SpaEase 200, Hydraulic Hot Tub Coverlift

The media could not be loaded. I follow the installation instructions exactly and installed it in 1.5 hours. Works perfectly, the promo video is 100% accurate. It fit perfectly and is a significant enhancement to it. Before I had this the cover was not easy to get back on now it's super easy. I highly recomend this product. It will save wear and tear on your cover. You no longer have to push it off and lift it on. The video with this review is from my installation.

Removing our spa cover has gotten more difficult as I age so I thought I would try a helper. This one fit our need because we do not have a lot of room around the tub and this lift required very little space. I should have read the instructions more carefully because I had to back track a couple of times but the installation is simple enough. Have used it for a few days now and it works as advertised. My only concern is for the durability of our spa cover as it literally hangs from the center hinge.

Instructions are horribly written but it is a very nice lift! When we bought our hot tub, it came with one of those flimsy, sit it under your hot tub body and hope it supports it, need the hulk to help swing it open without twisting and breaking, style lifts. Awful hunk of junk! We had been just sliding the cover off but my shoulder is too bad for that so luckily I found this and its such a blessing!! Even with my messed up shoulder, I can easily ONE HANDED open my hot tub now with this! Installation was super easy once you got it figured out. Just remove a side panel to be sure your frame is wide enough to support it (most will be) and add a 2x4 or two if not. Its worth it! Watch the corners though, theres no frame there to screw to so careful on how far back you mount. Also, make sure it does seat off the frame in the back in order to get clearance. It holds the cover in the air nicely, good for us. It blocks our nosy neighbor and their annoying dogs lol

Item was missing parts so I contacted the manufacturer and then sent the parts out to. Saved me the hassle of returning item to Amazon. Well made and instructions were good. Was able to install without any issues. It works real good. It raises really easy but it is a little harder to bring down against the shock.

It was missing a few screws not a big deal just a trip to the hardware store, pretty easy to install and seemed to work OK. after opening it 5 or 6 times a clip on one lift arm came off and would not stay on tried to contact Amazon and it was to much trouble to get help so I went for local help $50 later its fixed. Now 11 months after install the other side broke the lift cylinder. I did contact Amazon and said they didn't even have the manufacture's e mail , phone number or ant contact info, I just want to make sure I am getting the correct parts to fix it right and there is NO HELP! Bad Deal when you can't even buy parts to fix something that shouldn't be broken.

it functions well and it seems to be of good quality. mine was a return judging by the way it was packaged and some parts were put together already (i had to disassemble so i can install it properly) and it came with 2 inch screws for the mounting plate. I'm glad I didn't screw those into the hot tub cabinet or it would have gone through some of the hoses underneath. I went to home depot and spend an extra $10 and got 1 inch screws. Why drive 2 inch screws when the cabinet is only 3/4 inch max?Update: Less than a week later after only a couple of times of usage one of the strut bolts broke off. See picture. Now i have to send it back... after I drilled holes in the cabinet and put all the time into installing it. Frustrating.Update #2: I contacted the seller and they did send me a set of strut bolts to replace the broken one. I've made this a 3 star review because of the hassle and what i described above.

This product is fantastic. I needed the extender to work with our tub. I called the 800 number for SpaEase and the guy was fantastic! It turned out that it only took 30 minutes to install and it was easy. Since the cover stays up on above the edge of the hot tub it gives a little privacy and blocks the wind. The quality is fantastic!

Beware of your hot tub interior. The unit needs solid support and you might need to add a 2x4 to support it properly. The unit is easy to install and operates with ease. Great quality. Directions are fare. Watch the video
