From the serenity of the tub, you can control the temperature, filter, massage system, bubbles, and even the timer from an app compatible with Apple and Android phones.
You can even get the tub ready for your arrival home and get your partner to leave a crisp, cold wine or tipple of your choice in one of the tub's cup holders.
Happy shoppers have praised the Lay-Z-Spa for its value for money and high-quality features, but mostly for its heat retention 'even on cold evenings'.
Multiple commented on the value of the tub itself, saying 'fantastic price' and 'brilliant bit of kit for the money'.
Others praised the energy-efficient and long-term savings the tub offers, stating, 'This hot tub is far more efficient and cheaper to run' (than other models) as it ' really holds the heat'.
Others have noted it as a 'game changer' and "life enhancer" for its spa features, labelling the bubbles "as brilliant and very powerful"
One shopper noted that the tub "eased aches and pains, improved sleep and communication".
Argos also offer payment options such as Klarna and PayPal to help you split the costs.
This Lay-Z-Spa is an absolute steal in the Argos sale, and with the British summer looming, it's no surprise that garden owners are rushing to snap it up.
Whether you're hosting friends or enjoying some solo time, this hot tub is sure to level up your summer relaxation.

High Court hears company linked to Baroness Michelle Mone must pay back £121m for ‘faulty' PPE
A company linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone should pay back more than £121 million for breaching a Government contract for 25 million surgical gowns during the coronavirus pandemic, the High Court has heard. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is suing PPE Medpro for allegedly breaching a deal for the gowns, with lawyers for the Government telling the court they were 'faulty' because they were not sterile. The company, a consortium led by Baroness Mone's husband, businessman Doug Barrowman, was awarded Government contracts by the former Conservative administration to supply PPE during the pandemic, after she recommended it to ministers. Both have denied wrongdoing. The Government is seeking to recover the costs of the contract, as well as the costs of transporting and storing the items, which amount to an additional £8,648,691. PPE Medpro said it 'categorically denies' breaching the contract, and its lawyers claimed the company has been 'singled out for unfair treatment'. Opening the trial on Wednesday, Paul Stanley KC, for the DHSC, said: 'This case is simply about whether 25 million surgical gowns provided by PPE Medpro were faulty. 'It is, in short, a technical case about detailed legal and industry standards that apply to sterile gowns.' Mr Stanley said in written submissions the 'initial contact with Medpro came through Baroness Mone', with discussions about the contract then going through one of the company's directors, Anthony Page. Baroness Mone remained 'active throughout' the negotiations, Mr Stanley said, with the peer stating Mr Barrowman had 'years of experience in manufacturing, procurement and management of supply chains'. But he told the court Baroness Mone's communications were 'not part of this case', which was 'simply about compliance'. He said: 'The department does not allege anything improper happened, and we are not concerned with any profits made by anybody.' In court documents from May this year, the DHSC said the gowns were delivered to the UK in 72 lots between August and October 2020, with £121,999,219.20 paid to PPE Medpro between July and August that year. The department rejected the gowns in December 2020 and told the company it would have to repay the money, but this has not happened and the gowns remain in storage, unable to be used. In written submissions for trial, Mr Stanley said 99.9999% of the gowns should have been sterile under the terms of the contract, equating to one in a million being unusable. The DHSC claims the contract also specified PPE Medpro had to sterilise the gowns using a 'validated process', attested by CE marking, which indicates a product has met certain medical standards. He said 'none of those things happened', with no validated sterilisation process being followed, and the gowns supplied with invalid CE marking. He continued that 140 gowns were later tested for sterility, with 103 failing. He said: 'Whatever was done to sterilise the gowns had not achieved its purpose, because more than one in a million of them was contaminated when delivered. 'On that basis, DHSC was entitled to reject the gowns, or is entitled to damages, which amount to the full price and storage costs.' In his written submissions, Charles Samek KC, for PPE Medpro, said the 'only plausible reason' for the gowns becoming contaminated was due to 'the transport and storage conditions or events to which the gowns were subject', after they had been delivered to the DHSC. He added the testing did not happen until several months after the gowns were rejected, and the samples selected were not 'representative of the whole population', meaning 'no proper conclusions may be drawn'. He said the DHSC's claim was 'contrived and opportunistic' and PPE Medpro had been 'made the 'fall guy' for a catalogue of failures and errors' by the department. He said: 'It has perhaps been singled out because of the high profiles of those said to be associated with PPE Medpro, and/or because it is perceived to be a supplier with financial resources behind it. 'In reality, an archetypal case of 'buyer's remorse', where DHSC simply seeks to get out of a bargain it wished it never entered into, left, as it is, with over £8 billion of purchased and unused PPE as a result of an untrammelled and uncontrolled buying spree with taxpayers' money.' He also said there was a 'delicious irony' that Baroness Mone was mentioned in the DHSC's written submissions, when she had 'zero relevance to the contractual issues in this case'. Neither Baroness Mone nor Mr Barrowman is due to give evidence in the trial, and Baroness Mone did not attend the first day of the hearing on Wednesday. A PPE Medpro spokesperson said the company 'categorically denies breaching its obligations' and will 'robustly defend' the claim. The trial before Mrs Justice Cockerill is due to last five weeks, with a judgment expected in writing at a later date.

