I like the quality, and I was able to install by myself with some ingenuity at age 72. Assembly was easy after studying the seller’s video on Amazon. I used a rubber mallet, after getting tips from other reviewers here, to push it underneath the completely empty hot tub ( a LS350 Plus by Lifesmart Spas, 110v Plug and Play, 28-jet spa, weight 440 lbs). I had to lift a corner just enough to get the edge of the cover lifter’s metal base under so I could then bang it gently into place using the rubber mallet. It helped that I had placed a piece of white Coroplast plastic sheet under the metal base so it would help slide it in & also protect the metal base from rust staining the concrete patio floor. I later trimmed the Coroplast sheet excess around the perimeter of the base. To lift the corner of the tub after getting the hydraulic cover lifter base with the Coroplast sheet in place where I wanted it, I used a pointed shovel used for digging deep when planting trees ( a long crowbar might work). It may be easier if you have a helper, but I was determined to do it & was able by myself. I placed the cover lifter on the longer side of my rectangular tub, opposite to the pump access side. It is working very well! I now can easily remove & put back the cover. My cover is not super heavy so this lift works great 👍.

Lift arrived with a small crack in one of the welds and some black paint chipping off the steel paint. I tried to use it anyway. After the first few attempts to have the cover holder rotate down against the stress of the strong hydraulic, multiple critical welds failed and the cover lift was too broken to use. In addition, there were multiple rust spots after just 2 rain falls, which I suspect was from unpainted steel on the inner areas. I had to return this item and due to the cheap welds that critically failed after just a few rotations.

Seemed a little shaky, but holds my cover just fine.

Easy to build. Works well. Slight pressure to raise and lower. Piston does the work. Allows for 1 person to pull cover all the way off and on.

Works absolutely fantastic, and makes lifting the hot tub cover very easy. I would give this five stars except that I have only been using it for seven months and it is already getting very rusty, even though it is in a covered area. I will have to see how long it will last. If it last two or three years I would definitely give it five stars, but with the amount of rust it has already I am confident it will last at least a year, but how much longer, I am not sure.

Worked great with our Softub portico

We live in Minnesota, we set this up - which required us to empty the hot tub - that would be fine if it worked. We have used it a handful of times (and have had hot tubs and similar cover lifts for 30 years) and the other night we opened the hot tub and the lid lift snapped and the hot tub lid fell to the ground and also sustained damage so we now have to buy a new hot tub cover and a new lift. We purchased in November 2025 and it broke 4 days ago (March 2026) which is one month outside of the return window. They offered us $20. It’s very disappointing, we are careful people and this shoddy product is now costing us $1000.00 more because we have to replace the cover, too. If you live in a cold weather climate or have a thick hot tub lid (ours is 7 inches) this is not a good option for you. I’m not sure how it would fare in warmer weather, but overall it is very cheaply made.

Inexpensive and works great, even on round tubs.

Bon produit. Fabrication robuste! Digne d’un Jaccuzi.
