Welcome to our forum.
We justbought the BullFrog A7L and took delivery last week. My wife(5'3") was too short too sitin the lounge of the Aria and Flair. The BF lounge is more "flat" so we can both comfortably sit in the lounge39
I bought an Aria last year and I'm very happy with it. I checked out most brands felt the Aria was the best overall tub for us. I liked the seating layout, especially the corner seat and the foot jets. Loungers are always a different feel for everyone so wet testing is a must. I did fit well with this one. I didn't like brands that had a lounger with a "lip" on the side that pinned you in place. If you're a bigger person, this is a concern. Even though the jets are strong with the 2 pumps, I do wish they were a little more powerful (I like VERY strong, almost painful!). Of course, this can be obtained with the diverter valve and shutting some jets but I would love an overall 25% increase.My second place tubs were the Bullfrog R7L, R6L and Hot Spring Flair. Good luck! I don't have any buyers remorse with the Aria.