Spending review: Treasury minister Emma Reynolds tells Sky News she is 'not ruling out' tax rises in the autumn
A Treasury minister has refused to rule out tax rises at the budget in the autumn, amid concerns that any global economic instability could mean the government will not have enough money to fund its spending plans. Speaking to Sky's Politics Hub With Ali Fortescue, Emma Reynolds defended how the economy was being handled, but would not say if more revenue might be needed from taxation. Asked repeatedly if she was ruling out tax rises, the minister said: "I'm not ruling it in and I'm not ruling it out. "We have got £9bn of fiscal headroom [money left in the budget], which is significantly more than the Tories had when they were in power, at the end of their time in power. "We've got a growing economy, and we, as the chancellor did say in the [Commons] chamber, the budget in the autumn last year was a once-in-a-generation budget where we had to do some very tough things, and we're not going to have another budget like that in the future." "Now we know - tax rises are coming." 3:43 Fiscal rules are non-negotiable Speaking to Sky's political editor Beth Rigby, the chancellor Rachel Reeves avoided the direct question about potential tax rises, saying: "Before any money goes out the door, we will have a budget in the autumn, and we will show in the round, when the Office for Budget Responsibility update their forecast, how everything is consistent with the fiscal rules that I set out as chancellor last autumn." She added that they "made the tax changes that were necessary last year to fund the spending that I've set out today". 4:28 Ms Reeves has imposed a set of "iron-clad" fiscal rules, which restrict government borrowing in order to ensure economic stability and reduce the UK's national debt, Labour says. These rules mean the amount of money she has available to spend on the day-to-day running of public services is limited to only what the government takes in tax revenue. 'A miniscule margin' But as Paul Johnson from the non-partisan Institute for Fiscal Studies told our presenter Jayne Secker, the chancellor has left herself very little room for manoeuvre. He said: "She set the fiscal rules and she's also meeting them by the most miniscule margin imaginable.

