Quality Made in Germany: That’s What the Bestway Brand Stands For
The LAY-Z-SPA hot tubs from the German brand Bestway are once again among this year’s best-selling inflatable hot tubs. The wide range of products, combined with the high quality of the hot tubs, is a hit with wellness enthusiasts—and with our editorial team as well. That’s why many of Bestway’s outdoor models consistently rank at the top of our inflatable hot tub tests and reviews for the garden.
However, the range offered by this renowned pool manufacturer is so vast and complex that consumers can easily lose track of what’s available. There are now more than 30 (!) different LAY-Z-SPA models on the market—and new hot tubs are added every year—with six new models already planned for 2023.
Warm up wonderfully in winter, cool off in summer
First things first: Here’s a very important piece of information—as of this year (2022), all Bestway LAY-Z-SPA inflatable hot tubs can be used year-round—including in winter. (Learn more about the technology behind winter-ready outdoor hot tubs here.)
You can recognize the new models by the fact that the letters LAY-Z-SPA are capitalized on the hot tub. This wasn’t the case with the older version (“Lay-Z-Spa”), and not all of those models were winter-ready.
However, Bestway’s best-known model by far is the entry-level LAY-Z-SPA Miami. This inflatable hot tub is available for just a few hundred euros and has been an absolute bestseller for years.
How do the LAY-Z-SPAs differ?
It’s been several years since the very first hot tubs, such as the LAY-Z-SPA Palm Springs, hit the market. This year, 2021, marks exactly 15 years since the first Lay-Z-Spa was launched, as Bestway proudly reports on its blog. Since then, more and more Bestway models have been added.
If the hot tubs weren’t different from one another, it wouldn’t make sense to develop so many different models. But how exactly do Bestway’s hot tubs differ? And what are their specific features?

Air Jets vs. Water Jets: How Bestway Inflatable Hot Tubs Differ
Aside from special features like smart app control or LED light strips, Bestway hot tubs can be divided into 3 groups:
- AirJet: Features air jets that emit preheated air around the edge of the tub to massage the back
- AirJet Plus: These also feature air jets in the center of the pool for a foot massage
- HydroJet: Adjustable water jets that intensify the massage effect
- HydroJet Plus: A small handful of models have both: air jets and water jets
