[CraigVmax]

looking at tubs (again)

the question is... should i go for 4 seats where when its just me/me & wife I can recline or go for the "six seater" which is round but no recliner, anyone tried both>?

(I have had a hot tub before and had the recliner so dont want to shoot myself in the foot)

IMO, the recliner is the nicest part of it! Sat outside of an evening with a glass of red, laying back and enjoying it - you can even dip your head under the water slightly so you can't hear the wife telling you to move, it's her turn!

I suppose it's all personal opinion and dependant on the circumstances that you would use it in. If you are going to be spending more time in it with friends after a BBQ etc, get more seats, but if it's just going to be you and the wife/family, get the smaller one.

yep I know just what u mean actually. I was also considering a cedar wooden tub which looks lovely but i think the upright seating thing might get annoying.

I would spend some time researching your brand. I've personally not heard of the ones described above. They are both low end single pump systems and dont look particulary big.

I've got a 7ft square tub and they claim it holds 6 adults, but in reality 3 adults is a comfortable figure unless you enjoy lots of footsie and close contact.

yup I know what you mean, they were just examples and size wise im quite limited.

This one looks ok I thought though? Likely just myself and wife using it largely.

Seems a bit better. At least they are listed on here:

Which is a reasonable start!
