How big is a 2-person hot tub?
The middle of this group measures 82 x 65 x 32 in. The smallest footprint is the Cal Spas Aloha PZ-614L at 6′6″ × 2′10″; the largest is the Dimension One Spas Journey at 6′6″ × 6′6″. Measure the spot with room left over for the steps and the cover when it's off. Every seat count and size, side by side, is on the hot tub sizes page.
Full, the typical tub here weighs 2,335 lb (most makers count the tub and its water; some add people). That load sits on the pad, so read the maker's site-prep page before you choose a spot.
Lounger or open seats in a small tub?
42 of these 61 tubs have at least one lounger and 10 have open seating only; 9 don't say. A lounger is a molded seat you lie back in, and it fits one person at a time. Lie back in it at the showroom, dry is fine: if your feet don't reach the end of the footwell, the water lifts you off the seat.
Can a small hot tub plug into a regular outlet?
33 of the 61 tubs here are sold as 120V plug-in models. They run on a household circuit with a smaller heater: Jacuzzi lists 1 to 1.5 kW on 120V against 4 to 5.5 kW on 240V. Compare them on the plug-and-play hot tubs list.
What to check in the showroom
- Sit in every seat, dry is fine. A seat count is how many people fit, not how many are comfortable with legs out.
- Ask for the filled weight and the electrical spec on paper before you plan the pad and the circuit.
- Read the warranty card for the shell, the equipment and the labor terms.
