# Best inflatable hot tubs for UK gardens Source: https://bubbleandsoak.co.uk/best/best-inflatable-hot-tubs Publisher: Bubble and Soak. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://bubbleandsoak.co.uk/how-we-pick Most inflatable hot tubs look alike in the photos, so the choice comes down to a few facts. How many people will sit in it, how many litres you will have to heat, what kind of jets it has and how well the walls and cover hold heat once the weather turns. A tub used most weekends from spring to autumn needs something different from one bought for the odd summer evening. This shortlist covers the main brands sold in the UK and lines each tub up on seats, water capacity, jet count and type, shape and whether the listing mentions app control. Every figure comes from the maker's listing, and where a listing leaves something out, we say so, so you know what to check before you order. ## Products ### 1.
