My family is searching for our first hot tub. Obviously, I have alot to learn. I have looked at a number of brands. The costs so far have been from $4,000 up to $13,000. I like the Maax 781 as well as the Master LSX 1000 or Master 850 but am having a hard time justifying why these brands are any better than the cheaper brands. If you have personal experiences with either of these brands I would love to hear the pros and cons. Obviously there are many issues to consider during the selection process. Primary selection criteria: a) easy access considerations for elderly how to get cover on and off easily, pros and cons to hydraulic lift c) best options for herniated disc and arthritis d) cost feasibility is also an important consideration Thanks in advance.
