting a refund within 30-days of the purchase in case you aren’t happy. Then there is also the 2-year limited warranty.
Preventing the body from chipping or cracking is its durable build that comes from the Acrylic Reinforced Fiberglass material used in the construction.
So what is different?
Firstly, the hot tub does not sanitize the tub for you unlike with the ARIEL Platinum PW1685959CW1.
Secondly, there’s no Bluetooth which means you cannot play songs via your smartphone or connect an external speaker.
It does not have as many massage modes either and the water takes slightly longer to heat. Though keep in mind, this one weighs just 190lbs compared to the 256lbs of the previous model which makes this one easier to move around and fix.
Lastly, it costs about $800 lesser so if you did not have $2000+ for a hot tub but want features like a good speaker, lights, etc. this is pretty much a steal.

#5: SDI Factory Direct 2 Person Hot Tub (Best for heavy users)
Is durability is a priority for you? Then the SDI Factory Direct hot tub is just what you have been looking for.
That is because unlike most hot tubs, this bad boy comes with a stainless steel frame that does not break, crack, or rust. So if you weigh over 150lbs or more, this is the hot tub for you.
While the 20 jets powered by 2 pumps give you the perfect massage, you can relax your head and take a timeout with the removable cushioned pillows.
By the way, how many times have you forgotten that you had the water running for the hot tub only to come back and see it overflowing? Not anymore as this one has a Water Overflow Drain pre-installed (after all, water conservation is the need of the hour).
Talking about installation, this one barely needs any installation as most of the tub comes pre-installed. That also includes a decent water heater.
To keep you entertained at all times, there is an excellent sound system that lets you connect any device using Bluetooth. There are also multiple LED lights for Chomothepray.
And ensuring you do not catch an infection due to mold or mildew is the Ozon Generator. All its pumps also meet industry standards.
And that’s not us saying it, their pumps have a CE + TUV Approvals to prove that.

#6: QCA Spas 2-Person Hot Tub
Our biggest problem with this hot tub is that the tub is only delivered curbside. If you want to fit it in your bathroom or anywhere in the house, you will have to make your own arrangements.
So why rate it so highly? Well, it pretty darn good.
With 10 jets that focus on the mid-back, 2 for upper back, 2 for lower back, 2 adjustable vortex jets, and 2 adjustable vortex foot jets Pump, it is primed for a whole-body massage.
You do not want to spend hours cleaning and maintain your hot tub and with this, you won’t have to either. Why? That’s because the cabinets made with wood panels require no maintenance.
And if they get scratched or scuffed with time just reverse them and voila, they are just as good as new again.
Plus, it has a good drainage system with filters that keeps it dry and clean while the ozone keeps away germs, mold, and mildew.
It also comes with a stronger exterior structure with its Lucite-Xtra Acrylic build. Unlike other Acrylic tubs, this has a special 3 layer strengthening process called Dura-Bond that gives it the edge. Plus, you’ll get a cover that’s weatherproof for added protection.
Talking about safety, all cords are GFCI protected which means they prevent an electric shock making it ideal to leave your kids in it.
It also sports a powerful and quick 1 KW heater. There’s a 12volt light but no music system or Bluetooth capabilities.
Nonetheless, it is a solid hot tub that’s value for money.

#7: Carver Tubs - TMS7248-12 Jet Hot Tub
Does the fear of slipping prevent you from entering the hot tub? Or maybe you are worried about your kids?
Well, this Carver Tubs hot tub comes with a slip-resistant bottom to ensure you remain worry-free.
Once you are done relaxing in the tub, the water drains away within minutes and with great efficiency. This comes down to the special V body design jets that ensure every remaining drop flows down the drain.
Another thing we love about this Carver is that they give the users multiple options. For example, you can go with either the 12 jet, 6 jets tub.
You can also choose between models that have Bluetooth, lights, air massage, etc. or not Since models vary in price based on features, there’s something for everyone.
If you are an eco-friendly person, there’s good news for you. Carver uses 25% of recycled materials. Plus, its acrylic build means there are zero carbon emissions.
One interesting feature that you can go for is the Vibrosonic Massage that further focusses on the stress points and alleviates any pain or soreness you in your back, shoulders, etc. (a feature no other hot tub on the list offers).
This also makes up for the fact that the Carver tub lacks jets as you are restricted to either just 12 or 6 jets. But one drawback nothing makes up for is the fact that no overflow drain is included.

