First models took forever to fill, you sat there cold waiting for water to rise. Newer model has a faster fill rate rate and a heater. Had one in a condo we used that had the newer model, felt safe getting in but just imagine getting in your empty regular tub and setting there waiting for it to fill. It's a chilly start. Best way is to have a shower installed with it, start with a shower, letting the tub fill and then finish with the water for a bath.
Would not spend the money on it, we spent less on a spa, constant temperature, with little upkeep with the new heaters and chemicals. Even with outside temps in single digits cost is about $30 month for six person spa
