Hi we are purchasing a hot tub. I apologize for the long post. We have shopped around and have narrowed it down. (hopefully). I am getting a little frustrated.
We have wet tested the hot springs pulse. Very nice dealer gave us a price of $9600 for the floor model, out the door. We felt it had everything except for music. We were not happy with the two seats next to the filter. We both felt isolated. I am 5'2" and the tub felt very powerful , btw, my husband is 6'5". We expressed this to the dealer and he is now offering to have us wet test the grandee floor model, with a price of $11,500.
We wet tested the jacuzzi j-365, dealer was very nice as well. Gave us a price of $8600. Out the door. The Tub felt nice. Definitely more open and not to powerful. We both liked this one.
My husband wants to wet test the grandee and is asking about the J-470. I am concerned with going above our budget with the grandee. How much more money should the J-470 cost. He showed me a earlier post regarding a new J-470 with a price of $8300. So now he thinks the dealer is not giving us the best advice and is pushing the floor model and dealer said nothing about any type of rebate. The J-365 floor model did not have ant music either. I don't think the dealer is lying to us. My husband thinks we should continue to shop and feels we are overpaying for the j-365 floor model.
Are these good prices? Should we look at another brand? Are we comparing apples and oranges? Or is he on the right track?
Thanks for your help.
