In this research, we analyzed all the hot tubs made by Coleman Spas and checked whether the Coleman clients are satisfied with the service. Turns out, not always.
The company now produces several small hot tubs for 2-4 people and two large models for 5-7 people. The most popular model in Canada right now is the Miami one. It is available in two options – the base model and a hot tub with an increased number of jets.

Coleman Spas You’ll Love
People who already use Coleman’s hot tubs consider the manufacturer to be one of the best on the Canadian market for its customer service and honesty.
The technical equipment in each model is presented in an easy to set up manner so that you can enjoy your home spa without hassle.
- Before buying. The manufacturer explicitly indicates both the average and maximum capacity for each model.
For example, regarding one of the most popular 71 x 71 x 26 (L x W x H) inches Miami hot tub, if you sit next to each other, then its capacity is 4 people. But if you want to stretch your legs to full height, then this model is better for 2 people.
- Installation. You don’t need to have additional pumps or other tools. To inflate a new jacuzzi in a few minutes you need to connect a hose to the pump that comes with your hot tub.
Advice: This may seem obvious, but from our experience, we recommend that you read the instructions carefully before installing it. It will prevent leaks or other troubles (if you forget to fit one of the gaskets on the hose, for example). You will receive complete instructions with your jacuzzi. Additionally, Coleman has created a step-by-step video tutorial.
- Usage. All Coleman hot tubs have an external heater (only some manufacturers use this solution). It allows you to heat the water and use the jets simultaneously.
Let’s take a closer look and compare the technical characteristics of all Coleman Spas models.
4-person Coleman Spa models
Technologically, all these models are made based on one basic model, however, each of them has characteristics that make it more suitable for different purposes.
Like all modern inflatable hot tubs in Canada, the Coleman models are made of a very durable 3-layer material. A person can easily sit on the back of this jacuzzi.
As we mentioned above, these hot tubs will be spacious and roomy for 2 people but 4 people also can sit next to each other comfortably. In our opinion, the square Hawaii model is roomier and will be enough for at least 3 people.

| #1 in “Basic inflatable hot tubs 2020.” This model is suitable for those who “do not want to spend money and time installing a regular hot tub for $ 10,000”. Even the basic (black) model is equipped with enough jets to give you a quality massage. Consumers informed us during the interviews that they relieved pain and discomfort thanks to this jacuzzi. Also, this model is recommended by those who use different hot tubs for years. A person who had tested jacuzzis (regular and inflatable) said: “the small portable hot tub is a great purchase.” Who is this hot tub not suitable for? — families of more than 5 people, and party lovers. This model is better suited for cozy and relaxing gatherings with close family and friends. Buyers stated that 2 people can stretch comfortably as possible, but up to 4 people can easily fit in it too. “...we can seat 3 people in the spa comfortably.” Lana “Easy setup. Water was hot in less than 24hrs” Cindy |

| #1 in “Medium party hot tubs” Customers recommend this model for those who want a compact and roomy hot tub at the same time. The SaluSpa Hawaii is more spacious than similar round hot tubs. In this hot tub, you can easily relax in the evening with your friends. If desired, you can also purchase LED lights for cozy backyard parties. The Hawaii model allows you to try an inexpensive hot tub. “I highly recommend this hot tub for beginners so that they can have an inexpensive chance to see if this hot tub is for them or not. It is better to try this one instead of spending a lot of money on another one and finding out that you are not able to return it after a year or so.” - Gwyn “There are no jets like those that give you a powerful massage in expensive models, however, you wouldn’t find out as the bubble massage feature is brilliant.” - Debra “We LOVE this inflatable hot tub. Honestly, it is such a great purchase. We are moving soon and didn’t want to spend more time on a permanent hot tub that would end up being left behind so we thought we would give this a try so we would have it for the summer. It has been great! Perfect size for 2, heats up and holds the temperature pretty well (starts at 103 and after running bubbles, for 20 mins the temp drops to 101-100 which is fine. The bubbles are surprisingly strong and the bottom is really comfy. We weren’t sure how this tub was going to lasand tht but so far it’s been used almost every day and it’s fantastic!! We even drop the temp to 90 on hot days and just stretch out to cool off. Totally recommended!" - Tina |

