Can anyone help with prices?

bullfrog 151 round $5,800  hotspring sx$ 5,500 or marquis rendevous$ 5,200  do these  sound like a good deal all come with cover set up

Prices sound good but you are all over the map at what you are looking for.  You are looking at a round tub, small square tub and a 2 person corner unit.  The rendevous is from the marquis signatre line which is their top line of tubs, the 151 is from the Bullfrog the sport series which is there entry level tubs and the SX is from the hot spot line which is there entry level line.  The rendevous is the smallest tub out of them.

What are you lookng for in a tub besides price?  All 3 of those are made by great manufacturers

Also I saw on you other post about living in Minnesota make sure to get the 220v model of any of these tubs.  I know the rendevous comes standard 110v

I can live with smaller tub my teenage daughter wants bigger for her friends and her but they will have to have 3 people over I want it for therapeutic reasons I work at daycare and can come home with some back pain and just to relax my daughter is a gymnast and has really sore muscles If I bought used and it ended up a lemon it would take me years to save again is why im leaning toward smaller and new

Another tub to check out would be the marquis E322.  Should be in the same price range

One big difference between them is the warranty on the Rendezvous will be longer than the others. 5 years parts and labor on major equipment and plumbing, 7 years on she surface, and 10 years on structure. I think the Hotspring is 2 years on equipment, 2 years surface, and 5 years on structure. I own a 2008 Rendezvous and it's a great tub.  Very energy efficient and easy to take care of the water, I run mine on 110v but you may want to go 220v if you're in a colder climate.  I use the SpaFrog system and it's super easy to take care of the water.  It's always crystal clear and very low in chemicals (I don't get out smelling like chlorine).
