Luxury Spas Allure vs Largo: Is the Upgrade Worth It?

The Luxury Spas Allure and Luxury Spas Largo are both premium 3-person hot tubs built for buyers who want more than a basic plug-and-play spa.

Both use a dedicated 240V electrical connection, a 5.5 kW titanium heater and a Balboa operating system. Both also include features that make ownership easier, including an ozone system, water filtration, cushioned neck pillows and an insulated spa cover.

The important difference is how far each model goes with hydrotherapy.

The Allure is the more straightforward option. It combines 29 stainless-steel massage jets, a 3 HP multi-speed pump and a dedicated circulation pump with ergonomic seating designed to support the back, calves and feet.

The Largo is the performance upgrade. It moves up to 54 adjustable massage jets powered by two 3 HP motors with a dedicated circulation pump as well. That is a major increase in both jet count and total motor capacity.

So, is the Largo worth the upgrade? For someone who wants stronger massage pressure, more massage zones and a spa that plays a real role in muscle recovery, probably yes. For someone who mainly wants comfortable soaking with targeted hydrotherapy, the Allure may already provide everything needed.

What Is the Main Difference Between the Allure and Largo?

The main difference is not seating capacity or electrical setup. Both are 3-person, 240V hot tubs.

The real difference is the level of hydrotherapy you receive.

The Allure provides targeted massage through 29 stainless-steel jets. Its jet placement focuses on the upper and lower back, calves and feet, making it a comfortable choice for everyday relaxation and moderate muscle relief.

The Largo nearly doubles the jet count. Its 54 adjustable jets are supported by two 3 HP motors, allowing the spa to direct more water through more massage points.

That changes how the two spas feel:

• Allure: comfortable, balanced and relaxation-focused
• Largo: stronger, more active and recovery-focused

The Largo is not simply a slightly larger version of the Allure. It is a meaningful performance upgrade.

What Do You Gain by Upgrading to the Largo?

The biggest upgrade is easy to see in the numbers.

• The jet count increases from 29 to 54.
• The main power system increases from one 3 HP pump to two 3 HP motors.
• You receive more massage points across the seating area.
• You gain more total motor capacity to support those jets.

That does not mean every Largo jet will always feel twice as powerful. Jet size, plumbing and how many zones are operating all influence the experience.

What the larger system gives you is more flexibility. The Largo can provide massage across more areas of the body without relying on only a small group of jets.

When the Upgrade Makes Sense

The upgrade makes the most sense when you plan to use the hot tub for:

• Post-workout recovery
• Recurring back or shoulder tightness
• Leg and hip massage
• Frequent hydrotherapy sessions
• Stronger water pressure
• Sharing the spa without giving up massage coverage

When the Upgrade May Be Unnecessary

The Allure may be enough when you mainly want:

• Warm-water relaxation
• A comfortable place for one person or a couple
• Moderate back, calf and foot massage
• A premium 240V spa without maximum performance
• A dedicated circulation pump for ongoing water movement

Buying more motor power than you will use does not automatically make ownership better. The right model is the one that matches how you will actually use it.

Dimensions and Space Requirements

Allure Dimensions

The Allure measures 86 inches long, 62 inches wide and 34 inches high.

It is three inches longer and three inches taller than the Largo, but one inch narrower.

The taller cabinet can help create a deeper-feeling seating position, while the longer shell gives the seating layout room to support a lounge-style experience.

Largo Dimensions

The Largo measures 83 inches long, 63 inches wide and 31 inches high.

It is shorter and lower than the Allure, but one inch wider. Its lower profile may feel a little easier to step over, especially when the included steps are properly positioned.

Which One Takes Up Less Space?

There is no dramatic winner.

The Largo is shorter in length and height, while the Allure is one inch narrower. For most patios, the three-inch difference in length will matter more than the one-inch difference in width.

The Largo may fit better when the space is limited from front to back. The Allure may work better when the installation area is narrow but has enough length.

Remember to leave space for:

• The delivery route
• The included steps
• Opening or removing the cover
• A future cover lifter
• Access to the equipment panel
• Safe movement around the spa
• Required electrical clearances

Seating and Comfort

Both hot tubs are rated for three people, but they do not necessarily create the same seating experience.

As with most 3-person spas, either model will generally feel most spacious when used by one person or a couple. A third adult can fit, but the experience will naturally feel more intimate.

Allure Seating Experience

The Allure is designed around ergonomic support. Its seats are shaped to provide lumbar support, while the jet layout targets the upper and lower back, calves and feet.

This is valuable for buyers who want the shell itself to feel supportive, even before the jets are turned to their highest setting.

The Allure is also three inches taller than the Largo. Taller users and shoppers who enjoy feeling more surrounded by water may prefer that added height.

Largo Seating Experience

The Largo places greater emphasis on hydrotherapy coverage.

