Welcome to our forum.
I'm a 1st time spa/ hot tub buyer. Have narrowed my choices down to the Jacuzzi J-245 and the Hot Springs / Hot Spot Rythm. Looking for some feed back and average pricing paid for these models. Also, looking for additonal model suggestions. Thanks!
on paper specs are very similar, same goes for warranty except the cabinet is 2yr. on the Rhythm and 1yr. on the Jacuzzi. I like the new 2lb insulation on the Rhythm, I believe Jacuzzi is using a 1/2lb polyurethane foam (Jacuzzi Jim correct me if I'm wrong)....these may not be deal-breakers and since the tubs are very similar (in specs, price, interior layout) I would recommend at least sitting in both, wet test if possible would also be recommended and also determining which dealer you are most comfortable with.

Thanks for the info.... Any thoughts on Strong Spas? I just put a post up on an offer i received from Costco and now my head is spinning.The pricing I have on the J-245 is $5,900 including steps and tax. The cost on the Rythym is $6,700 w/ ozonator, cover lift, stairs and disconnect.Thoughts....