SaluSpa Havana | #1 in “3-person inflatable hot tubs” This compact model is equipped with additional remote control features along with powerful jets and solid walls. This makes the control of the pump, jets, and heater even more convenient. The hot tub is easy to assemble and disassemble. You can inflate and deflate it an unlimited number of times. You can move it around without assistance. So, you can change its location frequently. Due to it being lightweight and compact, it will be easy to place in your yard, garage, or indoors. Since you store it in a small package, it takes up little space and is convenient to store. “This is the second time that I’ve bought an inflatable spa, and I have to admit that I love this one over my first one. The jets are very powerful to the point where they can push you to a side with their pressure. I struggle with back problems and the jets provide a strong and relaxing massage. I love the remote control too. I advise that you purchase some Bromine tablets along with a floater as the tablets alone are not very effective.” - Gretchen |

SaluSpa Tahiti | #1 in “Modern inflatable hot tubs” It is the newest model from the Coleman range. And a lot of youngsters fell in love with it instantly. It has everything for a great evening with your friends (6 + 1 LED lights pack) and to relax after work. The manufacturer has left out unnecessary features that are usually just marketing gimmicks. The model is equipped with a Chem Connect dispenser for stable and evenly dispersed levels of chlorine. You can always leave it on, and it will maintain the temperature you need for several days. All you have to do is remove the cover and enjoy a warm air bubble massage without wasting time on heating. Also, you can set the temperature in advance. For example, it can heat the water in advance and you can soak in it right after work. Like any other Coleman model, this hot tub is designed to make you feel comfortable (soft and elastic interior) and enjoy the massage. The jets are also capable of high-quality massage, and you can relieve muscle pain or relieve tension after a tiring working day. “... Delivery was quick! The written directions that come with it are not detailed enough and steps are missing but we figured it out. It's everything we hoped for and more! It goes up to 104 degrees and baby it's HOT which we love! My husband, 20 yo daughters, and I have used it every day so far! The hot tub helped to boost us up on the cool parent’s scale. LOL” - Deborah |
All models come with an AirJet system, supplied with two replaceable filter cartridges, one reinforced cover with safety lock clips, and a repair kit. Hot tubs also have an integrated water filtration system.
6-person Coleman Spa model — best safety mode in “inflatable hot tubs 2021”
SaluSpa AirJet
(green)
Honolulu
(gray rattan)
You may be surprised, but it was reported that some hot tubs like those from the Aleko brand shocked people in 2020.
Coleman, on the other hand, takes care of your safety and supplies a pre-tested pump, pre-tested hot tub, and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) that trips at 6mA.
Also, you don’t have to worry about any leaks — these hot tubs are made of durable materials and are also pressure tested before being sent to you.
Coleman primarily focuses on safety, so you get a Leatheroid pool cover with double safety lock clips and a built-in air chamber for insulation. It is especially useful for those with small children. They usually cannot open these locks by themselves.
Like others, this hot tub inflates in 20 minutes. After that, you can fill it with water, heat the water, and get ready to relax. The heating rate for this model is slightly above average — about 2 degrees per hour — for such a large jacuzzi, this is a good indicator.
Inside the jacuzzi, blocks with jets are located around the perimeter. There are 114 air jets in total and they will give you a relaxing massage. The jets are not very strong but tangible and pleasant. Thanks to the thoughtful placement of the nozzles, you get massage for all the necessary muscle groups and body parts – back, legs, arms, shoulders, and the neck.
Here are some comments from customers who have already bought and tested this model:
7-person Coleman Spa model — limited offer
Coleman (Bestway) Helsinki 7-person hot tub
This model is produced in small batches, so if you happen to find it in stock, you are a lucky buyer.
For this model, the manufacturer chose a non-standard, more natural design.
Helsinki is the most spacious Coleman hot tub. During our research, we tested different hot tubs, and octagonal models are indeed the most spacious.
Compared to the six-person model, Helsinki uses newer components. The chemical balance of that spa is easy to maintain with the dispenser that releases chlorine at a controlled pace.
The pool cover has an aluminum foil coating to keep water extra warm.
Advice: To install a regular hot tub at home, you need to reinforce the floors in the spa room. But there is a simpler solution – you can use the Coleman Helsinki model indoors because this hot tub is both spacious and weighs much less than its stationary counterparts (e.g. 85 lbs Coleman Helsinki VS 630 lbs Hudson Bay Spa). You can put it in the bathroom without any problems. When planning, you only need to know one parameter – how much weight per square foot the floor in this room can support.