#8: Mesa BT-084 Combination Tub
Does decor matter to you? Then Mesa BT-084 could be your next hot tub simply because of its eye-catching design. But does that design come with functionalities?
There’s not much wrong with this Mesa Hot tub. It comes with adjustable, cushioned headrests along with contoured seats to ensure you feel like you are in underwater heaven.
Apart from that, Stereo System w/MP3 and adjustable LED lights ensure there’s never a dull moment especially if you happen to be alone.
With the heating pump, you can use the hot tub all year long (winters or summers, your hot tub in your haven any day).
At 150lbs, this is another very light hot tub when compared to other Acrylic hot tubs which makes it fairly easier to move around in case you have space both indoors and outdoors.
There’s also a hand shower. Plus, you get hoses and a faucet line which can be added later if needed.
Also, it comes with a whopping 7-year warranty while most hot tubs come with a short 2-3year warranty. So if you had any doubts about its durability or functioning, there’s your answer.
The only reason this sits on no.7 is that at $2000+ we would have liked a more detailed massage therapy with 15-20 jets so more stress points get covered. A faster water heater would have been great as well.
But if you want something light that’s premium looking, it is worth a consideration.

#9: Bestway 60038E
Light, portable, and cost-effective, the Bestway 60038E hot tub is another one of our favorite inflatable hot tubs and goes toe to toe with the Coleman. Though there are some contrasting differences.
Firstly, the Bestway hot tub has a lower capacity at 160 gallons compared to the 177 gallons of the Coleman.
It also features lesser jets. Though the 110 jets are only 4-5 lesser so the difference in the massage is barely felt.
Secondly, the Bestway tub does not give any warranty details. On the other hand, with Coleman, you get a 1-year warranty on the punk and 90-day warranty on the liner making it a more secure buy.
Lastly, the Bestway does not come with a chemical floater and thus does not do as good a job as the Coleman when it comes to maintaining hygiene.
But it’s not all bad.
If you like to sip on coffee or other drink while in the hot tub, there’s also a cup holder further adding to the convenience of using the hot tub.
Oh, and in case you live in an area where temperatures fall below 0, don’t worry, your hot tub is completely safe with the Freeze Shield. This keeps the tub a tad heated so no water freezes and damages the panel, exterior material, etc.
Further adding to the durability is its DuraPlus walls that have been stress-tested and thus won’t burst easily while also helping keep the temperature constant.
Also, it allows you to set the temperature between 40-104-degree Fahrenheit 40-days in advance with its power-saving, timer-controlled heating system.

#10: SimbaShopping USA Whirlpool 2-Person Hot Tub
Last on our list of the best 2-person hot tubs is the SimbaShopping USA hot tub. Heres’ everything about it.
The most unique feature about the tub is the electric leakage protection system which prevents users from suffering from an electric shock by automatically detecting and cutting of supply in case of a leak.
Apart from that, it has padded headrests along with 16 whirlpool jets designed to prevent soreness, pains, etc.
There’s also Bluetooth, 2 loudspeakers, and radio FM for songs, while the 8 LED light acts as Chromotherapy creating a soothing calm environment.
Like most hot tubs, this too has an acrylic exterior with a steel frame so the tub can withstand the test of time and easily last you for years.
Lastly, there’s also a handheld shower and faucet with the hot and cold ability for further convenience.
All these benefits will cost over $2000 and yes, some installation is needed as well though you won’t have to get even a single screw from outside making the tedious process a bit easier (even for first-time users).

Best 2-Person Hot Tub Buying Guide
When looking to buy a 2-person hot tub, these are the features you should look for so that you get the best bang for your buck.
Number of Jets
Simply put, the more the number of jets the more therapeutic the massage will be. That is because it will be able to cover more stress points without you having to constantly adjust. The top tubs come with 28-30 jets whereas medium-range tubs have around 12-20 jets. Furthermore, having a Whirpool bath system, handheld shower and even faucet can add to the convenience and comfort.
Weight of the Tub
If you are plan on using the hot tub both indoors and outdoors you need something lightweight. Most traditional hot tubs tend to weigh around 200-350lbs. Though there are some exceptions like the Mesa hot tub that is just 150lbs. If you want something even lighter that you can carry on road trips, then we suggest you go with inflatable hot tubs that weigh around 50-60lbs.
Smart Features
Hey, you are in the 21st century and hot tubs aren’t the same anymore either. Did you know hot tubs can come with their own music systems now? Yup, plus, you can even connect your smartphone or a portable speaker using Bluetooth in case you are bored with the radio. Apart from that, hot tubs also have adjustable LED lights that do not just add to the mood but also helps with Chromotherapy.
Controls
Wouldn’t it just be a nightmare if you had to get out of the hot tub every time you wanted to adjust the temperature, change the music, or the flow? This is why it is important you get a hot tub where the controls are within your reach as you relax in the tub. Some hot tubs even let you control the flow, music, lighting, etc. using your smartphone. But keep in mind, these models will cost you well over $2000.
Conclusion
Who knew we’d be spending so much time at home in 2022 and thus why not make your home the most comfortable place. And one thing that personifies comfort at home is a hot tub. Our aim is to help you pick the best 2-person hot tub, one that fits both your needs and budget.
