You do get what you pay for, the materials used for inflatable hot tubs are cheaper and less durable, meaning that a puncture requires a bit of work to fix so that you can carry on relaxing.

There are more options and a more luxurious feel when it comes to sitting inside one of these. If you plan on using it on a regular basis for entertaining friends or for an at home spa for yourself, investing in one of these may suit you more.

When it comes to how practical a hot tub is, the cheaper inflatable option wins. They are portable meaning you can lend it to family and friends and store it away easy if you don’t want to keep it up in your garden. They are the more convenient and less permanent option which is good if you think that the novelty of having a hot tub will wear off over time. The structured hot tub on the other hand is anything but portable and it isn’t easily stored away. The structured hot tub is the permanent option and does require more upkeep when it comes to keeping it clean year round. Depending on the model, these tubs can be more expensive to run.

So overall it depends on how much effort you really want to put into having a hot tub and which one better suits your needs and your lifestyle more.
