Hi all,
We are looking to buy our first hot tub, and narrowed down to Beachcomber 740 and Jacuzzi 575.
Both have lounger , a must for us, but here is where the similarities stop...
Beachcomber
Pros:
- looks to be more solid built and is made in Canada
- leg jets are powerful and makes a clear difference
- comes with the stair since the pumps are under the stairs
- insulation looks better, not sure if actually is as claimed
Cons:
- not the nicest looking one
- only one diverter that transfers power from one side to other
- no wifi or smartphone app
Jacuzzi:
Pros:
- very nice looking, in fact one of the nicest I've seen
- I noticed 2 diverters - one for 2 opposite sides
- lighting is stunning
- mobile app included
Cons:
- insulation doesn't seem to be very effective, or maybe I'm wrong but I'm only seeing some sprayed foam on the tube.
- doesn't come with stairs, and cover is thin
- doesn't look too sturdy when you open the panel.
Where I don't know the difference is the jets at the legs: I know the Beachomber is powerful and relaxing (Beachcomber has 2 x 4.5hp pumps), but don't know about the MX2 jets in Jacuzzi, if they deliver same power. For me legs massage is very important.
Also might be worth to mention that I live in Canada, and Beachcomber is a Canadian brand and I'm guessing parts and service might be better.. although Jacuzzi could be as good.
What do you think we should go with?
I'm really confused...