Before you turn a Coleman Spa on
If you are choosing Coleman as your first hot tub, here are some practical tips from experienced hot tub customers.
- Along with the purchase of the jacuzzi, you also need to purchase a starter kit with chemicals. Some sellers offer ready-made kits of various compositions and quantities. We have prepared a comprehensive guide to all possible chemicals and have compiled a list of recommended care products and tools. You will also find recommendations on what proportions and what dosages should be used.
Warning! using a hot tub without chemicals can be dangerous to your health.
- The longevity of any model depends on 2 points — its quality and your maintenance. We are working on a hot tub market for many years and know some tips & tricks that will help you extend hot tub life.
- Coleman inflatable hot tubs can be used indoors and outdoors (if the air temperature is above 40 degrees). Choosing the right location will allow you to reduce your energy bills (better thermal insulation), and avoid mould problems. If a hot tub is placed in the wrong area, you may face difficulties in repairing it and even damage floors in the spa room or on the balcony. To protect yourself and your home, and get the best out of your jacuzzi, read our guide to choosing a place for a home spa.

FAQ about Coleman Spas
🏪 Where is it better to buy a Coleman hot tub from?
When buying a hot tub, it is better to choose retailers with a good reputation, which provides an extensive guarantee for items, delivery, and accessories. We recommend using the most comprehensive A-to-Z guarantee from Amazon.
💲What is the price of a Coleman hot tub?
❄️ How to winterize a Coleman inflatable hot tub?
Warning! It is prohibited to use the Coleman inflatable hot tubs outdoors if the air temperature is below 40 degrees. If you want to have a hot tub that is more energy-efficient in autumn and spring, keep it warm for longer, and use less energy, then choose the models that received more than 50% positive reviews in the “energy efficient hot tubs” category (for example, Hawaii)
🛀 How long does it take for a Coleman hot tub to heat up?
Usually, Coleman hot tubs heat up to 2 degrees per hour. The rate at which the hot tub heats the water depends on how warm the water is in your mains supply. For example, if the water temperature is initially 68 degrees and you want to heat it to 100 degrees, then your jacuzzi will heat the water in half a day or overnight. You can also use a timer (which is available in modern models such as Hawana), and the jacuzzi will heat the water itself.
🔸 What temperature should I keep my Coleman hot tub when it is not in use?
For your hot tub to be ready for use at any time, we recommend keeping the temperature in it 5-7 degrees below the desired one. As a rule, it is better to set the temperature around 90-95 degrees.
💧 Can you add boiling water to a Coleman inflatable hot tub?
It is unsafe because it can damage the hot tub parts. If you still want to add the heated water to the jacuzzi, then add warm water (up to 100 degrees). You can also set the temperature on the timer in advance so the jacuzzi can heat the water to the desired temperature.
⏰ Is it cheaper to leave the Coleman inflatable hot tub on all the time?
It depends on the frequency of use of the jacuzzi and the air temperature. If you use the jacuzzi every few weeks, there is no point in keeping it warm all the time. But if you often soak in the jacuzzi, then it is more profitable to set the temperature 5-7 degrees below the desired one and just warm it up a little before use. In this case, minimum heating will be more energy-efficient.
