The Spa Valet works exactly as advertised and is relatively easy to install, even if you’re not especially handy with tools. We first bought one in 2012 because our hot tub is mounted so only about a foot is above the level of our wooden deck. We needed a cover holder that could be installed on the sides of our tub, and the Spa Valet was just the ticket. Now, a dozen years later, we ordered it again because guests broke our original unit by forcing the cover closed without holding the release button. I was so relieved to find out that the Spa Valet is still on the market. It meant I could replace the broken one easily without having to drill new holes in the fiberglass side of our tub.
