Check out Coast Spa and Arctic Spa. Two good canadian brands. Also Beachcomber and Hot Springs are two other good spas as well.. Is your price range around that $6000 CDN mark? Maybe bullfrog as well if you have a local dealer.

well i can spend up to 6500$ before tax but all the spas that you listed none of them are the one that i saw... does it mean that they are not good?!?

Welcome to the forum. We may not all agree which one is best. Personally of the 3 I have sat in the Jacuzzi 235 and its comfortable. That may decide what is best for you by trying it out first.

It's really impossible to answer your question regarding which is best. Lots of opinions though, and a knowledgeable opinion can be quite valuable.

Of those listed, I considered the Jacuzzi 235 before deciding it was too bare bones for my taste. I wanted more from my tub. In the end I bought a Sunrise S104 (which is Canadian) for a little more money. I found it to have more features, but less money, than the Jacuzzi 300 series.

Whatever is comfortable for you. Try to wet test before you purchase.

Personally, I think that Jacuzzi has the better reputation of the 3 listed, though I think Maax makes a good spa as well. I am not at all a fan of Cal Spa. In fact, they have a terrible reputation and my recommendation would be to buy anything BUT a Cal Spa.

We recently looked and the Jacuzzi J235 and J335. We did not like the layout of the J235 as well as the J335. On the J235 you enter/exit over the lounge seat and/or whomever is in it. Check into Lionheart's recommendation on the Sunrise S103/S104 if they are within your budget.

tx everyone for the answers! i know its hard to tell witch one is the best but in fact in want to know what is the best isolation full foam or the maax isolation ? and the frame is it better in steel or wood?

Two questions which have been debated on here more than Coke versus Pepsi... Each camp will swear theirs is best, while most people are truly on the fence and don't care.

Have to agree with Lionheart on this one. Personally, I wouldn't worry about which type of insulation or whether the frame is steel or wood. I would concentrate on getting a name brand tub with a good reputation for quality and workmanship, from a manufacturer and dealer that stands behind their product. I would then wet test and make sure that whichever make and brand of tub you get, you are comfortable in.

In my opinion Jacuzzi has the best reputation of the three. In my neck of the woods.
