Aoxun Inflatable Hot Tub 208X208CM

Is the Aoxun Inflatable Hot Tub 208X208CM worth buying?

Yes, the Aoxun Inflatable Hot Tub 208X208CM is worth buying at £359 if you want a 208 cm round spa that holds 1,000 litres and you are filling it for four adults, not six. The 130 air jets and the 1800W heater cover the basics, and the 0.65m wall height is the same as most tubs a size down.

It is the one to pick over the cheaper Nordivale if the Aoxun name and the 4.0 owner score matter to you, and it goes indoors as happily as outdoors. With no plumbing needed, it sits in a bathroom or conservatory for a long soak after a commute, then deflates into storage when the weather turns.

What does the Aoxun Inflatable Hot Tub cost per litre?

Divide £359 by the 1,000 litres it holds and you pay 36p a litre, which is 11p more than the 25p the Nordivale charges for the same water in the same 208 cm shell. The Arebos Santorini lands at 38p for its 1,000 litres, so the Aoxun sits between the two rather than at the front.

The 1800W heater adds 1 to 2 °C an hour and stops at 40 °C, so a full cold fill reaches bathing temperature the following day rather than the same evening. That is the same warm-up window as the Nordivale, and a touch slower than the Dellonda, which manages 1.5 to 2.5 °C an hour on a bigger 1,200 litre body of water.

What comes in the box with the Aoxun Inflatable Hot Tub?

You get the spa itself, a thermal insulated cover, a ground sheet, four filter cartridges, two filter covers and an inflation hose, so nothing needs buying before the first fill. The cover is the piece that keeps the heat in between sessions and the ground sheet protects whatever sits underneath from 1,000 litres of warm water.

The tub measures 2.08 m across and 65 cm high, and the outer wall is 0.66mm PVC over a reinforced mesh layer, with a smooth 0.65mm white liner inside that wipes clean. It requires assembly, runs on a 220-240V supply through a GFCI safety plug, and deflates far enough to pass through standard doorways.

Where does the Aoxun Inflatable Hot Tub fall short?

It seats four. That is a small return on a 208 cm circle and 1,000 litres, because the identical shell from Nordivale is sold as a four to six seater, so a household of six is better served by the Dellonda and its 1,200 litres or the Arebos Santorini.

Only 24 buyers have rated it so far, at 4.0, which is the thinnest record of the tubs sitting near it on price. There is also no lighting and no app control: you adjust the temperature and the bubbles by hand at the pump, where the Santorini adds a remote-controlled LED strip for £20.99 more.

Aoxun vs Nordivale and Arebos Santorini: which should you buy?

Against the Nordivale at £251.79, the Aoxun costs £107.21 more for the same 208 cm shell, the same 1,000 litres and the same 130 air jets. Take the Aoxun if you want its badge and its 4.0 score, and the Nordivale if the water is the only thing you care about, because it gives you more of it per pound and seats four to six.

Against the Arebos Santorini at £379.99, the Aoxun is £20.99 cheaper and gives up a remote-controlled LED strip and two extra seats for the saving. If you want the largest body of water in this group, the Dellonda holds 1,200 litres and runs 140 jets for £434.98, which is £75.98 above the Aoxun.
