Pros: 

The 2 Person Cedar Ofuro Tub has been hand crafted using Western Red Cedar, which is highly renowned for its outstanding durability to hold up to all weathers. The Cedar wood is treated with aromatic oils which protect it from decaying. The smart looking, wood lends a neutral appearance which makes this hot tub blend perfectly with most garden decking and fencing.

The 25-inch interior height of the tub provides enough depth to allow you to soak chin deep for a fully rejuvenating soak with your loved one. As no electricity is required to operate the tub, you can fully relax without the sound of pumps or jets operating.

There are three different ways of heating the tub to give you plenty of options;

• Using regular tapped hot water. Thanks to the high quality insulation, the tub can attain a hot water temperature longer than most other hot tubs in its class.
• If you have plenty of wood, you may want to consider using Wood Fired Chofu heaters. Heat-up time is typically between 1-2 hours.
• The most convenient heating option is using an optional electric heating system. This comprises of a 1/8 horsepower pump/filter plus a 1.5 KW digital spa pack.

Cons: 

Unlike regular hot tubs, heating doesn’t come as standard so you need to choose one of the options listed above.

Guarantee: 1-year warranty.

Summary

The classic design of the Ofuro Japanese Soaking Hot Tub impressed us from the start. As the tub comes pre-assembled, getting it ready for use is a breeze. The thick construction of the tub provide excellent heat retaining capacity, which another feather in its cap.

Highly recommend to those looking for a real wood hot tub which provides a bathing experience like no other.
