If you still aren’t sure about whether or not you think it’s worth the purchase, know that there’s a crop of new hot tubs that can ship right to your door and don’t take too long to set up. To guide our selections, we leaned on our own experience owning hot tubs and spas, from basic models to custom setups. We chose hot tubs that range from just under $1,000 for inflatable models to high-end models that nearly mimic showroom-quality tubs.
