Jacuzzi J-480

[cappykat]

I love the Jacuzzi...we considered the 385.  Just gotta put a little dig here on the stereo.  Marquis has already done it with their soundsations.

[hymbaw]

It has taken both Jacuzzi and Sundance tubs to a new level (IMHO)  Or at least brought Jacuzzi up to a new level


1.  New Jets w/ different clusters (bearingless?)
2.  New Air controls (o.k.)
3.  80/20 air to water ratio (??)
4.  New kickin' sound system (Sundance has had for couple of years )
5.  Centre pod w/ jets (Just like an Optima!!)
6.  Water falls work off a seperate control (Just like an Optima)
7.  one side of tub is higher than the other - it looks really cool!! (I'll give ya that)
8.  New Filtration which allows for a much larger square foo area while keeping energy costs the same (Micro-filtration?)
9. Microban shell (this is not true - unless they are using a different acrylic than Sundance - which I doubt)


10....and finally for those Jacuzzi owners spilling their drinks all over the place (like me)-------cup holders!!!! (nice feature)

Where is your show?

We're located in western North Dakota.

Spa Happy, I have done 3 shows since the 400 series came out, the only advice I can give you is to make sure you fill the 470. It rocks. And the stereo will blow people away.  I have another show going this weekend too. Best of luck!

Thanks Micah and best of luck to you as well. The J-470 will have water in it at the show. Tomorrow will be the first time I've seen this spa. Or main store ordered two for the show they did in March and both of them sold before we could get the chance to travel down to see them.

My co-worker and I both love our Coleman 706's, but who knows we may just have to upgrade to the J-470 after this weekend.

Have fun at the show and post some pics.  I'd love to see how you set up your booth.  Good luck and good selling!

Do you know what you are going to sell it for?  I've heard from my Jacuzzi rep that throughout the country Jacuzzi dealers are afraid to sell the value of this unique collection of spas, the 400 series.

All of our 480 have sold for around 12k and everyone has had stereo.

Canadian price I was quoted was....

$13,700 + $1700 for stereo option.

Pricey, but it's got everything.

[spahappy]

10,700.00 with stereo 9,700.00 without.

I'm a little nervous this is the highest priced spa we've ever sold. However up till now 35% of our total spas sold were the Coleman 706. That spa is now priced at 9,400.00.

My store is a small branch store, located 100 miles from the end of the world. However we sell more high end spas than our main store simply because it's the spa we have in our backyard and we really love our 706's.

I have a feeling after reading the comments here that hubby might not get to trade our boat off for that new one just yet. Cuz momma might just have a new spa....

[hottubdan]

12K w/ stereo sounds about right.  Good job.

I didn't order a 480 for my show, as I'm not a big fan of lounge seats, I had a 470 in platinum with the coastal gray synthetic cabinet and stereo, the wet demo 470 sold for  10,750, I took 6 other orders on the same model all @ 11,500. True, these spas are expensive, but absolutly worth every penny. That is the first time I've ever posted what I've sold a spa for and I think it will be the last too, I'm not real comfortable publishing prices like that.

I'm not a big fan of lounges either but it sure seems like a lot of customers are (probably more than 50%), especially those who go to a show and buy without ever wet testing them.

We hardly even use the lounge in our 385, but we knew that from our wet tests.  Wish they had a 385 with a deep bucket seat in that spot.

[Wisoki]

WHy what? Why dont I like lounges? Why don't I like to publish prices? Why did I sell 7 J-470's?  Why what?

Why??
