nice review and good choice...nothing wrong with taking a good deal on the Jacuzzi, they also have a little stronger warranty than the bullfrog: 5yr component warranty vs. 3yr on bullfrog and a 7yr. shell surface warranty vs. 6yr on the bullfrog, something you hopefully won't need to take advantage of but its a nice little piece of mind at least

The warranty is better on Bullfrog for unknown reasons.

The warranty is better on Bullfrog for unknown reasons.Again, I find myself just setting the Bullfrog record straight. Bullfrog has a very good warranty. The above stated portions are correct that Jacuzzi's warranty is better. However:Jacuzzi warrants the shell structure for 10 years, Bullfrog warrants theirs for lifetime of original owner.Bullfrog's warranty on equipment and controls, although only three years is what they call "Blamefree" (a trademarked term) which includes almost anything except intentional damage. Jetpack plumbing which includes much of the piping in the larger Bullfrog tubs (mine only has one jetpack so a lot of mine is in the walls of the tub) has a lifetime warranty against leaks. Jacuzzi covers their plumbing components for 5 years.Again, Jacuzzi has a very good warranty, but so does Bullfrog.

Lifetime Shell Structure and EnduraFrame™ WarrantyBullfrog warrants the Bullfrog Series I & Series II Spa shell not to leak and the EnduraFrame (injection- molded cabinet frame) against degradation for the life of the original retail purchaser of the spa. After six years from the original spa purchase date, the defective spa must be sent to Bullfrog for repair.
The customer would be FAR better off to get a standard 10 year shell warranty than a Lifetime*-6 year warranty (IMO).
What exactly is "lifetime"? The life of the spa,the life of the owner what? I guess if the shell cracks then the life of the spa is up? Also correct me if I am wrong but don't most states limit lifetime? For instance lifetime in Washington state is only 7 years..
