Put a down payment on my very first hot tub today. After a lot of wet testing, and negotiations, we decided to go with the Jacuzzi J375. I found that I floated out of the lounger of most hot tubs and was very disappointed because I really wanted a lounger. The Jacuzzi salesman gave me a spa cushion to do my wet test with and that did the trick. He threw a seat cushion in for free since I was so delighted that it worked. I feel like we got a fair deal, but I've never bought a hot tub before, so not real sure. We got the J375 with cover, lifter, stairs, starter chemicals, spa brick cushion, and set up and delivery for $10,463.00.
We had another dealer quote us $10,230.00, but they did not let us wet test and just did not seem as friendly as the first dealer. So, I think it is worth $233.00 more to have a dealer who is friendly and enthusiastic and willing to go out if his way to serve us.
Can't wait till it comes in :-)
