We bought a brand new hot tub. We spent a few weeks researching and dry testing them out. We are waiting its arrival. which should be with in the week. I can't wait. I want it now. there are so many out brands, styles and sizes out there. I am curious about a few things.
1. Do you have a lounger in your hot tub and do you like it?
2. how big is your hot tub and is it roomy enough?
3. how many people normally use your hot tub? adults and children.

We have a Calspa...
We have a lounger, and it's my least favorite spot. The jets don't hit me right, and it feels like you're "floating away" in that spot.
We have a six seater. It is roomy enough...even though DH is 6'7" and sometimes his long legs stretch out and bump the rest of us. LOL
We usually have 2 adults, 2 children, but one "child" is a preteen and as tall as me.

We have a hot springs. I too hate the lounger for the same reasons as PP.
We have a six person spa
Usually its just dh, our two year old and I but we've had up to four adults without feeling too crowded.

We have an AquaQuip, 6 seater, has a lounge seat and central "volcano" jets. Some of us like the lounge seat, others don't. It's not my favorite, but I do use it occasionally. Usually we have 2 or 3 people in at a time, but all 6 members of the family use it several times a week.

Love our hot tub - don't sit in the lounger for same reason as previous posters. We also don't really use the jets - we prefer to just soak and relax.
Ours has the lounger and 4 seats so holds 6 adults comfortable enough but is perfect with 4 or less.
I recommend you invest in the easy lift for your lid. Once they get older they tend to retain water and get super heavy.

We do not have a lounger as I don't like them. Our hot tub is six- seater and we usually have two to four people in it although I think there were 10 at one time during a party!
My DH and I use it alone after skiing or in the evenings. The two kids will sometimes go in with us but not very often. They often go in with their friends.

We have a Viking six person tub. Only DH and I use it. We built a 3 season room for it. I use the lounger. I like it, but I do fought the float away feeling on occasion. It it worse if the water is a bit high..

Ours is an older tub, about 10 years or so and the manufacturer was bought out a few years back. It came with the house we recently bought and I wasn't sure how much we would use it. It turns out that we love it and use it at least 3 or 4 times a week. Technically it seats 8 but we rarely have more than the two of us. Ours is in a really nice screened in-room which keeps the bugs out and makes it a little more private. A soak in the tub has become one of my favourite parts of the day. We thought we were going to have to replace it recently and we checked out a few new ones. I thought I wanted a lounger but after trying them, I changed my mind for a number of reasons - it seemed too floaty, it was awkward to get into and most importantly, it seemed like it would be tricky to have a drink while in the lounger.  |

We had a MasterSpa Therapy Spa at our last house. I thought I would love the lounger, but neither of us used it because we were too short. I think it's really only comfortable if you are 5'8" or taller.
I believe ours was considered a 4 person spa although it was rather large but each seat was very unique and sort of enclosed so it wasn't like you could/would sit next to someone. It was really more of a therapy spa than a party hot tub.
We were the only ones to use the hot tub unless DH's best friend was visiting.
And not that you asked this question, but the waterfall features? A big waste. But the foot jets? OMG, get as many of those as you can.

1. Do you have a lounger in your hot tub and do you like it?
No I specifically chose one without the lounger. A friend had one with 2 loungers and it took up so much room. I wanted one that could fit more people. Mine has 2 "thrones" instead, plus a bench seat on the other 3 sides.
2. how big is your hot tub and is it roomy enough?
3. how many people normally use your hot tub? adults and children.
No idea how big is it, but it can easily seat 8 people.
