Opinions on Canadian made hot tubs

[JBarrett]

Hey all...wondering if anyone had some insight as to which Canadian manufacturers were more sought after, reliable, popular (...can't say better)
To my knowledge the front runners are, in no particular order... Hydropool, Arctic, Beachcomber, Sunrise, Coast

I have left out cedar tub makers.

I have sold Coast and Sunrise. Stay Away from both. JMHO

Arctic and Beachcomber appear to be the two top ones.


H20 and Canadian Spa Company (walmart/homedepot) are a couple others you can add to the list of Canadian companies.

Thanks for the responses...
We are leaning towards the Sunrise Paragon Essence. The layout is very similar to Jacuzzi J-375, Hydropool 695. We like the idea of a smaller lounger without sacrificing corner seat (at foot of lounge seat)
All in, the Essence will come in about 4K less than the J-375. It's been a little difficult finding reliable testimonials/reviews on anything Sunrise related. I do find it somewhat comforting that their (only) manufacturing facility is about 1.5 hrs away.

Is the Sunrise 4k less tub than the Jacuzzi?

Admittedly, I'm getting a friends/fam discount on the Sunrise...major component in decision making
I think retail they might only be a couple K apart.

What was specifically wrong with both brands that you did not like?

According to the Sunrise web site they have some good things going for them. Roxul is good insulation as long as there is enough of it and it's done right. Admittedly I have never seen this brand or the guts of one.

Just went through the same decision.  I was able to wet test both Arctic and Beachcomber.
We narrowed it down to those two based on both online reviews, and the fact that we have local established dealers for both.  I didnt want to go with a brand that would essentially be dropped at the curb and leave me wondering what to do for support...
Ended up deciding on the Arctic Summit Legend Select.  Ordered about a month ago, we are supposed to take delivery in about 2 weeks.

I just bought a Hydropool Serenity 5000 about a month ago and so far no problems and got it for $7000
