Jacuzzi J-500 Series tubs

[ryan5508]

Just wondering if anyone owns one yet and what their thoughts are. Happy with your purchase?

I wet tested a J-575 and a J-480 This afternoon.

jet and feel wise inside seemed similar enough.
Control panel seems like a big upgrade. The 4 series was clunky to navigate menus.
Lights seems better also.


I have been with out a tub for about 10 years now. I had a coast spas lanai. I was mostly satisfied with it but would like something better overall.

the only rumblings I've heard are dealers complaining about the cost of these things...were you given a price? based on what I know if a dealer maintains a "normal" margin this thing will push 17k+...Not a terrible thing you just better make sure you like it for that type of cheddar :-)

The price has definitely pushed it out of my desired range. Even the 400 series seems a bit high compared to other tubs in my area currently.

We bought the Jacuzzi J-345 last year. At the time our sales guy told us he didn't believe the extra money for the 400 series was worth it for what you get in the 300 series.

So I should probably test them out too 

I think their getting sick of me showing up randomly with a bathing suit and a towel already.

Try to wet test a couple of your favorites on the same day so you have a good reference of one versus the others.
