Welcome to our forum.
Master seems has four layer foam insulation the big therapy jets especially the 2 foot blasters,a 2.5# 5 to 3" tapered cover, that no other spas at the 8000 price pointf offer.really like marquis celebrity elite but no bench model and mostly small jets and no real foot jets same with artesian.would have to step up to island elite line or marquis signature line to get foot blasters and we'll over 10000 for both. Other tubs such as hot springs,sundance/jaccuzzi, all over priced with proprietary parts. Same with marquis vector
Yes I have wet tested jaccuzzi,marquis,bullfrog,Caldera,artesian and hot springs.did not see or feel any jetting that was impressive enough to justify prices.bullfrog was good but no feet jets and to replacing spa packs is expensive. Marquis and artesian were also good but not 10 to 12k good.haven't found anything inferior about a master spa compared to the others mentioned. I have read negative posts and reviews of master spas but also have read negative views and posts about every brand I have mentioned. I beleive if spa is well built with good parts that can be easily accessed from anywhere vs a spa that can only use their parts and are not as well built then to purchase would be asanine. Why do these companies build spas with proprietary parts in the first place? It isn't for the consumers benefit and that right there tells me their bottom line is their main concern not quality or customer servic. I have read many posts and reviews from many dealers who seem to genuinely care about their product and customer service and can't understand why some others would carry a product with inferior build,jetting,insulation and parts except to screw consumer for money. And maybe posting negative reviews and comments about companies that put money into spa and don't use proprietary parts which ultimately screws consumer.

Some of the stuff he says is good information, but quite a bit is total b.s
"Anyone who makes a proprietary part is evil and designing something inferior and are only looking to screw over the customer." "Balboa is the best, and Gecko is #2.... but it's not good enough to say #2... they are like... way down to number 5 or 6, and Balboa takes the #1,2,3,4 slots."

Finally figured out having a local dealers that you like vs someone far away is soooo much better. My two final choices are the Hollywood elite,full foam,in line filter,lifter and delivery 7500 vs v84 microsilk and same 9000. Or bullfrog r6 6995 no ozone or lifter and 8499 for r7. Both costco prices withe 7 yr warranty. The one pump on r6 really seems weak if more than 2 in tub and are the other non jetpack jets any good? Wet tested but didn't notice or forgot my bad. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks.