Its 54 jets allow more massage points to be distributed across the three seating positions. That can make it a better choice when more than one person wants meaningful jet coverage during the same session.

The 31-inch cabinet gives the Largo a lower profile. That may appeal to shorter users or anyone concerned about stepping over a taller spa wall.

Which One Is More Comfortable?

Comfort depends on what you value.

• Choose the Allure if ergonomic support and deeper-feeling seating are most important.
• Choose the Largo if broader massage coverage is what makes a seat feel worthwhile.

The Allure may feel more naturally supportive. The Largo may feel more therapeutic once the jets are running.

Jets and Hydrotherapy Performance

Allure Hydrotherapy

The Allure includes 29 stainless-steel massage jets.

The jet layout targets several of the areas buyers ask about most often: the upper back, lower back, calves and feet.

For ordinary relaxation, occasional soreness and end-of-day tension, 29 well-positioned jets can provide a satisfying experience.

The Allure is a strong fit for:

• Everyday relaxation
• Moderate back massage
• Calf and foot relief
• Buyers who prefer targeted jets over a very high jet count
• People who do not need the strongest possible water pressure

Largo Hydrotherapy

The Largo has 54 adjustable massage jets, which is 25 more than the Allure.

Those jets are supported by two 3 HP motors. This gives the Largo substantially more capacity to move water through several massage zones.

The Largo is a stronger fit for:

• Post-workout recovery
• Frequent back and shoulder massage
• Hip and leg soreness
• Buyers who enjoy stronger water movement
• Households in which more than one person wants active jets

Is 54 Jets Always Better Than 29?

Not automatically.

A higher jet count is useful only when the pumps, plumbing and jet placement support it. Massage quality also depends on whether your body lines up with each jet.

However, the Largo does not rely on jet count alone. It also adds a second 3 HP motor. That makes its performance advantage more meaningful than a simple marketing increase in the number of jet openings.

Pump and Motor Performance

Allure: 3 HP Multi-Speed Pump

The Allure uses a 3 HP multi-speed pump to power its 29 massage jets.

The multi-speed design allows the spa to provide different levels of water movement. You can use a gentler setting when you want to relax or increase the output when you want a more active massage.

For 29 targeted jets, one 3 HP main pump is a reasonable and balanced configuration.

Largo: Two 3 HP Motors

The Largo uses two 3 HP motors.

This is the feature that most clearly makes the Largo an upgrade. More motor capacity allows the spa to support its larger network of 54 jets and provide massage across more positions.

Which System Is Better?

The Largo clearly wins for raw hydrotherapy capacity.

The Allure wins for buyers who prefer a simpler system and do not need high-output massage across dozens of jets.

Think of the difference this way:

• The Allure gives you enough power for a focused massage.
• The Largo gives you additional power for broader and more intensive hydrotherapy.

Circulation and Water Care

Both the Luxury Spas Allure and Largo include a dedicated circulation pump, which is a premium feature that helps maintain cleaner water while using less energy than running the main massage pumps. Rather than relying on the large jet pumps to move water through the filtration system, the circulation pump quietly keeps water flowing through the filters and ozone cleaning system. This continuous movement helps improve filtration, distribute sanitizer more evenly and reduce stagnant areas within the plumbing. Although a circulation pump contributes to better overall water quality, it does not replace routine maintenance. You'll still need to test the water, maintain sanitizer levels, clean the filters and periodically drain and refill the spa. Since both the Allure and Largo include dedicated circulation pumps, neither model has an advantage in this area. Water care performance is comparable, allowing you to focus your decision on hydrotherapy, seating comfort and overall spa design instead.

Does a Circulation Pump Eliminate Maintenance?

No.

A circulation pump and ozone system can help support cleaner water, but neither replaces normal hot tub care.

You still need to:

• Test the water
• Maintain sanitizer
• Adjust pH and alkalinity
• Clean the filter
• Drain and refill the spa as needed

The Allure may appeal to shoppers who prioritize continuous circulation. The Largo may appeal more to shoppers who prioritize jet performance.

Electrical and Installation Requirements

Both models require a dedicated 50-amp, 240V electrical circuit.

Neither is a standard plug-and-play spa. A qualified electrician should complete the electrical installation according to local and national code.

Allure Electrical Specifications

• 7,350 total watts
• 50-amp, 240V circuit
• 5.5 kW titanium heater

Largo Electrical Specifications

• 7,350 total watts
• 50-amp, 240V circuit
• 5.5 kW titanium heater

Because the electrical requirements are the same, choosing the Allure does not help you avoid professional electrical work. The decision should be based on comfort and hydrotherapy - not installation convenience.

