Hello Everyone, I'm new to the spa world and was hoping to get some good advice from anyone that might be familiar with either of these spas. I was quoted on the Jacuzzi J375 $10k w/tax to include cover, lift cover, delivery and steps. Was also quoted $11,200 on a sundance Cameo to include the same extras. We want a spa for hydrotherapy. I lean toward the cameo for the hip jets and prefer the lounge feature thats in both. The sundance dealer said their Cameo model is more comparable to jacuzzi's J465 model. He also said the Jacuzzi J375 was more comparable to the sundance Hamilton which he priced at $8200. I welcome anyones opinion on the spas mentioned and whether the pricing I was given on both spas sounds like a great deal. Does anyone own one of these spas and how does the pricing sound? Thank you so much for the input.
Hi! You're looking at 2 great tubs. I recently purchased a hot tub for the first time, and indeed the Cameo and J-375 were among my final contenders. Like you, hydrotherapy is important for me. Being a cyclist and long-distance runner, I need good foot massage and calf massage...and I soon found that the models with a lounge seat were very therapeutic for me. I loved the Cameo but it had 2 major drawbacks for me: the lounger eats up 2 corner seats, and the spa quickly gets cramped if you're having more than 4 people in it. I turned my attention to the J-375, which solves the Cameo's first problem by still having 3 corner seats along with the lounger. But for me the foot jets in the lounger were too small and not strong enough for much-needed foot therapy. I was quoted pricing of $8,700 for the J-375 and $10,000 for the Cameo, before tax. Not quite satisfied with either tub, I continued my search and splurged a bit for a Jacuzzi J-480. The tub has an amazing lounger that fits like a glove, plus three awesome corner seats all with great jetting. It has the foot dome, the aesthetics are beautiful, and the tub is very comfortable for up to 6 adults. I highly recommend checking out the J-480. It's more expensive than the Cameo, but strike a really good deal on it and it won't be all that more expensive. Very best of luck with your search, and I look forward to hearing which model you end up with. You're looking at the 2 best brands, and you won't go wrong. All the best!!
