2014Spa Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 We are in the market for what we consider to be a mid-range hot tub ($6-8k). It will mostly be 2 adults and 1 child using the tub, maybe 3x/week. We like to soak, jets aren't as important, we don't want a lounger or stereo. Closest and highest rated dealers are Hot Springs and Jacuzzi. Below is what we have looked at, in no particular order. We are unable to wet test these, as the dealers only have the higher ends filled up for that. Are the prices off-base? Each comes with delivery, standard cover, and pool chemicals. Will try to negotiate lift and/or steps if it makes sense. Should we be concerned with only a 2yr warranty (hubby is handy but we don't want a money pit)? What else should we consider? What are your thoughts/recommendations? 1) Hot Springs Hot Spot, Tempo - $6k. 2yr warranty. Seems like the seats might be too reclined and not much foot room. Don't like the color options available to us. Not our top choice. 2) Hot Springs Highlife, Prodigy - $7500. 5yr warranty. Same issue with the slope of the seats. 3) Jacuzzi J-245 - $6k. 2yr warranty. Loved the seats during the dry test. Top contender. 4) Jacuzzi J-345 -$8.5k. 5yr warranty. Maybe not quite as comfy as the 245, but hard to tell from only a dry test. Over budget.
