Welcome to our forum.
Everyone seams to have acrylic insulated tubs with good construction now a days so I wasn't sure where or who to start with. After visiting a few dealers, I've been leaning towards Sundance Spas due to the micro filter cartridge that fits in the middle of the filter and the new jets with no moving parts. I felt that this was more of the sales pitch but after seeing the diferences in some of the competitors' filters I must admit I felt that this was quite important.The reason I bring up the above mentioned features is because the other competitors seem to have all the "same features"Other available spas that I looked at were Cal Spas and Arctic Spas. Am I missing something that I should consider or should I expand my search into Beachcomber, Hot Springs, Master Spas, Caldera, Dynasty, Bullfrog, Elite(believe this is Maxx Spas).My main question, what makes one spa better than the others...should I pay for one over the other when comparing apples to apples?
Disclaimer - You can see by my user name I'm biased. However, before I knew anything about Bullfrog Spas we happened to have several of these spa brands, including Bullfrog, at outdoor lodging properties and cabins I managed. Wow, what a quality difference. Several of the spas on your list would send parts in advance in anticipation of their spas breaking, and they did. We never once had to work on a Bullfrog. Secondarily, if you haven't looked under the hood you need to. Everything looks great from above, not so much underneath. Bullfrog Spas use no wood and are built in the USA. Nearly everything else is built with 2x4s or 2x2s in other countries with cheap labor and high employee turnover. If you've already purchased the Sundance, I think you're on the right track in terms of buying a nice quality spa, you could do much worse.

You sound like a politician taking snippets from things other manufacturers do to put them down. Saying you could do much worse by purchasing a Sundance? Sundance is an awesome spa and company! At least you put a disclaimer out there, I'll give you that. For the record, I think Bullfrog is a fine spa, along with many others, but in no way do I think it superior like you do.BTW, are you being paid by Bullfrog? What spas sent parts in advance in anticipation of breaking down? That just sounds like a flat out lie.
Bullfrog is ok and everyone is entitled to their opinion but the disclaimer was meaningless once he started the infomercial that followed it.
Bullfrog Spas use no wood
