Wayfair has a best-rated, compact hot tub on sale at nearly 25% off; a perfect small backyard upgrade

Wayfair has this

compact, 2-person hot tub

on sale for

under $3k during its 4 Days of Deals

. The

AquaRest AR300

is designed to be plug-and-play, meaning you can go

from unboxing to soaking in about 24 hours

. You’ll thank yourself for this

low-fuss, high-impact backyard upgrade

you can do in a weekend.

Setup for

the AR300

is designed to be as simple as possible: no contractors, no special wiring, no surprise setup costs. It

plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet

using the built-in GFCI cord (just make sure your outlet is within about 12 feet), and fills up using a regular garden hose. The heating time depends on your starting water temperature, but it’s

fast enough

that you could feasibly order this and

be relaxing in it by the weekend

.

The

AquaRest AR300

has 20 jets, an LED-lit waterfall, and built-in filtration to help keep water clean between uses. The

roto-molded shell

is weather-resistant and durable enough to handle year-round use in most climates. It

does come with a cover

, but not with steps or a cover lifter, so depending on your setup, you might want to grab those separately. You’ll also need a few basic spa chemicals to get started — nothing fancy, just the usual hot tub maintenance stuff.

It’s also

more compact than most hot tubs

, which makes it ideal for small patios, side yards, or back corners of the yard where bigger models won’t fit. The

full footprint is about 6.5 by 5.5 feet

, so you’ll want at least a 6×6 area to work with, but it doesn’t need to dominate your whole outdoor setup. Even with the smaller size, it

still holds 160 gallons of water

and

comfortably fits two adults

— not bad for

something you can install yourself

.

The

AquaRest AR300

is a compact,

plug-and-play model that’s under $3k

, but only during

Wayfair’s 4 Days of Deals

. That’s 17% off the regular price — not a once-in-a-lifetime discount, but a

solid deal

on one of the better-rated small-space hot tubs out there. And the sale’s almost over.
