Title: please tell me I didn't make a mistake
Post by: IlliniFan on October 18, 2007, 11:00:17 pm
Next weekend will get my J335 delivered.  I have read some not so good reviews of course after I purchased.  Somebody please tell me that I didn't make a big mistake!

Jacuzzi is one of the most respected names in the industry.  Remember that there are bitter people on the internet who simply bad-mouth others for no solid reason.  They go on and on about problems but 99% of it is fabrication.  An EXCELLENT example is when a guy sells his own "custom built" pieces of crap and tries to "pretend" he knows more than EVERYBODY else.  That one particular guy is a megalo maniac and is dumber that a piece of paper.  Where in EARTH have you heard bad reviews from?

PS - I am NOT a dealer.  Just a consumer with a Jacuzzi and mine has been GREAT for over 4 years now.  Great product, great price.  Unless you paid someone $8K or more for a 335, you did fine (335 street price is probably under $6K).

You can always find an unhappy owner so don't be too bothered if you were only reading an individual bad review, it happens. Jacuzzi isn't great just because Bunka likes his individual spa and at the same time it isn't bad just because the other guy wrote a review about problems he had with his. Both of them can be totally truthful in relaying their expereince but what you're looking for is a trend. I'm not sure what you read but Jacuzzi is a respected brand and generally gets very good reviews so relax and enjoy, you'll be fine.

Relax, if you did your homework and wet tested the spa you'll be fine.  Like the others have said, there is always someone not happy with something.

IMHO you didn't make a mistake and I don't even own a Jacuzzi. ;)

I agree with what has been said.

I am really curious as to where you got the bad reviews.  Would you mind letting us know that?

You know I am brand new to this.  I have been so many places on the internet.  One site seemed to be mostly out east, talking about jets popping off, bad circuit boards, "socks" falling off, etc.  I went back to try to find site, but couldn't. My spa will be delivered next weekend.  We are a master suit on our little house with a deck and hot tub off the bedroom.  Still in construction, but deck almost completed.  Electrician suggested bringing tub covered, and sitting in place so he could get wiring right.  Dealer will come back after electricity installed and then set it up.  I probably paid too much for it, but oh well.  Thank you all for the information.  I feel better.  What ever site I was on was awful.

IL, you didn't make a mistake. Jacuzzi is a reputable brand. Relax, you have a 5 year warranty for most of the major components. Take some pictures for us after the install. This is the best spa site around.....

Thank you.  Ok I will relax now with the jacuzzi choice. :) :)  Now  I will just worry about Illinois beating Michigan tomorrow night.  You all wear orange tomorrow! Watch the game on ABC. Look for me.  I'll be the one with an orange sweatshirt.

Are you sure it wasn't in Colorado?

The same thing happened to me 8 or 9 years ago. I found a site that claimed that all the major brands were overpriced deathtraps, & their dealers were lying, thieving scoundrels. I did more research over the next few months, but that one site was always in the back of my mind, even though I could never find it again. When I finally found it, and realized who was "in charge", it really put my mind at ease - I couldn't believe I had ever fallen for half of that stuff.

It's one of the main reasons I keep posting on forums like these, and why I'm looking for a new career in the spa industry. There's a lot of crud out there, and spa shoppers have to dig through a ton of it. It shouldn't be as difficult as it is to find useful information.

Fire Urban? I agree that Karl Urban would not be my first choice to play "Dr. McCoy" in the upcoming Star Trek movie, but firing him before they start filming is a little harsh, don't you think?

Maybe 'Gator nation will settle down on Urban after getting by Kentucky.  Without Tebow (sp) KU would have put a 'woopen on them.

That DOES sound like the most deceptive guy in the world of spa sales.  We refer to him here as the "Spa Deceptionist" so yep, lots and LOTS of mis-information, half truths, false self-validations, etc.  He's banned pretty much every where on the internet, not because of he has any "secret sauce" but rather because he is so abrasive and even attacks his OWN clients (One of his potential client's would have been a preacher.  Jim attacked the poor guy and pretty much declared him of being "the devil himself" when he questioned just a few of Jimbo's claims.  There are a Large number of people who have escaped his clutches.

I don't think you made a mistake at all.  I have owned a J-355 for about 10 months now and simply love it.  We have not had one minutes trouble, and knock on wood, don't anticipate any trouble.  I found some of the same reviews you mention but was somewhat familiar with Jimbo and his line of BS so I discounted them.  

I think you made a great choice!  Enjoy!
