Lay-Z-Spa Monaco Reviews

Like all the inflatable spas in the series, Monaco is designed to provide a luxurious hydrotherapy experience that you can easily move around your garden.

Product overview

The Lay-Z Spa Monaco comes with a host of features, including an integrated water filtration system and rapid heating up to 40 degrees centigrade. You get a Lay-Z Massage System (LZMS) with directional air jet massage, which you can direct towards your back or any other part of your body to relieve tension and stress. There are also specially angled seats that allow several people to sit comfortably in the tub at once. The LZMS, therefore, serves as both a recreational and therapeutic spa for families or groups of friends who come to relax and de-stress.

There is a built-in hard water treatment system which means that you never have to use chemicals with this inflatable spa, and the jets of the LZMS are powered by energy-efficient, long-lasting Lay-Z-Spa filter pumps. You also get a fully insulated tub and fitted top cover as standard on this hot tub.

Product features

Below are some of the features of Lay z spa Monaco:

1. AirJet Massage System

The directional air jet massage system delivers an invigorating hydrotherapy massage that helps relieve the tension, aches and pains of your muscles.

2. Insulated tub

Lay-Z-Spa Monaco has an insulated tub which means that you can enjoy the benefits of a hot spa even in colder weather. This makes Lay-Z-Spa Monaco perfect for winter relaxation while still enjoying soothing bubbles and warmth.

3. Rapid heating up to 40 degrees celsius 

Unlike most other inflatable spas, Lay-z-Spa Monaco heats up quickly to 40 degrees centigrade, ensuring that you are soon relaxing in warm milky water. Its insulated cover provides efficient insulation against heat loss. This means lower running costs as it requires less energy to maintain the desired temperature.

4. Water filtration system

Lay-Z-Spa Monaco comes with a built-in water filtration system designed to keep your spa water clean and fresh all the time. The cartridge filter removes particles as small as two microns, allowing you full freedom from chlorine and other chemicals while the filter pump works quietly in the background.

5. The Lay-Z-Massage system (LZMS)

This set of jet nozzles situated around the tub disperses a fine mist of bubbles which can be directed to different parts of your body for a variety of therapeutic effects. The LZMS also adds another dimension to your spa experience with its invigorating water massage jets. Unexpected delights abound from sitting in a bubble bath while feeling the gentle, soothing spray on every part of your body. Eight different modes are allowing you to experiment and find one best suited to your needs or mood. Or simply opt for the ‘allrounder’ mode if you want to try them all out. You can even enjoy the relaxation of a bubble bath while being gently massaged by the softer water jets.

6. Blow uptime

It takes about half an hour to inflate your Lay z spa Monaco hot tub, which you can do using either a hand pump or via the electrical blow-up option. Once inflated, you simply fill it with water and then plug in its filtration system for a quick start-up of heating before you get into bubbly bliss!

Setting up Lay-Z-Spa Monaco

For the setup of your Lay z spa Monaco hot tub, you need the following accessories:

• A garden hose and a means to attach it to a water tap or hose port.
•  A filter cartridge, which is inserted into the filter pump and connected via the supplied hose. 
• The electrical cord for powering up your system. 
• An inflation hose provides an airtight connection between the inflatable spa and the included external air blower/air pump. This is required as part of the standard installation process that inflates your Lay-Z-Spa inflatable hot tub.

These items may be omitted if not needed depending on those already available in your home or those you already possess from previous use. For example, you do not really need to buy another garden hose if you already have one, while the electrical cord does not need to be purchased separately if there is already an electric outlet in your garden.

The Lay Z-Spa Monaco directions are enclosed with each purchase, so it’s easy to follow along.

Lay-Z-Spa noise level

Lay Z Spa Monaco makes virtually no noise. Once the water is heated, your Lay-Z Spa Monaco can be maintained at a temperature of up to 104 degrees and still remain as quiet as a mouse. Your hot tub will only emit the sound of running water and its gentle bubbles.

What buyers like about this product?

1. Ease of cleaning

 Its compact design makes cleaning the hot tub quick and easy. Simply remove the filter cartridge, clean it with fresh water, dry it off and place it back in its slot before reattaching to your Lay-Z Spa Monaco inflatable hot tub. You can opt for an additional filter replacement if you feel this is needed more frequently than once a year.

The smooth slatted floor also means that any debris on your feet simply falls into the water, allowing easy removal later. 

2. Indoor-outdoor use 

Lay Z Spa Monaco is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, making changing between locations easily possible. This is especially useful as part of a home entertainment centre where you may wish to move from warm bubbles indoors to a cool shower outdoors on a summer’s evening.

This is easy with the combination of the wheeled cover and inflatable base. In addition, you can also add to your fun by including a radio for playing music while enjoying either hot or cold bubbles in the open air. When going from inside to outside, you will need to empty any water into a drain or container, deflate it and have it ready for use again when going back indoors.