Before Delivery

Confirm the following before either spa arrives:

• The delivery route is wide and tall enough.
• The foundation is flat, level and structurally adequate.
• The electrical work is planned and permitted when required.
• The spa disconnect location meets code.
• The equipment panel will remain accessible.
• There is space for the cover and steps.

The spa disconnect is often placed discreetly on another wall, behind a privacy screen or outside the main view of the patio. It still needs to remain accessible and correctly positioned by a licensed electrician.

Shared Premium Features

The Largo adds more hydrotherapy power, but the Allure already includes many of the same core premium features.

Shared Feature	Why It Matters
Balboa operating system	Provides digital control over temperature and spa functions.
5.5 kW titanium heater	Supports heating and temperature maintenance in a hardwired 240V system.
Ozone system	Helps support cleaner water between routine maintenance sessions.
Water filtration	Helps capture debris and maintain clearer water.
Two neck pillows	Provides support for the head and neck during longer soaking sessions.
Color-changing LED lighting	Adds atmosphere and visibility during evening use.
Insulated cover	Helps retain heat and protects the water when the spa is not being used.

These shared features are important because they show that the Allure is not a stripped-down spa. The Largo upgrade is mainly about hydrotherapy performance rather than receiving an entirely different class of controls, heating or water care.

Maintenance and Operating Costs

The basic ownership routine is similar for both models.

You should expect to:

• Test and balance the water regularly.
• Maintain the proper sanitizer level.
• Rinse and replace the filter when needed.
• Clean the acrylic shell and waterline.
• Drain and refill the spa based on use and water condition.
• Inspect the cover for damage or waterlogging.
• Follow cold-weather or winterization instructions for your climate.

Will the Largo Cost More to Operate?

Both models list the same total wattage and use the same size heater, but the Largo has two 3 HP motors.

Running both motors during intensive massage sessions may use more electricity than operating the Allure’s single main pump. The actual difference will depend on how often you use the jets and how long each session lasts.

Heating usually represents a major part of hot tub energy use, so operating cost will also depend on:

• Outdoor temperature
• Local electricity rates
• Your selected water temperature
• How frequently the spa is opened
• Wind exposure
• Cover condition and fit
• How quickly the cover is replaced after use

The Largo may cost slightly more during heavy hydrotherapy use, but the difference may be worthwhile if that performance is the main reason you are buying it.

Allure and Largo Pros and Cons

Luxury Spas Allure Pros and Cons

Luxury Spas Largo Pros and Cons

Which Hot Tub Should You Buy?

Choose the Allure If...

• You want a comfortable premium spa without maximum jet power.
• You prefer ergonomically shaped seating and lumbar support.
• You want targeted back, calf and foot massage.
  
• You mainly use a hot tub for relaxation and occasional soreness.
• You prefer a taller 34-inch cabinet.

The Allure is the sensible choice when comfort and targeted hydrotherapy matter more than having the highest possible jet count.

Choose the Largo If...

• You want the more powerful hydrotherapy system.
• You prefer two 3 HP motors.
• You want 54 adjustable massage jets.
• You plan to use the spa for regular muscle recovery.
• More than one user wants meaningful massage coverage.
• You want the shorter 83-inch cabinet length.

The Largo is the better choice when hydrotherapy is not just an added feature—it is one of the primary reasons you want a hot tub.

Best for Everyday Relaxation

The Allure wins. It provides ergonomic seating, targeted jets and a balanced pump system without pushing you toward maximum massage intensity.

Best for Hydrotherapy

The Largo wins. Its dual 3 HP motors and 54 adjustable jets provide considerably more massage capacity.

Best for Post-Workout Recovery

The Largo wins. More jets and more motor capacity make it the stronger option for frequent muscle recovery sessions.

Best for Continuous Circulation

It's a tie. Both the Allure and Largo include dedicated circulation pumps along with ozone cleaning systems and advanced water filtration to help maintain cleaner, healthier water.

Best for Easier Entry

The Largo may have a slight advantage because its cabinet is 31 inches high compared with the Allure’s 34-inch height.

Best Value for a Casual Soaker

The Allure is likely the better value. A casual user may not receive enough benefit from the Largo’s additional jets and second 3 HP motor to justify the upgrade.

Final Verdict: Is the Largo Upgrade Worth It?

The Luxury Spas Allure is a well-equipped premium hot tub. It gives you ergonomic seating, 29 stainless-steel jets, a 3 HP multi-speed pump, Balboa controls and a titanium heater.

For a buyer who mainly wants to relax, soak and receive targeted massage, the Allure is not a compromise. It provides the features most people expect from a quality 240V spa.

The Luxury Spas Largo is worth the upgrade when you want a noticeably stronger hydrotherapy system. Moving from 29 jets to 54 and from one 3 HP main pump to two 3 HP motors is a meaningful performance increase.

The upgrade is not mainly about appearance, heating or basic controls. It is about massage power.
