MSpa B-90 Inflatable Hot Tub Review
The MSpa B-90 inflatable hot tub is one of the highest-quality portable hot tubs you can buy for under $500, comparable in build to models which cost twice that amount.
It’s also the only inflatable hot tub in this price range which is square. This makes it a good choice if you want to tuck it into a corner of your garden, patio, or hot tub room. It also gives you a little more stretching-out space inside the tub, as well as making it easier to fit more people in without anyone feeling cramped.
Apart from its shape, what we really love about this hot tub is just how powerful the bubble jets are. They are easily comparable to a rigid spa costing thousands of dollars. This makes the MSpa B-90 great for hydrotherapy, and excellent for massaging aching muscles after a long tiring day.

Features of the MSpa B-90 Inflatable Hot Tub
The MSpa B-90 measures 62 inches by 62 inches (1.60m square), and is 27 inches (68.5cm) deep when fully inflated. That makes it big enough to fit 2 adults and 2-3 children, or up to 3 adults without it feeling cramped. The hot tub is made of triple-layer laminated PVC, with an I-beam construction in the walls. This makes it extra-sturdy and robust, so it will last year after year after year.
The B-90 also has that powerful 132 air bubble jet system we love, which really aerates the water and gives a wonderful and relaxing massage. Kids especially love this exciting feature, so bank on it being tough to get them out!
The bubble jet system and the water heating system are all controlled by a snap-on digital control panel, which sits on the edge of the hot tub. This regulates the water temperature, up to a maximum of 104F. We found, however, that after about 20 minutes of using the bubble jets, the water temperature dropped a few degrees, to around 100F-102F. That is still a comfortably warm and soothing temperature, so we weren’t unduly concerned.
Setting Up Your MSpa B-90
The MSpa B-90 is simple to set up. You lay out the heat retention mat on a flat surface then unfold the hot tub onto the mat. Next, connect the control panel to the hot tub and attach the power supply to the control panel. You then inflate the hot tub, which takes about 20 seconds, and it is ready to fill with water.
Once the hot tub is about three-quarters full, attach the water filter and then begin heating the water. Plan on leaving it overnight to heat up the water to its maximum temperature; then your hot tub is ready to use.
Enjoying your MSpa B-90 Inflatable Hot Tub
Once the water is at your preferred temperature, slip into the hot tub and switch on the air bubble jet system. As we mentioned before, the powerful massage you receive is both a great stress-buster and excellent for hydrotherapy.

As well as the extras you get as part of the package, there are also several accessories you can purchase online. You certainly don’t need these to enjoy your hot tub, but the one we recommend is the drinks table which attaches to the side of the tub. This helps you have an all-in luxurious soak and massage, with accompanying drink, without having to get out of the water. Check out the latest price for the table AquaTray+Spa+Side+Table+Gray
Once you finish in the hot tub, remember to place the cover on the top. This helps to keep the water warm, so that it only needs a quick boost before you use it again the next time.
As you can see, the MSpa B-90 Alpine Inflatable Hot Tub is a great budget model. It is impressively strong, making it a good investment which should last for years. The water jet system is exceptionally good as well, much better than most other budget models, and it’s perfect if you’re buying your portable hot tub for health and hydrotherapy purposes. Overall, the B-90 is our #3 Budget Inflatable Hot Tub, pushed into third place only because it’s a little more expensive than the #1 and #2 models.