The portability of this particular model means that you can take it along with you wherever you go, providing exercise equipment at home while still allowing relaxation in hotel rooms when travelling. The inflatable design makes storage effortless since there is no wall installation required, nor any set-up time needed to store it.

3. Cost

When you compare the cost of the Lay-Z-Spa Monaco inflatable hot tub with other types on the market, you will see that this particular model is excellent value for money. It has a large capacity and comes in many fun colours while still being easy to transport and store away when not in use.  All things considered, we think it’s one of the best available for usage both indoors and outdoors.

4. The quality material

The material used in its construction is double layered, making it strong and durable.

5. Attractive appearance

Lay Z Spa Monaco comes with an attractive blue finish that is bright and cheery. Shiny silver jets are easy to operate for soothing relief of tired muscles, while the capacity of 6-8 adults makes it perfect for entertaining friends in your backyard.  It is rectangular in shape, which means that with a quick turn of the jets, you can turn it into a pool.

6. Warranty and customer support

Lay Z Spa Monaco comes with a two-year warranty. An optional extended warranty is available for users who wish to extend the protection of this product over its lifetime.

To make use of any warranty or support offered, you will need to follow the instructions provided within the package, including contact information and an address where reports can be sent in case some questions or issues need resolving immediately.

Cleaning tips for your Lay-Z-Spa Monaco

The following are the steps to follow when cleaning your hot tub:

1. Use a brush to clean the sidewalls of your hot tub.
2. Remove any loose dirt on the filter cartridge with water and soap.
3. Rinse off all soap residues by adding freshwater into this area, then use an air blower to dry it out.
4. Use a sponge or soft bristle brush to wash down inside rim, floor and anywhere else you can reach using warm soapy water mixed with detergent for best results
5. Ensure all openings are properly sealed before refilling your spa ready for use again!

You must follow these instructions carefully since leaving dirt or soap residue on the filter will result in clogging and possible damage later! Following these instructions will keep your Lay Z Spa Monaco working in optimal condition for years to come.

Lay-Z-Spa Monaco rating

1. Comfortableness 4/5

The inflatable design of this hot tub does not offer much in the way of support, however, since it is flexible enough to contour to your body. It is easy to enter and exit, making getting into or out of the tub fast and easy. The sides are near vertical, making sitting upright comfortable for most people with an average height. One thing that would have made this product even better would have been adding armrests so you can sit back comfortably without having to lean against the inflated walls!

2. Material 4/5

Both the inside and outside of Lay Z Spa Monaco are made from vinyl, which is highly resistant to punctures, tearing or sagging, which easily holds up under regular use. This particular model has rubberised grips on the inside that keep you from slipping while giving you traction to sit up straight comfortably. While it does not offer much in terms of support, the inflated walls do curvature your body more than what would be expected for an inflatable spa making this one of the more comfortable models available today.

3. Ease of storage 5/5

The first thing you will notice about Lay-Z-Spa Monaco is how easy it is to set up and takedown. This hot tub is perfect for transporting since it comes with a carrying bag, so moving around is never an issue. Small enough to fit into most cars, it’s also lightweight, which means two people can carry it wherever you need to go without requiring any help. Another benefit of inflating this spa is that there are no bulky components, so it’s easy to fold up and store away when not in use.

4. Water capacity 5/5

Even though the Lay Z Spa Monaco can fit up to 8 people, you will find that getting into and out of this unit takes some planning, thanks to its large size. However, once full of water (which requires no plumbing), this model can hold approximately 220 gallons, making it perfect for comfortably fitting two adults.

6. Jet power 4/5

Lay Z Spa Monaco features 48 bubble jets that can be adjusted easily with a rotating knob at the unit’s base. With more than enough jets available for your needs, you can sit back and relax, knowing that you won’t lack any pressure at any time. The only downside with this model is that there are no built-in water treatment systems, although it is possible to purchase those as an add on later.

7. Control panel 5/5

Lay-Z-Spa Monaco comes with an easy to use control panel that gives users the ability to control all major functions you would need. You can adjust the water temperature easily up to a maximum of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The massage power has six different options, which helps give your muscles a great soothing experience. Finally, there is a “quiet” button and timer feature that makes sure that after each session, your spa will automatically turn off and deflate!

8. Price 4/5

This hot tub might not look like much from the outside, but price-wise, it is one of the best models available today. Easy enough for anyone to use and maintain, you will find that getting a Lay-Z-Spa Monaco is an excellent choice if you’re looking for something that looks great and functions well.

9. Winter Usage 4/5

While this hot tub might not be the best option for outdoor use during Winter, it is perfect for indoor usage! The durable vinyl outside makes it easy to set up this spa in your home or basement, where you can relax and unwind with ease.

