Sunbelt is a mass producer who sells both directly to the public as well as to dealers who can then take the Sunbelt shell and add their own jets to them in their own configurations. It's not a bad spa but sometimes the methods of insulation don't work as well as some of the name brand tubs. I think Sunbelt uses "thermal pane" rather than full foam. If your weather is cold (i.e. under 0-celius frequently) a sunbelt spa may cost you more to run than a comparable Hot Springs, Dimension One or Jacuzzi foam tubs would. In the US, the Sunbelt products are typically under $6,000 vs. name brands that sell for around $10,000. So, if you can buy it for about 40% less than a name brand, it may be worth it. However, if it's only a few thousand dollars less, don't bother. Spend the $'s and get the "real deal" with a true brand manufacturer.
