How we do it

We are experienced hot-tub users and enthusiasts. Having gone through the sometimes complicated process of choosing a wood-fired spa, we’re now sharing our best ideas based on our expertise and experience to help you make a well-informed decision.

We take all the information different brands make available on their websites, Facebook or Instagram profiles and summarise everything into bite-sized reports as objectively as we can. We weigh the pros and cons with a practical attitude onboard – not just following whims or fashions. We closely follow all the players in the wood-fired hot tub market, going as far as setting up the necessary notifications which prompt us to notice changes as they are published and let you know about them. Our website always shows the date of the latest update.

We fact-check the information provided through our mystery shopper program: we periodically check, for instance, whether a ‘1-week delivery’ is truly a 1-week delivery, and not ‘subject to availability, could take 3-4 weeks, actually’.

Word of mouth still counts for a great deal. We have chosen to collect genuine clients’ feedback ratings from the most trusted platforms and collate these reviews in one place. Results from Trustpilot, Google and Facebook show the general customer satisfaction scores of the brands you might consider.

We aim to summarise each brand’s strengths and weaknesses, and we try to do that in layman’s terms focusing on what’s important to different users. We will tell you which models are the most luxurious, which provide the top value for money, or which one is simply the best money saver. We take customer service seriously, and we rate the different producers’ effort in that regard, too.

If you want to make a better-informed decision when buying a wood-fired hot tub, let us be your guide on this journey. We’ll help you get an accurate picture of what’s out there, and if you’re not in a hurry, you can follow our regular updates and see the new deals and the directions that different brands are heading in.

How we filter top brands

There are many new players as well as trusted brands in the hot tub market for you to choose from. Some of them have found their spot on the first Google search page, creating and sharing valuable content, while awareness of others may grow when they run marketing campaigns.

We have selected the key criteria for wood-fired hot tub brands to be added to our discussion. These take into consideration the essential parameters of companies and their products:

  • Years in the market
  • Number of trusted customer reviews
  • Online purchase safety
  • Quality materials in the production processes
  • Functionality that is needed in a modern wood-fired hot tub

All selected TOP brands are

  • check 2+ years in the market
  • check UK VAT registered
  • checkmark 4 Present on Trustpilot or other major consumer review platform

Features of their products include

  • check Stainless steel 304 or higher
  • check Hybrid heating (wood and electric)
  • check Durable exterior cladding
