Our verdict on each

Artsauna

Artsauna suits buyers across Germany and nearby Europe who want hot tubs and saunas in a single catalog at a modest entry point, with prices starting at €949.99. Plug and play setup and a range covering hot tub, sauna and infrared sauna make it a straightforward option, backed by a 2 years warranty.

Lay-Z-Spa

Lay-Z-Spa suits new buyers who want a spa at home without a build project: prices run £379.99 upwards, delivery is included and the setup is plug and play. The trade-off is cover, with a 2 years warranty and a range topping out at 8 people seats, so bigger baths and longer guarantees point elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Artsauna

Pros

  • A single catalog covers hot tub, sauna and infrared sauna, so a hot tub and a sauna can come from the same seller.
  • Prices start at €949.99 and the range is plug and play, so no install crew is needed on top.
  • Seating reaches 8 people, so a group fits without stepping up to an oversized unit.

Cons

  • The warranty runs 2 years, so cover stops early on a product you expect to keep for years.
  • Delivery is not included, so the entry price of €949.99 is the cost before transport.
  • Finance is not offered, so the full €949.99 has to be found up front.

Lay-Z-Spa

Pros

  • Prices run £379.99 upwards with delivery included, so the starting outlay is a single figure to work with.
  • Plug and play setup removes the fixed install that buyers of hard shell tubs have to arrange.
  • Finance is available, so a larger tub can be spread over time rather than paid in one sum.

Cons

  • Warranty of 2 years is short next to the 5 median across brands on the site.
  • The range tops out at 8 people seats, where larger tubs on the site reach 13.
  • There is no sauna in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge, so sauna buyers need Almost Heaven Saunas at sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge.

Who each suits

Artsauna

Who it suits

  • Buyers in Germany, FR and NL who want hot tubs and saunas from one seller.
  • Families or groups who need roomy seating, since capacity reaches 8 people.
  • Anyone who wants plug and play setup instead of a fixed installation.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Lay-Z-Spa buyers after a cold plunge, since hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge lists one and hot tub, sauna and infrared sauna does not.
  • Saunaloft shoppers planning a swim spa, which sits in hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa but not in hot tub, sauna and infrared sauna.
  • Wave Spas Main buyers who want a hot tub only focus, since hot tub and inflatable hot tub stays on hot tubs and inflatable hot tubs.

Lay-Z-Spa

Who it suits

  • New owners who want a tub running from a plug rather than a fixed install, since the setup is plug and play.
  • Buyers weighing a purchase over time, with finance available alongside prices from £379.99 upwards.
  • Households sized for a tub of up to 8 people seats rather than larger group bathing.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone set on a sauna, because Almost Heaven Saunas covers sauna, infrared sauna and cold plunge and the Lay-Z-Spa range of hot tub, inflatable hot tub and cold plunge does not reach it.
  • Buyers who want a swim spa in the same range, since Saunaloft covers hot tub, inflatable hot tub and swim spa.

Questions about each

Artsauna

What does an Artsauna hot tub or sauna cost at entry?+

Prices start at €949.99 for the range, which covers hot tub, sauna and infrared sauna. That is the figure shown at the entry point, and it is an upfront outlay rather than a monthly charge. Plan for transport on top, since delivery is not included in the listed price.

Is delivery included in the price?+

Delivery is not included, so the entry price of €949.99 covers the unit only. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so it is worth asking what transport to your address would add before you order, especially for a full sized whirlpool that has to reach a garden or terrace.

Lay-Z-Spa

How much does a Lay-Z-Spa hot tub cost?+

The Lay-Z-Spa range prices at £379.99 upwards, and that entry figure is where most buyers start. Finance is available, so a larger tub can be spread over time instead of paid in one sum. Delivery is included on the models that carry it, which keeps the starting figure closer to the whole cost.

How many people fit in the biggest Lay-Z-Spa tub?+

The largest tub in the range seats 8 people. That covers a family or a small group of guests, and it is the ceiling for the whole range, not just the top model. Tubs on the site that seat more go as far as 13, so a larger group is looking at another brand.