'The Heads of the Valleys road swallowed part of my garden'
John Watkeys used to love an evening cup of tea watching bats fly around his oak tree, but that part of his garden is now gone under one of the UK's most expensive and longest-running road the Heads of the Valleys road officially opens on Thursday, there are no roadworks on it for the first time in 23 years after its £2bn upgrade to almost motorway standard. But for people like John, who has neighboured the A465 for 65 years, he says the stress of fighting to keep his home intact has taken its Minister Eluned Morgan has called the upgrade Wales' biggest project since devolution in 1999, giving valleys communities "the same opportunities" as other areas. The 28-mile (45km) improvement is designed to bring prosperity to one of the UK's most deprived areas and cut journey times between west Wales and the called it the "road from hell" during the roadworks, which started back in 2002, and subsequent congestion, but now all cones have gone and traffic flows while those living closest to the Heads of the Valleys road have welcomed its impact on traffic, they claim they are still fighting with the Welsh government about the new road's impact on their homes. "Nobody is going to be happy with losing part of your garden," said keen gardener John, whose home borders the A465 in Merthyr Tydfil. "I had a beautiful old oak tree, that's gone. I've a soft spot for bats and used to love watch them flying around the oak tree in the evening, they've gone."The road crosses the south Wales coalfields, a national park and twists mightily close to people's homes, especially in Merthyr where the final section of roadworks were grows his own fruit and vegetables but after three years of construction work next to his house he said he has had to "restart the garden from scratch" due to the dirt and dust."I'm left picking up the pieces," said the former microbiologist. "It has been extremely stressful for a lot of years." He said the stress started when after years of reassurances that the new road would not take any of his land, those behind the project changed their mind and wanted to knock down part of his house."Workers said we want to knock down your garage and we need your drive for a working area," claimed John."You can imagine my response, I said you can't knock my garage down as it's an integral part of my house and it includes my utility room which houses my heating and hot water. So they found another way."The Welsh government offered to compulsory purchase the house, in the Cefn Coed area of Merthyr, but John said he declined because of sentimental reasons. "I grew up here, both my parents passed away here and my wife passed away here," John said."This house has a lot of memories and at my age, the thought of packing of everything up and moving was too much."It is not the first time the Heads of the Valley road has impacted John as his family were forced to leave his first home, which was a few metres away, in the early 1960s when the original Swansea to Herefordshire road was who has received interim compensation from the Welsh government for the loss of his garden but is awaiting a full settlement, is adamant "it's not over"."The peace and quiet is nice now and just being able to get on with my life is lovely but I've a few more fights with Welsh government to come," he is not the only one. Just over the road, Daryl Wilkins is also writing to the Welsh government and politicians claiming the vibrations from piling behind his house has led to cracks throughout his home. "I've lived here for almost 45 years and never had any problems until construction started on the Heads of the Valleys," said the 79-year-old former fish and chip van owner."I had a survey on the house before work started and there were no cracks. Now my house has cracks on outside and inside walls and that's because of vibrations from piling going on outside my house."Daryl said contractors replaced nine window panes as a "goodwill gesture" after they were damaged, but claims he had pay more than £1000 on window frames."The piling lasted for at least six months," said Daryl. "The house used to shake, it was terrible."My great-granddaughter loved going on our trampoline but she wouldn't come here because of the noise from the piling."Now I've got damage throughout the house, it will take a thousands of pounds to repair. I don't want compensation, I just want my house repaired."Compensation payments are currently subject to ongoing discussions between the Welsh government, Future Valleys consortium behind the final £1bn stretch of the road, and individuals affected by the scheme. Almost 70 structures - including more than 40 new bridges and a dozen new junctions - have been built across the upgraded route between Abergavenny in Monmouthshire and Hirwaun in Rhondda Cynon planted 285,000 trees to mitigate its significant environmental impact and creatures including bats, dormice and great crested newts have also been moved."They've rightly considered the effects on the environment and local wildlife and spent money putting that right but not done the same with affected people," said Daryl's daughter Julie."They've spent billions on a road which was much-needed, but not put right the damage they've caused this house - and you're talking thousands of pounds."Mum and dad aren't in great health and this stress doesn't help. I just wonder what those dignitaries opening this road would feel if this happened to their parents." Merthyr councillor Lisa Mytton's ward was split in two when a road bridge over the Heads of the Valleys was knocked down for the road below to be said her phone had been "red hot morning, noon and night" for best part of five years."It has been headache the last few years supporting residents with their concerns," said Mytton."Residents found the disruption really heavy at some points when they were drilling into the rock face and some felt movement in their house so they felt weary and scared."It's a huge relief and boost that it's all done but authorities now need to work together to capitalise on this new road." John and Daryl said they accepted the Heads of the Valleys was to be upgraded and both admit the road will have a positive impact on the south Wales valleys, but want those in power to hear their stories."What I'd say to them is what we have to do is to make sure that valleys communities have the same opportunities as other areas to get quality and skilled jobs locally," said First Minister Eluned Morgan."That's what this road does for us. This is the biggest project in the history of devolution and it's going to open up the valleys communities to new jobs."Now Welsh government will help to develop a vision for valleys communities built around economic development and this road is central to that."Transport secretary Ken Skates said he thanked residents "for their patience during the construction period" and that the Welsh government continued to "work with them to resolve any issues".
