The Toronto is the Carrara's bigger brother: a 190 cm round foam-wall tub sold for 5 to 7 people, with 180 air jets, the heater in the wall, a wifi app and a foot massager. It has only eight reviews so far, all at 5 out of 5, so give that score time.

Lay-Z-Spa Toronto: common questions

How many people fit in the Lay-Z-Spa Toronto?
Lay-Z-Spa sells it for up to 7 people. It measures 190 cm across, 70 cm high on the outside, and the walls take up part of that. Makers count seats generously, so plan on fewer adults for real comfort.
Does the Lay-Z-Spa Toronto have water jets?
No. It has 180 air bubble jets only. They feel relaxing but do not massage like water jets do.
Can I plug the Lay-Z-Spa Toronto into a normal socket?
Tubs like this run from a 13 A socket. Use a weatherproof outdoor socket with RCD protection and no extension lead. On many inflatables the heater and the bubbles cannot run at the same time.
What guarantee comes with the Lay-Z-Spa Toronto?
Up to 2 years from the maker. Guarantees on hot tubs often split between the liner and the pump, so check the terms.
How much does the Lay-Z-Spa Toronto cost?
The last price we saw was £700, about £100 per seat. Hot tub prices climb before summer and drop around Black Friday, and the retailer shows the current price.