10. Customer service 4/5

The one thing that Lay Z Spa Monaco lacks in customer service. While they do have a good number of happy customers who rave about how great their hot tub is, there are just as many people who complain that their products are shipped with bad parts or took longer than promised. A closer look into the company reveals that many of these complaints can be traced back to poor communication between themselves and their customers, which leads buyers to believe something wrong with the product when , which is not. This is why you should always check your hot tub for any damages before filling it with water but if there are any, contact Lay-Z-Spa right away.

11. Warranty 5/5

The one thing that sets this company apart from its competitors is their great warranty on all new products. You will get a full year of coverage, which means if anything happens to your spa during that time, they will send out replacement parts or even repair them for you free of charge. While there are some limitations due to how the product was used (for example, leaving the cover open when the sun hits it while it’s inflated), generally speaking, if something goes wrong, you can expect help in fixing everything quickly and easily.

FQA

1. How much does it weigh when it’s filled?

The Lay-Z Spa Monaco weighs in at around 1490kg when full. While this isn’t too bad, you will need to consider that when deciding where you want to place your spa. If you’re tight on space, then this is something to be aware of!

2. Are these hot tubs easy for first-time users?

When it comes down to it, any technically savvy person can understand the basics of operating a hot tub. Still, first-timers might find themselves a bit confused with all of the buttons and levers on the control panel. Overall though, there should be no problem getting used to using one if you have ever operated an air mattress or inflatable pool before!

3. Can the filtration system be repaired?

Anytime you have an electrical appliance running, there is always a chance for something to go wrong, and the same goes for the Lay-Z Spa Monaco! If you do happen to need help with repairing your filtration system down the road, don’t hesitate to contact them – their customer service department will more than likely handle all of it for you free of charge.

4. Is there any special maintenance needed?

Even if this spa was used daily all year round as most people do, minimal upkeep is required thanks to its durable vinyl construction. A weekly scrub with a soft brush and some mild soap should keep everything clean and hygienic. If you don’t want to spend all of your time cleaning the spa, this is a great option but still want it to look as good as new overtime.

5. Are there any tools or equipment needed?

Just about everything that comes with the Lay-Z Spa Monaco is included in the purchase price, so you won’t need to buy anything extra. The only thing you might want to pick up for this product is a second filter cartridge since a single one doesn’t last too long. This way, you can alternate between them and always have a clean, refreshing hot tub on hand!

6. Is the warranty worth using?

The warranty on these products is quite good by industry standards, making buying from Lay-Z-Spa a great idea. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that the warranty doesn’t cover any damages caused by improper use or something beyond their control. If anything happens, contacting Lay-Z Spa should be your first course of action before trying to fix things yourself!

7. What kind of controls are there?

There are several options for controlling your Lay-Z Spa Monaco, including an easy to use rocker switch and inverter technology (just like with other electronic devices). These make operating everything much easier than using switches on the side of the wall since you won’t have to leave the water to turn it off or on!

8. Can kids operate these hot tubs?

The whole point about the Lay-Z Spa Monaco is that anyone can use it with limited effort, including children. However, there’s no denying the fact that kids will more likely than not make a mess of things! To control this, you should make sure to put the spa on a flat surface (such as your patio) and place all of the controls out of reach, like on an upper shelf or table.

Product pros

• Affordable price tag
• Good quality construction
• A large number of different settings
• Easy to replace parts if needed
• Good customer service

Product cons

• Water level sensors might not be as accurate as they should be
• Not the strongest filtration system out there
• It doesn’t hold a steady temperature very well
• The Control panel is a little crowded with buttons and levers

Our honest review

Lay-Z Spa Monaco is a great product for anyone that wants to enjoy their private hot tub at home without spending too much money. Although this isn’t the best inflatable spa out there, it gets the job done well enough that you won’t be looking for an excuse to take a dip in your new purchase!

At first glance, La- Z-Spa Monaco looks beautiful with its modern design and dark blue colour scheme. Despite being made from vinyl material, it feels very durable yet comfortable to hold on to. It shouldn’t be overlooked if you ever plan on carrying it around or travelling with it. There are plenty of different control options available, including rocker switches, digital buttons, and even an inverter! With so many different ways to switch it on, you’ll be able to set the spa up in seconds without having to get out of the water.

As far as heating goes, this product isn’t going to keep your water at 100 degrees no matter how powerful its heating system is. However, it should be able to maintain a consistent temperature for you, which is good enough for casual use without having to wait around too long. The Lay-Z Spa Monaco also does an amazing job circulating the water throughout its body so that everyone gets equal heat without waiting too much time.

Although there are quite a few buttons on this product, they all work smoothly and can be navigated with ease (even while you’re soaking in warm water) There’s no denying that these accessories are made to last since they seem like they could take some serious damage before malfunctioning completely. We highly recommend this product.
