The full picture
The Miami is the small, affordable end of the SaluSpa line, and it's the right pick when you don't need six seats or want the lowest cost of entry. A 71-inch round tub with 120 AirJets, it comfortably fits two adults (three or four if cozy), heats to 104°F, and sets up the same easy way as its bigger siblings. Its smaller water volume actually heats a bit faster and costs less to run than the 6-person models. It's air-jet only and basic on features, but as a couple's soak or a first, low-risk try at inflatable spa ownership, it's hard to beat on price.

The in-depth review
The Miami is the small, affordable end of the SaluSpa line, and it's the right pick when you don't need six seats or want the lowest cost of entry.
Small on purpose
It's a 71-inch round tub with 120 AirJets that comfortably fits two adults (three or four if cozy) and heats to 104°F. The smaller water volume is actually an advantage: it heats faster and costs less to run than the big 6-person models, so a couple can warm it up and soak without a huge electric bill or a long wait.
What you give up
It's basic — air jets only, no LED, no app — and it genuinely seats only two comfortably. The small filter clogs quickly and needs frequent changing. None of that is a surprise at this price; it's a straightforward, no-frills spa.

Frequently asked questions
How many people fit in the Miami?
Comfortably two adults, or three to four if you don’t mind being cozy. It’s the small model in the line — for groups, step up to a 4–6 person SaluSpa.
Does the smaller size heat faster?
Yes — with less water it reaches temperature and recovers a bit quicker than the 6-person tubs, and it costs less to run. That’s a real perk if it’s mostly for one or two people.
Is it air jets or water jets?
120 AirJets (air bubbles) only — a gentle, all-over fizzy massage, not the targeted pressure of a HydroJet model.
Can two people comfortably use it?
Yes — it’s effectively a couple’s spa, which is exactly its sweet spot. Four is possible for a short soak but tight.
What maintenance does it need?
Keep chlorine/bromine and pH balanced and change the cartridge filter often — small tubs foul filters quickly. A cover and good chemistry keep it simple.
Is it good for a first hot tub?
Very — it’s the lowest-risk, lowest-cost way to try inflatable-spa ownership. If you love it and want more room or features, you can always size up later.
