I knew I would love it & I did! At 6'-4" tall I was squished in some of the tubs I tried (knee to chin syndrome). The re-designed maxxus has incredible legroom, a foot dome w/ severe gusto, 2 water falls, a lounger ( wasn't really wanting one but I enjoyed it),led lighting,3-3hp cont.run pumps(not brake hp) this spa is large & very powerfull, I know this is not for everyone but it's what I am looking for. It has 55 jets, every seat seemed as good as the previous one. . I don't understand why this spa is not considered a party tub?It is a huge improvement over the '04 model (large tub but not a great layout). Now the long wait begins, 5 weeks till it arrives (i'm counting the days). My price was $10,325 w/ ozone, coverlifter,steps,start-up chems & delivery. I cannot say enough about the dealer, great bay spa in portsmouth NH. 20+ years in business & never charges any traveling fees for warranty work. Huge party!, everyones invited(except for the kid who left the doogie in that poor lady's tub) Again thanks for all the info!
