MSpa makes the five rigid-frame hot tubs on this site. They share a lot, so the choice comes down to shape, insulation and whether you want water jets. Here is each model, what the spec sheet says, and what it leaves out. We have not sat in or tested any of these tubs. Everything below comes from the Amazon.co.uk listings and MSpa's own pages, scored with our method.
What every MSpa tub here has
- A rigid frame around a liner, sold for 6 people
- App control over wifi
- 13 A plug and play, confirmed by MSpa
- 120 to 138 air bubble jets
- A heater in a separate control unit, not inside the wall
And what every listing leaves out: a maker's guarantee. We found none on any of the five Amazon.co.uk listings, so each one scores 0 for that part. You still have your rights under the Consumer Rights Act, but ask the seller about cover before you buy.

MSpa does not publish the heater wattage for any of the five, or the exact number of water jets on the Denver and Aero Plus.
MSpa Denver: the one to start with
The Denver gives you the two things that matter most for year-round use, the TempXcel insulation layer and water jets, for £1,230. MSpa lists four sets of hydrotherapy jets on a 1,100 W pump, plus a UVC sanitiser and LED lights. It is round, 182 cm across and holds 970 litres.
It had no buyer rating yet when we checked. Compare it with the cheaper Tuscany on MSpa Denver vs MSpa Tuscany.
MSpa Aero Plus: the big square one
The Aero Plus has the same insulation and pump as the Denver in a 180 cm square shape with 1,150 litres. MSpa describes the motor as quiet. At £1,899 it costs £669 more than the Denver for the square shape and an extra 180 litres. It also has no rating yet.
MSpa Tuscany: the cheapest and best reviewed
The octagonal Tuscany costs £1,000, holds 1,100 litres and has the most air jets of the five (138). It is the only MSpa with more than 20 reviews, at 4.2 stars. It has no water jets, no lights and no extra insulation layer, and its control box comes with a weather cover. If you want a frame tub without spending £1,200 or more, this is it.
MSpa Oslo: the looker
The Oslo has wood-effect ABS panels and LED lights, and buyers gave it 4.7 stars from 12 reviews. At 160 cm square it is compact, and at 118 kg empty it is the heaviest MSpa here. MSpa arranges a two-person delivery. Its score suffers from the price: £1,699 over 6 seats is about £283 a seat, and it has no water jets or insulation layer.
MSpa Tribeca: the small one with a UVC sanitiser
The Tribeca shares the Oslo's 160 cm square size and adds a UVC sanitiser, which helps keep the water clear between changes. It costs £1,395 and has only 2 reviews. Compare the two on MSpa Oslo vs MSpa Tribeca.
Which MSpa should you buy?
| If you want | Pick |

| Wood looks on a small patio | Oslo |
| Small footprint and cleaner water | Tribeca |
How MSpa compares with the rest
None of the MSpa tubs makes our top five overall. Two things hold them back: no published guarantee and a high price per seat. A foam-wall tub such as the Lay-Z-Spa Stockholm costs the same as the Tuscany and has its heater in the wall plus a 2-year guarantee. If you have set your heart on the frame look, see MSpa Denver vs Wave Garda 6 for a frame against foam at a similar price.
Before you order, check your base can take the weight (hot tub base options) and read our rigid-frame guide. All MSpa models: MSpa brand page.
