Welcome to our forum.
Wet tested all three. I love the bullfrog a8, but it's a little more than I want to spend and they are not offering any deals on price or financing. The Sundance Chelsee is my second choice. Less cash and 0% financing for 18 months, which makes it even more attractive. Jacuzzi was not doing it for me, although the price was right. So now it's trying to either justify spending a few thousand more for the bullfrog or just going with the Sundance. It's a $3k difference, which is tough to justify. But damn I liked those jet packs... decisions, decisions.
I liked the jet packs because I liked being able to switch out the different feeling jets with different depths. The tub I tested had 2 deeper seats and two shallower seats and the one jetpack felt completely different depending on the depth. I liked both depths for different reasons. I like the ability to change things up and its a simple process. It solves one of my major complaints about hot tubs- that there tends to be one "good seat" and then you only use that one. Like I said, I've had a hot tub for 4 years now and I seem to always sit in the same seat. It's not because those jets are my favorite- it's because the depth is. So if I could enjoy all the jets at the same depth I would. I'd like some variety and the Bullfrog is the only hot tub that addresses that. I'm kind of surprised that nobody else seems to do that.
