You should have looked at the AMORE BAY from DImension One Spas before selecting the MAXXUS. It is a very nice spa, but you could have recieved a lot more for your money with the AMORE BAY and they are the same size. It might be about $500 more, but it would have been worth it.

JAMES THE HOT TUB GUY Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 After wet-testing a couple different spas.... we've decided to go with the Maxxus Just finished negotiating a deal which includes the following: - Maxxus tub w/57 jets - Intelli-Sound System - Ozonator - Steps - Special Tri-Fold cover with lift - Starter Chemical kit - Delivery ------------------------------------------ $ 12,850 +Tax = $ 771 ----------------------- Total = $ 13,621 Does this seem like a reasonable deal ? Yes that is a good deal I am the sundance dealer in atlanta and the dealer giving you that quote is low balling it I would not sell one that cheap but I also dont know where you are he may not have to pay as much for frieght like I do. Only one thing I suggest is dont get the tri fold cover they have had alot of trouble out of them get the bi fold and you wont have any problems. I hope this helps.

spatech (the unreal one) Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 You should have looked at the AMORE BAY from DImension One Spas before selecting the MAXXUS.

That was a ridiculous response. Just because he didn't choose your favorite brand/model doesn't mean you should respond as if he made a mistake.

reflective Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help in selecting our hot tub. We ended up with a 2010 Sundance Maxxus with stereo installed. Due to clearance issues above the hot tub, we were required to go with a tri-fold cover with Covermate lifter specifically made for the Maxxus. We have had the hot tub installed and up and running for about 2 months now and I wanted to give some thoughts on the installation process. We had planned to have the tub installed on our patio ( pavers ) only to learn that in our county, in order to acquire an electrical permit, we were not allowed to have a hot tub installed on a conductive surface without a bonding grid installed 3 feet around the perimeter of the hot tub. Since our patio did not have this grid installed ( it was built a few years ago ), we had to raise the tub an inch off the ground on a platform made of two by fours. We then put decking around three feet around the tub to satisfy the bonding issue. Once that was done, the electricians were able to run a 240V 60Amp circuit out and everything went well. We REALLY like the tub a lot and have been in it A LOT since we got it. All pumps/jets/features are working as advertised and we really like the look of the lights. We especially like the stereo system which sounds really nice. Our kids have been in with us and love the room they have to move around. The filter area is easily accessible and getting the water chemistry in the proper range was easily done. installation of the Covermate lifter was very straightforward. Posting a couple of pictures.... thanks again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE SPA GUY Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 reflective, congratulations on your new spa purchase, With your question is the Maxxus a good deal, I sell against them and i think you did good. but do not second guess yourself. If you are happy with the deal . then you are on the way. Just curious when you did your wet tests what other spas did you have that narrowed down too? What was you decisions based on? Brand,dealership, price,wetest. By the way great pictures we always like to see these. And Bond007 being new should have not even gone there on this. I sell D1 but that was not your question. Enjoy you tub...again looks great, enjoy your brand new tub..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far as pricing goes, although our local Sundance dealer doesn't seem to sell many of the Maxxus model, I think you got a pretty good deal on it. That is one huge hot tub too!! Enjoy!

Enjoy you tub...again looks great, enjoy your brand new tub..... SPA GUY - thanks for the kind words. To answer your questions.... we had already narrowed down our options to Jacuzzi and Sundance. Both dealers were within 30 minutes of our house and we felt comfortable talking with the sales associates at both. First, we tested the Jacuzzi J470, which was a VERY nice tub. I liked the the feel of the jets and the general look of the tub. The one thing I wasn't impressed with was the stereo system. It sounded very muffled, and even after changing the settings no it, the stereo system just didn't sound right to me. Having a decent stereo system was somewhat important because we like to work out in the yard at times and having music on ( without opening up the house ) is nice. The price we were quoted on the J470 was around 13,000 including delivery, stairs and everything. This seemed high to me, but was the best deal they were willing to make. Next, we wet tested the Sundance Optima, and that felt nice as well.... I loved the way those jets felt as well, and I particularly liked the neck jets. For the Maxxus, I really liked the size of the tub..... we have two younger children that get in with us often, and I wanted there to be room for them to move around. I liked the jets on the Maxxus, and I also liked that all 4 of the main seats had neck jets on them ( vs only 2 on the Optima ). The stereo on the Sundance models also sounded much better than the Jacuzzi J470. So, we went with the biggest tub.... and they were also willing to drop the price down to the range that Jacuzzi was selling it's J470 for. So it felt like we were getting a bit more for the money ( I say that relatively speaking, considering $13K for a hot tub in this world is NOT exactly a bargain ... :-). Anyhow, hope that helps answer some of your questions..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremiah, thanks ! The covered patio has worked out well and made the hot tub a lot more usable in this tough summer. Because it's shaded, we're able to get in the tub later in the evening even on hot days and it's still cool enough to enjoy. We're also hoping to be able to use it if it's misting/raining or snowing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
