Anywhere you've got a 110V outlet and a hose, you've got romance, of a sort.

To be fair, these do look a lot more durable and well-built than a kiddie pool: They hold 125 gallons of water and seat two adults comfortably. They've got massaging jets, LED mood lighting, and drink holders, which basically means you're getting laid (seriously, take a look at the risque PG-13-rated ads on their site). While they are "portable" they also weigh 240 pounds without water, so you can't exactly drag it inside when it rains. On the plus side, you'll look way less trailer-trash lounging in one of these with a beer than you would in a kiddie pool.

The SpaBerry retails for $5000 in a variety of berry-inspired colors, including SnowBerry and SlateBerry which are not actual berries, I'm pretty sure. Giant stickers with palm trees and sunsets and rainforests cost $400 extra. [SpaBerry via CoolHunting]

<![CDATA[Photos Emerge of Emirates A380 Showers: Tiny, But Luxurious]]> See that happy-looking lady in the pic? She's standing in an Emirates A380 in-flight shower room, details of which have emerged after we first alerted you to this airborne luxury. The "shower spas" are pretty decently kitted-out, and the aircraft carries an extra 1,100-pounds of water to allow every one of the 14 first-class passengers to have a splash. As a result, the shower only runs for five minutes, and there's a traffic-light system to let you know how the time's going. And if you're planning on trying to form a new "mile-high, in the shower" club, you'd better forget it: the showers are small, "designed for single usage."


That extra 1,000 pounds of water (25% more than usual) means the aircraft will have to carry more fuel, which may weigh heavy on your environmental conscience. Or maybe lying in your massage bed in the private first class room, with remote-control doors and mini bar will make you forget your woes. [Mail on Sunday]

<![CDATA[Aquafit Gymnasium-Spa Hybrid is Watery, Ironic]]> Apparently, sitting at your chair all day while blogging about gadgets is not supposed to be so good for your health. That's where Dimension One Spas' Aquafit 19 Dual Temp comes in. The $40,000 gymnasium/spa allows users to have a full, underwater cardiovascular workout by using the included rower, tricep pull-down and simulated jogger or swimming facilities.

The exercise area maintains the water temperature at levels that are ideal for the body's thermoregulation during an intensive workout, while the spa area heats up to get things steamy and soothing. Additionally, the spa area is positioned so close to the gymnasium portion of the tub, you won't have to expend any more calories than is necessary to get there, which is kind of ironic for a gym. So ironic, it's giving us muscle ache just thinking about it. [Bornrich]

<![CDATA[Amore Bay Is Most Hideous Hot Tub Ever Created]]> This is $20,000 of love-themed hot tub, the Walker Signature Special Edition. Special features include seating for six, tacky red hearts, fountains, Valentine-red colors, a "playground area" (ooer) and MP3-ready stereo. Our ideal use for this tasteless tub is in the video after the jump. [Born Rich and Dimension One press release]

<![CDATA[New Jacuzzi J400 Hot Tub is All About the iPod]]> I dream of a day that I can dock my iPod with anything, (although I think that the release of the iCarta toilet paper holder a couple of years ago pretty much made that dream a reality) and now Jacuzzi is doing their part with the J400 series line of iPod-compatible hot tubs. Thanks to the integrated AquaSound Audio System, you can listen to your favorite tunes without headphones while you relax. The music is pumped through waterproof micro-speakers that you can control with a sweet floating remote.

Other features that Jacuzzi lovers might find appealing include: illuminated jets, dual "WaterColour" waterfalls, a therapy lounge, footmound jets, and a CD player or AM/FM radio for anyone who is sophisticated enough to buy an iPod compatible tub, but not sophisticated enough to actually own an iPod.[Jacuzzi via Sci Fi via Born Rich]

<![CDATA[Hot Tub With 61-inch HDTV Built In]]> If we're ever rich enough to afford this hot tub/spa with a 61-inch HDTV built in, we can officially hang up our keyboards and retire from this blogging game. This spa from Catalina Spas seats four, has an extremely obscene amount of jets, and will instantly kill you in a few years when the wiring on the TV gets worn down. But hey, at least the four of you will go in the comfort of watching and/or listening to a DVD, CD, AM-FM radio on the 2 pop-up speakers and not on the toilet, as we've always feared. But if we remember our autopsy class, that tub's going to be a toilet soon after anyway. [Marketplace via Born Rich]

<![CDATA[Energy Cocoon Tub: Room for One More?]]> Install an entire spa in your bathroom with this Energy Cocoon Tub, giving you an invigorating combination of soothing bubbles, billowing steam and an infrared sauna all in one unit the size of a regular whirlpool tub. It contains three multi-colored lamps for a bit of that soothing chromatherapy, and of course, it has those Jacuzzi-like waterjets, too. Then when you're done, you can rinse off with its hand shower.

Yep, it's got it all. Close yourself up in this baby with just your head sticking out, and emerge a while later feeling good as new. Looks like some good clean fun.

<![CDATA[Solo Personal, Portable Sauna]]>

"Man, it's like a sauna in here." You'll be making this hilarious joke to yourself on a daily basis while engulfed in the Solo personal sauna. This is essentially a tube-like tent that will get all hot and frothy so you can sweat away all of that negative karma you received from a hooker earlier in the day. The Solo personal sauna can operate for up to 12 hours at a time if you need to get rid of a lot of negative karma from a particularly dirty hooker.

<![CDATA[Pet Spa: Traumatize Fido Forever]]>

I think it is safe to say that most cats and dogs have traumatic experiences with this device, but at least they will smell nice afterwards. Sure, being covered water and chemicals in a tight space is something all pets love, right?

The Pet Spa system will clean, de-flea and dry your beloved pet in a matter of only 30 minutes. It does include special technologies that prevent the pet from being uncomfortable—because, you know, being drenched with water and chemicals isn't uncomfortable at all. The machine will monitor water temperatures and if it were to rise or fall 3 degrees from the set temperature the system will kick off to prevent panic and/or damage to the pet. For larger dogs or extremely fat cats, you are stuck with the hose. Oh well, hosing off a cat has to be one of the funnest experiences of anyone's day.

<![CDATA[CalSpas Hot Tubs and Spas]]>

If you live in New York, unless you're incredibly rich or choose to live out in the boondocks an hour's train ride from Manhattan, chances are very high that your apartment is small small small. Most of us have combination living/dining spaces that don't really have room for living or dining, so I've been trying to convince people for years that we should give up on the idea of couches and tables once and for all and just all install hot tubs.

I mean, seriously, think about it—what would you rather do after a long day of work? Walk in the door and plop down onto the Ikea Ektorp sofa bed you've had since college? Or walk in the door and soak in a big hot tub like the CalSpas Galaxy Entertainment GX49 Spa, with its 49 superjets, auto-rising 42" plasma screen and marine-grade surround sound speakers with subwoofers? I know what I'm saving my hard-earned gadget blog-writing coin for.
