livealittle Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I visually and physically (without water) tested a few spas today and so far have found the Bullfrog to be a very nice spa. I am only 5'2" and found it quite comfortable for myself but am a little afraid about having people with longer legs than I go in it. I almost felt as though I was lounging while sitting in the regular seats. Unfortunately I only got to sit in the 662 which has a lounger which has a bit smaller foot well. I loved the lounger (again it was without water) and am anxious about going for a wet test. My dilema is that since this is my first time in purchasing a spa I don't know whether to get a lounger or not. We do have quite a bit of company but I think the first people to please is myself and my family. Without the lounger, the 682, it comes with 6 actual seats, just as the 662, but with a higher elevated section that could sit 1-2 people who would also be halfway in/out of the water and the foot well would be a bit larger with foot jets. Since I already feel as though I am lounging in a regular seat, should I just choose the 662 or should I go for that extra AH moment and go for the lounger. My family doesn't care what I get as long as it's a hot tub and since they don't want to come out and wet test with me, I'm in a bit of dilema in choosing one to accomodate everyone. HELP!!!

The 451 is a non lounger, it has a captains chair. I think after the wet test you should have an Idea of what fits you best. Most people that have issues with loungers have a spa design that allows floating you will find that this is not the case with any of the bullfrog models. But try it out and enjoy your wet test. I was very impressed with the amount of water flow. TBK Happy Hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I'm torn between the 682, no lounger, a little more foot room and foot jets compared to a 662, with a lounger, but a little less foot room. Are you a very tall person, meaning 6' or so. If so, how comfortable are you in a spa of these sorts. Do you find that there is not enough leg room for you? I'm short and that's why I'm asking. It's hard to decide when you can't see both models in the store. Again, thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may find a lounger is a nice option. TBK Happy Hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed people stating this fact or fiction. You find the foot well to be okay for you? Do you like and use the seating section that is half out of the water? Looking forward to hearing your views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to hearing your views. I initially had the same concern, but after having a conversation and a quick visite to the plant I personally spoke with Alex Eddington the inventor of the jet pack. he showed me the circulation port that they have behind the pack, the flow is similar to a jet in relation to flow. Have had 0 issues in fact my water management seems easier than the Marquis I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which style do you own and for long have you owned it?Would you recommend a lounge, if so, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
