We have had our small hot tub since about March and have really enjoyed it. It's the perfect size for just two people. My husband is 6'3" and I'm 5'1". There are two seats, and we both can use either. The seats are like chairs (with arm rests), very comfortable. (Though, only one has the pillow/head rest.) There is a footwell with a spinning jet. There are also two settings for the jets (high and low) and adjustable pressure for the blower.

We wanted a smaller spa, due to the possibility of moving in the future, therefore portability was also an issue. And, there are only two of us, with only me using the spa regularly. So we looked at this spa mainly because of the size. We also looked at a HS Jetsetter. The cost was a big factor in chosing the Solana. And, the manufacturer is the same. What is not included is the longer warranty.

Another crucial point - the main reason for even wanting a hot tub - is for hydrotherapy. I have upper and lower back problems, but primarily in the neck. Therefore, I needed to look for something with jets that would reach that area. Being short also makes a difference. I have found that lowering the water level just above the first jet helps to get the pressure where it needs to go. (When we're both in the tub, it's not as effective, unless I slide down, putting my head further into the water.) I do have to move around a bit to get the jets where I want them on the lower back, but from what I've read, that's not too unusual.

This tub works well for us, and we've really enjoyed the experience thus far. Since we have no children and don't entertain in the hot tub, the size is great. It only holds 130 gallons, and maintanence is fairly easy.
