Cal Spas GEO842L — a 92-inch six-seater with a full lounger, for the household where somebody tall wants to actually stretch out. The extra eight inches over a standard 84-inch shell is the whole point of this model: the lounger fits a six-footer without crowding the other five seats.

Living with it. Five upright seats plus the lounger, so a family of four soaks without anyone's knees touching. It is the one hot tub on our floor that needs a wider-than-standard path — measure the gate and the route from the street before you fall for it — and a level pad rated for the filled weight. Plan a dedicated 240 V circuit; we'll give you the spec sheet for your electrician.
